    Which top cases for the 13 inch MBA are compatible with the 2012 Model?

    I need to replace my keyboard. If I put a top case for the newer (or older) MBAs in my 2012 model, would it work?

    Possible to switch completely from Macbook to iPad Pro?

    I realised recently that all I use my 2015 MacBook Air for is syncing my Google Drive files so that I can back them up via Time Machine. I can accomplish absolutely everything else on my iPad Air. It just seems a bit silly having a MBA just for syncing files once every week or so. It got me...

    MBA now...or wait (price not specs)

    I've read what the speculated performance upgrades may be...and I'm not sure I would benefit from them. I would prefer to purchase now, but I could wait until this fall when the new model comes out. The question is, since the current model has been out so long, has it dropped any in price...

    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.

    Safari is slower

    Ever since I updated to 10.11.6 (I believe that is the current version), websites that used to run smoothly end up freezing and I have to close the tab or if I can't, manually kill the process in Activity Monitor. Needless to say, ever since I updated to Yosemite, I noticed my machine takes 5-10...

    Why I believe buying used is (usually) a bad deal.

    Hey there! Recently, there have been a number of threads asking whether or not to buy a used MacBook. They usually are along the lines of "Should I spend $$$ on this used MacBook Pro". I've spent years working with MacBooks and have done a good amount of research recently on used MacBooks and...

    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...
