Summary of the video with a focus on actionable advice & gathered insights Macbook Usage 1. Use your MacBook on a hard, flat surface to prevent overheating and damage to the device. 2. Do not sleep with your MacBook to prevent crushing it. Temperature 1. Avoid exposing your MacBook to direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent overheating and damage to the device. 2. Keep your MacBook in proper conditions, with a recommended temperature range of 10 to 35 degrees Celsius, to maintain its performance and prevent battery damage. Macbook Maintenance 1. Use your MacBook on a surface that does not collect dust to prevent overheating. 2. Regularly clean the dust from your MacBook to prevent overheating. Performance 1. Overheating can cause damage to the components of the device, such as the CPU, and decrease in performance. 2. The CPU will lower its maximum frequency when the MacBook is placed on a soft surface and overheats in order to maintain an adequate temperature range. This process is called throttling.
he's right on not falling asleep with ur Mac, take it from experience I just got my Mac back today from Apple Repair bc i crushed the corner while sleeping 💀
These are great tips. I’ve had my MacBook that I bought in 2009 and did everything I’m not supposed to do. It finally bit the dust after 13 years. I miss it. 🤦♂️ 😂
And i have my dads PowerBook G3, which he bought new in 2000, here on my desk, fully working, ok, i had to replace consumeable parts like the screen, keyboard, dvd drive and battery, but the laptop still works fine, after 22 years! If you take care of your devices, they last indeed much longer! I love old and new tech, my 2012 retina still works perfectly fine with it's original battery, it has a whopping 750 cycles, yet i still have 93 percent of it's designed capacity, getting me through a day of work when i turn the screen brightness down a bit, insane right? The oldest machine i have is my dad's old Toshiba Satellite 4300 pro from 1998! Yes, a late 90's machine still working flawlessly, it even runs for 15 minutes on the original battery! How insane is that?
It's true that we shouldn't charge any Apple device with cheap chargers. It only affects the machine. Had a battery bulge for my iPhone 7 long back and the reason was this. And from then on I started using either Apple's or Apple certified chargers. Great video. Very helpful! Thank you!
the phone doesn't just blindly allow whatever your charger spits out into your phone, it goes through a BMS that regulates the charge rate so it is suitable fior the battery, boosts or limits charge rate based on cell temperature, voltage, etc. Sometimes you just get a really bad cell and it'll prematurely swell or die. Poorly made chargers might die sooner, or have unsafe failure modes eg failing in a way that dumped AC or excessive voltages onto the circuit that goes to the iPhone, but in general, so long as they supply roughly 5V the rest is up to the BMS.
@@quickdry3 Thank you for the explanation. I said in terms of common people, including me, who have no knowledge regarding what kind of chargers to use.
I can testify that I’ve used super cheap Amazon chargers on my iPhone and iPad for 4 and 6 years respectively with no issue, the battery life on both are going strong and they perform well. I bought spare chargers so there’s always one on my desk, one by my bed and one in the living room to save carrying cables everywhere. If 98% of people will be satisfied with an apple charger, 80-90% will still be absolutely fine with budget versions but there’s definitely a higher chance of issue.
I watched a couple vids from this dude and he seems to try really hard to state very obvious facts that leaves you thinking "wtf did i just spend last 10 min of my life watching?".
@Nahid Islam Not going to say anything other than... Those who think their PC is waterproof must be pretty dim in the top-floor. ;) How the f... does a waterproof PC vent/cool it self? Most PC´s got fans to vent hot air. Ergo; not waterproof!
For number 1, it depends on your workload. My macbook barely uses its fans, so that's fine for me to use it on any surface i want without any throttling, even for hours of use Edit : if your macbook's processor is intel, forget about everything that i said
The oleohpobic coating peeling off on apple computers is ridiculous and has been happening for years. I haven´t seen any windows laptop with peeling of the coating and leaving those horrible markings on the display. And most of my friends have this on their MBPs. They should start addressing this issue asap
That is what I was wondering. Never seen this happen to windows laptops and I havetreated mine badly lol. This sounds terrible for a laptop you are paying premium price for.
on my laptop, I always try to learn how the temperatures react to different tasks. For example, I know that web browsing on my m1 max 16 doesn't make the system very hot, so I know that the fans don't turn on and for that reason I'm comfortable using it on my bed for basic tasks. However, if I know I'm going to be doing something intensive, like rendering or gaming, and know that the fans will be running, I never do it in bed, and will always put it on a flat desk surface or at the very least on my lap being mindful not to block the vents.
