If it is not enough now, it will be greater challenger as the OS and app size will grow even larger in size in future.

Wow pretty shitty repair from Mac City 1 utama.
Received my rMBP last week after sending in for repair. Less than a week received it back after they found:
1) SSD Card Port failed (Replaced I/O board)
2) System Error (Advice to reformat hard disk)

So after 2 days of using my returned rMBP, the SAME PROBLEM happened again!
Here are some nice pretty colourful pics to share...

So i did a diagnostic test and got this, which i'm sure is not the reason for the colourful screens, but still... battery problems after 5 months?? FFS

Sent back my rMBP to Mac City for repair and wasn't too happy. The counter staff wasn't that friendly and insisted previously there was a system error which requires a reformat and i didn't allow them to reformat hence the problem. RIGHT, like i'd pay them RM150 just to reformat when i could do it myself.

Just called them again on the status and i was told that my Logic Board had problems and they just ordered a replacement which will take a week.
Seriously? They didn't detect that during the 1st service? What kind of sloppy diagnostic service did they conduct the first time?

Not happy with Apple so far... had been using Dell notebooks for more than a decade and all my notebooks last me at least 4 years without any issues while a 5 month old rMBP is giving me crap..

hello guys. new macbook pro user here! biggrin.gif after 16 years of using Windows platform, now i made a jump to give Mac OS a try.

so far, im getting a good experience with this sexy thing. from the very start of booting my macbook, i already amazed with its speed. damn weh 3 seconds to get into login. not gonna happen in Windows platform. haha

Casual usage like web browsing, watching movies, listening to music while doing my work, are quite smooth. Later I will try how this macbook handle development tools and adobe stuff like android studio, localhost, photoshop, AI, etc.

as a new macbook user, there are couple of things that i want to know:

1. is it safe if I installed cracked apps? (appdn.net, cmacapps.com, macbed.com)
2. Do I need any antivirus software installed on my macbook?
3. Is it a must to install utility, optimizer apps like cleanmymac?
4. should i buy applecare? is it worth it?

I have googled those questions. just want to know opinions from you guys too. smile.gif thanks. smile.gif

Question number 1 and 3? haha biggrin.gif

is there any specific period of time for buying the applecare? my friends said that you can only buy the applecare for your macbook while it still under the 1-year warranty. If out of warranty, you cannot apply the applecare on your macbook. can you confirm on this?

thanks.

We need to get together and lodge a formal complaint against Mac City. Get Apple to drop them as an AASP because they're doing such a piss poor job.
