Apple just refresh 2016 MacBook with sixth generation dual-core Intel Core M processors, bolstered Intel graphics, faster flash storage and what Apple claims is an extra hour of battery life.

I plan just to get the m5 core... any advise? 2015 unless u sell really cheap gua, if else it may not be easy to sell off I guess. I have seen review between the base 1.1 and 1.2 as well as 1.3 models. So far according to review, it does not really make significant difference, maybe like 10 to 15%. Unless u need the 512gb storage, else I guess no point to get any higher end model for the sake of cpu. I planned to get the new MacBook pro when it is out as well so I buy the base modeled this 12-inch and keep the extra to pay for it. This post has been edited by westlife: Apr 20 2016, 12:12 AM |

So i wondering my 2015 1.3ghz Intel Core M vs 2016 Intel M5 1.2ghz, which one stand out.. If the newest model win, how much different? Sky lake processor upgrade is not the major improvement. Instead, the graphic card improvement will be more significant. It is totally minor minor difference between the 2015 two base models. But I dun see a reason for u to upgrade from 2015 to 2016 one especially urs is the upgraded model. I dun go for 512GB model as compared to base model it is sgd500 I would rather save it to buy a mid range MacBook pro that I can get two MacBook to use. Processor upgrade is always not worth it as the performance improvement is really really small that is not even noticeable. So sgd500 is mainly for the extra 256gb ssd.

Primate Labs founder John Poole also shared 32-bit Geekbench 3 results for the new 12-inch MacBook (1.2GHz configuration) that confirms around a 15% bump in CPU performance compared to the equivalent 2015 model. The new 12-inch MacBook earned a single-core score of 2,670 and a multi-core score of 5,252, compared to 2,303 and 4,621 for the last-generation model. |

But it can still get better for sure. Apple will definitely do some major changes which is redesign for the MacBook pro line. And their style is always to make things lighter and thinner.Plus, retinal MacBook replaces MBP as highly portable device. As a consequence, MBP stays indoor, so weight is no longer a matter.... So not to surprised if it is really getting a lot thinner or lighter. |

I just am not surprise if they did not make it thinner or lighter. So not to surprised if it is really getting a lot thinner or lighter. You see few months ago we discussed regarding possible upgrades in this 2nd generation of MacBook. As what I've predicted, they only upgraded the processor and battery life. And I was correct. MBP's main feature is its powerfulness. Size and weight are not its strength. That's why MBA and retinal MacBook came in. With regards to MBA, I'm not very sure where Apple would position it. Low end product? |

You see few months ago we discussed regarding possible upgrades in this 2nd generation of MacBook. As what I've predicted, they only upgraded the processor and battery life. And I was correct. MBP's main feature is its powerfulness. Size and weight are not its strength. That's why MBA and retinal MacBook came in. With regards to MBA, I'm not very sure where Apple would position it. Low end product? MacBook just come out totally brand new redesign last year. So at least next 2-3 years may not have major redesign except spec bump like what retina MacBook pro has done for the past few years since the redesign at 2012. MacBook air could be potentially a abundant product like the non-retina MacBook pro 13-inch then just once in a while having small minor spec bump or price drop. Air has no value to most users who prefer nice outlook nice screen no nice power except for budget users. Apple may just simply keep the air like non-retina MacBook air in line without much upgrade just to fulfill the budgeted group of users. The poor screen of air really cannot much appetite from most ppl now. Apple had done the upgrade of MacBook air 13-inch with just 8gb ram standard instead of upgrading to skylake processor could probably show this. MacBook 12-inch has the name of MacBook instead of anything else, which it could potentially mean that apple will have it as the base product eventually for MacBook. If air eventually not there. Apple can just simply have a MacBook pro that combines the form factor like air and retain power like current MBP for the ultra book line. I supposed apple will really do redesign this round as it is really long time since last design. Else they may have release speed bump product like MacBook 12-inch. If purely speed bump I do not see a reason why Apple has yet to release the skylake MacBook pro. This post has been edited by westlife: Apr 24 2016, 11:27 PM |

And going to xcode, while coding i can see some lags. Bearable lags.I am getting skylake MacBook pro also. Probably might buy a 2nd hand mac mini first before getting Skylake MBP. |