One thing I find very useful is placing a piece of paper between my keyboard and lid when closing the mac. In time, grease from the keyboard touches and damages the screen causing square patterns to show up which cannot be cleaned (at least they were not for me).
Do NOT do this with the new M1 or 2 airs. Many people have reported shattering screens because there is NO tolerance whatsoever between keyboards and screen because of the slim design. That’s without the paper. Just be careful.
@@redi08 Still be careful, that’s for shipping, not for using full time. Think about it. The more you open and close the laptop, the more the hinges adjust, and the more you use the keyboard the more the keys adjust based upon the pressure and wearing out of the keys. It’s not supposed to have that piece of paper except for when it is brand new and factory sealed, before any wear and tear or flexing has occurred. Once you start to use it you are trying to insert factory packaging into a machine that is slowly adjusting its shape and its fit, and it’s not designed for you to do that at all. So it might work out, until one day you go to open it and the glass shatters and falls out. It’s not worth the risk with the cost they sell it for.
When it comes to Apple accessories always go with the expensive one and trust worthy brands. This is the lesson I learned since the iPod era. There is no such thing as cheap Apple compatible accessories.
1:06 not just blocking air flow but vacuuming in all that dust lint and debris from the blanket 😊hence slowly plugging up the fans and causing massive issues down the road in a few weeks
I have 2009 & 2012 MBPs, maxed RAM and SATA SSDs in both with Linux loaded on both.. People are amazed that such old machines are still viable. I also have 2020 MBA. Tempered glass on the screen, silicone keyboard cover, color matched palm rest covers, real stone skins top and bottom and magnetic adapters in the two USBC jacks so I think this machine should a looooong time in pristine condition..
I would also recommend a good app to lock the keyboard whilst cleaning as most MacBook users know that MacBooks like powering on with the lightest touch of a key press or opening the lid.
One thing with charging almost any modern device. Don’t leave it fully charged for long periods of time. This can add multiple cycles of wear to your battery.
If you can still find a used or refurbished mid 2012 Macbook Pro 15" get that. That is the sturdiest Mac of all the Macbooks. I had mine since 2012 bought it bnew and it survived all unimaginable falls and bumps. All 4 corners of my Mac has been deformed and dented but it is still alive and kicking like new.
Some of the tips are useful, but If you struggle so much with your work tool, that means that you can’t truly afford it. Battery replacement is like $250 and I’d rather pay that twice but use and charge my laptop in the most comfortable way that suits my lifestyle
Slamming the lid close and throwing it is so true, in the macbook reddit there are so many people complaining about a cracked macbook m1 screen when closing the lid. and when they open or close the lid using the corner, it bends the very thin screen, and cracks the screen glass.
@Daniel R. Soza the case will probably be worse. Imagine pulling it from the edges and the case comes off and the whole mac drops. But, why in hell would you use the edge to open the screen WHEN THEIR IS A VERY VISIBLE AREA MDE FOR OPENING IT
There’s lovely work arounds for these including ergonomic stands. Thank you! I appreciate my keyboard cover. The thing that surprised me on an old one was that keeping it plugged in used up the battery faster so I keep the new one unplugged much more now.
Laptop common sense etiquette - The tutorial You’ll be surprised how many people LACK common sense. Even as a kid I understood to be delicate with the display. But I lost laptops from broken power sockets that were soldered to the motherboard back then. I’d always be sitting on the couch with the cable extended across the floor and people would trip ripping the cable out. One day it was the socket that got ripped loose. Not an issue today as most are NOT soldered to the board anyways, but still. RIP.
