By default total sum is paid. If you want to pay by installment, you can make the order and then call your card Centre. Different banks may have different policies. I've just asked last Saturday, Maybank offers 3% (current promotion) of the sum for 6 months installment and 9% for more than 12 months installment, which is completely not worth. Authorized resellers do offer 0% installment, but you will have to perchase Apple Care together.

I guess you should find your luck at other banks. I've just placed order last Saturday. I'm okay with the 256GB basic one, but the authorized resellers do not offet student price, and if I'd to pay by installment, I must get the apple care worth RM900+... That made me order it online. Eventually I paid RM6917 for 256GB SSB with upgraded ram to 16GB.

Sounds tough, and cheap. I ordered this after my order on MBP. I paid the same day. It has already reached GZ. But my MBP still not yet come out from its factory... I think it will reach me before the MBP does. Attached thumbnail(s)

On my way Senior Member 523 posts Joined: Aug 2008	QUOTE(xtrasher_kingx @ Apr 9 2017, 04:31 PM) I had to bargain with the manager lah cos I bought their 1+2 year warranty plan as well All MBP come with 1 year warranty. Is the warranty you bought Apple Care itself or it is warranty by Harvey Norman? Does 1+2 mean additional 3 years warranty or total 3 years warranty? If it is former, then it is worth.

On my way Senior Member 523 posts Joined: Aug 2008	QUOTE(xtrasher_kingx @ Apr 9 2017, 05:08 PM) Total 3 years warranty and I got 24months 0% instalment.. as my company subsidised the purchase, I had to find warranty that lasts for 3 years.. so it's still worth it for me cos I am going to use it for 3 years anyways before I can purchase a new laptop using the company's subsidy lol How much have you paid for the extended warranty?

On my way Senior Member 523 posts Joined: Aug 2008	QUOTE(MooTikPin @ Apr 12 2017, 10:59 PM) It is louder due to the new butterfly mechanism in the keyboard Mah The touch pad is because of the haptic engine imitating a sound and vibration, that's why u will feel it very obviously Can it be adjusted? I mean the touchpad 'sense'...

However, i think this charger benefits those that are using macbook pro 13 inches only, for macbook pro 15 inches, it will charge slower. I'm still juggling, as the connector they provide is to be use in the States. If we purchase it for malaysia, i guess we will need a multi national adapter. and to consider the voltage difference too...

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.