Hi all skylake Macbook 2016 users
I already read many reviews online but all very general.. have a few questions before purchasing this macbook, hope can get some tips from you guys.. I mainly use this macbook for: 1) traveling 2) email, word processing (this one no problem to handle for sure) 3) adobe lightroom for RAW photo editing (mainly edit some photos when traveling) 4) adobe premiere pro for 1080p editing, files from DSLR (not main machine, but must be able to use when in need) Questions: I have MBP 15inch for my heavy usage, this new macbook mainly use it when traveling, and use as backup in case of anything urgent and when I do not have my MBP with me... 1) can this Macbook 2016 handle Premiere Pro editing? maybe loading a 400-800 video files from DSLR, combining clips with music, one layer color adjustment.. I do not use this Macbook as my main machine but in urgent case, can this Macbook handle the job? I do not mind minor lag when playback directly from timeline, I can pause and play again, as long as it doesn't lag when i preview the files and place the files in the timeline 2) can this Macbook 2016 handle my Adobe lightroom work? 3) based on my usage, I planning to get the 256GB SSD model, should I get m3 or m7? I read a lot online, some said not necessary, some said must.. When I need to perform editing in Lightroom and Premiere, the extra CPU Ghz will make any different? Thanks a lot in advance |

Thanks a lot in advance 1) Yes this MacBook can handling premier pro editing, no lag/delay for me, i am an mass communication student have to do video editing. However when export it too slightly longer time than my Early-2011 15 inch Macbook Pro. -My 2011 Macbook Pro cannot support me anymore on year 2015, using premier pro and some software is lagging and delay even with the quad-core, i7 intel chips. (This is why i get the 2015 MacBook) -But for exporting, my MBP 2011 is doing better job (but sometimes it crash/hang) 2) No comments, never use that 3) For me, i will not get the base model, go for 500GB SSD model at least (however, people would say if you have that budget, you should get Macbook Pro) -But I getting Macbook for the weight and design This post has been edited by Boykidz93: Apr 25 2016, 04:15 PM |

hi,
I planning to get the MacBook 2016. I trying to search the Intel Core M vs normal core i3/i5/i7 processor. I hardly find good comparison between this processor. Intel core M is currently is more likely equal to which category of normal Core i processor? in term of grapic performance, can it handle light gaming like Dota 2? |

As for Photoshop as long as not heavy editing (multiple layers, filters etc) with loads of RAWs should be relatively smooth. I'd recommend to choose at least the M5 or M7 model though. |

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. |

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. |

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 cannot really feel much difference in terms of the performance. at most it is just slightly (very minor) difference in terms of performance would say. I checked the task manager, performance tab, the cpu utilization is high also most of the time at around 5x% to 6x% even without the cpu boost (meaning running at 0.9 to 1.0x GHz...).m5 isn't that far off in performance from m7 unless you are planning to sell the m5? given the fact that of the macbook pro rumour yesterday which the new macbook pro 2016 will be released on Q4 2016 plus there will be a 13 inch retina macbook. I guess i will proceed to refund my this m7 machine. if there is a 13 inch retina macbook i feel it is a better machine to own. Or if the new macbook pro is really that thinner and lighter, i feel it should be better to own too given that it will have more ports, touch id, etc features. |

QUOTE(ajax91 @ May 26 2016, 08:13 PM) should i upgrade to newer MBA or macbook 12"? MacBook air is a waste of time now given its before 2012 standard of screen.i dont mind core m but... how to survive with just one port? and the apple logo no longer glows A good display makes a significant user experience. Any screen without retina as of 2016 is a totally waste of time. U should go for MacBook 12-inch or retina MacBook pro no matter how. |

If they want to do so, they would have done it since 2012. MacBook pro got its retina display since 2012. Now with the retina MacBook that is thinner and lighter than MacBook air, it makes it even more redundant. Apple probably won't discontinue it so soon but 'leave it as it is' like MacBook pro without retina display to those that prefer to save the little for a much low spec machine. |

A lot of ppl complaint about the rMB keyboard mostly due to the fact that either they totally never use it before commenting and just purely base on other's saying or picture. Or a lot of them do not really own one to use the keyboard long enough to comment. The keyboard is definitely not bad. Fast keyboard to use.Everyone complained about the keyboard, but when I tried it out when my iPhone was being serviced at a genius bar, I got to play with the rMBP and the MB and realized that I actually prefer the MB typing experience because it is faster haha |

For Mac I need to press F3 to switch between apps. Been a long long time windows user, and switched to mac for 5 years now.If you're familiar with Windows, switching apps can be done with alt+tab, or Windows+tab. In Mac, command+tab works exactly the same as alt+tab in windows, and you don't even need to have your right hand leaving the touch pad to press f3, swipe up with 3 fingers you can see all apps. There's also a function you can enable in touchpad, swipe down with 3 fingers you can see all tabs within the same app. Let's say you have many Finder window opened along other apps and want to see only all the Finder tabs, swipe down with 3 fingers. The touchpad gesture is what makes me a convert, haven't experience anything like that in Windows environment. The work flow is much better than windows since I switched which was around windows 7 time. Now I dunno if windows improved, but Windows 10 on my dad's desktop sure looked complicated...