Filling your SSD is actually ok. It should have some headroom intentionally left from the manufacturer for it to work properly. However, as a general rule you should always have 10-15Gb free on your hard drive to give the OS some "breathing room". The USB hub thing isn't true either, and neither are the cables. Unless you're going for the extremely cheap Aliexpress or Wish knock-off you should be okay, your phone and your computer are equipped to deal with small voltage variations and even peaks of electric power. And the one about holding your PC with one hand while carrying it... I mean... How am I supposed to carry it then? Lol
@@rebel2809 I mean duhh! and I go to the extra mile to sometimes tuck it half inside my pants so the belt holds it tight against my body. little itchy but worth the fall security my slim mac gets
Hello, Arthur, I live in Brazil and bought an imported Macbook Air M2 from the US. Therefore, the charger's power supply came with a type A plug (with two flat pins), while here in Brazil, we use type C (two round pins). I'm using a T (an adapter) that I bought at one of those hardware stores. What do you recommend I do? I've already checked on Apple's website to see if they sell the type C plug separately, so I could just plug it in. Could the fact that I'm using a T adapter on the original power supply degrade the equipment?
Done all that with previous gens and never had any issues like you've claimed. I get people are paranoid and wanna baby it but this is a bit dramatic. These are built with amazing quality.
You can, and no it is not bad for battery. When it reaches 100% the charger would provide power equal to device's operating power, not charging battery, and it wont discharge until you unplug cable
i have a macbook pro 14 inch 2021 and I do everything you said not to , I let it charge all night and let it run out to 5-10% battery before I plug it back in , the battery health shows 100% capacity and it last the exact same time as when I got it out of the box
I already saw a lot of discussion about that on Reddit and people always say " if you are not able to take of the case and clean it once a week don't use, because it starts to accumulate dust inside the case because of the fans, and with the friction with may cause some superficial damage". But I curious about that too... Also, a lot of friends use D brand carbon skins, that keeps the MacBook aesthetic and helps a lot
How to carry the MacBook properly then? I always carry with the lid closed (closing it slow, not like in movies), but with one hand only, I pay attention to don't press it, I have a MacBook Air m1, its so lightweight that you really don't have to put any strength to hold it hahah
Exactly. I treat it like a newborn baby😂 Still worried about cracking the screen while closing and opening the lid. It feels like fragile due to its thickness.
Just a little thinking about the battery (and the way i did great since i got the 2021 16"): What about using AlDente if the battery is literally "too big" for you? Im using mainly 50-70% charge limit. Often im charging up to 80% and then use the Mac on AC/mobile mixed with a lower limit set (and let it drain to for example 30-40% over multiple days) Only about 2 times a month or when i really need/want a full charge im doing so for proper balancing of the cells here and then. Im already at 140 charging cycles with 100% battery health left (according to Mac OS, coconot battery say 99,5%). Seems like this works out especially with the incredible huge 16" models battery. What annoys me the most... with HDR used outside especially in warm enviroment... the bottom part of the screen gets HOT AF. i literally need to spin up the fans manuelly to cool the display unit when working outdoors while enjoying the bright screen. I completely understand why Apple didnt allow HDR brightness for desktop usage until MiniLED gets more efficient/less heating and it makes the app "Vivid" for unlocking HDR everywhere a bit useless for me since i still often stick to normal max brightness bcause of the heating panels issue. As fancy the XDR studio displays back looks, it has good reasons to exist for proper cooling
The screen is on these new M1 (Pro) Macs the biggest energy waster if you really enjoy it, but its too awesome to dont use it like this. Im really wondering what M2 Pro and co is bringing, hopefully apple finally switches to 1TB SSDs at least in base models and probably also 24GB (with option to 48GB and so) in base models. Like this i would regret the M1 Pro purchase a bit, but aslong 16GB Ram is enough im fine.
Not to mention that you’re not supposed to keep the battery charged over 80% unless you really need every bit of juice because you won’t be able to plug in all day…
@@battery_wattage I found this out with the Apple Pencil as well. I only ever use it once in a while, and always left it attached to my iPad over the last 3 years, and now I see that it drains very quickly when in use. Don’t store the pencil attached to the iPad. Only attach it when it needs to be charged and set it off to the side when not in use, and even better, unpair it as well…
@@HistoryNut-1701 this largely depends on if the device has a battery bypass. While I can't speak to the engineering, I have to assume that MacBooks bypass the battery when plugged in. To say that using your laptop while plugged in is bad for the battery is Very concerning, considering that many people use their laptops as a desktop replacement. Are we to suggest to these people that they should keep unplugging and replugging their MacBook to juggle the battery life between 20 and 80%? All the while, dumping charge cycle after charge cycle onto their battery? That sounds quite a bit more detrimental than just leaving it plugged in.
