- incanus77 11mo agoSame, I have a 2013. It’s such a good size.
- w0m 11mo agoI'm down to ~10m of battery life on my i7 11" - any pointers on battery replacement? Laptop worked great otherwwise (retired it last year due to battery life)
- bxparks 11mo agoI tried eBay like 4 times. But they were all fake or defective. At least one of them was dead on arrival. I finally bought one from iFixit.com. Far more expensive than eBay, but the battery actually worked great for about a year. Then about a month after the 1-year warranty expired, it degraded noticeably (maybe to 80%) with only about 100-200 charge cycles. Even iFixIt cannot source a battery as good as the original Apple. Right now, it's at 65% capacity after 584 charge cycles, after 4.5 years of service. I will probably go back to iFixIt. At least I'll get one year of full capacity from them, instead of the fake or DOA ones from eBay.
- jebarker 11mo agoI used iFixit. I haven’t been tracking battery life really, but after a couple of years it’s still going strong
- rcarmo 11mo agoiFixit had a kit for the Air. Not sure about other models.
- jll29 11mo ago11" is a great size - especiall if one has to work on a plane occasionally (economy class - not your own jet).
- haunter 11mo agoThis is what I want to do as well but the 8GB RAM version was CTO, eveywhere I look people are only selling the 4GB models
