He’s the kind of guy who buys something and never even removes the protective packaging. I saw someone like this who bought a new TV remote and insisted on using it with the plastic wrapper still on…
Don't listen to that guy. I got the midnight color and it's really awesome! Sure, you can see the fingerprints, but who are you trying to impress? Just wipe it every once in a while and you are fine. If you like the color, get the color.
It’s a machine. It’s supposed to do what I ask of it. I’m the the master! This video makes it look like I’m a slave to the MacBook. Nah people do whatever you want with the MacBook, it’ll hold up Take it from a guy who’s using a MacBook Pro m1max
This guy knows nothing 1. If you keep it charging forever the battery charge icon changes to a plug icon indicating that it is only using wall power and the battery isn’t being charged 2. Use any usb hub it honestly doesn’t matter unless it has spyware on it or something. You don’t have to be too careful using a MacBook and use like every other laptop 👍

I have a midnight MacBook Air m2. I was apprehensive at first about the color but I couldn’t get myself to get the boring silver and I’m glad I didn’t. The midnight does get fingerprints like mad, but I think it creates a sort of petina on the computer that makes it unique. As for scratches, I have had zero problems.

OKAY, I was staying away from Midnight Blue because I knew about the fingerprint thing. BUT SPACE GREY? DOES IT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? I ALREADY PLACED MY ORDER AND IT'S ON THE WAY. SHOULD I FEEL BAD FOR LEARNING ABOUT THIS NOW?
I have had my midnight blue macbook for a while now and I have experienced some fingerprints which can easily be wiped away with a microfiber cloth but I have not experienced any discoloration on the palm rests
so what is the real way to protect it? I spent almost 4000€ on my macbook 16 m2 and the keyboard is really terrible it gets greasy all the time, some keys after less than a month were already ruined, I have manic care and yet I don't know how to protect it... what do you recommend? Thank u!
Ive been using silicone keyboard cover since 2019 macbook pro and haven't got a single problem, the screen does get a little dust mark but just wipe it off with microfiber, so yeah no permanent screen damage at all.
the certified chargers are a must because the after market ones can actually catch fire, it nearly happened to my sister's one, she bought a used macbook and the seller gave an after market charger and it got so hot when charging that there was a smell of burning plastic, the hard case & silicone keyboard placements are also legitimate because the hard cases put pressure on the screen and unless you remove the silicone keyboard placement before you close the screen it could leave imprints in the screen or cause the screen to damage with lines down the screen eventually which also happens if you use a webcam cover and keep it attached when you close the macbook
I'm having a Space Gray MBP. I'm using it gentle and carry it in my backpack in laptop compartment. It's always clean and has no scratches! So I can disagree with the author.
I don’t think you are using a space grey MacBook. It’s as durable as a tank. 3+ years now using it daily, nothing happened to the color. Silver is boring too. Although I agree with rest of the tips! Thanks
1. How would you protect it without a case? (I dj outdoors and have to protect it), got the space black haha… now I see what you mean. With fingerprints. 2. What do you mean cautious with fast charging? I left my charger at home yesterday and had a spontaneous gig, they had a 140w fast charger. Mine is m3 14”. I read on Apple that it’s compatible.. so used it. But I do have bad experience with charging my old MacBook with a 16” charger that killed the battery…. So.. I really checked well. But seems ok from Apple. Why did you mention that?
Listen I suggest getting whatever colour you want I have midnight and i still love the colour the fingerprints and scratches arent seen as much as ppl describe it as I personally suggest midnight i nearly accidentally got silver and im just grateful i didnt get silver
My M1 Air has 128 charge cycles and it's at 95% charge. I often use an Anker 12W brick to charge it and basically keep it between 40-75% charge while working on it
I used my MacBook like what it is - a tool. I did software engineering on it for 6 years. Plugged it in and used it in clamshell mode for 7 years. Sure, the battery has swollen now , but it doesn’t need to be baby sat.
as someone who used a mac for 10+ years and is now a windows user, it was the best decision of my life. Nothing matters brother. Stop treating stuff like a baby
I’ve had my MacBook Air 2020 M1 for 4 years now and did everything in this video. My macbook is at 87% battery health and is in perfect condition. No need to worry about your MacBooks. Just use it like you want!! I feel like these videos are for tech collectors who want to keep their devices prestige for displaying it after upgrading.
Some good advice and some not so much. Space Gray is fine. I have one and it doesn't have any scratches after 1 and half year of use. My suggestion would be to wipe your Macs as less as you can. When you want to clean it a bit, wipe it with a wet microfibre cloth and wipe it dry with another dry microfibre cloth immediately. Once a month is enough. Don't use any products like display cleaning sprays or something like that. Few drops of water is fine. Don't worry about dust under the keycaps. Key caps can be opened and cleaned. Don't use screen protectors. Don't worry about your battery too much. Apple has taken care of it. Enjoy your machine.
Me over here with my MBP that is about 3 years past not getting updates anymore, never gets shut down, still getting a full day of battery on a charge, and having no discoloration or scratches after 8 years: skill issue.
The issue of the silver model is that it is not midnight blue
Just buy a full coverage costum skins, can be any color you want. Adds a protective layer to the surface coating too
