Yes, plan to get one to use at home and one to use for daily commute to work.

i had sold off my highest end mid 2015 macbook pro 15-inch to get the 12-inch MB+ 13-inch MBP instead. tongue.gif

Yup. It is cheaper.

Rm4599 price is really good, but I would rather spend the extra sgd121 to get the 2016 model.

Just consider the 2015 model, price discount not bad.

Around 21%++ for the both models now if comparing to standard retail price. Quite ok if u use it as a secondary machine.

RM600 difference with processor upgrade, I would consider the new version.
But I'm still in doubt which one to take: base and 1.3
And consider RM 7013 vs RM 7798 if comparing both 1.3 upgrade with apple care, but the former with flash space 256 the other one 512... RM 785 difference for disc space doubled, is it worth?

RM 6324 vs RM 7110 without apple care... RM 786 difference for disc space... Do I really need this Apple care? (I have iMac late 2009 and MBP late 2011, but so far I've never encounter any problem where I need Apple care) Should I bare the risk without it?

Oops... Forgot to say: The above price are based on Education Store price as I'm eligible (though I knew Apple will only pick up lucky ones to check whether they are really eligible. I'm really eligible this time tongue.gif).

Rm785 with double space actually quite ok. Normally 256 to 512 apple charge extra rm900 minimuly.

Actually 512gb is better, but I only intend to use it as a secondary machine that easy to carry around to office or during travel.

Serious work I am planning to get another new MacBook pro retina when it is released.

So you advocate 256 for going-around use?
Did you include Apple Care in your purchase?
Or have you heard any problem with regards the 2015 version of MacBook?

I am not buying apple care. I would prefer to bear the risk to save the money for the MacBook pro that I am getting.
