QUOTE(Jeebuy @ Jul 31 2022, 09:53 AM) Anyone who bought the new M2 MBA who upgraded from the M1 MBA? Iām considering to buy one but not sure which one to get. I will use it for word processing and doing researches mostly. If u need extremely more power just go for 14-inch based model. |

QUOTE(jimchan @ Sep 17 2022, 09:40 AM) I didn't get any case because someone told me that if you use a casing to cover your MacBook, it might affect the cooling and it might get more heated. I'm not really sure since I didn't get a casing to try it myself Yeah. Agreed. Indeed casing is totally not needed for MacBook. Sleeve is really a better option on the go. I got myself a Razer sleeve to cover it only when I'm on the move |

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Nov 20 2022, 08:41 PM) depend on your budget. one 5k, one 4k. my 2017 mbp still running fine and cannot find any reason to change. Ventura update still supported. I just wait for next year M3 model same. also on 2017 MBP 4 thunderbolt. MBA m2 base model has slower ssd speed. so u will end up upgrade till almost 6k. MBA has lesser port compare to MBP. no reason to change also... seriously unless weight is a concern. 14-inch MBP based model is a better with 512gb ssd + 16gb ram. |

QUOTE(tradingGo @ Nov 20 2022, 10:12 PM) My MBP has that flashing/flickering touch bar issue which can't be solved unless I pay 2k to change the keyboard. i dun have touch bar issue, and i do not have keyboard issues. i had changed a total of 2 times keyboard using the program but not becos of keyboard issue but due to battery bloated. so it is considered very worth it since the two times replacement is free. the battery and keyboard are together, so replacing battery also replacing the keyboard.I would have been eligible for the keyboard service program had I not dropped the laptop and voided that warranty.  The other reason is I need to lower my taxable income. if not becos of the keyboard program, i need to pay the 2 x fee for battery replacement. i only have a screen flickering issue but after i reflash the macOS at apple back to the original version, it is fixed. |

macbook air only comes with 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter. comparing to my 2017 MBP 4TB ports which is 61W. isn't it too slow?
