QUOTE(limkj @ Sep 17 2012, 10:42 AM) I think you are looking at MacBook Pro 13" which starts at USD1199. Retina Display Starts at USD2199 for the 15" from the US Store. Try looking at http://store.apple.com/my for the local Apple Store. Hope that helps No no i mean apple care warranty if i add it on the apple site it says add 1199 ringgit, is it really that expensive?

QUOTE(kevink82 @ Sep 17 2012, 10:14 AM) How much exactly is apple care for retina macbook? I click the option on the apple site it showed me 1,199 ringgit??.....  Look in ebay, you save some $ from buying there, make sure only buy from reputable seller at ebay, get the box as well, not only the activation codes.

Actually my friend told me i can just click education and buy it even though im not a student.... but still want to try find a floor unit with a sammy panel to save me future trouble. The apple care i can buy it on the last day right? like on 364 days after purchase?

Last week my friend bought a unit of CTO rMBP, Apple hold the shipment, calls and email were received to ask prove of student card and card detail of purchaser, took one week to verified, then shipment was sent out

For rMBP, the Samsung panel may not be affected with image-persistence problem compared to LG panels, but it is prone to a whole of different problems - such as uneven brightness, colour tints, and worst of all dead pixels - which will likely develop in time and is a far worse problem than image-persistence. Either way, we all have to be worried whether we have either Samsung or LG panel. Or just don't worry and enjoy our device.

Its just a hassle for ppl who use it for their main workstation thats all. I went to try a LG panel retina macbook yesterday and i dont notice any really, but the brightness of the screen is a bit low honestly on LG panels.
