I got mine from other place for the sale.

Luckily did not commit to Machines tongue.gif
Try to see Switch's.

Speaking of which, my MBP Pro TB 15" 2016 model uses a 87 watt power supply unit, right?

Just to reconfirm as I need to get another power supply unit + 2m cable for every day use and office use.
*
Yes, MBP Pro 15" is using 87watt.

256gb will be too little in long run, u may run into bottleneck quite soon.

256G is very little for today usage and application. Coming from 256G, always at 95% usage. sad.gif

Changed my screen twice already due to this issue during my 3 year period.
Also using the rMBP (mid 2014).
Took about 1-7 days for replacement of the screen without any charge (1 time at Mac City, 1 time at QCD)

Changed my MBP2017 15" after 3 months of usage. Took 1.5weeks to complete the service at sunway QCD.

Hey is it true that the current macbook actually have few problems (watched review from owner on youtube)
Because my macbook has this problem of constant restart/shutdown and crashed apps

Because my previous macbook (mid 2014) never had an issues except overheat only

They don't repair for you.
Wait after 2 weeks and please call in again to chasing them.
After that you will receive a brand new MacBook , but they keep the box only, just the laptop is belong to you.

be sure you backup first. if change board, your SSD will be replaced.

Anyone know the best Apple service centre around KL?

My Shift key failed and my laptop is still under warranty.

Went to Sunway Pyramid QCD and they need 3 days to fix the keyboard. Just wondering if there are any faster SC.

Can't live 3 days as my MBP is my work laptop. sad.gif

3 days is very fast.