I gave up trying to charge using a powerbank until I can get a new powerbank that'll be able to pump out 3A or higher from the USB type C port.  |

QUOTE(TomWillis @ Jun 3 2016, 11:37 PM) Is it a good idea to get this new macbook and a 21inch monitor for my home usage? If you want native C to C, can try the new LG monitor. I can't remember how many inches and the model number as well. But it's plug and play. Just get the stock charging cable and plug it in from Laptop to Monitor. Also, the USB C port from the Monitor can charge your laptop at the same time.I'll need a laptop to carry around so iMac is out of the question... |

QUOTE(art6969 @ Jun 7 2016, 10:11 AM) have u try this? Ya the Xiaomi power bank looks good, 3.6A output, lightweight, and at least they're quite clear that it can only charge while the Macbook is not in use. Will wait a bit while the world catches up on USB type-C connectors. |

Will wait a bit while the world catches up on USB type-C connectors. The 3.6A output is for both ports on the Xiaomi power bank right? So it is like 1.8A max per port? This MacBook 12 Retina is tempting to me as well. Am waiting to see what appears in WWDC for the MBP before I decide. If they do release a Space Grey MBP, then my money's on that. Else, MacBook it is! |

QUOTE(shockk @ Jun 7 2016, 12:37 PM) The 3.6A output is for both ports on the Xiaomi power bank right? So it is like 1.8A max per port? Typically the newer power banks can deliver sometimes up to 4A total. If you're only plugging in one port then if they follow the USB standard around 3A or slightly more can go to one port. It's only split when you plug in more devices.The new USB Type-C comes with a new USB power delivery v2.0 standard however, which allows for higher voltage (9V/15V/20V). I would guess that new powerbanks implementing the new USB Power Delivery v2.0 will be more appropriate when using with USB Type-C devices like the Macbook and future MBP. I'm happy to wait a few more months to see how this progresses and buy a new powerbank then. |

what's the best adapter for this macbook 2016?
i want the vga/hdmi and few USB 3.0 ports all in one including SXDC card reader? Got such thing? How much is the price? i believe Macbook line will totally replace MBA as Macbook IS the MBA now. Light, ultrathin, very portable albeit with one USB C port.  |

Since m5 most price difference is for the ssd, the rm414 is actually very minimal comparing to the extra speed boost for turbo boost 2.7GHz vs 2.2GHz. I had installed windows 10 on boot camp. I allocate 128gb to is x while the rest goes to bootcamp for my 512gb hardisk. I would say that for serious work user, 256gb can be very little in long run.

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.

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... |

What's the best usb c adapter for macbook?
i've been reading bad reviews of the Apple's official multi AV port. Saying sometimes USB-A port doesnt work or the HDMI or VGA port doesnt work too. Is there any alternative that the adapter WILL WORK flawlessly? But come to think of it, can that 1 USB-C sufficiently power all those third party multi ports? I mean you gotta need an external power to power up those SD card reader, multi USB-A ports and such? I am somewhat eyeing on Macbook 2016 baseline model for my typical day to day lecturing work & some light photo editing. You think 1.1ghz m3 will do just fine? and also running windows 10 via boot camp, possible? |

If yes, even my Macbook Pro Retina 13" struggles with it as well. If it is for casual edits and minor single or double file edits, then it is ok to go with the new Macbook. Make sure to spec up enough HDD space as well as max out on the RAM. |

I am still struggling among MacBook 2016, Macbook Air or Macbook Pro13".
Usually I do a bit of light video & photo editting, which I need to have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro in my laptop. The weight of Macbook 2016 is really suitable for me to carry here and there. Is it suitable for me if I want to install Parallel in it and do some light editing work? Thank you. |

QUOTE(khaishin @ Jul 10 2016, 07:51 PM) I am still struggling among MacBook 2016, Macbook Air or Macbook Pro13". What do you primarily edit? 1080p is fine. 1080p with rotor masking, gonna wait a while. Usually I do a bit of light video & photo editting, which I need to have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro in my laptop. The weight of Macbook 2016 is really suitable for me to carry here and there. Is it suitable for me if I want to install Parallel in it and do some light editing work? Thank you. 4K is possible. But scrubbing in 4K is a laggy. Render times, not so great. Depending on output codecs. If you get the new MacBook, want to edit 4K, I suggest you buy an external SSD, Samsung T1, T2 or T3, all work fine. But T1 is the best bang for the buck, this is considering you have spare cash to get one. MacBook Pro 13, you MUST at least get 256GB. Read and write speeds are double of the 128GB. Also you might need to get the SSD to edit 4K comfortably anyway. Take your pick. |

