Does any know why USA MBP 2018 version selling in Malaysia by local Carouseller is cheaper than Malaysia official version? Take example, 15" 2018 MBP 256gb, USA selling at USD2399 which equivalent to RM10,075 and Malaysia official version is RM10,495. BUT Carouseller selling at RM8200 for USA 15" 2018 256gb version. There is a huge gap. Anyone can advise it is legit and can buy from carouseller? or any idea why carouseller can get such a cheaper USA version ?

I got my MBP 13Inch 2018 with AppleCare+ @RM7400 1weeks back (apple website showing 7869 + 895 = RM8764), so it's a discount of RM1.3k.

So far so good, no problem with the device, can check serial and warranty.
Seller claim imported set and source directly from wholesaler that's why cheaper price.

Hi bro, is it legit ? It is USA version? I saw in Carausell got ppl selling USA version cheaper by 2k+ cheaper and it is 2018 MacBook pro model. Not sure it is secure to buy this unit or not.

bought mine here : https://www.mudah.my/softtech-computer. Bought rMBP 15" and iPXS Max 512GB from them. Operated by a bangladeshi guy.

There is my serial number, you can check the warranty. It's definitely valid if you want to send for warranty here.

Honestly, I bought around 6-7 macbooks in my lifetime (I NEED macbooks, work as UI/UX designer and constantly switching macbooks either for personal use or help my workplace to buy for my work use). Only once I bought from the official reseller. The other time I always find cheaper option in Mudah/Lowyat forum. There's a lot seller selling cheaper up to 20-30% than retail price. Mostly are US sets.

But it's up to you guys, I don't want you guys to blame me later. Just sharing my experience. laugh.gif

For those who bought US/Imported Set, what kind of charger are you using?

Is it compatible or do you have to buy a special adaptor of some sort?

The 2018 model isnt as bad as the 2017 model - im referring to the keyboard issues. I wouldnt say its completely defect free but its not really an issue considering that Apple has already replaced the problematic keyboards this year. Electronic defects are common, same for all brands , just pray you dont get a lemon unit.

Yes, if there is a prob, Apple would have already fixed it for 2018 MacBook Pro. In fact, i did not hear much prob about 2018 MacBook Pro.

Even 2017 MacBook Pro keyboard only affects small amount of users and not all. I myself I am using my 2017 macbook for close to 1.5 years. I have no prob with it. Apple has set up the repair programme for keyboard problem, nothing to worry if one really encounters problems.

Aftersale suppler is never an issue for apple products. This is the good thing about being an Apple user.
