The trend of erasing MacBook screens

After many Chinese bought MacBook screen is broken Instead of desktop computers, Western users have also had a trend of removing MacBook screens for use, similar to Apple’s older PCs.

The Verge, MacBook remove the screen into a new trend. They are shared all over Twitter and are hotly discussed on Reddit after rumors that Apple was going to make a computer that fit inside a keyboard.

“People ask a lot when they see my MacBook Air M1 without screen at a party. Some people ask what this is, others wonder if it’s a new Mac, others say my MacBook has a broken screen image”, tech writer Umar Shakir from The Verge telling you.

Umar Shakir said he removed the Macbook’s screen and had no intention of reinstalling it. It now functions as a standalone computer, similar to the Apple II and Commodore 64. But M1-supported computers have a trackpad, long battery life, and AirPlay. “I call it ‘slabtop’. And I love it,” said Shakir.

While it may seem silly, Shakir says the experience on a “slabtop” is more enjoyable than on a regular laptop. Users can quickly connect to the TV wirelessly via the keyboard, then be free to play with friends without having to fold the screen or worry about the screen bumping into someone.

In exchange for the compact and flexible design of the MacBook without a display, users will lose some features such as not being able to see the screen for repair if the machine encounters a software error. If they want to connect to the TV wirelessly, they will need to connect to the monitor with a cable before switching to the AirPlay driver. A “slabtop” also no longer has a webcam, so users can’t make video calls as usual.

Additionally, some Macbook Pro models from 2008 to 2010 will also lose Wi-Fi connectivity because the AirPort and antenna are located on the display hinge. Interestingly, without a wireless connection, this computer can still connect to the network via the Ethernet jack, only newer and newer models don’t have this connection port. Users may also have a bit of difficulty moving around when the power button is accidentally touched and the device will start up automatically without noticing it.

After removing the screen, the user will feel an unexpected light computer. Many people believe that one day, computers without an Apple display will become a reality. It also reminds people of the colorful iBook models designed since 1999.

“My wife asked me when I would put the monitor back into the computer. It was really a tough decision, I like my current machine, take it everywhere and get surprises from people around. It’s really exciting,” said Shakir . According to him the MacBook without the screen offers an excellent experience, not unlike the Mac Studio at an affordable price.
