QUOTE(jumpstat @ Feb 25 2016, 10:02 AM) There are lemons as this is a product. However issues do crop up but you must appreciate that those without issues are in many numbers. I for one is very happy with it (mine is the 2014 model) although there is some issue with the screen anti reflective coating. But for me it does not affect the operation so I'm good. But everything else is tip top. Just a note, ensure you go for the min hard of 256Gb or more. and 16Gb ram is best for best experience. All the best in your choices. hi, I just got my rmbp 13 today. R u facing the screen anti reflective coating issue? Is there any way to prevent it or is apple malaysia got free replacement? scaryyyy... >< my first 6k device.

Can only see it when the screen is off. If the damage effects the quality, then I am going to claim warranty. So far I am still good.

QUOTE(1234kingbling @ Feb 28 2016, 10:58 AM) Guys, need some advice, I have been planning to get a Macbook Pro for some time now. Waiting for the new one. However its been a really long wait. Hopefully we hear something during the apple event in March. The thing is, this new macbook will price around 6k give or take. With this price, there are tons of windows based laptops that will far surpass the macbook's performance. You get really good graphics, SSD options even at half the price. So my question is , is it really worth getting a mac? Because with a windows laptop with top specs, i can game easily( not my priority ), will be able to edit videos, the usual office documents. Thank you for your time. Cheers. Was thinking of the exact same thing. Anyone?

I remember this issue when I first received my rMBP. It is very awkward at first as both the left and right USB sometimes ok sometimes not ok (reading). Then I restarted the rMBP. Its woud then be able to detect it. This issue was intermittent but after a few restarts, the USB works well. Same goes with external drives etc. At first it cannot detect. Do a restart its ok after that. Try that.

QUOTE(Nicklly @ Mar 7 2016, 10:00 AM) like this very difficult lo - every time need to restart I would imagine, the notebook requires to load the drivers for each type of hardware that is connected to it. Once all the drivers loaded, there wont be any issues. Only earlier days got issue on mine, now no issues. But on the other hand if it still persist, then might as well send it in for diagnosis.

Did anyone upgrade their applecare protection plan? Not sure if I want to get it, my complimentary applecare is expiring soon.