The previous retina MacBook Pro 15-inh 2015 I had used. Less than few months a lot of the keys have a layer of stains which I really hate to see. So I prefer to use the protector to protect it. Anyway I had used one cheapo brand protector on 12-inch retina MacBook, feel is not that good. This Moishi feel a lot better. No, I dun prefer their ivisor screen protector, prefer the original screen. As Moishi ivisor is matte one, so after apply it the screen will not look as sharp as it supposed to be as a retina display. I feel it wasted the screen of it. Last time my iPhone I like to use matte screen protector too. After using tempered glass which it does not affect the sharpness of the screen. I never go back to matte screen protector anymore. |

What I love most is the case, whenever I use the macbook before the case applied I always need to be extra careful even putting the macbook on the table to prevent for any possible chance of scratches. Now with this case on, I can use the macbook as per normal without much worries or scratch or dent. It is light and thin enough that does not really affect much comparing to use it without case. |

Planning to learn some basic photo and video editing if I buy Macbook (0 knowledge in editing). but normal 1080p can with no issues. but might be sluggish when you scrub through the timeline. In my time of having the '15 MacBook 256GB, editing was pretty alright for me. 4k was uneditable for me lol. My playback was only like 10 fps lol I bought myself an editing SSD and now I dont even have to put up with shitty frames also rendering times will be a lot longer on the '15 MacBook, this is due to the Core M processor.

In my opinion, no difference whether you buy from online or physical store. However, I feel that it's better to buy it from a physical store. You can get help from the sales reps and also, you can inspect the item on the spot for any possible hardware defect or software complications. |

I buy online as the shop will give you ZERO service apart from a machine that's dead out of the box or has a scratch (and what are the chances of that?). |

Ultimately I paid for it and I can tell, it's quite worth it. Gotten rid of my Magic Mouse 1Been keeping me up at night for a weeks, thinking if i should get it lol. I have two rooms now, one is my man cave with all the right gear and the other is a social area. Quite a hassle to move everything around just to set up comfortably. i want to have two spaces to work on, man cave = pure work and casual gaming and social = casual work and communication problem is i only have 1 mouse and 1 keyboard worth spending that much money on the MM2? |

I think it's going to be costly to replace every single one of these devices to the 2nd gen ... not really worth it
Might be better to just carry the batteries since you can recharge them anyway This post has been edited by sookk: Jul 27 2016, 09:48 AM |

Because of the new 2nd generation, I bought a couple of older 1st generation (keyboard and trackpad) to use at home for my TV. Saved a lot more compared to buying the newer versions.

QUOTE(stevenlee @ Jul 27 2016, 01:11 PM) bro, Yup ... Acer H277HU ... bought it from Harvey Norman (on the first day it was released) .. is the LCD that u using is the latest from ACER come with USB C connection? where you get it? and how much it cost? http://www.harveynorman.com.my/computers-a...white-gold.html They are selling at RM 2299 The USB-C cable that comes with the monitor is simply HORRIBLE. So low quality ... very easy to spoil. Mine is already spoiled and Acer cannot even get a replacement for you because there is no stock available. I suggest you invest in some better quality USB-C to USB-C cable if you ever want to use this monitor. Here, I use the Innergie USB-C to USB-C .... much much better than the Acer one. 
And the best thing is the other USB stuff I can connect to the monitor and it will be linked to my MacBook via the USB-C cable. So I extended the USB further with a J5Create USB-Hub.

Hey guys, where do you all buy your adapters (tried some Machines store and couldn't find any) and accessories?
They keyboard is actually pretty good but I'm getting a lot of oil on it because of my fingers. and wow I really love the m7 performance. It handles RAW files almost as well as my windows desktop on lightroom (for applying heavy presets) This post has been edited by Decky: Aug 1 2016, 07:53 PM |

The best adapter so far isn't made by Apple .... personally, if you ask me ... Apple adapters are overpriced and not very functional .... try getting this:They keyboard is actually pretty good but I'm getting a lot of oil on it because of my fingers. and wow I really love the m7 performance. It handles RAW files almost as well as my windows desktop on lightroom (for applying heavy presets) http://minix.com.hk/en/products/neo-c-usb-...ltiport-adapter I believe if you search for it, you can find someone selling it. It has more ports (ports that you will need) and much cheaper than getting the Apple adapter. |

Just bought a brand new Apple MacBook 12-inch 2016
 First thing first, laptop protector of course! Got this sleeve from a local seller because of the simplicity. So far so good, can't complain much with just RM30 The charger pouch is a good add on as I have always have problem keeping my previous charger. I found them on Facebook and the best part is they deliver to your doorstep. https://www.facebook.com/themotiflab         Ps. Photos are all taken from their website. I do not own any of these. Just wanted to share with you guys what I got  |
