why regret? already refunded. 😜

I am eligible to buy any Mac for this promo again.

Malaysia apple online always have no such promo like other country.

Think Apple comes out this promo to clear the existing Mac models.
Last time apple also gives free iPod touch with Mac purchase.

The last time apple did give promotion was 4 years ago...

It all depends on the destination.
Based on my previous experience, the parcel will definitely travel to KLIA, then Hong Kong/Shenzhen before reaching Penang.

Usually transit won't be long, even transit in Shenzhen/HK, it only takes approx 10-12 hours before reaching the airport of destination.
My Time Capsule, iPhone etc... all took long route...

PS: Shenzhen/HK is the regional hub of UPS.

2. hide ext
3. mail password not stay (using my iCloud account which tie to my hotmail add, the apps not allow to add another same address. everything run the mail apps, hv to manually enter hotmail password in to mail setting)
4. bluetooth mouse sluggish
5. keyboard light - looking way to turn on the keyboard light when power up

1. You can create permission by right clicking the folder > Get info > Sharing & Permission
2. Click on Finder > Preferences > Advanced > uncheck Show all filename extensions
3. Go to System Preferences > Internet Accounts and set up your mail there. (Not very sure if you mean this)
4. Go to System Preference > Mouse and adjust the speed there
5. I don't know. I haven't restarted my MBP since last year.

    not working as my apple ID is my hotmail account. thus my iCloud ID also my hotmail account... i can't set up mail again as already use it for my iCloud log in. when i add email account it say account already add. i try to check the box on mail at my iCloud service, it not able to pull my email as the my password not able to stay. i hv to re enter my hotmail password every time i log in my mail apps
*
Then I think you will have to manually hide the file extensions yourself:
Right click to Get Info > Name and extensions > Check Hide extension

I really not sure what happened to your mail. I'm using gmail as my apple ID and I can log into both iCloud and Gmail separately.
Try remove everything and redo:
After you have added your iCloud, add your hotmail account by adding under "Mail account"...
(Alternatively is to login as xxx@icloud.com instead of xxx@hotmail.com when you setting up your iCloud account)

If I log in using iCloud ID will all my purchase made under my Hotmail account reflected ??

Should not be a problem as your xxx@icloud.com is the same account as your xxx@hotmail.com under iCloud. They are the same Apple ID.

You do not need to anymore. Just set up keychain and everything will be automatically available (including your email settings, passwords) once you have logged into your iCloud account in your other Apple devices in the future.

By the way, how to check which email ID or account use to log in my MacBook ?? I only see my name during at log in page .. Any way to see the email address suing for log in ??
*
Please do not confuse yourself. You are not using an email ID/Apple ID to log into your MacBook. The username for login your MacBook works only locally in your MacBook and have nothing to do with your Apple ID/email ID.
In case you want to find out, just go to System Preferences > Users & Groups
You can also change your login settings there.

In short, it is a password management feature of iCloud where you can save all your accounts and their passwords you frequently use onto iCloud.
For further info, you can search from google and youtube.

guy,
if i want to uninstall apps, is it just click the apps in the applications then move to trash?

Use AppCleaner... It helps you to clear up caches and other leftovers together. Ordinary drag-to-trash doesn't help you to do this.

i noticed quite serious lagging on the mouse movement while i project the screen on extended mode to the projector. the mouse moves super slow and laggy while on the extended screen, but when i move the mouse back to the macbook display it is ok. This is strange as i do not have the same problem when i use the macbook 2015. but it happens on macbook 2016. I am using the VGA for projection via the original apple multi-av adapter.

That's because of your graphic card/GPU.

so macbook 2016 is poorer than 2015 one? because i had use the base model m3 macbook 2015. no problem at all even i use extended mode to project.

Not sure.
My experience is with my iMac late 2009 and MBP late 2011.
I have similar problem with my iMac, but ok with my MBP.
The former had lesser GPU RAM, only 256MB; the latter had 512MB of GPU ram...
Another difference is of course the processor: the former is quad core; the latter is Core i5...