@@a1be31s8x9 I agree. MacBooks have a battery protocol built into them that recognizes when they are being used in that fashion and limits the charge to 80% unless you override it. In my case, I use a big iPad Pro with the proprietary keyboard and trackpad as my primary computer, and it does not have that protocol, so I am iffy on whether or not to keep it plugged in all the time, because I do not want to degrade the battery chemistry by keeping it at maximum charge all the time.
The smoking tip is spot on. Yes, I’m a smoker, but not tobacco ;) Definitely there was a “film” of residue much like cigarette tar over my fans and other components. Easy to clean using ISO and some down time, many Q tips… My uncle’s air conditioner was broken one day, and the technician knew exactly why - filter and condenser was caked in tar. I think a solution for this would be an air filter / purifier. Not too expensive, pretty quiet and really helps get rid of stinky air in a room. Although, as a smoker, filters would need to be replaced every 6 months at least, I imagine.
So what is the best way to clean the dust out of the fan if I am not a 'techy' kind of person? Is it easy to open the back up without destroying anything and do you spray the dust with a spray can or do you use a vacuum to clean it out? Can you vacuum the side ports if not opened up? Thank you in advance!
My god....i was really close to buying a Macbook but then start to watch all these videos I realise: are Macbook really that weak? I have an acer gaming laptop and i definitely did almost every thing you say not to do in this video and it's still a beast without problem. CPU temp max 50 degree with definitely high CPU usage :D I guess gaming laptops are still a better option in 2023
i’ve really noticed that he’s very negative about everything he talks about. I wouldn’t always take his content to heart & take everything he says with a gain of salt.
damn man you just made me scared of doing anything with the laptop I bought... no carrying no using on the bed or in the lap (even though it's a lap-top but still not for the lap) don't drink anything don't have anything dirty around it, don't have food around it don't have drinks around it... So basically leave it at your desk which is being cleaned every week an don't have anything around it. Oh and if you thought you can use it in a caffee shop better not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All in all good video man.
I've owned my 13" MacBook Pro M1since 2021, and my battery health is at 93% and I'm sad about it lol, I feel like that's too much depletion for only two years of owning it. No smoke around my computer, and I keep it on a little lap desk that has a hard service. However the charger is plugged into a little power strip underneath my bed, so I wonder if that effects my computer's battery???
So whats the best way to carry it with one hand and what can I use if I don't sit at desk and like to have macbook sitting on my bed while playing games on my Xbox.
It doesn't matter what kind of surface the Macbook is on. The fans take in air that is then pushed through the internals. It will pull dust from the air and through your MB. This is how every computer works. Most modern desktops (especially gaming rigs) are set up like cabinets that can be opened and air dusted. Macbooks don't have this, and thus will experience throttling within their lifetimes more often. These are not designed to be end user serviceable. If you have an issue, take it to a store. That comes with the territory of owning an Apple Laptop.
Macbook Air cools down by using its metal body, if you place it on a soft surface you might trap the heat. So it will also throttle when placed on a soft surface
True, do not use other/3rd party charging adaptor or cables to charge your IPAD, Macbook or Iphones. Only use original Apple Charging adaptor and cable. Ive use 3rd party charging adaptor (U-Green), charging is very fast, slightly produce heat on my phone if only i use it when i charge with it. But my battery health drops to 89% just in 10months (without over-night charging or overcharge it). at the other hand, my brother are using the original Apple charging adaptor and cables, his iphone batteries health is still maintain at 96% in 10months (we bought the iphone 13pro same day). For my advise, don't use any 3rd party charging adaptor and cables if you really really want your battery to live longer. Of course there are many other way to kill your battery, but this is one of it, using 3rd party charger.
