    No Wi-Fi when Bluetooth is on?

    Hi all, I have a Macbook Air from 2014, and most of the time I do not have wi-fi, while using my Magic Mouse, or if Bluetooth is on. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off, everything loads quickly. Otherwise, it just tells me that Safari couldn't connect to the server. (Had similar issues with...

    My girlfriend has a macbook air (specs below) that she is intent on selling, but unfortunately she bought it second-hand without any of the usual resources to re-install the OS.

    Why is a MacBook Air better?

    Hi! I am going to college soon, and I'm thinking about getting a MacBook Air. I've been a MacBook user for over four years now, and — coming from Windows — I automatically went for the Pro back then because I thought the Air would just be a horrible laptop with those specs. Last year, I decided...

    i7 upgrade for 2015 13" MacBook Air

    I'm getting the 2015 13" MacBook with 8GB RAM, 128 GB storage. But I'm still not sure whether I should get the i5 (1,6 GHz) or the i7 (2,2 GHz) processor. 99% of the time, I will use it for browsing the Internet, doing school stuff (Pages and Keynote) watching movies, so I think the i5 would...
