Wanna ask, is it a good time to buy the slightly outdated Macbook Pro Retina?
Saw new model released with force touch trackpad but will ship in Apr and probably will kena GST.....
Does the new force touch trackpad make a big difference?? Will it be worth to buy the old model just to avoid GST??
*
If you buy from apple store in April, it will charge 6% GST. also, the MBP retina will only ship in mid April, means confirm kena GST smile.gif if u dont mind the trackpad, its actually worth to buy the previous version.

I need advice on it , if worth to buy ,I will buy tomolo , really need laptop urgent

This item good option if you dont need the Retina, as this is the only one that can upgrade ram, and HDD. the repairs are also cheaper, like the LCD for this model can repair for few hundred, but retina needs 1-2k to replace the LCD.

Price-wise i can probably get it around Rm3400, so i think its a good deal laugh.gif

If you don't have enough budget, my suggest is to get a used rMBP

You can get it cheaper than new ones and usually you will get a good condition ones with the right price

I'm currently thinking of upgrading to Macbook Pro 15".
Currently using 13" Late 2012 Retina 256 Spec. How much you guys reckon I would need to top up?

I want a bigger screen. biggrin.gif

Total of all the CSVs roughly 12 mil, but still looking good nonetheless. The previous Excel would've possibly balked at 45k rows. I'm using 2016 now. Thanks for trying it out. smile.gif

Any of you have experience with the turnaround time for Switch warranty repair?
I think one of my keyboard key is stuck or the cap is broken. Feels very wobbly when press on it. If I press it on a certain angle, it gets stuck... -.-

Gonna bring my MBP to Switch tomoro and have it checked. What is the turnaround time if I were to leave my lappie there?

Do you have soda water stain on the keyboard? or you accidentally spill soda water eg. Coke, Pepsi?

You can easily clean the keyboard by your own.

Isn't the new trackpad is not for providing feedback, but instead it's pressure sensitive for its new feature? Sort like another kind of click or button, but it's touch based.
*
the vibration feels real! Apple mentioned about having electromagnets vibrating when you click and i was expecting a noticeable artificial feedback but it felt as if it is still a mechanical trackpad(but its not). so far, the feedback will only 'vibrate' when you turn off tap to select, when u press mid-range hard, the feedback gets stronger as you apply more touch to it. my only issue with it so far is that when you tap and drag to select multiple items, it sometimes detect too much force and start previewing the file.

You mean I have to disable the "Tap to Click" in order to feed the feedback? huh.gif

I have been using this tap to click feature since then and wonder how to adapt to the new feature sweat.gif

In anyway, there's a threshold where you can set the "sensitivity" of the force.

disabling tap to click means u have to actually click to click and if you recall from the traditional trackpads, when u click it, u feel the trackpad clicking giving u that feedback. with the new force trackpad, if u disable tap to click, u will feel the feedback when u click.

you will still feel the feedback when clicking(instead of gentle tapping) the trackpad. honestly, it won't need much adaptation. which is what impressed me the most.
