QUOTE(frostbyte13 @ Dec 11 2020, 01:05 AM) No you can't. There's only 2 usb c ports with thunderbolt. Just get a mouse that connects via bluetooth. Thanks man.Usb c to hdmi. Better solution is to get thunderbolt + dock if you have lots of peripherals. I might just get the attachable one because most I want minimal dongles as possible. So that thunderbolt is USB c port? Can I just buy - USB c to HDMI cable? Or usb c to normal USB cable? |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Dec 12 2020, 08:12 AM) Hey guys. It's day 3 of me using my MBA M1 8GB/256GB. A few quirks Do you think is it worth to get 16gb ram on MBA? 1. I can't drive my 144hz monitor. It runs at 60hz. Still trying out multiple different cables. Tried terminal commands, and they all don't work, so that's annoying. If anyone has better luck, do give a shout. 2. No matter if I'm on my MBA 8GB RAM or MBP 16GB RAM, it still eats into my SSD SWAP. There's no noticeable difference in smoothness on my daily use. Some have said that because the SSDs on these Macs are so fast anyway, the computer eats into the SSD swap regardless of whether there is enough RAM or not, as contingency. 3. Opening my usual apps; - thinkorswim - safari - discord - Davinci pro - QuickTime to record my screen on both my 8gb and 16gb laptops make no difference in how it feels. It's not because the 16GB isn't smoother. It's because the 8GB isn't at all laggy with all this. While I'm also a strict single Safari page user and no more than 5 tabs, I had my sister use it and she's a multiple browser and has nearly 30 tabs open. No issues on her side with the 8GB either. If you're set on getting 16GB, because you know you'll need it, all power to you. IF you're on the fence, I think 8GB might be surprisingly sufficient if your workflow's like mine. Oh and get used to hearing "phantom" fan noises. I keep thinking I hear my MBA ramp up the fan because that's all the Intel Macs would do. But nope, no fan installed so no fan noise. I'm using for working and sometimes might open 20-30 tabs . But no gaming and etc. Mostly MS office, zoom, Skype, teams |

QUOTE(frostbyte13 @ Dec 12 2020, 12:00 AM) its a USB C head yes, but it is simply rated for thunderbolt. You probably can buy a USB C to HDMI but I am not 100% sure about the performance degrade. I am looking to get a hub anyways since its 12.12 and I need something that can bring around too for mobility purpose. Yes boss. Hub should be okay but I bought USB c to HDMI and USB c to USB A only. Because I don't use so many Accessories |

QUOTE(WHITE APPLE @ Dec 21 2020, 09:48 PM) So many forumers are actually upgrading from older generation of MBA, which are still working fine. Just curious that what did you all do to your old MBA? Anywhere in klang valley that accepts trade in? I believe everyone has a limit of tolerance for old device regardless how old it is. And of course my use have money to buy. For some ppl, can tolerate a 20 years old car even though have budget to buy a new car. But some ppl can't tolerate and change when budget allows. However if can't tolerate and no budget then still can't do anything. M1 could be the trigger point as apple fans Should have budget to change a new one. 😂😂😂 |
