Troubleshooting

Device is not detecting external display

Ensure you are using high-quality Thunderbolt 5 or HDMI 2.1 certified cables and verify the input source on your monitor.

Wi-Fi speeds are slower than expected

Check your 'Activity Monitor' to see if a background process is spiking CPU usage and ensure your macOS version is fully updated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, connect your display using the HDMI port or Thunderbolt 5 ports. Connect your power cable and peripherals to the rear ports or the convenient front-facing USB-C slots. Upon initial boot, follow the macOS setup assistant to configure your Apple ID and Apple Intelligence preferences. For physical care, ensure the underside of the device remains clear to allow for proper airflow; avoid placing the unit on thick rugs or cluttered surfaces that could trap heat. Use a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe the exterior, and avoid harsh chemicals. Because storage cannot be upgraded, organize your digital workflow early by mapping important project folders to a high-speed Thunderbolt-connected external drive.
