Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to say thank you to all of you who took the time to try and help me out. I really appreciate all the great information, and thoughts. It has really helped me to understand things, when it comes to Macbooks. Karen asked if I would like to explain

Hi Terri, May I ask how you define doing lots of audio recording? It seems important here, because you will want the hardware to support your needs. The programs you use have their own requirements. If you use external recording related equipment, that will matter as well. I hope? this offer

Hi! You could install linux onto it if you like. But I understand you. I did a similar check with my MacBook Air from 2015 and was offered 300$ for it. /A > 21 aug. 2021 kl. 18:46 skrev 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > : > > Especially since you want it for recording. > > I can tell you

Hi Terri, I think you have received excellent advice and recommendations here. While I agree with not purchasing that particular unit, I think you are wise to look for a Mac while not spending as much as you would on a new unit. There is certainly something to be said for evaluating the Mac, as

Especially since you want it for recording. I can tell you about my 2014 era 11 inch Airbook. I have 8 gigs RAM and 512 Gb HD. I checked what Apple would give me for it as a trade in when I bought a Mac Mini last year. They offered me $160. I didn't take the $160, so I still have it. It's on it's

I apologize for being part of the confusion here. I can’t keep up with all the mac models and didn’t realize that the Pro line still had Intel chips. However, the technical details are not what is important here. The important thing here is to consider why a person wants a Mac and what they

Hi Brad, Yes, you are correct. I apologize if my note came across as a correction to you. The original response stated information about both the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro lines. I was just trying to clarify that your information was correct, but in addition, the information regarding

Hi, To be a little picky here, this is just “mostly" correct. The MacBook Pro line does have Intel and M1 models. I am actually writing this note on an M1 MacBook Pro, and if you look in the Apple Store on-line, you’ll see that they are also available with I5 and I7 Intel processors. I

Tery, Youmight be able to get something from apple that is closer to want. Apple sometimes has refurbished devices on the apple store with better ram and storage as well as a more mother and could still get at least a couple of updates at least. HTH. Matthew > On Aug 20, 2021, at 8:36

This is correct. New MacBook Airs from Apple are available only with the new M1 processor. Intel MacBook Airs may be available from the refurbished store on Apple.com , or from third party retailers. - Brad - On Aug 21, 2021, at 00:02, wrote: As I understand it the Mac

Because, these are the minimum specs currently available from Apple. Also, I have had a MacBook Air 2013, with 4 GB RAM and 128 SSD HD. While you can get by with only 4 GB of RAM, the 128 GB SSD is too small and will quickly fill with apps and data, leaving no wiggle room for updating, or
