Thank you so much for sharing!
The program is only valid for 4 years upon the purchased date isn’t it? If yes, mine is long gone...

This is used set i think or refurb ,bought a new US set from him last year my 512gb MBP 2016 TB,warranty can activate and entitle for apple care as well.

IC, but he stated only 1 month warranty at his page, i guess the warranty are from his shop.
If according to your saying you can activate the warranty(1year) after purchased, it's a steal. 2019 15mbp are only RM6.5k. 40% cheaper.

I mean if you buy the new one listed not the one in the link,the one in the link is probably used. But he has alot of variety you can check his shop. Coz i buy the new us set,and i pick up at his office at amoda.

IC, thanks for that.

hi guys, where do you guys buy your screen protector for MacBook Pro 16? Looks like local shop here seldom have stock for that.

Also, where can get professional to help me install the screen protector on my MacBook? It's super difficult to install it as I already broke one last time.

I am also wondering what material used for the MacBook Pro screen? is it not so easily to scratch so that we don't need to install such screen protector?

Thanks for answering my question ya  biggrin.gif

FYI i carry my laptop all the places up mountain down sea since 2013 with only sleeve bag
on-to-date it doesnt have any scratches or dent, looks new 90%.
MBP are designed without a needed keyboard/screen/hard casing protector for normal use.

Has anyone here experienced the MacBook Pro battery expanded itself? The MacBook Pro is 2.5 years old and is out of warranty.

Would Apple replace it free of charge?

Hi, I never use Macbook Air or Pro previously. Previosuly I use lenovo laptops, build desktop for my personal use.

Now thinking of whether shd get one Macbook. The usage will be use excel or words, use some softwares, use VPN, watch netflix, sometime will attach to Monitor. I will also need to bring it to customers to do presentation and marketing.

My concern which stopping me to buy Macbook which is so much expensive is...I worried that this laptop will just become very slow and lag like my previous few lenovo laptops, even add 16gb ram, ssd, after 3-4 years, it's slow like hell... even the boot... will Macbook having this issue?

But I actually like the look of Macbook and it's weight, since it's really light to bring it out.

Kindly advise.

If you're asking it expensive?
I bought RM4k+ non-retina iMac 7years ago at 2013. I sold it last month at RM2,000, which is under market price so i sold it out within a day.
Judging from the price/value compared to windows laptop, i would say
Not at all.
It worth every penny.

has anyone updated to macOS big sur yet?

by the way, my backspace button is not so sensitive anymore, I think it's the butterfly keyboard that needs to be fixed? Apple offers free servicing for this, right?

remember to backup before update it

hello, this past month i noticed my macbook pro does not lock the screen after closing the lid. this happened twice in the past month. after the first time it happened, i did a fresh install and reset smc and nvram.

the problem occured again today and the logs are filled with google chrome and launchd stuff when the lid was subbosedly closed. in the morning after aroung 7 hours i woke up to it unlocked and right where i left off.

anyone else experience this before ?

Sometimes i close the screen during playing music, i assume it will stop playing after i close the lid. then after 2 sec, it start playing music when the lid is closed.
Nothing major la, reopen and close the music then close the lid again.
