[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Im going to touch you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Just bought my mom an m1 air too last month

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

it is still very powerful if your last one was an Intel Mac, like insanely faster, quieter, cooler and last all day without plugging in ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This was my first MacBook/macOS device, got it in April 2021, still works perfectly and is in use almost daily. Best laptop I've ever owned honestly. Hopefully will be usable for several more years, maybe even many more.

What's ur battery health and charge cycles at?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do I find this in battery settings? Either way I'll check when I'm able to. !remind me 2 hours

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Open spotlight search and type system report, Then under battery or power(forgot exact name) you will see your health and charge cycles.

Or best way is to install coconut battery from google, it shows detailed stuff about your battery.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

91% with 188 cycles. I usually use it daily, but not usually many hours. And I use it on battery until it needs charging. It's usually my "light tasks" machine, like browsing the web, and do online shopping lol. And the occasional gaming and video editing, but I usually use my gaming PC and consoles for that, mac is just a backup there, and it's nice when i wanna sit back with some hearthstone (probably my most played game on the mac in particular).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Its really nice health tbh considering 188 cycles, I have seen people use Aldente app and what not to preserve battery, and I have seen people with less than 50 cycles and 88-89% health.

I mean you bought a laptop use the battery LOL, why preserve it so u can use after 5 yrs 🀣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

i dont undestand lmao

I got mine in space grey with 8GB RAM and 256gb ssd

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did you buy new or re-newed? I bought M1 MacBook Air with the 8 Core GPU Chip, 16GB Ram and 512GB SSD for $809.79 from the Amazon Refurb Program in "Excellent" condition back in June. It came in essentially brand. No scratch, ding or sign of wear. It was at 86% battery health but I keep my plugged in 95% of the time anyway.

Enjoy!!! BTW Nice Color πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Enjoy it, had mine for 3 years with 16gb of ram it’s still working fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Why are you sad?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Why you crying bro? It’s a great computer. I’d say it will last another 4 years easy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

congrats! great little medium end machine that'll do more than many think. there's always an upgrade so don't worry about it if anyone says you should have got the pro or whatever. this thing will rock for many years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Great machine, I own one aswell. Enjoy!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Love … it feels so smooth

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Congratz! Enjoy it to the fullest!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Enjoy your new machine ! Despite that some may say like "M2 is better, better to take Pro model", don't listen, this is now your Mac and I know how is it to start having doubts about new purchase (happed to me as I got myself basic M3 MBP with 8 gb of ram). So be sure that YOU are the one who likes this laptop, not anyone else. Again, enjoy your new Mac !

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

good for you πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Congrats! I was super happy making the switch over. I love my M1 MBA. Now using a M2 Air with 16gb RAM and couldn't be more content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Dolby Atmos is amazing, one of major upgrade was the sound on these machines

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Speakers are amazing ❀️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I got mine a while back and it’s so worth it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Great little machine. I have one myself. Enjoy!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Got one 2 weeks ago. Changed my life coming from a 720p screen, 7th gen intel i7 and slow ssd. And it's still faster than a beefy computer that my work gave me. I use it instead of that for computational work, didnt have a hiccup till now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I got one a few months ago to learn how to code. I love it, I have a portable Asus screen which it powers through thunderbolt cable with HDMI. Can go like 6-8 hours on a full charge with dual screens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

There’s got to be better deals than this for 750+ dollars

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s looking great enjoy it mate :) I’m also on the market for either 16g M1 air or 16g M1 pro there is only 70$ difference where I live but I can’t decide πŸ˜… Btw I still use the 1st gen X1 Carbon so it’s definitely gonna be hell of a upgrade πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Trust me , I know it all to well!

From an x1 gen 5 to an m1 air is a huge jump

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this one good enough for a laptop? I alr have a powerful Pc and want something quiet and fast. Also is the 13 inch version too small?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s great, but everyone needs are different.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is battery life good? Btw is the 60Hz display too noticeable? I've been using high refresh rate displays for like a decade now and I'm a bit concerned about that one
