thinking of buying the new Macbook pro without the touch bar, but still can't decide. Has anyone bought it but regret??

or has anyone bought the one with touch bar but regret?

both the laptop and usb cable (multi port adapter) i use are by apple. so in any case, i should claim warranty for either of these devices.

that's why i said, that's the nature of usb-c port, usb-a or lighting, no matter what brand or what cables u use, the experience is more or less same.

but usb-c the experience is terrible.

i said it become loose, because when i first use there is no such issues, so it is not about the make of the cable, but something has turned loose indeed after 10 months of usage. this is confirmed. becos it is not something loose all the time but it only happened now.

Hi? Were there some negative comments on the MPp keyboard?

How's is tat?

Hi, any recommendation for accessories like USB C hub?
I need to connect to projector through VGA and pendrive/hard disc through USB. Please advice.

old keyboard much better. just my opinion.

i think this suit your needs. it come with VGA, HDMI, USB and LAN

Shared is similar to your network in Windows machine.
Try checking your devices in your network with the name smobile.
It can also be your router machine.

only the macbook, my phone is connected to the p1 mobile broadband. checked the network, no other device.
this is weird, or maybe im just too new

Probable it is your P1 mobile broadband device, as suggested by the name smobile.

so any mifi device that i connect to will show up here on the shared tab? even its just mifi device without any file sharing capabilities?
i thought only devices that we share files with will show

Not really. It depends on your device setting...

Guys, please comment on my usage behaviour. I used to stay in office much. Therefore whenever I at office. I'll plug in the power cable all the time even the battery is 100%, I'll unplug when I go toilet, lunch and home. Is this the correct way?

Don't worry about the battery. It can last over 1000 cycles and that by itself is a lot. I keep it on battery while using it at home as well.

I see. Thanks

Most owner here is w TB?
How is the experience so far? 30% Useful and 70% gimmick?
Contemplating the 2 choices.
Was thinking rather spend the extra 1k for accessories instead.

you not just paying rm 1k for the tb only.

i would opt for non tb but due to different of cpu speed and most importantly, no of usb c, i vote for tb.

absolutely gimmicky for me. I'm only using the touchID. Maybe i'm not a pro user.

Reason: It's distracting as you need to look down at the TB. Even keyboard I don't type fast, but I can touch type without looking down.

Don't think of the TB being 1k more. It's the CPU, more ports, graphics card, faster memory.

I tried the CPU, felt some slowness. Opted for the touchbar model instead.

However, if you could wait, why not wait longer if Apple decides to release newer models this year.

It boils down to what you gonna do with your MBP. I use nTB MBP. I'm not a programmer or do editing stuff. But i run W10 in virtualbox to run macro in excel sheet and Excel Force using Jave in IE. The MBP lags. The processor can't handle it. Even when on light usage on virtualbox, it's not smooth.

I'm still new to Max OS as well so i can't really say whether changing my virtualbox would make any difference. I sometimes play FM17 and the fan starts running not even 5mins after started. The graphic and processing speed is rated at 3/5 stars. Otherwise, for casual use with normal dropbox, evernote, Excel, Word, i have no complain.

For 1k difference, TB 13" looks better on paper though it's not that much. You pay for better processor, more ports (though i find 2 ports is sufficient)
