Hi everyone,

I am planning to get a 2016 15.4" MBP. The question is since it is a 1 year old device and I went to the seller place, item is still sealed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, upon booting up and registering the MBP to my iCloud ID, I am still able to get 1 year warranty from Apple yes?

Thanks!

Regards,
Lex

Lots of USB C Hubs out there, from stylish to plain ugly.

The one from Apple is expensive and limited ports.

Am using one from HooToo. https://www.hootoo.com/ht-uc001-usb-type-c-...pter-apple.html

hi dude, I'm also a macbook pro user for a year already. Using the exact same 2016 model. Do you need me to recommend you what is the best usb C to multi adaptor before u make any purchasing decision? I'll be the most suitable person here judging from your case.
