nah, will be sticking with my SP4 for now. Not much difference on the 2016 MB from the 2015 model to tempt me yet lol

But SP4 is heavy to use rite? And a lot of ppl purchased it as a 2 in 1 tablet and laptop but end up still use it as laptop only due to its heavy weight.

With keyboard it is slightly heavier than the MacBook, but I hardly use it as a tablet though. I bought it as a laptop replacement with tablet feature as a added bonus lol.
But when using as a tablet I'll usually just lay it on my lap or table with kickstand. Too heavy to hold for long, but quite useful for browsing and scrolling through websites via touchscreen.

yeah, that's the comments i read from most online reviewers, most do not really use SP4 as tablet most of the time, so in the end, even macbook is not a tablet but SP4 does not really pose extra advantage on this part over macbook.

The reason I chose SP4 over MacBook:
1) More powerful processor which is almost on par with rMBP 13"
2) More ports
3) Micro SD expansion
4) All above for almost the same size/weight as MacBook

As this is my daily driver, the above is a factor for me. But if you already have a main machine at home, then the MacBook is good enough without the above.

But why not rMBP instead of SP4.

I had before it ran into problems and after sending it to service center 3 times and still being unable to repair i had enough. Made Apple send me a brand new replacement and i sold it to get the SP4.
Still miss the OSX at times, and the classic rMBP looks. Who knows, maybe in the future i'll switch back hahah.

But as a photography enthusiast who travels a bit, the SP4 really ticks more boxes for now

I used to treat my Macbook as a tablet instead of a laptop haha.

Uhh... A tablet with no touchscreen?

Yep. Barely used it. And only use it when I want to search something. It sits beside my bed most of the time.

i plan to get a 2015 base model. may i know this 2015 model got any design problem as it was "first batch" ?

just use it to surf net and some office 365 work only.

No issue. Good for everyday usage.

ok, then i just go get a 2015 model will do, since the price is cheaper by 1k+.

by the way, macbook 2015 thread mana ah?

just do a search. it is buried underneath by all the newer thread.

my 2016 m7 512GB model will arrive by today.

Hi,

Do you guys know any alternative power adapter and usb c cable that I can use to power up my macbook? I currently use my macbook both at home and office, and I would prefer to have 2 sets of power adapters. The apple original adapter and cable is rather pricey at Rm229 + rm139, so I am looking if there is cheaper alternative.

i think if u have the usb-c to usb-c and any power adapter that can takes usb-c cable in it can charge no problem.

it is proven that even a power bank can charge it. so u do not really need any special power adapter to do that.

if u have cable such as usb-a to usb-c cable, then it is even better, any adapter can use.

Pinky macbook.
