gentlemen,

This is my first experience with macbook after numerous dell product.
As I went through multiple forums and it can be concluded that any crappy usb c dongle will cause interference to the wifi and its true. My kengsington brand cause it really bad.

So far, as do you guys reckon certain brand of non-interference usb c dongle for this great laptop....

Is truth... when I'm using the non-branded USB dongle plugged with my external HDD in MacBook Pro and it caused drop connection from the internet, once unplug it works perfectly... but same non-branded USB dongle works perfectly with 2017 iMac hmm.gif

Depends on what function you want
Preview also a pdf editor
*
i need an unlimited function for pdf editing, convert, edit, commenting , annotation and what not, and the original are pretty expensive monthly.

plus, the "unpaid" version of it should be fine though its really hard to fine in the internet

same goes to the autocad

Just want to ask, why suddenly my iPhone in the Wi-Fi list? I already check my iPhone, the Personal Hotspot already turn off; tapi masih keluar this thing.

Very misteri indeed.

i think this is only happening where you share the same apple account, means you can automatically connect the the phone hotspot...i think so

Hey guys, I am a new MBP user, 13inch with TB

Just wanna know, despite many debates on how do we keep the cycle count low

Do you prefer to use your laptop from 100% to 5% then charge, or keep it plugged in?

🙏 Thanks
*
Im a new user for this MBP, is it important to keep the count low ? maybe if someone wanna sell it back the value matter ?

i charge whenever it dropped to 30 % or less.
