New 2012 11 inch macbook air's fans remain on while in sleep

i purchased my new macbook air about two weeks ago and last night, i put my computer to sleep and noticed that the fans remained on. since then, ive reset the pram and the smc but it still keeps the fans on. i'm not sure if it should do this and i just didn't notice or if it's actually supposed to do that. any feedback would be apreciated.

i've also just noticed that this only occurs while it is connected to the charger. when it is unplugged, it goes into sleep properly but as soon as i plug it back in, it starts up again. i have no intention of reinstalling lion due to the imminent release of mountain lion. please let me know if i should take it back to the apple store. thank you.

MacBook Air 2013 battery drains quickly while in sleep mode

I just purchased a 13" mid-2013 MacBook Air this week, and so far everything is working well - a remarkable improvement over my 2007 MacBook! But, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain very quickly while in sleep mode. For example, it drained 10% over five hours. I've turned off bluetooth and made sure that the PowerNap option is not selected under Energy Saver preferences. And the battery health/capacity seems to be good. Are there other things that I should turn off/check out? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even abnormal for the battery to drain at this rate while in sleep mode? Thank you!!

Why my macbook air 's fan makes noise while i am watching movies online?

is it normal?

It can be. likely the streaming movie is using flash, java, or someother video streaming softare. These programs will draw heavily from the GPU(Graphics Processing Unit).

Is $1019 a good price?

Can you tell me why you don't think its a good buy? Someone bought it that must have thought it was a good buy? You?!!!
I had a macbook pro, spilled an entire latte on it. Cannot afford to drop another 1500 on a new one. I understand the air is a great machine. And for someone that is hard on equipment (aside from liquid!) with no moving parts its a better option. This one is priced at $929 - good?

Should I upgrade to the i7 processor on the 2012 11" Macbook Air?

I'm planning to get a new Macbook friday or so, and I'm curious to whether or not I should upgrade to the i7 processor in the 2012 11" Macbook Air. I do a lot of photoshopping and occasionally playing Sims 3, but aside from that it's just usual typing and social networking type stuff. Is upgrading to the i7 worth it and will I notice a difference? Or should I just go for upgrading the RAM to 8GB instead of the 4GB it comes with? I also am for sure getting the 256GB upgrade, as well as a case and external disc drive. Whatever the lowest pricing possible would be preferable to get what works best for me.
Thanks!

Difference between i5 1.7 and i7 2.0 definitely won't give you extra year or two... In fact in everyday work it remains unnoticed.
Unless while encoding video for 5 minutes, some 15 seconds is going to make a difference to you - I am not sure it's worth the money (only you can decide that..).
RAM. RAM. RAM is where you really should spend money. Also SSD, depends on your needs, you may run out of space quite quickly. These are elements that will give you additional year or two, and you can't* upgrade them in the future.
*) SSD technicaly can be upgraded, but it's much more difficult and requires you to purchase 3rd party SSD modules, and is considered non-upgradable by Apple.

Macbook Pro 13" 2012 OR Macbook Air 13" 2012

I am thinking of buying on of the two macbooks, but I am not sure which one to choose. The 2012 refresh made them really similar, specs. wise. The only significant difference I could find was that the Macbook Pro has a superdrive. I am kind of pushed towards the Macbook Air because of the higher screen resolution, but is it really better than the Macbook Pro's screen?(also it's size)
I would use the laptop at least two years and I will use it most for web browsing, video editing and some gaming.
Which one would you recommend to me and why?

if your major concern is portability get the air. i own both a early 2011 macbook pro 13" and a 2012 11" macbook air. i love my mba because its extremely lite and portable. it turns on and is ready to use in 9 seconds. very quick. but once im on the next it might be half a seond to a second faster than my mbp when clicking on the same web page. i have put them side by side and clicked on the same sites synchronized. unless you are very impatient the speed is not that much different. im assuming the new mbp is just as quick as the air if not faster. the SSD is faster when you are retrieving data, not while you are surfing the web. with that said the pro comes with way more storage. people have commented so far just get an external hard drive. well the point of the mba is portability. carrying around an external hard drive kind of negates that luxury, and add in an external superdrive and now you are just cluttered with external peripherals.
yes the mbp is heavier but it feels way more solid.
with that said i want to clarify about the screens. my early 2011 MBP has a much much better picture quality than my air. colors, photos and videos are much more vibrant and crisp than on the mba.
unless your concern is portability the mba is best used to compliment a mbp.
and if your still thinking about the 13" mba the only benefit is weight. its the same width as the mbp so portability is really not that much of a difference.
i hope this reply helps.

