alright thanks for the tip!

Are you using Energea dongle? I can't touch mine for more than 5 seconds cuz it's too hot. But I don't see any issue whatsoever, except my Wifi hotspot from my iPhone is not working once the dongle is being used. USB tethering works fine, as well hotspot from other device (Android). Anyone experience similar issue?

nope, mine's from promate. might try something from satechi next time though. wifi is working okay, that's cause im mainly using a 5ghz connection. usb-c affects 2.4ghz connection

yeah i found it in the end haha
thanks for replying me

i buy the ugreen thunderbolt dongle 9 in 1 rm 160 at lazada so far so good

I love ugreen, CS is nice and quality is good, and reasonable price

Hi guys,

There are a few sellers on Shopee selling MBP15 in for 9.7k, they mention its US imported model. Claim to have 1yr apple warranty. Anyone with experience buying this way? Should I go for it?

doesnt have any heating issues? my main concern is only that, other than that my current one is working fine also.

Firstly I have never bought anything from Shopee because my preference still goes to forumlowyat traders with sound testimonials and truthful historical records from buyers. However, should you choose to proceed, please do take note or act on the following items:

a) ask whether it is a new unit or a refurbished unit since both can be packaged in a new and sealed box.
b) request for the serial code and validate it in apple website which will display the status and the warranty of the machine.
c) preferably to do COD given its cost is near 10k, apart from unboxing to check for manufacturer's defects or to verify the authenticity of the machine.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advise. They do allow COD. So maybe I may take that option if I do decide to buy it. Like you said it cost almost 10k. Must sleep over it few times then only can make a decision.

i also love ugreen.. good product quality

I am thinking of getting a monitor for my mbp.
Any tutorial or recommendation for the monitor requirement?
I've seen people getting another power supply but as for my case only need 1 monitor i think i can just plug and use?

Hello all MacBook owner !! Wanna to ask isn’t the new MacBook Air 2018 wif Retina display 128GB really not enough for a student ???

Worth to add RM800 to buy a 256GB ???

Hope u all can reply )

Btw silver or space grey ?

256gb is the bare min.

space grey ftw.

Hi all. I’m planning to move over to Mac as I’m having so much problems managing my photos on PC (even on upper end laptops). Their indexing always cause my computer to hang or reboot or I get the BsOd (my laptop specs is around the 6k range).

So I considering moving to MacBook Pro 13 inch with the higher range i7, 16 gb ram and 512 ssd (10k bomb). Is it worth it? I manage tens of thousand photos on my hard drives and dabble in the occasional video editing and such.

Or shall I wait for the latest update since rumors Apple gonna refresh their model soon. Any advice kindly welcomed. Thanks!

I have similar search in carousell, I had offer of rm6800 for mbo 13inch touch bar edition, the person mention for US version just the plug for the charger is different, and they gave me serial number to check, it is still havent unlock.

Have you bought the imported set? Any feedback so far?

Bought 3-4 US sets in like 9 years so far. No problem.

Are you referring to seller in Amoda building? Then they are the genuine seller. Bought iPhone and Apple Watch from them last year.

256gb at least.
then buy external ssd (quite small , pocketable & very fast too)

but imho
might as well get the mbp 13 with touchbar tho

Maybe sharing the seller name or forumlowyat ID will be beneficial for everyone's reference.
