You can try Skin Plus Malaysia. Look them up on Facebook. Their outlet is located in Ikano Power Centre, IIANM.

As for me, I'm planning to order from Slickwraps some time this month.

Haha. Exactly my thoughts as well. happy.gif

And even if they scratch the MacBook Pro, you probably will not be able to see it since they would have applied the skin over it. rclxub.gif

I rather just have skins like DBrand or SlickWraps which do not require blades.

Btw, just FYI, the price of Skin Plus Malaysia for a full body skin on the MacBook Pro is a whopping RM488 based on the price list I saw at their booth last week. icon_rolleyes.gif

You sure they did not confuse a MacBook Pro with an iPad or Tablet? brows.gif

Here's the price list I saw. RM488 for full body colour skin for MacBook Pro.

Or perhaps after nego or asking them online, it can be much cheaper. hmm.gif

1) not necessary. but still be aware of what you install. make sure your firewall is turned on. i'd also recommend to only allow apps downloaded from app store (under system preferences > security & privacy). you can change this temporarily when you need it.

2) normal smile.gif

I just tested Innergie PowerGear 45w USB C charger with the base macbook pro 2016 non touch bar, it works but with a caveat..

if you connect the charger directly to the macbook, it will not work, but if you connect to a usb c hub with powerdelivery.. it will work and charge at the rate of 40w.. which i find good enough to charge ..

so now i just leave the hub and innergie powergear in the office.. ori apple charger at home..

i have a single cable docking in the office.. connect the 1 usb c cable..i have hdmi out, usb A hub, and power .. awesome..

Sounds neat. How much did you buy it for, and from where?

Probably towards the end of 2017?

Anyway, if Apple cannot improve the battery capacity in the MacBook Pro for the next refresh, battery performance will still be pretty similar to the current range of MacBook Pros.

The thing is, the chassis in the MacBook Pro is just too compact to allow for any large battery capacity to be placed in, unless of course Apple rearranges the Logic Board to make way for a bigger battery or through technological improvements in battery sizes (like how the sheet-style battery was implemented with the MacBook Retina 12-inch).

Thanks. Very reasonable price for a MacBook charger (together with cable too).
Looks awesome to boot! rclxms.gif

Now if only they would release a higher watt output version for the MacBook Pros. unsure.gif

Just placed order for the MacBook Pro skin from XtremeSkins UK. biggrin.gif

After comparing a lot with other pre-cut stickers like DBrand and SlickWraps, I believe that XtremeSkins still offers the better overall deal (full body, more customisation options for colour/ on diff areas).

For those of you who want a better typing experience, you guys can consider the Anne Pro wireless bluetooth mechanical keyboard that can be paired with the MacBook Pro too! 👌🏻

Don't need any messy cables. 🤣

Here's some pictures of my setup with custom keys.

Any retail locations one can pick up that keyboard in Malaysia? It looks good. I did a google search and most results show a RGB version which I am not too keen on.
