Refurbished vs New MacBook Air M2 in Singapore

When deciding between a refurbished MacBook Air M2 and a new one, consider these factors:

Price: Refurbished Macs are typically about 15% cheaper than new ones, making them a good choice for budget-conscious buyers.

Quality: Apple ensures that its refurbished products are as good as new. Each product undergoes a certification process for full functionality, and iOS devices receive a new outer shell and battery.

Warranty: Like new devices, all refurbished products come with a 1-year warranty.

Performance: The M2 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops available today due to its portability, battery life, and performance. However, it’s recommended to avoid the base M2 MacBook Air as it could be up to 50% slower.

Availability: The availability of refurbished Macs on Apple’s site depends on returns and replacements, so finding a specific model or configuration might be challenging.

So, a refurbished MacBook Air M2 is an excellent option if you’re okay with pre-owned products and looking to save money. However, a new one would be the better choice if you prefer brand-new products with the latest configurations. Always consider your personal needs and preferences when making your decision.

Is it worth buying a refurbished MacBook Air M2 to save $300? It depends on your personal circumstances and preferences. If you’re on a tight budget, $300 can be a significant savings. Apple’s refurbished products are thoroughly tested and certified to ensure they’re in good working condition. They also come with a new outer shell and a fresh battery. Refurbished products come with the same 1-year warranty as new products. Buying refurbished can also be more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce electronic waste. If the refurbished MacBook Air M2 has the same specifications as the new one you’re considering, you’re essentially getting the same value for less money. However, if having a brand-new product is important to you or if you have concerns about potential wear and tear from the previous owner, then buying a new one might be worth the extra cost. Ultimately, the decision should be based on what makes the most sense for your needs and comfort level.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
