QUOTE(Townshend @ Jan 24 2014, 05:45 PM) Hi, I see, thanks for your information and afford. Because I thought Mac Air can last even longer and my battery life cycle 2++ For a 2011, A1370 EMC 2471 (11-inch) MBA, that sounds pretty normal. Plus, the 2011 model is almost three years. The battery life for a 11" MBA (2011) : Up to 5 hours wireless web Up to 30 days standby time http://support.apple.com/kb/sp631   In other words, even though i send to repair or replace my Air it won't able to last longer? |

QUOTE(Townshend @ Jan 24 2014, 06:12 PM) 2011 MBA (11-inch) is designed to last up to 5 hours. Oh my god, what a bad news could break my heart. Thanks for telling.You can replace your battery if it only lasts like 2-3 hours. The newer 2013 MBA model has longer battery life though. Up to 9 hours for 11-inch model and 12-hours for 13-inch model. Even longer on Mavericks, which is almost 16 hours. I am surviving for screen replacement. Since my Air's screen has cracked. However, I've got some information about this. one of the Apple specialist quotes me 1190 and one that I found on internet only 900 but he said there might be minor uneven, dust or scratch after replace. Is this normal to screen replace? |

QUOTE(Townshend @ Jan 24 2014, 08:00 PM) Based on what I read, 1K+ for MBA screen replacement seems normal to me. I see, thanks for answer  because yesterday I actually did call to machine and the staff told me the price will be about 1500-2000. It's really scared me. Lol |

QUOTE(Townshend @ Jan 25 2014, 12:21 PM) IMO, if it is 2K, you better buy a new MBA, plus you will get a better battery life on it too. Yup, you are right. Actually, why is the repair price is so over for Apple? Repairing Macs can be expensive and FYI, replacing battery on your current MBA will cost you around MYR 500+, IIRC.  May I know, what application are you using to protect your Mac? Beside this, due to the needs. I am thinking of install Microsoft Office on MacBook, but some of the people told me this might slow down the MacBook. Is this true? I tried to search on internet but answer supporting both side yes and no. |

QUOTE(Townshend @ Jan 26 2014, 01:47 PM) Apple products are premium products after all, maybe that's why. Plus it's not a common laptop, so not many shops can find the parts and have the skills to do the repair for you. Alright, I got really enough of information from you For protection, right now, I only use avast! on my Mac, that's all. As for Microsoft Office on OS X, I don't experience any slow down on my system (I have MS Office 2011 installed).  Thanks for you sharing your knowledge. |
