you cant ship to the reseller, have to be your own address.
how can it go missing?
even if it does, it will be insured.
i bought 2 rMBP from online store, delivered on time and everything in good condition

any news on 13' macbook pro retina?

Okay, thanks for the useful feedback.

If order through reseller, they ask for 50% down payment. Pay them remaining 50% when the MBP arrives.

If I order online myself , I assume I have to pay full payment upfront, right?

Thanks

Even though my rMBP is suited now, I do remove the case once in a while as my lust for its beauty is too overwhelming. It's like your hot gf / bf that you keep locked up, once awhile must open up.

Seriously, not recommended to pay any downpayment and wait for it from resellers. Either get the Mac from the reseller that has ready stock or go with online store purchase direct from Apple. There are just too many reseller around which delay a lot in doing orders, and you don't want to take that risk, do you?

I got a Macbook Air 2012 BTO (Build to Order) from Machines MV. Put a 50% deposit and got it in exactly 2 weeks.

Only advantage from resellers is I took the 0% interest plan for 6 mths.

Btw, anyone know where I can get the Just Mobile Lazy Couch (yeah, it is expensive I admit)? The 2 sellers in LYN are out of stock.

You can get it from iStudio but need to travel to Bangkok.

That's where I bought mine just about 2 months ago when I was there. About 590 baht if I remember correctly, which is MUCH cheaper than LYN sellers.

Even though not much of a use truthfully speaking, the Lazy Couch looks seriously awesome when paired with my rMBP.

Yes, looks awesome.

I have the Just Mobile Cooling Bar, but cannot take it on the plane , so that's why looking for the Lazy Couch.

Cooling bar looks like a weapon when scanned at airport

Hi there, can anyone let me know where can I get ACPP for my mbpr beside machine ? Of coz with more competitive price

purchase it from reputable ebay sellers

Wondering others Apple Resellers out there provide this BTO with installment plan too?

Thanks.

ps. any mbpr user in malaysia having image retention problem? mine look like have it, i accidently saw some ghosting this afternoon after using my mbpr for sometime.

Guys, i wanna ask about the battery.
Bought my MBP 13" on the 25 Jun 2012.
The battery capacity show 98% when i receive it.
Now it show only 87%(5043).
Drop around 700 mah.
Battery cycle is 44.

Is there any problem with the battery?
What should i do?

Battery capacity normally go up and down.
Is it stuck at 87% or less now, or does it go up to over 90% at times?

But when you get it new, your battery should be at 100% capacity, and not 98%.

Was the battery cycle count at 0 when you got it?

Was yours a brand new in sealed-box unit?
Or you bought a used unit?
Or you got it in an opened box (which means it has possibly been used before)?

Apple states that their batteries (beginning with MacBooks released from 2009 and later) maintain at least 80% charge over a period of up to 1000 full charge cycles.

However, this is provided that you use the battery within the expected temperature range, etc.

If you use your MacBook everyday in the sun or perhaps even do heavy gaming with no cooler pad or aircon environment, the capacity will drop way faster due to heat damage as batteries and heat do not go hand in hand.

So if your MacBook is approaching 80% fast before even close to 100 charge cycles, sounds like a defect to me.

But if I were you, I would use it for a little while more to see whether the battery capacity jumps back to over 90%.
