My cat bit the corner of my MacBook Air
I’m not super tech savvy so I got it hooked up to monitor and it was not letting me on or anything. I had gotten wireless keyboard and mouse but it wasn’t letting me open to set it up, returned those things to Amazon and bought wired keyboard and mouse and was able to set up the stuff. Thought I had to get webcam if I could only use it in clamshell mode. Now it’s letting me do all the things while open. I’m going to keep the wired stuff because who knows if I need to reset stuff later.
I have a MacBook Air M1 chip that I bought refurbished from a local shop that’s apparently well known nationally etc (Computer Overhauls) for $396 and fixing the screen would cost at least $450 so I opted to turn it into a desktop. Got a BenQ LCD monitor for $119 from B & H Photo Video Pro Audio in Manhattan.
Any tips on other tech things I might need to consider would be helpful.
Thanks