After learning the hard way about not wiping my 16' MBP screen like I'm wiping my eyeglasses and making scratches on it. I'd rather have smudges on my screen that would come off than scratches that won't. In fact, I decided to just not touch my replacement MBP screen altogether.
6:50 Omg, whenever my friend comes over he always carries my laptop like this, its so damn annoying! I tell him not to like 15 times, but he just shrugs me off and keeps doing it
Apple makes such fragile pieces of glass nowadays. My iPad 3 from 2015 still works even after being dropped in a bucket of mop water and having a cracked screen. Sure, it has dented corners and the digitizer doesn’t work, but at least it’s still alive.

Based on this video I understand that my MacBook should stay all the time in the box that came with and should be used while the box is sealed :)
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂

NEVER YOU SHOULD USE ATLEAST 10% TO 15% OF YOUR SSD STORAGE
If you use it while it is sealed it will overheat and die. You can’t turn it on.

250$ for a battery replacement is robbery, replacement ones cost under 50$.
Agreed...the costs of maintenance and replacement parts should be considered when determining if you can afford an item/product.
I needed a MBP mandatory for my college program :^) it was like holding a newborn every day lol.
While not just take care of it from the start??
Slamming the lid close and throwing it is so true, in the macbook reddit there are so many people complaining about a cracked macbook m1 screen when closing the lid. and when they open or close the lid using the corner, it bends the very thin screen, and cracks the screen glass.
Please tell me you joking, cuz I wanted to buy one 🤣
@@Ancient-Forest not joking, it happened to many people. it doesnt happen to me and never had because i open the lid from the middle. not the corner
@Daniel R. Soza the case will probably be worse. Imagine pulling it from the edges and the case comes off and the whole mac drops.
But, why in hell would you use the edge to open the screen WHEN THEIR IS A VERY VISIBLE AREA MDE FOR OPENING IT
There’s lovely work arounds for these including ergonomic stands. Thank you! I appreciate my keyboard cover. The thing that surprised me on an old one was that keeping it plugged in used up the battery faster so I keep the new one unplugged much more now.
So don't take it out of the box. Got it, thanks!
Laptop common sense etiquette - The tutorial
You’ll be surprised how many people LACK common sense. Even as a kid I understood to be delicate with the display. But I lost laptops from broken power sockets that were soldered to the motherboard back then. I’d always be sitting on the couch with the cable extended across the floor and people would trip ripping the cable out. One day it was the socket that got ripped loose. Not an issue today as most are NOT soldered to the board anyways, but still. RIP.
You common sense is not my common sense also people just want to used and enjoy their device if it break or stops working well nothing last for ever
“Remember your macbook is not a basketball”
Filling your SSD is actually ok. It should have some headroom intentionally left from the manufacturer for it to work properly. However, as a general rule you should always have 10-15Gb free on your hard drive to give the OS some "breathing room".
The USB hub thing isn't true either, and neither are the cables. Unless you're going for the extremely cheap Aliexpress or Wish knock-off you should be okay, your phone and your computer are equipped to deal with small voltage variations and even peaks of electric power.
And the one about holding your PC with one hand while carrying it... I mean... How am I supposed to carry it then? Lol
"How am I supposed to carry it then? Lol" With two hands?????
@@rebel2809 all I'm saying is that as long as you're not holding your MacBook like a gorilla you should be fine holding it with one hand
@@rebel2809 I mean duhh! and I go to the extra mile to sometimes tuck it half inside my pants so the belt holds it tight against my body. little itchy but worth the fall security my slim mac gets
Hello, Arthur, I live in Brazil and bought an imported Macbook Air M2 from the US. Therefore, the charger's power supply came with a type A plug (with two flat pins), while here in Brazil, we use type C (two round pins). I'm using a T (an adapter) that I bought at one of those hardware stores. What do you recommend I do? I've already checked on Apple's website to see if they sell the type C plug separately, so I could just plug it in. Could the fact that I'm using a T adapter on the original power supply degrade the equipment?
Done all that with previous gens and never had any issues like you've claimed. I get people are paranoid and wanna baby it but this is a bit dramatic. These are built with amazing quality.
