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....

QUOTE(tai_digidestany @ Aug 13 2017, 06:11 PM) 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

QUOTE(Xypheria @ Sep 26 2017, 10:03 AM) 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.
