I hear that can cause damage due to slow delamination of the box & disintegration of the plastic inside the box; which eventually finds its way into the ports of the MacBook. Once inside, it eats away at the circuit boards & attaches itself to the fan; which leads to overheating & self-destruction the first time you start it up.
the setting in the battery menu, Optimized Battery Charging, will stop your macbook charging at 80% until you tell it to fully charge it, and when it reaches 80 the laptop switches to AC power only. when you're using your macbook as your primary computer at a desk, this will help the battery last a lot longer over time.
1. Always use a case just like every phone. 2. Battery never drop below 50%. 3. Always charge until 80% Max. 4. Clean your MacBook always. 5. Not using it.
oh yeah lets cheapen a beautiful aluminum macbook by throwing on a plastic case and gel skin keyboard cover...idiots i swear..and no its not the same as using a case for your iphone, a iphone is not used like a laptop.
I really don't think Macs, now that we are in 2023, will overcharge. Ive seen for myself that when your Mac hits 100% charge, it actually stops charging and uses power from Its adapter. This can be proved by going to the system report (Ventura) and under power It will say charging: no, and also I've seen it discharge if it needs to down to 90%.
Then when it drops a tad below 100% it will start charging again, keeping the charging level at 100% is not a good idea and will be detrimental to battery longevity. use Al dente to set the charging limit to 50% if you use it like a desktop.

Silver is the only option in which what you see see is the actual color of the material, aluminum. All the other colors are covering the aluminum, including starlight. That's why, if you scratch them, even if it's just by using the ports, you'll always see silver/aluminum under. Summing up, in the long term, the safest choice is Silver.
@@Universal-ID Among the non-silver colors, Gold would be the closest to silver and therefore would the one that best stands the test of time. However, it is still a color additionally painted over the aluminum, so I guess that it would eventually wear off too.
@@jorditordera Bro thanks for the response...I am thinking of buying a MacBook Air M1 in 2024 like end of June (India)... I'm in a dilemma in term of colour Gold is the most good looking colour among the three in MacBook Air M1 (Gold, Sliver & Space grey) but as a long term perspective which one should I get space grey is out because the owner of the video said it's not worth it sliver is good but it's the most common colour in MacBooks...what's your thought on this???
@@Universal-ID Always happy to help! I am person who really loves to take care of his devices, like if it they were a newborn baby. The moment I take them out of the box, before I even turn them on for the first time, I put protection cases on them. I keep them clean, and use micro-fiber clothes to keep them clean and free from dust. I am telling you all this so you know how much I take care of them. Normally, all the MacBooks I have owned, have lasted me about 8 to 10 years. I understand that newer colors look cooler and might bring and added value, but I think that this added value might disappear if the color wears off with time, just by making regular use of the ports or by resting the palms of your hands. And one last piece of advice: again, Apple products are expensive, but they can last a long time, so, unless you are on a really tight budget, I strongly recommend you that you get the latest model available at the time of purchase. This ensures that you will be able to use the latest MacOS for a longer number of years. Also, as you know, Macs cannot be upgraded once you get them. So, again, as long as you can afford it, try to get as much RAM and Storage as possible. You might not need it now, but, again, in the long term, you will be thankful for that investment on extra storage and RAM. My personal recommendation: 16GB of RAM and, at least 512 GB of storage (ideally 1 TB). Summing up, if I were you I would get an M3 MacBook Air, with 16GB of RAM and 512 to 1 TB of storage. Hope this helped...
My macbook is connected to a monitor through USB-C cable which is also a charger, so technically it's being charged 24/7. No issues at all and I've been using it for over 2 years like that.
My wife just got her first MBA. My sense is that plugging the laptop into a charger is not the same as charging the battery because the so-called charger is just a variable power supply and the actual charging circuit is inside the laptop. So set it up to Optimal Power Charging if you can afford the shorter battery life in your use case and let the machine cycle between 20% and 80% of battery charge which seems to be friendliest to the battery chemistry. As recommended by Li-Ion battery manufacturers and EV car manufacturers! P.S.: Back in the day, I used IBM Thinkpads with removable batteries in a primarily desktop use case. I used to physically disconnect the battery unless needed and the battery capacity was still super high years later.
Overcharging doesn't exist. When it reaches 100%, the process stops. Unless you mean keeping it at 100% all the time. In that case, you're right. Battery should be charged until 80% And micro fiber cloth or a specialized cleaner specifically designed for MacBooks? Gimme a break.
@@tycjanjakubczyk it shouldn't do any of that. I have a 2017 MBP i5 8/256 running Big Sur and a Windows partition without any trouble at all. Try and do a reinstall of your OS, run First Aid w Disk Utility, and check your battery status with System Report. About This Mac > system report > click "power" under the "Hardware" drop down menu. Look at "charge information" and "health information". It will say how many cycles your battery has been through, if its a lot, maybe over 500-600, your battery is bad shape.
Bro, this sucks. By this video, you shouldn’t use it at all. It would be better to also offer options, and by that, I mean the battery part especially, bc you didn’t offer any alternatives
Nah, that will still cause excessive wear. It's best to use the laptop as little as possible. For those new to computers, I would recommend using it for a few minutes a day at the absolute maximum, but for more experienced users, going a few months at a time without ever turning on the laptop will be better for longevity.
So don’t leave the Mac plugged in cause it can overheat but it’s okay to leave it plugged in for a few hours after cause the charger shuts off. ????????

