Years ago, I bought a late 2013 iMac. A few years later, I bought an early 2015 Macbook Air. I found that the Macbook Air quickly performed worse than the iMac, as the startup time and processing time was far more unbearable. The Geekbench Score I ran for the iMac earlier this year was 777 -...

Hey guys, I have a 2018 MacBook Air, Retina, 256GB. Sucks, because of the butterfly keyboard, and the CPU is notoriously slow, too. Here's the question, what do you guys think of the following? I want to sell my current Macbook and get a 1TB external hard drive instead, where I can keep all of...

Sorry for the explanation being so long. Ok so I was drinking some water and somehow I chocked on it so I spilled some water on my MacBook Air trackpad/touchpad (I’m not sure what it’s called and what the difference is) and keyboard, and now it’s acting weird. My screen turns on and off like...

Hello, I bought a Mac Book Air back in 2013. Then I bought a Blue Yeti in 2014 and Camtasia 2 for Mac. Everything worked well for a while. In 2015, I started hearing some whine /static noise. I bought another Blue Yeti in 2016 but had the same problem. I then told myself that my Mac was the...
