ok. sweat.gif

Because i havent got a mac, wanna buy one in future, but all my HDDs and thumbdrives currently in NTFS format, if NTFS format can't be write in default, i plan to change all of them to Exfat formats to avoid any issue when i got a mac later.

Well I also the same. Using windows for 20 years. Having the same doubt but mine more toward app and OS compatibity/So what I did was run macOS in VMware to familiar and test compatibity on app. So far so good. Those app that cannot run, I will run windows on VMware fusion.
Therefore don’t have any issue.

Is anyone having keyboard issue on your 2018 Macbook Pro with 3rd gen keyboard?

I am having several issues:
1. Letters or characters repeat unexpectedly
2. Letters or characters do not appear
3. Key(s) feel "sticky" or do not respond in a consistent manner

The new 2018 Macbook Pro isn't covered under the keyboard replacement program, so I sent it to AASP, hopefully they give free service as its still under warranty.

Will AASP offer a new Macbook if the issue persist?

Will AASP offer a new Macbook if the issue persist? -> No. only replace it

Unfortunately, very true advice on using external keyboard to avoid sticky keys. RM2800 is very expensive to replace the keyboard only

I am using external Bluetooth when at home. Plan to get Apple Care protection before end of 1st year warranty. Then worry free for 1+2 warranty
Frankly speaking, surface parts also expensive. But at least Apple not as troublesome compare to surface.

Other than using external keyboards, i’ve seen some people using keyboard cover. some are made of silicon and some are TPU material.

I wonder if this is cheaper alternative to protect the keyboard from having stuck/sticky keys problem?

Any users here got use keyboard cover? Will it damage your screen on the long run?

I am using the cover. Purpose is to prevent dust issue to keyboard

Just experience wifi lost connection when plug usb c hard disk (no dongle-direct connection) to perform time backup. My wifi back to normal after finish backup. Look like this is not related to only using dongle.

Just bought a Macbook Pro 13.3 inch w/o Touch Bar yesterday. This is my first time using Macbook. So a lot to learn.

Just wondering something about the Apple Care which i purchased as well

1. Apple Care Protection for MAC = RM 895
https://www.apple.com/my/shop/product/APP_M...-13-macbook-pro

2. Apple Care Protection for Mac or Apple Display = RM 349

https://www.apple.com/asia/support/products/mac.html

I took the 2nd one because its much cheaper and they told me that they covered everything on (1), plus with Apple Display which is not available in (1).

So just checking if my purchase is justifiable, because frankly, it quite an impulse buy.

Was contemplating with Air or Pro, ended up with Pro because the Retina display between both devices, Pro is much better and brighter.
*
sure 2nd options protect entire macbook?

Guys,

Is it normal if we use Macbook Pro while charging, we can feel a bit tingling sensation like some sort of static charges on our fingers especially when we trackpad or the surface surrounding the trackpad.

As i can always feel it when charging the Macbook when using it. If i disconnect the charger, i won't feel it.