I've had a space grey MacBook since the colour was introduced in 2017, and never had a problem with it showing up scratches. I had a 2013 MacBook Pro prior and that showed up scratches worse.
you physically cant charge your device with "too much power" it just is not posible as even if you have a 200W adapter the devic will only accept its maximum of e.g. 120W
The joys of actually being able to fix your own computer if it gets dirty/breaks👍 Some Mac users are just unbelievably stupid. Putting a thick rubber case, screen protector (for a non touch screen laptop!?), a keyboard/palmrest cover, and a trackpad cover to prevent wear is just paranoia to the next level. The irony of making a computer ugly and cheap to prevent a few scratches that a bit of caution will prevent just fine.
@@vivek_v Yeah I 100% agree. Covering the trackpad is just stupid (I didn't even know it existed lmao). It's like buying the sharpest quality knife in the world ... and trying to cover the blade with some "protection" because you're scared the sharpness will decrease ... Macbook philosophy could be compared to owning an expensive car ... They are the most polished and well machined laptop in the world and just like a luxurious car, you don't mess with the original design and shape. You just need to be cautious.

Great video Arthur!!! One thing that troubles me, is when a MacBookPro is treated like a desktop and is connected to a display and placed on a vertical stand. That’s when I’m worried about the upcoming heat. I’m afraid that when exposed to long periods of time like so, it could damage the circuit connections. I would really like to know what’s your opinion about such a situation and generally about vertical stands!
I bought my macbook air m1 for almost 3 years now & it still as good as the first time I use it.. the memory swap is going to take effect on a 256gb storage for about 40 plus years & that is more than my lifetime dude.. the battery is easily replaceable by just ordering battery online & watching youtube for tutorials.. I also have thunderbolt 3 that has a speed of 40gbps ssd enclosure to install a bootable macOS so I can have more storage also to save my internal ssd from being worn out.. I also have an app called aldente charge limiter to keep my battery charged to only 60 to 70% & bypass my battery then use my charger to power my macbook.. but after 3 years I decided to unplug the power & use my battery & use my internal ssd like a normal laptop.. macbook air is the laptop that suits almost all the needs of the non techy users & non gamers.. my macbook air m1 is the perfect laptop to my needs.. I am just a small time online seller so I won't be needing a powerful laptop.. I guess my macbook air is going to be my first & last laptop but only God knows hot long will I be..
So much conflicting advice on if you should leave the charger in. Some videos say you should leave in the charger to slow down your power cycles. Equally as many videos say you should plug out your charger to keep your battery active. Which method do I pick? :/ From personal experience with my old ASUS laptop, I leave my charger in all the time. After about 6-8 years of use, my total battery life is extremely poor at around 1 hour 45 minutes. However, my battery life wasn't very high to begin with. According the ChatGPT, my battery life should be around 5 hours. Also, I checked my charge cycles. Seems I have only used a bit over 300 charge cycles. So even my own experience is giving me a contradicting solution. From my experience, it seems that leaving my charger in all the time has resulted in me having used much less charge cycles than expected, but also having much less battery health than I would expect to have after using that number of charge cycles.
if a device heats up air there will be no condensation on said device. 🤦♂ did you skip elementary school? 🤨 yeah dude. all your radiators at home are dripping wet. the opposite is the case. if you leave your device in a cold car and then bring it into your home that's where moisture might condense on the inside. has to be a pretty humid home tho.
I've always used a silicone keyboard cover and there is no moisture accumulation lol. continue to do these things folks. your macbook isn't meant to last any longer than 10 years. your disk will go to shit before any of these other afflictions even matter. batteries can also be replaced - and I have replaced my own battery in my macbook air twice without issues. it's so funny that one of the points on here is "don't buy the lowest grade macbook because using it will damage the disk" 🤣🤣
Keep the battery connected to the power supply as much as possible is GOOD for the battery About a year ago, my battery's health dropped to 66,6% 👹 So I started to put less cycles on it by leaving it plugged in It's now at 75% health, gaining some 400 mAh to 3800 mAh
That is not at all how it works lol leaving a battery at 100% is terrible for them if your MacBook stays at 80% it's alright but if you use your phone plugged in while charging at 100% unless it stops using battery power which I don't think any do you are still getting battery cycles worse ones infact because 100% is tough on lipo batteries. And gaining battery health is impossible the reason that happened is a software update or recalibration
@@ceementality they all stop at 100% with new power delivery version macbook (or screw macbook all laptops with PD system) can modify power input every secon to only accept power required, so if your battery is charged it will come on ac power scource and not use battery at all.
0:37 yeah the paint around the USB C ports starts to wear off, but that happens on all devices using USB C. But I can prevent the MacBook from getting scratched by using a case. 1:02 what is your suggestion then? 1:11 You know it because you do it too right?😂
For Space Grey mac user, i suggest to install skin for our palm resting section and maybe trackpad Sweat really make those color fade. i used macbook m1 air for nearly a year and i dont use often. maybe i have sweaty hand. also i wipe alot after use (macbook is expensive lol, i hope to maintenance as long as i can do) The fading is a print of my palm. it's small but it's super distracting or maybe i have developed obssesive over aesthetic
So can you help me Because I need a case for my Mac and he said not to use a plastic case so can I use a full skin or something else? And from my keyboard what should I use because he said not to use silicon? As after viewing several reviews about new Mac keyboards they get dirty quickly
nope, i've seen people who've had screen protectors open their mac to see that the screen is completely broken. Just don't touch it and wipe it with a microfiber cloth regularly.
One thing that is just a thing that you should never do is 1. Using a plastic case 2. Screen protector 3. Keyboard silicon Never do these things and you will be fine. Good luck
I have decide to just keep my macbook in the box

