Thread: What computer should I buy?

The upgrade to Mojave is not the issue since the fault developed before it was released.
Incidentally, the new Mac Mini looks a good buy and has more power although I have to say it is probably redundant for most folk.

You could try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
I've heard this can sometimes fix your type of problem.

Thanks for that Tizme, I shall do this.

Hello,

I second that. I have been using Mac since a long time and being an active mac user, I also recommend you to purchase a mac book air. It has an astonishing quality and now they have provided a light weight alternative to windows alternative. It also has a thin aluminum case which is quite appealing. However, I haven't faced any issue up til now and it's works perfectly fine. You must go for it.

You could have summarised that neatly with

"Go and buy some overpriced Mac shite".
