Is this the same as the current being offered by Apple on their Apple Store?
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/apple-ma...s275840228.html

I know Apple didn't upgrade the 13-inch without Touch Bar to the latest 8-gen processor but can't be too sure if this is the same one as Apple is selling on their website. Price difference is quite big. RM6790 vs RM5889.

This is refer to https://www.apple.com/my/shop/buy-mac/macbo...ual-core-256gb#
It's using 7th gen processor (without touch bar). the description is misleading. Another word it is A1708 model (check out- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro).

if you search properly, there is another model which is 2018 Model with touchbar.
Lazada apple store always sell cheaper depend on depreciation value.
Apple store - forever it is same price even after a year.
So to get best bargain is to buy from lazada apple store.

I know the latest MBP is with 8-gen CPU but that’s with touchbar.
If I’m looking only for the model without touchbar then my only option is with the 7-gen CPU. My question was is the Lazada link I showed earlier the same as the link you shared for RM6790?
If so then I would get the one from Lazada since it’s ~900 cheaper...

Another thing to take note, turn off OneDrive when not in use. It use a lot of cpu utilisation & drain battery as well.

Is it considered too little port? I may consider this kind.

that one cannot charge macbook coz dont have usb c. got another adapter which have 1 usb c and 2 usb A but that one too heavy and require another cord to plug power. It is suitable to put at home which i dont think need it as at home got original adapter for all devices.

therefore the only option is this light adapter (without power cord)

Not bad the quality. Free a small bag to keep all my cables, thumb drive,etc
It even have a compartment at the back to store my mouse & usb dongle.

so you are also using some software, i thought you meant by default edi can write NTFS sweat.gif

Nevertheless, thank you for the clarification biggrin.gif

which one you use then??
*
Exfat disk. Its compatible with windows and mac.Majority using cloud - OneDrive, Dropbox & Google Drive. My usb c portable ssd is formatted as exfat. Tested performance is faster compare to using NTFS.

er.. you are making me confused. So you are using Exfat or NTFS? If NTFS, which software you use to enable Mac OS to write NTFS?

As mentioned previously u can refer to the link that just share. By the way, why u concern on writing to ntfs when using Mac. A bit weird...
