My 2011 MBA magsafe won't charge my drat laptop. It usually takes a while, if I'm lucky, to turn green. Is this a sign from the apple gods to buy a rMBP?

Residency Evil posted:So I've been plugging along with a 2011 MBA for general work/surfing. I was thinking of replacing it this year with a new 13 rmbp. Sounds like I might as well hold off for another year? Mid 2011 13" MBA here. I'm going to wait until next year for the Kaby Lake update. Also, never buy 1st gen of a new Apple product. Always some kinks.

I'm going to ride my 2011 13in MBA until the 14in MiniLED are out. Wish me luck. I only had to replaced my logic board and battery pack once.

gregday posted:Considering the MagSafe isn’t really a new adapter but more a USB-C cable with MagSafe on one end, anyone know if these machines can still charge with the TB ports? Yes, they mentioned it in the presentation.

I always thought people were disgusting pigs when I had to handle a MacBook with its screen off. To be honest, get yourself one of these: https://www.radtech.com/products/screensavrz-macbook-pro-keyboard-cover I had for my Macbook Air and the keyboard and screen never got filthy. They don't have one yet for the new MBP though.

The polishing cloth is backordered for 2-3 months. You guys aren't allowed to use your new Macs yet.

Apple Card seems to be offering 6% cashback on Apple Store purchases now. RIP you early preorder people.

Last Chance posted:Does Apple charge for a product immediately upon preorder or when the product ships? Charge when ships. I think some people are seeing it made retro. Check the charge on your app.

Word on Reddit is that the 6% was a glitch.

Hopefully I have reason to upgrade my 2011 13 inch MBA now.

the base 14mbp definitely seems crippled as in tradition. 8gb of ram? lol

As much as I would like the space black, I'm probably doing the base 14 with 16gb of ram. I don't need all that power honestly. I would have taken a macbook air if they offered m3 on them.

I just want to say coming from a mid 2011 base MBA 13 to the base M3 Pro 14 is amazing. It's like night and day in terms of speed, screen quality and battery life.

Eletriarnation posted:I think it's a testament to the efficiency of macOS and how good it looks that you were OK with using a machine from 2011 with a 720p screen (and 2GB RAM?) up to this point. I had 4gb of ram and I did a battery swap maybe 4-5 years ago? I only did it cause I was given a defunct MBA, so I salvaged the battery. But yea, my old mba is still fuctional but it was time for an upgrade.

This is pretty interesting. Wal-Mart is selling a brand new M1 MBA for relatively cheap. Probably going after those Pavilion and Inspiron consumers. https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/03/15/walmart-brings-the-popular-macbook-air-with-the-m1-chip-to-its-shelves

I think most modern day electronics are well built to avoid necessitating a grounding plug but idk at the end of the day. Could it be your surge protector giving issues? I believe some electric currents are "dirty" in the sense that they could affect other nearby devices with their fluctuations in current. I use an isolating surge protector for all of my devices. ISOBAR or PANAMAX are my go to.
