Used Macbook Air M1 16GB/512GB
Just pass 1 year warranty, no AppleCare.
Cosmetic-wise… perfect, like new.
Battery 88cycles, 95%

For the price of 3700-3800, it’s considered not worth it or okay?

what's the lowest 16GB + 512GB price u've seen?
Even searching for those reselling, quite hard to find.

Thats why i wanna know if it’s worth it to buy that spec on that price range.
Buying 2nd hand stuff all got that possibility.
Even in my experience, my 2nd hand stuff all very tahan compared to newly bought stuff.
So… i guess all comes down to luck?

I asked Switch once.. they said estimate cost for replacing MBA M1 battery is around 1.7-2k.


Update:
I whatsapp them to confirm.. Now give me different price

Thanks.. already bought

I noticed that the battery drain is slower around 90-100% (sometimes got around 3-4 hours before it reach 95) and around 10% drop for 1hour+ normal usage after that.
Is that consider normal?

Yes... M1
I rarely use the laptop continously... normally spread 2-3 days (since i'll be using my desktop when at home)
Roughly calculate, i'm getting more than 10 hours.

Are there any way to detect? Or i need to manually keep record on how long i'm using the laptop?

Who use AlDente?
The apps won't work while the laptop sleep, right?
It suppose to continue charging up to 100, even when limit set.
But why mine's still stops at the limit set?
(Forgot to set the timer).

I'm using the free version.

How to calibrate? The fullcharge > deplete battery?

Restarted.. it goes to 87 initially and back to 86.

Internal battery optimisation... in the Battery settings?


Turned off

I set it at 85% since the first day i use it.
Thanks for the link.. I'll try to do that.

I do intend to not fully charge the macbook
Just curious with the apps as it won't work when the laptop goes to sleep.
Before this, there's time when it'll charge to 100 when i forgot to turn off the charger.
But it's not happening just now...

As far as I remember... i don't install such apps...

Do you guys do OS updates as soon as it's available?
Or wait for some times until it's free of bugs (if there's any)?

Any of u guys ever replaced the battery?

3 years, now battery at 90%
But I noticed that leaving the laptop on sleep, still drains the battery like crazy... more than 50% after 12-16 hrs...
That's not normal, right?
Used to be able to charge the laptop 2-3 days in not in use..

Lately I rarely use/charge the macbook. And it'll continue to sleep until battery goes 0% when I close the lid.
Any way to make the laptop automatically shutdown (or better, hibernate) when the battery is low?
