The price is still high...
Haven't saved enough money for this yet...
btw, what's the difference between base model, 1.2 and the 1.3 spec? I mean in terms of performance...

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 ).

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 see... I'm also considering dropping Apple care...

Nope. I'm considering Space Grey as my iPhone and iPad are same colour...
Rose gold is not for me... Plus, in my work place there is pantang towards anything looks red and its related colours...

Actually not really needed always at the moment (probably needed only after 2 years)... Just once a while for presentation purposes...
Carrying my MBP around is tiring (my job is not 8-hour-sitting-in-an-office job)... And iPad use is limited especially when transferring files and other data which is always painful experience...

Yup. It's super heavy. Even though it's just a base model...

They will make it 0.1kg lighter...

0.1kg is significant ok...

6% weight reduction woh...
Plus, retinal MacBook replaces MBP as highly portable device. As a consequence, MBP stays indoor, so weight is no longer a matter....

I just am not surprise if they did not make it 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?

Wah, so rich to get second one?
Or is this your third?

Still rich....
Mind to sponsor me a bit?

I'm broke now....

That's because Apple Care.
It is automatically activated on the day your purchase was processed.

I usually wouldn't recommend purchase from third party website, unless you can check the product directly:
If there is any defect, you might have a bit problem to change.
How good would you trust third party websites?

Spent too much for something which turned out not much return...

Alternatively you can just purchase the Apple Care after you received the item.

Just curious....
How's the performance of SPSS on this retina MacBook? (if anyone has experienced)

Something academic...

a program for data analysis