because there no slot of battery as the GPU place there and used the battery slot for a gpu which ends badly
Not like Towers are taller for that task

it's so funny that one of the points on here is "don't buy the lowest grade macbook because using it will damage the disk" 🤣🤣
Keyboard protector actually damaged my keyboard .. some keys stopped working and the moisture is real ..
Biggest mistake I did is the M2 Midnight. Magnet of fingerprint and scratch the color..
Keep the battery connected to the power supply as much as possible is GOOD for the battery
About a year ago, my battery's health dropped to 66,6% 👹
So I started to put less cycles on it by leaving it plugged in
It's now at 75% health, gaining some 400 mAh to 3800 mAh
That is not at all how it works lol leaving a battery at 100% is terrible for them if your MacBook stays at 80% it's alright but if you use your phone plugged in while charging at 100% unless it stops using battery power which I don't think any do you are still getting battery cycles worse ones infact because 100% is tough on lipo batteries.
And gaining battery health is impossible the reason that happened is a software update or recalibration
@@ceementality they all stop at 100% with new power delivery version macbook (or screw macbook all laptops with PD system) can modify power input every secon to only accept power required, so if your battery is charged it will come on ac power scource and not use battery at all.
So…dont use your macbook or itll scratch get dirty and the battery will give up
Idk why but something gives me a vibe that Apple pays him to say 5:46
what is the proper percentage to maintain battery health like 20 to 80 25 to 80 or 30 to 80 %
will the cooling pad ruin the battery?
I have a dilemma in the colour aspect of MacBook Air M1 should i get the Gold one or any other??
What about a tempered glass screen protector?
0:37 yeah the paint around the USB C ports starts to wear off, but that happens on all devices using USB C. But I can prevent the MacBook from getting scratched by using a case.
1:02 what is your suggestion then?
1:11 You know it because you do it too right?😂
Молодец, хорошо получается
Is the USB Hub from the "ZMUIPNG" brand ok for my Macbook pro? I got a 14 IN 1 USB C Hub from this brand.
Ugreen hub is best
For Space Grey mac user,
i suggest to install skin for our palm resting section and maybe trackpad
Sweat really make those color fade.
i used macbook m1 air for nearly a year and i dont use often.
maybe i have sweaty hand.
also i wipe alot after use (macbook is expensive lol, i hope to maintenance as long as i can do)
The fading is a print of my palm.
it's small but it's super distracting or maybe i have developed obssesive over aesthetic
Ah yeah it is permanent damage. I totally regretted not getting the palm resting sticker. Can’t do anything about it but have to just accept it haha
So put an ugly sticker on a computer to reduce the wear on the surface?
Mac users are possibly the most vain people ever...
So can you help me
Because I need a case for my Mac and he said not to use a plastic case so can I use a full skin or something else?
And from my keyboard what should I use because he said not to use silicon? As after viewing several reviews about new Mac keyboards they get dirty quickly
@@vivek_v just get a cool looking sticker or you are right putting a sticker does reduce the beauty of our macs
Bro no offense but I think you got quite a few things wrong in this video
I think it should be full offence. I hate this guy
Should we use a screen protector ? For MacBook
nope, i've seen people who've had screen protectors open their mac to see that the screen is completely broken. Just don't touch it and wipe it with a microfiber cloth regularly.
I knew it! We have the same furniture from Samyang hahaha 😂🤣
3:10 Wait but leaving the macbook plugged in and charging is need in order for clamshell mode to work right?
He was wrong
Get a cover for your macbook
No longer excited about Apple.
sadly that how i think for windows pc as AI taken over
I never eat in front of my macbook or PC never!!!!
I used to have something to drink close to my computers. After I spilled a glass of red wine 🍷 over a laptop, no drinks allowed near a computer 😢
A wonderful video once again!
Just a waste of time
how bout screen protectors
One thing that is just a thing that you should never do is
1. Using a plastic case
2. Screen protector
3. Keyboard silicon
Never do these things and you will be fine.
Good luck
@@star1-252 I use a plastic case it’s fine tbh
Артур, такую чепуху прогнал! 🤣🤣🤣
