For MAC, no need for anti virus. Apple will provide updates from time to time to handle issues like these. However softwares to remove and check for adware is a must though.

Hello,

Sorry to hear that, for advice get chepoo sleeve. You can use the sleeve to cover ur macbook base I got mine from lowyat top floor, only rm 15. Worth it 

too late for me, i wanted to get the 15inch high spec.

Now i'm in dilemma even lol..

1. rMBP mid 2014 I could get new at 41xx  (Pro: Better Performance, more ports, Con: Heavier?)
2. New Macbook - 43xx (Pro: Portablity, Trendy Design; Con: Poorer Permance, 1 port?)

Skipped MBA, because not retina.

main usage would be: web design / lightroom, light photoshop, internet, movie, less gaming.

any can advise? .hmmm..

Hi.. would like to ask, how could i clean my screen? i notice quite a number of finger print.. do you advice to apply the screen protector? besides, any nice sleeve recommend? thanks in advance

13" 2015 rMBP. Go with 8GB or 16GB RAM

Has anyone thought of letting their macbook go for a gaming windows laptop? Thinking of doing that to mine.. The RMBP just cant game without  it heating up a lot..

Hi all, I'm new to Mac and is waiting to receive my rMBP 13' this week..

Would like to ask if there is any casing that I can get to protect my MacBook from getting scratch etc..I'm quite clumsy and have nails..so kinda scared that I'll scratch it..

But I've also heard leaving a case on can cause over heating and overtime it'll scratch your macbook too..

Any suggestion pls? Thanks

how often do you guys charge your lappies?

looks like i'll get this 2015 high spec model as replacement from Apple for free.
anyone has feedback on this generation yet?

had bad experience with my CTO 15" rMBP mid 2012, they replaced a screen back in 2013 and the fan back in february this year.
just this month, they approved a screen, flash storage and top case replacement but the service provider here in Manila is having difficulties in ordering the parts because it requires permit from Customs before they can place order on the parts.
they gave me an option to order the parts through another AASP but it requires the other AASP to have the technical log of my Mac, which means i have to send my Mac to Manila again for diagnostic. bare in mind that i'm living 3 hours away from Manila.
I called Apple Care to get an exemption for the technical log and after a few hours they called me to let me know that i'll get a replacement unit rather than the exemption that i was looking for.
The replacement unit that they'll provide is also the one that has the highest spec, was really surprised with their decision
I guess it would make more sense to replace the whole unit rather than those parts, but bare in mind that nearly all parts would have been changed as the top case encloses the trackpad, speakers, battery and they're not removable.

Yes it's covered under Apple Care Protection Plan. It was the best RM1199 I've ever spent on an Apple product 

you should!
i paid 8k for a low spec CTO 16GB RAM 2012 model with ACPP and got a brand new high spec model worth nearly 2k more than the price i originally paid for and i can purchase another ACPP for the replacement unit
they just informed me that i'll only receive the replacement around July due to regulatory approvals and customs 

Replaced a screen back in 2013, replaced the fan early this year, was about to replace another screen, flash storage and top case on May but the process of part ordering here in Philippines is too tedious.
Apple decided to replace the entire unit
unlucky me, the replacement unit that i've received is experiencing backlit bleeding so it has been classified by Apple as DOA.
they've sent out another unit to replace the replacement unit.
currently i have my old mac and this DOA replacement unit in my possession 
will have to drop by the service provider next week to collect the new unit and return those currently in my possession.

i've collected my second replacement unit yesterday.
sad to find out that the screen bleeding issue is still appearing on this second unit.
the guys from AASP actually grabbed another unit that was available at their service centre and did the same test, found out that its also defective.
now they will raise this concern to Apple's Engineering team to check if this issue is just by batch or all of the displays are indeed defective.
Apple might recall those models effected, i'm waiting to hear from them next week

Hey guys, i need some advice from macbook user, whether or not this Mac OS is suitable for engineering student? Basically i will need engineering software like autoCAD, Aspen HYSYS and etc and not to forget tons of works in Microsoft office.

So, do you guys recommend me in getting the new macbook pro 13" or should i just get a windows based ultrabook?
