I would blow Dane Cook posted:I got my macbook back with the fixed screen and now it connects to 5ghz wifi but not 2.4ghz wifi. Is it possible the technician forgot to plug all of the antennas in when it was being reassembled? Same symptoms occur if I boot it into windows. Can you try connecting/using bluetooth devices? If it works it's some glitch of sorts, if it doesn't the 2,4ghz antenna is not connected.

T Zero posted:Looks like the Apple store is offering a $250 gift card for new laptops over Black Friday weekend. As far as I know that's the best deal on current gen from any major retailer. eh too bad you can't just use it on the product as I don't need anything else from them is it transferrable? i might do it it someone wants to buy the gc for me at a discount (not sure if this kind of post is allowed here tho)

I really don't think they've changed how they do their gift cards. If you go in store they give you a physical gift card to walk out with.

Apple's trade-in values are pretty laughable nowadays - they want to give me $255 for a $2k 2018 13" MacBook Pro that regularly sells for $800+ on eBay.

I've used https://www.macofalltrades.com/ a few times, they're not as good price-wise as ebay (or I assume selling locally) but are in the ballpark and have been no hassle and give instant quotes

Apple just recently nuked a bunch of their trade in values across various product lines, so it's probably completely eliminated that as an effective option, and why some are seeing such low potential offers.

Has anyone here used the continuity camera thing? I thought it was only an AS thing but apparently updating my MacMini to Ventura added the feature. Except like every modern apple feature there are no settings for this and it’s supposed to ‘just work’ which it did once. So both the phone and the mac are on the same wifi and after trying it once the only way to get it to come up is by plugging it in physically. Although I think i prefer my MacBooks crappier webcam because I hate looking at myself in that and seeing even more detail makes it worse.

Just bought my first macbook air in nine years. Kinda interesting to compare the specs then and now. Surprisingly little in the way of cost inflation.   The 2013 version came out to $1450 after taxes while the new one is about $1700 ($1550 if you include the $150 gift card).

regarding the trade in value chat from a day or two ago: you can check out other retailers with trade in programs. i traded my 2018 mbp into bestbuy instead of apple and got a couple hundred bucks more than apple offered. it wasn't as much as i could've gotten on swappa, but much lower effort and less likely to get scammed. it's usually store credit you get for trade ins, but if you're buying an apple product, bestbuy will sell it too and also runs better sales.