This is so absurd, any computer should be able to withstand that simple use
Apple is really a goofy company than knows how to steal money from people
Every laptop is like this
Can I just leave my laptop plugged into a charger while I’m using it? Therefore it’s always at 100%. Is this bad for the battery?
You can, and no it is not bad for battery. When it reaches 100% the charger would provide power equal to device's operating power, not charging battery, and it wont discharge until you unplug cable
i have a macbook pro 14 inch 2021 and I do everything you said not to , I let it charge all night and let it run out to 5-10% battery before I plug it back in , the battery health shows 100% capacity and it last the exact same time as when I got it out of the box
Him: explains everything not to do to your MacBook
Also him: does all of those things while I watch in horror
I really like you.
Slamming the macbook shut looks cool in movies🤣🤣🤣🤩
good insights on how to better take care of our devices thanks!
Should I buy a screen protector for my MacBook Pro 16 or I should not
Do I need a screen protector, palm rest protective skin and a cover?
I mean I have a MacBook Air and I don’t have a desk or flat surface or any room for one so I just play on my sheets. Idk what to do 🤷♀️😕
shut it down, leave it and don't touch it!
What about using cases for the macbook? (Similar with cases for iphones?)
I have a case for the Mac and it's wonderfull saved the laptop many times
I already saw a lot of discussion about that on Reddit and people always say " if you are not able to take of the case and clean it once a week don't use, because it starts to accumulate dust inside the case because of the fans, and with the friction with may cause some superficial damage". But I curious about that too... Also, a lot of friends use D brand carbon skins, that keeps the MacBook aesthetic and helps a lot
Cases are fine, just never ever buy screen protectors or keyboard protectors cause they can damage the components badly
There's no oleophobic coating on the MacBook screens. That's an anti-reflective coating.
Hi, would you recommend updating to mac OS Ventura? How do you feel about battery life? Is that better than Monterey?
How to carry the MacBook properly then? I always carry with the lid closed (closing it slow, not like in movies), but with one hand only, I pay attention to don't press it, I have a MacBook Air m1, its so lightweight that you really don't have to put any strength to hold it hahah
Exactly. I treat it like a newborn baby😂 Still worried about cracking the screen while closing and opening the lid. It feels like fragile due to its thickness.
Just a little thinking about the battery (and the way i did great since i got the 2021 16"):
What about using AlDente if the battery is literally "too big" for you? Im using mainly 50-70% charge limit.
Often im charging up to 80% and then use the Mac on AC/mobile mixed with a lower limit set (and let it drain to for example 30-40% over multiple days)
Only about 2 times a month or when i really need/want a full charge im doing so for proper balancing of the cells here and then.
Im already at 140 charging cycles with 100% battery health left (according to Mac OS, coconot battery say 99,5%). Seems like this works out especially with the incredible huge 16" models battery.
What annoys me the most... with HDR used outside especially in warm enviroment... the bottom part of the screen gets HOT AF. i literally need to spin up the fans manuelly to cool the display unit when working outdoors while enjoying the bright screen. I completely understand why Apple didnt allow HDR brightness for desktop usage until MiniLED gets more efficient/less heating and it makes the app "Vivid" for unlocking HDR everywhere a bit useless for me since i still often stick to normal max brightness bcause of the heating panels issue. As fancy the XDR studio displays back looks, it has good reasons to exist for proper cooling
The screen is on these new M1 (Pro) Macs the biggest energy waster if you really enjoy it, but its too awesome to dont use it like this.
Im really wondering what M2 Pro and co is bringing, hopefully apple finally switches to 1TB SSDs at least in base models and probably also 24GB (with option to 48GB and so) in base models.
Like this i would regret the M1 Pro purchase a bit, but aslong 16GB Ram is enough im fine.
Not to mention that you’re not supposed to keep the battery charged over 80% unless you really need every bit of juice because you won’t be able to plug in all day…
Yes. I learned the hard way with LiPo batteries. The difference with my experience is puffing batteries. With most electronics it’s longterm wear.
