    2017 MBA compatible with using 2012 monitor as an additional screen?

    Hello All, I hope someone can advise/reassure me please? As I am almost entirely technologically inept. I'm going self-employed (PR and copywriting) and I'm thinking a MacBook Air 2017 would best suit my needs at the moment. My plan - such as it is - is to hook it up to the old iMac I already...

    No warranty on Air with broken hinge. How much for a repair?

    I have a Mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the hinge is broken, meaning that it will fall almost flat with the keyboard. Also, whenever I adjust it, the hinge makes alarming sounds :eek:. I'm guessing that this was probably caused by longterm stress on the hinge throughout the almost 4-years I have...

    Best SD card to expand memory?

    I have a Macbook Air 13'' with a 128GB SSD. I need to save up some memory for the daily works. I realize that moving the iTunes Library (~/Music/iTunes) to an external drive would be a nice way to save up more or less 20 GB... I was thinking about buying a micro SD card/SD card. This one has to...
