MacBook Neo has a thermal protection over the chip
I did a similar copper shim mod on my MacBook Air 2019 back then, it helped with the temps a lot but it made it strictly not a “lap”top. There is a reason why there is an air gap, and it is for not literally burning you or cooking your skin.

Apple's $599 MacBook Neo Sold Out Through April 2026 Amid Surging Demand
Imo Apple has been no slouch at figuring out what consumers care about and giving it to them. Over a decade ago I bought my first Apple laptop because the MacBook Air had the best battery life on the market, and it wasn’t even close. As a bonus, it also had great build quality and was conveniently v

A billionaire and a college student have the same phone and laptop
That's about $7,400. Billionaires should get a maxed out MacBook Air though, an MBP is bulky and heavy and I can't figure out what anyone would need 128GB RAM and an 8 TB SSD for in their home laptop. If it's just about spending money, buy a golden toilet to sit on while shit posting on X. A maxed o

Come on Adam, that is not normal for a $1,999 laptop.
A MacBook Air is very thin too, and it does not do that, lol

MacBook Air's display is not that thin though. This is another level. Evidently the compromises to make it this thin might be a little too much.

Have you ever switched to a rival brand as a customer, if so, how's that going for you?
I’ll catch shit for this but going from a Windows laptop to a MacBook has been fantastic. I still have a PC I built for myself, and I still use it for gaming…. But otherwise I use my laptop for most everything else. I bought in with the MacBook Air when they first released the M1 chips in 2020 becau

Wondering if ipadpro + magic keyboard would be suitable for my needs
I used my iPad Pro M4 for about 8 months with Magic Keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Overall it did most of what I needed, I could have email, calendar, safari, pages and numbers as well as chatGPT open at the same time using sidecar. I also have the 11” nano screen version. I just bought a 15” MacBook A

Keyboard for cover band
What about a secondhand M1 MacBook Air or whatever secondhand MacBook Pro so you can keep your setup? iPad is also a possibility with Camelot

Life Hack: Dual iPhone Airs
Thanks! Yeah sometimes I think a 13” MacBook Air and an 11” or 13” iPad Pro would be the perfect bag lol But I just can’t live without that 120hz, and now I’ll never go back to glossy screens after experiencing Nano-Texture. And they wouldn’t match this well 😎

How I reduced my travel work setup to just a laptop
LOL the loud motorcycles in SEA are basically part of the remote work experience at this point 😭 MacBook Air + phone setup is elite though. Super minimal. I do recommend ANC earbuds if you don’t wanna spend AirPods money again.