@@battery_wattage I found this out with the Apple Pencil as well. I only ever use it once in a while, and always left it attached to my iPad over the last 3 years, and now I see that it drains very quickly when in use. Don’t store the pencil attached to the iPad. Only attach it when it needs to be charged and set it off to the side when not in use, and even better, unpair it as well…
@@HistoryNut-1701 this largely depends on if the device has a battery bypass. While I can't speak to the engineering, I have to assume that MacBooks bypass the battery when plugged in. To say that using your laptop while plugged in is bad for the battery is Very concerning, considering that many people use their laptops as a desktop replacement. Are we to suggest to these people that they should keep unplugging and replugging their MacBook to juggle the battery life between 20 and 80%? All the while, dumping charge cycle after charge cycle onto their battery? That sounds quite a bit more detrimental than just leaving it plugged in.
@@a1be31s8x9 I agree. MacBooks have a battery protocol built into them that recognizes when they are being used in that fashion and limits the charge to 80% unless you override it. In my case, I use a big iPad Pro with the proprietary keyboard and trackpad as my primary computer, and it does not have that protocol, so I am iffy on whether or not to keep it plugged in all the time, because I do not want to degrade the battery chemistry by keeping it at maximum charge all the time.
Unfortunately many macs just throttle speed but never actually bumps up the fan speeds..
Watching these kind of videos just before getting a Mac.
With a Lenovo you can do all these things and the laptop won’t break
Will laptop skin hurt the macbook air m2?
Conclusion: leave the macbook in the box sealed forever
What a video to get in my recommended the day I ordered a MacBook
Si how do I clean the screen and not mess up the coating 🤔?
Sir should i use hardshell case on macbook or not.
The smoking tip is spot on. Yes, I’m a smoker, but not tobacco ;)
Definitely there was a “film” of residue much like cigarette tar over my fans and other components. Easy to clean using ISO and some down time, many Q tips…
My uncle’s air conditioner was broken one day, and the technician knew exactly why - filter and condenser was caked in tar.
I think a solution for this would be an air filter / purifier. Not too expensive, pretty quiet and really helps get rid of stinky air in a room. Although, as a smoker, filters would need to be replaced every 6 months at least, I imagine.
Very informative, concise information.
Literally anything happens
Macbook: muh overheating
m2 pro screen protector use or not?
I hollered when you brought in the disco ball
What are the few brands of the multi-ports and cables you spoke of that are safe to use?
Don’t pick up your macbook from screen proceeds to pick a 16 inch 2021 macbook pro from screen 😐😵💫
Thanks a lot. I got a macbook almost 8 months ago, and I have been making a few of these mistakes. Hopefully not much damage has not been done.
The battery part seems unavoidable unless you only use your MacBook plugged in? If only they made the battery more easily replaceable...
So, what IS an acceptable product and procedure for cleaning the screen of my MacBook Air M1?
So what is the best way to clean the dust out of the fan if I am not a 'techy' kind of person? Is it easy to open the back up without destroying anything and do you spray the dust with a spray can or do you use a vacuum to clean it out? Can you vacuum the side ports if not opened up? Thank you in advance!
If your aren't techy, you should be paying someone that is ^ ^
I used all my macbooks for almost a decade in clubs with smoke and haze....and i mean "the Fog Movie like haze"....never had any issues
My god....i was really close to buying a Macbook but then start to watch all these videos I realise: are Macbook really that weak? I have an acer gaming laptop and i definitely did almost every thing you say not to do in this video and it's still a beast without problem. CPU temp max 50 degree with definitely high CPU usage :D
I guess gaming laptops are still a better option in 2023
i’ve really noticed that he’s very negative about everything he talks about. I wouldn’t always take his content to heart & take everything he says with a gain of salt.
is it a better to buy a hard case for macbook air🤔?
me watching this very carefully even though i dont have an macbook.
Same 😂😂😂
can i place books under my macbook to make it not overheat
Loving the Groot plant..lol
Love the content!!
damn man you just made me scared of doing anything with the laptop I bought... no carrying no using on the bed or in the lap (even though it's a lap-top but still not for the lap) don't drink anything don't have anything dirty around it, don't have food around it don't have drinks around it... So basically leave it at your desk which is being cleaned every week an don't have anything around it. Oh and if you thought you can use it in a caffee shop better not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All in all good video man.
