Just got my Macbook Air M1. I am a happy man now.
Trying to set it up instead of transfer from my MBA 2013. Still need to get used to the keyboard distance. Kinda disappointed that still need to delete some items in keychain access in order to unlock from my Apple Watch. |

QUOTE(johnsonxray @ Mar 6 2021, 08:27 PM) Whats the alt browser you guys use besides safari and chrome? The new Microsoft Edge is a good replacement for chrome since it also based on Chromium.Tried to use chrome but its really consuming too much resources and generating a lot heat also..I tested using chrome to watch some live Twitch streaming on full screen and the cpu reached 100c, while safari only recorded at around 50+ degree on the same video streaming settings. Safari is no doubt a good browser, but just wanted to know if there is something better outside.  But I will just stick to Safari on Mac and using Edge on Windows. |

QUOTE(ionStorm @ Mar 8 2021, 03:45 PM) Use Chrome. Safari will destroy your SSD. It loves to swap. Thank you for your advise. I know M1 love swap, but don't know Safari is one of the app.But I remembered review show that chrome use 10x ram more than Safari. Maybe I try Edge.

QUOTE(ionStorm @ Mar 12 2021, 08:28 AM) No longer true. Especially not in the M1 optimized version of Chrome. Using more RAM is also a good thing. It's there to be used man. I see. Because I saw articles that in Feb 2021 that tested on Big Sur. Didn't notice that it was solved. |

Anyone has problem to update Microsoft Edge in Macbook Air? I do not sure is this only happen to Macbook Air or Big Sur.
When I run update for Microsoft Edge, I will never launch again after the app closed. I have to force close it to complete the process, every time. |

I was thinking to use casing for my MBA, but it decided to keep it naked because it's too sexy to cover it.
Casing also make the MBA more bulky. This post has been edited by loonsave: May 18 2021, 11:43 AM |

QUOTE(Mavik @ May 18 2021, 02:30 PM) You are right on that, but after my last disaster with some water damage (water didn't spill on the keyboard but rather someone knocked over a glass of water and it flowed through the back vents) and fall damage (someone hit the bag where the laptop was kept off the chair), I decided to get a casing for my MBA. You have your point. So it depends on whether someone willing to take the risk or not. |

QUOTE(coklatua @ May 20 2021, 07:32 PM) I just use skin. Same colour. Mind to share what skin you use?Very hard to differentiate with or without skin. As sexy as naked but still have at least scratch resistance. |

QUOTE(NotCooll @ Jul 10 2021, 02:16 PM) Hello community, I think official store not ship from Malaysia. So it will take longer time.I would like to buy my MacBook pro on Apple site. It seems like it will need about 2-3 weeks to arrive my house based on the estimated delivery date. Does it really take so long if I buy it online from there official page? No shops are opened and I need the laptop asap. Thanks sifus all. |

QUOTE(dikae @ Nov 10 2021, 02:48 PM) Weird it says up to rm520 discount but bottom small little t&c says called at rm5? This is how's their "scam marketing" work. Choose an item with the highest discount from original price and advertise it. Try to deceive consumer as usual.  langstrasse liked this post

I just came a cross a problem that VirtualBox cannot work on M1 chip when I trying to do local deployment and testing with Vagrant.
Vagrant + Docker also hassle since I can't simulate the real VM environment. If anyone need to work with x86 architecture, you might need to get the Intel based laptop. |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Feb 23 2022, 08:41 AM) Anyone here uses a Logitech bluetooth mouse with their Apple Silicon Macbook? I recently downloaded Options+ which is now Apple Silicon ready and it feels like my MX Master 3 is super smooth! Maybe its a placebo effect I would like to try it out, but it don't support M720 Triathlon yet.  https://www.logitech.com/en-my/software/log...tions-plus.html  |

My MBA quite hot after update the OS to 12.5.1. If put on my lap, I can feel the temperature after 1 hour. And I only use it for browsing and chat only.
Updated on 7 Sep: Strange that the heat gone after I reboot my Macbook. This post has been edited by loonsave: Sep 10 2022, 02:16 PM |
