11" is way too small screen size to be productive.

Do check out my thread if you guys are interested in purchasing Macbook 12 Inch, I am selling it here for a huge discount:

not space grey, not interested.

Space grey is still the nicest..

yeah. best color ever for a macbook.

definitely will get one on hand soon when it releases next year.

I bought the 2015 MBP13 128gb and loved it. Got a great deal at Best Buy for $1099. Met all my expectations but seemed a little heavy. Screen was awesome and processing power was more than I needed. I use 2016 MS Office for Mac, Safari, SkillSoft player for online classes, Virtual Box and VMware for C++ coding, mail, youtube, facebook, sonos, xcode. Battery life was great, but I thought I wanted more.

I exchanged it for a 2015 MacBook Air 128gb. Awesome deal on this...$799 at Best Buy (my timing was great). The screen was not as good as the retina display but the battery life and thinness/lightness was better. Even though the Air was a little taller than the pro, it was thinner and just felt better to carry...also it is .5 pounds lighter. Battery life was insane...I went 8 hours using the programs above and still had over 40% battery life. I never carried the charger. I used this for about 30 days and the screen began to wear on me. My iPad Air 2 retina display was awesome and I wanted that on my laptop.

I exchanged the Air for a SG rMB 256gb. The screen is awesome, the speakers are way better than the pro and Air, and the size was perfect. I bought it for $1099 ($150 sale + $50 student discount). This came with 8gb ram and 256gb HD. The extra 128gb is easily worth $200, so if there was a 128gb model it would probably be about $899 including the discounts, putting it between the Air and pro. The tradeoff is size/weight vs processing power/battery life. I did not notice any significant speed difference between how my programs ran on the rMB vs the pro or the Air. My programs must not be very processor intensive and the 8gb ram and ssd helps a lot. If I was ripping DVDs or playing graphic intensive games, of course this would not be the machine I would pick. The battery life is easily close to 8-9 hours with my use.

To me, the size outweighed the faster processor and slight increase in battery life. This machine is awesome...its hard to explain but I like carrying it around the house and using it in bed or on the couch. It is not much bigger than my Air 2 and has a great keyboard. I know experts say that for the price, the pro has the best bang for the buck, but I think you need to prioritize what characteristics are most important to you and what programs you will run on it. The safe bet is to get the pro because it will run everything better, but if the rMB will run your program fine then find a good deal and get the rMB...that's what I did.

where do you buy it at $1099 ($150 sale + $50 student discount)?

that someone in other country which comment about decision to buy or not new macbook, i just take it comment

icic.

yeah i agreed with the comments.

if want balanced machine in terms of portability, power, spec etc -> 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display
nice looking, special, light-weight, most portable, decent power and quite good spec -> 12-inch retina MacBook

That depends on what you're actually programming. Simple stuff is a breeze on the MacBook 12". But if you're the hardcore editor and needs to constantly render stuffs like I do. Then I highly suggest you grab a MacBook Pro 15" WITH the discrete card. Don't buy the MacBook Pro without the discrete card. It's a complete waste of money buying that. There just isn't enough cuda cores to render things out. Needless to say about the MacBook 12", you'll run out of battery before you finish rendering. 😂️ I desperately need a MacBook Pro 15" but just sadly I don't have enough money to buy one.

Harvey Norman for now, from wat I understand, offer three years warranty. I thk tat will save 8++. Is it worth ?

Im taking that from harvey norman 1+2 year, harvey norman give RM450 instead of RM850 normal price. For me i think even apple product so far so good in term of their quality but for the price almost 5k of this product, it should have more than 1 year warranty

if it is free for extended 2 more years warranty, i think quite worth it.

when did you buy it and price for the macbook?

Ended october, base model Rm4769

how come so cheap the price? tot price increased sometimes back?

i bought last stock in harvey norman, last stock with old price

Ic. Very good deal. That time is still very cheap for Malaysia pricing.

Hi, the info I get is with the purchase, get extended warranty from Harvey for three years (first year both party, second and third year from Harvey), for FREE. Means paying 45xx for MBA 13" 128gb 4gb ram model and get the warranty offer.i go over later this evening to check again.

try ask harvey norman what different their extended warranty compare with applecare
