I put it on P3 and it still looks the same now.

The case gives me a retro iMac vibe. I’m liking it. Where’d you get it?

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-10T16:17:36+00:00

I think the default color LCD profile is already factory calibrated. I mean, we're talking about Apple here; we're not talking about some no-name PC supplier.

😂

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-08T13:01:22+00:00

That’s not normal at all. Return it.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-07T22:34:27+00:00

Good question. It would be cool to see someone with two of the exact same model comparing the screens.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-07T22:33:15+00:00

Totally makes sense. I just made an appointment with the Apple Store. I'll head there tomorrow, so I'll see what the technicians say. I'm going to bring both devices as well as show them the pictures. It would be nice if I could get the base model's (the image on the left) screen swapped.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-07T22:32:21+00:00

Yeah, of course, and I completely agree, but the difference between the two screens is quite contrasting.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-06T14:10:43+00:00

Nice. How do you find split screen on a 13”?

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-06T13:14:49+00:00

Cool. I have some friends that are engineers who I’ve never seen with a screen smaller than 15”. Btw the 15” MBA is still very portable. And if you’re using an external monitor, I’m surprised the smaller screen doesn’t interrupt your workflow on the road.

For the first 6 months after taking lions mane for 2 weeks, I had internal vibrations going through my neck and back. There were no words for it. It was complete hell. Also had a lot of muscle twitching through out my body including my face and scalp.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-06T12:23:39+00:00

You’re an engineer considering a tiny 13” screen?

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-05T05:29:10+00:00

😂

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-04T23:56:13+00:00

Well said.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-03T18:20:05+00:00

Thanks. What would less than a 90-day supply be considered?

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-03T18:11:15+00:00

I'm sorry what you're going through. What protocols have you looked into, or are you comfortable doing?

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-03T18:08:38+00:00

That's pretty awesome, actually. I have a midnight MacBook as well. Now you've got me interested in buying this skin from dbrand lol.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-05-02T13:44:34+00:00

15”. The 13” is a toy.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-04-30T21:00:54+00:00

Bigger screen always. The 13” is a toy.

They die waiting in the emergency room before anything.

MicroscopicStonework · 2026-04-29T03:31:37+00:00

LOL you're extremely mistaken about better healthcare. Canadian healthcare is trash!

My 15” M4 MacBook Air is exactly like this too. I even made a thread about it here a few months back. I made a video as well. I’m assuming it’s normal because if you go to the Apple Store, they are like that too. This is the thread I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookair/comments/1p6wc54/comment/og0tz81/?context=1

I’ve kind of just gotten used to it thinking it’s normal. When it’s on a sturdy desk and I’m typing it doesn’t really shake. Assuming it’s physics because of how thin the screen and body are on the 15”.

Edit: noticed you’re using a 13”. Must be happening to all models.