I got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

i got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

okay well another question the track pad on my 11 inch mac got stuck and wouldnt work and i took it to the apple store and had a tech look at it and he said it was working and i got home and it still wouldnt work so i took it back again to another tech and he said the guy before didnt fix it right and he said it was broken and that i needed a new track pad and he said he would replace it but they didnt have any trackpads in the store at the time but he fixed it enough that it barely works but he said i needed to come back to get a new trackpad because he fixed it enough that it would only work for a short period of time, so i went back the other day to another tech and told him and he said that since it still works they wouldnt do anything about it. but it barely works and barely clicks down should they fix it since the one tech told me it will only work for a short time and that if i came back they would replace my trackpad ? i have apple care and i am still under the 1 year warranty.

Hi, I'd like to buy a 13 inch macbook air. My biggest concern is to get one that doesn't have high EMFs to it and that has low heat. Which one would you suggest? The older 2010, or the 2011 with the i5 chip or the newest with the i7 chip?

Hi, I would like to buy my first laptop computer, the 13 inch macbook air.
My biggest concerns are:
1. Which has the least amount of EMFs? I'm sensitive to that and have enjoyed my iPad (original) that has no EMF fields.
2. Which runs the coolest?
I want the 128 gig one. Which would fit my requirments, the 2010 with the 2 Core Duo, the 2011 I believe it is with the i5 chip, or the newest one with the i7 chip? From the reviews I have read, it sounds like the one with the i7 chip runs the hottest.
I'm sure I am missing a whole lot of information, please fill me in!
Thanks,
Martha

Changing the 13 inch screen resolution will unfortunately result in a less sharp display, simply because all these type of displays have an 'native' resolution which gives optimal results, leaving other settings less crisp. The 13 inch MBA panel has a native resolution of 1440x900, which is remarkable for a screen of that size (I have 17 inch widescreen monitors at work with that same resolution) but it can certainly be set at a lower figure.
The one area where the trackpad has benefits over a mouse is that you can use multi-touch gestures, just as on the iPad. That's a feature I really like, particularly being able to zoom in and out and scroll up and down, though of course other gestures are supported too. As such then it does indeed work much like the touch screen capaibilities of an iPad.
If you have a Mighty Mouse the one with the tiny scroll-ball on the top-front, then they are notorious for scrolling issues due to getting clogged up. They're not hard to clean, but the Mighty Mouse is notably inferior to the later Magic Mouse, which doesn't have a scroll-ball or wheel, but uses the whole top panel for scrolling using gestures in much the same way as a trackpad. I've found a Magic Mouse a good investment for any Bluetooth-capable Mac (which of course includes all MBA models).
[ON EDIT]: The MBA doesn't come with Flash, but it is a free download from Adobe, and is very simple to install. Just make sure you get the installer from Adobe.com and not any other location since there is some malware which masquerades as a Flash installer but is not safe to install! Beware though that Flash is very processor intensive, and if anything will run the MBA fans up to speed, and heat the system up, it is that.
Good luck with the readings!!

Which Microphone for New Mid 2011 Macbook Air 13"

Please recommend a few USB condensor microphones for voice/vocal recordings that is sure to work with the New Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
My 3.5mm to USB adapters that work on my 2009 Macbook Pro with Leopard OS, no longer works with Lion OS
Ill be using this with GarageBand, iMovie & Audacity. Previously I'd use my Azden SMX-10 with the adapter. (the Azden is also used with my Canon DSLR).
Thanks in advance.

It is entirely possible, as many have known from day one (as ifixit's first teardown revealed). Unlike the unupgradeable memory, the SSD is a discrete expansion card that is removeable with just one screw, after removing the case cover. It is however debateable as to whether such an expansion is worth the possible risk of making demonstrable changes to the MBA whilst still under warranty. So you may want to stave off consideration for a while.
I made the upgrade recently on my older 2010 MBA, and it was easier than upgrading the HDD on my old MacBook Pro.
