I have decide to just keep my macbook in the box

@MuhammadHassan-tn9xm 2 ай бұрын

I already have for almost 6 months :)

@j0shll0yd 2 ай бұрын

I hear that can cause damage due to slow delamination of the box & disintegration of the plastic inside the box; which eventually finds its way into the ports of the MacBook. Once inside, it eats away at the circuit boards & attaches itself to the fan; which leads to overheating & self-destruction the first time you start it up.

@floodtheinbox Жыл бұрын

the setting in the battery menu, Optimized Battery Charging, will stop your macbook charging at 80% until you tell it to fully charge it, and when it reaches 80 the laptop switches to AC power only. when you're using your macbook as your primary computer at a desk, this will help the battery last a lot longer over time.

I really don't think Macs, now that we are in 2023, will overcharge. Ive seen for myself that when your Mac hits 100% charge, it actually stops charging and uses power from Its adapter. This can be proved by going to the system report (Ventura) and under power It will say charging: no, and also I've seen it discharge if it needs to down to 90%.

@DM-sc4zy Жыл бұрын

Then when it drops a tad below 100% it will start charging again, keeping the charging level at 100% is not a good idea and will be detrimental to battery longevity. use Al dente to set the charging limit to 50% if you use it like a desktop.

Silver is the only option in which what you see see is the actual color of the material, aluminum. All the other colors are covering the aluminum, including starlight. That's why, if you scratch them, even if it's just by using the ports, you'll always see silver/aluminum under. Summing up, in the long term, the safest choice is Silver.

@jorditordera 5 ай бұрын

@@Universal-ID Always happy to help! I am person who really loves to take care of his devices, like if it they were a newborn baby. The moment I take them out of the box, before I even turn them on for the first time, I put protection cases on them. I keep them clean, and use micro-fiber clothes to keep them clean and free from dust. I am telling you all this so you know how much I take care of them. Normally, all the MacBooks I have owned, have lasted me about 8 to 10 years. I understand that newer colors look cooler and might bring and added value, but I think that this added value might disappear if the color wears off with time, just by making regular use of the ports or by resting the palms of your hands. And one last piece of advice: again, Apple products are expensive, but they can last a long time, so, unless you are on a really tight budget, I strongly recommend you that you get the latest model available at the time of purchase. This ensures that you will be able to use the latest MacOS for a longer number of years. Also, as you know, Macs cannot be upgraded once you get them. So, again, as long as you can afford it, try to get as much RAM and Storage as possible. You might not need it now, but, again, in the long term, you will be thankful for that investment on extra storage and RAM. My personal recommendation: 16GB of RAM and, at least 512 GB of storage (ideally 1 TB). Summing up, if I were you I would get an M3 MacBook Air, with 16GB of RAM and 512 to 1 TB of storage. Hope this helped...

My wife just got her first MBA. My sense is that plugging the laptop into a charger is not the same as charging the battery because the so-called charger is just a variable power supply and the actual charging circuit is inside the laptop. So set it up to Optimal Power Charging if you can afford the shorter battery life in your use case and let the machine cycle between 20% and 80% of battery charge which seems to be friendliest to the battery chemistry. As recommended by Li-Ion battery manufacturers and EV car manufacturers! P.S.: Back in the day, I used IBM Thinkpads with removable batteries in a primarily desktop use case. I used to physically disconnect the battery unless needed and the battery capacity was still super high years later.

So much conflicting advice on if you should leave the charger in. Some videos say you should leave in the charger to slow down your power cycles. Equally as many videos say you should plug out your charger to keep your battery active. Which method do I pick? :/ From personal experience with my old ASUS laptop, I leave my charger in all the time. After about 6-8 years of use, my total battery life is extremely poor at around 1 hour 45 minutes. However, my battery life wasn't very high to begin with. According the ChatGPT, my battery life should be around 5 hours. Also, I checked my charge cycles. Seems I have only used a bit over 300 charge cycles. So even my own experience is giving me a contradicting solution. From my experience, it seems that leaving my charger in all the time has resulted in me having used much less charge cycles than expected, but also having much less battery health than I would expect to have after using that number of charge cycles.
