How to prevent these marks on a MacBook after 2 years?

Someone’s MacBook developed marks like these after around 2 years of use.

For those who’ve been using their MacBooks for several years, have you experienced this? What causes these marks, and how can they be prevented?

Would a screen protector, keyboard cover, or microfiber cloth between the screen and keyboard help?

Barrot Screen Cleaner vs Distilled Water for MacBook

Is this Barrot Screen Cleaner safe for a MacBook screen, or is distilled water + a microfiber cloth still the better option? If anyone has used it on a MacBook, I'd love to hear your experience.

Is your money getting stuck if you claim GST?

I'm thinking of buying something using someone else's GST (with their permission). I've heard that a lot of businesses have money stuck in GST/ITC and aren't getting it back on time.

Is that true? Also, do you effectively get the full 18% benefit, or is it closer to 16–17%?

[WTB] Is ₹1.18L fair for an unactivated MacBook Air M5 with an opened seal?

A local shop is selling a MacBook for ₹1,18,000 (original MRP ₹1,19,999). The seal has been opened, but the MacBook has never been activated, so it's technically unused.

Is ₹1.18L a fair price, or should I negotiate? If so, what would be a reasonable price to aim for?

[WTB]Buying a MacBook Air M5 offline during Apple's Back to School offer – what's the lowest price I can realistically get?

I'm planning to buy a MacBook Air M5 offline during Apple's Back to School offer. What's the lowest price I can realistically expect after education pricing, bank offers, and any store discounts?

If anyone bought one recently from an Apple Authorised Reseller or Apple Store, please share the final amount you paid and whether there's any room for negotiation.

Airtel Xstream Fiber WiFi works on phones but refuses to connect to TV. Support has been useless

My Airtel Xstream Fiber WiFi works perfectly on all our phones, but my TV refuses to connect most of the time. The weird part is that the TV connects instantly to my neighbour's WiFi and even my phone's hotspot, so the TV itself doesn't seem to be the issue.

I contacted Airtel customer care, and they assigned a technician. It's been 3 days, and the technician hasn't picked up a single call. I've already raised the complaint 3 times with customer support, but they just keep saying the issue has been escalated.

Has anyone faced something similar? Is this a router issue, some compatibility problem with Airtel, or just terrible service? Any fixes or suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: Should i switch to jio/netplus instead?

[QUERY]Is the MacBook Air M4 actually cheaper in Saudi Arabia than in India?

I'm trying to compare MacBook Air M4 prices between Saudi Arabia and India.

Everyone says it's much cheaper in Saudi Arabia, but when I compare the official Apple prices (and even prices on other major retailers' websites), I don't see a significant difference after currency conversion.

Am I missing something? Is it actually cheaper in Saudi Arabia, and if so, by roughly how much? I'm only comparing listed prices - not student discounts, bank offers, cashback, or exchange deals.

[DEAL] Is this MacBook Air M2 deal worth ₹59k?

Found a used MacBook Air M2 (2023) with these specs:

- 15.3-inch display

- 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD

- Battery health: 97%

- Battery cycle count: 82

- Includes original box and charger

- Price: ₹58,000 + ₹1,000 travel cost (seller is in a nearby city)

Does this seem like a good deal, or should I negotiate further? Also, what should I check before buying to make sure it's not a scam or has no hidden issues?

[QUERY] Is every MacBook Air M4/M3 listed under ₹40k on OLX a scam?

I've been seeing a lot of MacBook Air M4 and M3 listings on OLX for under ₹40,000. What's even stranger is that the same seller seems to have multiple MacBooks listed from different locations.

This feels suspicious, but I'm wondering if there's any legitimate explanation for it. Has anyone actually bought one of these?

Are these usually scams, stolen devices, fake listings, or something else? What red flags should I watch out for?

[WTB]-Is the MacBook Air M4/M3/M2 really discontinued? Can't find it anywhere.

I've been looking for a MacBook Air (M4, M3, or M2) and literally every Apple-authorized reseller I've visited says they're discontinued and no longer available. I couldn't find a single unit in stock.

Is this actually true, or are stores just out of stock? Has anyone bought one recently, or knows where they're still available offline?

Any help would be appreciated.

Macbook Air M2(8gb) vs M3(16gb) vs M4(16gb) around ~70k

Need some advice from developers/students using MacBooks.

My budget is around ₹70k currently, but I can stretch if it’s genuinely worth it long term. I’m mainly going to use it for coding/web dev, college work, Docker, VS Code, multitasking etc.

Would you recommend:

•M2 Air 8GB

M3 Air 16GB

Or stretching further for M4 Air 16GB

How bad is 8GB RAM in 2026 for development? A lot of people say unified memory works differently on Macs, but I also see many recommending 16GB minimum.

Also, realistically what’s the best effective price I can expect in India after:

student discount

credit card offers

GST claim(Which I don't have)

One more thing: is AppleCare+ actually worth paying ~₹20k extra for if budget is already tight? Or is it unnecessary for most students if they handle the laptop carefully?