Can i put a screen protector on my macbook Air m2...is it safe? Can anyone tell
“… and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.” That’s why I’m watching.
I've owned my 13" MacBook Pro M1since 2021, and my battery health is at 93% and I'm sad about it lol, I feel like that's too much depletion for only two years of owning it. No smoke around my computer, and I keep it on a little lap desk that has a hard service. However the charger is plugged into a little power strip underneath my bed, so I wonder if that effects my computer's battery???
MacBook Air users be like: ventilation what's that can you explain it to me?
watching it with my 10 years old MacBook pro and makes me realize what kinds of mistakes I have been done,,,
Don't drink coffee close to your MacBook? The most unrealistic expectation I've ever heard.
It’s funny , I’ve been doing all these ‘bad’ things to my MacBook yet it’s still going strong after 13 years 😂
my 2019 macbook air lasted 3 years before getting a garbage display.
i guess the older macbooks are way more durable
Will the 1st one effect MacBook Air M2. Update= Just figured out.
Idea for a drinking game: shot if he says overheating 😂
Does 65w charger safe for M1 MacBook Air?
So whats the best way to carry it with one hand and what can I use if I don't sit at desk and like to have macbook sitting on my bed while playing games on my Xbox.
It doesn't matter what kind of surface the Macbook is on. The fans take in air that is then pushed through the internals. It will pull dust from the air and through your MB. This is how every computer works. Most modern desktops (especially gaming rigs) are set up like cabinets that can be opened and air dusted. Macbooks don't have this, and thus will experience throttling within their lifetimes more often. These are not designed to be end user serviceable. If you have an issue, take it to a store. That comes with the territory of owning an Apple Laptop.
Macbook Air cools down by using its metal body, if you place it on a soft surface you might trap the heat. So it will also throttle when placed on a soft surface
How can I speed this up? When my mac dies, I get to get a real computer. (Windows or Linux)
I have always left my laptops plugged in 24/7 and have got 6 years out of the oem battery
Hey, which usb dock to buy for MacBook Pro m3 pro?
I have Mac Pro M1 2020, thanks for the tips 🤘
Props to him for possibly ruining his own Macbook to teach us not to break ours, thanks!
Thanks for the advice & tips!
True, do not use other/3rd party charging adaptor or cables to charge your IPAD, Macbook or Iphones.
Only use original Apple Charging adaptor and cable.
Ive use 3rd party charging adaptor (U-Green), charging is very fast, slightly produce heat on my phone if only i use it when i charge with it.
But my battery health drops to 89% just in 10months (without over-night charging or overcharge it).
at the other hand, my brother are using the original Apple charging adaptor and cables, his iphone batteries health is still maintain at 96% in 10months (we bought the iphone 13pro same day).
For my advise, don't use any 3rd party charging adaptor and cables if you really really want your battery to live longer.
Of course there are many other way to kill your battery, but this is one of it, using 3rd party charger.
It is applied not only for MacBook, but for any laptop.
After learning the hard way about not wiping my 16' MBP screen like I'm wiping my eyeglasses and making scratches on it. I'd rather have smudges on my screen that would come off than scratches that won't. In fact, I decided to just not touch my replacement MBP screen altogether.
I have done many of this things to my mid-2014 MacBook lol, shes fine
Let’s just not buy a MacBook and then my imaginary MacBook will last forever
0:41 I don't know anyone who uses their laptop like that😂
this sounds silly but i cant use any device wothout a screen protector as I HATE scratches - Are there any decent screen protectors out there!!?
6:50
Omg, whenever my friend comes over he always carries my laptop like this, its so damn annoying! I tell him not to like 15 times, but he just shrugs me off and keeps doing it
Apple makes such fragile pieces of glass nowadays. My iPad 3 from 2015 still works even after being dropped in a bucket of mop water and having a cracked screen. Sure, it has dented corners and the digitizer doesn’t work, but at least it’s still alive.
Is it possible to stop mi macbook pro m1 pro 2021 to start up when opening the lid ? Thanks !
