Ok.. thank you for the replies folks

I bought mine way back in end 2014 and it came with the standard 3 pin. I am surprised if a local distributor here sells you a non malaysian set?!?

ughh had a very bad apple day yesterday... my iphone 6s suddenly freeze with a blurred screen, had to force restart and half of my contacts went missing... even icloud seems to only have my very very old contacts although i've already on contacts sync with icloud...

just after that my MBPr 13" suddenly have the horizontal jagged colour lines and froze! Restarted dozen times and it'll either get stuck/hang 1 min after going back to the main screen, or even while booting up in the middle of the apple logo. There's no spinning wheel freeze, you can't even see the mouse cursor. Totally hanged...

For now it seems okay, but i have a feeling if i restart the MBPr it'll start to hang again..

Maybe he bought used set, online or from non-authorised resellers. But no issues anyway. Apart from the plug, there's virtually no other difference. Even warranty for non-Malaysian sets can be claimed in Malaysian Apple service centres.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that mate.

Are you going to proceed with claiming warranty for the MBPr 13"?

As for the 6S issue, so far never faced such issue with my contacts, but then again my contacts are synchronised with Google and not iCloud.

Well, if thats the case its ok. If it was me, as I bought here in M'sia, I would want a 'Malaysian Local set'. Its more desirable that way IMHO. Same case with a iPhone, those which are local set can demand higher resale value than those came in APs or overseas grey imports....

anyone playing Dota 2 here with Macbook?

can i directly install into OSX or need to use bootcamp/parellel?

I used to play. Yea, can play directly. Just install Steam, install DOTA and you're set.

thanks for your input man.

By the way, how good is the intel iris graphic cards? hmmm

It is not too bad given that MacBook is never known as a gaming laptop. The performance of the integrated Intel Iris graphic card is really not bad.

Dota 2 is totally playable on MBP.

thanks man. I decided to get a 15'.

Did u guys come across something like HDMI splitter? as i wish to share my deskstop monitor with the macbook?

and i heard the RAM and SSD of new macbook cannot be upgrade later right?

I'll wait to see if it acts up again... not too happy as the MBPr is only 5 months old >:(

There is such thing as hdmi splitter but normally those are the accessories without brand one.

RAM can not upgraded SSD can but very troublesome process to upgrade it. It is good to go with the correct size of sad u need in the first place then try to upgrade later or buy all sort of external storage to compensate it it is waste of money and time.

If u buying the 15-inch model then no need to upgrade rite as it is already 16gb and u cannot upgrade it anyway as it is max already.

ya man... but i doubt of 256GB is sufficient...

512 SSD and apple care is da boom

256 is the minimum req which it at least give sufficient space for running boot camp etc.

It is good to have especially if budget permits.

ya man... as the new rMBP is not cheap... apple care for a peace of mind is worthy as i feel...

now i can't decide 13' or 15' ... hmmm

This video will be a great help to u on this.

my apple care took so long to arrive, dhl status slow update somemore

This video will be a great help to u on this.

Even the lowest end 15" stock perform better than 13" high end stock..

exactly what is my mine... but 15' not that portable thou...
