Experienced the 16inch today in store. Keyboard is superb but the screen change does make you feel as if laptop looks bigger and heavier...

Now debating on the 13inch and 16inch both at edu pricing

Had the same thoughts like you. I upgraded from a late 2013 13 inch. With a 16gb RAM. The screen size is HUGE but weight feels about the same. I think if you are going to upgrade any part of the SSD or RAM on the 13 inch, might as well go with the 16 inch unless you are having limitations with the size.

Dont trade in. Sell it on the second hand market, can get much better price. Im selling my old 13 inch to a friend who wants to give it to his son.

Thank you. Prices should be around the same after refund. Latest prices in Malaysian store is quite competitive. Only about RM1k cheaper in Canada/US after credit card conversion and taxes.

Yes, the price in Malaysia is competitive.

There are also deals for brand new 12,199 machine for just RM 10,000 sealed set. Just need to look at Mudah or Facebook marketplace. brows.gif

Aiyoh, I dare not buy those lah. Especially for such an expensive machine. Upgraded the RAM and need the receipt for tax purposes. Did you have good experience buying from those 3rd parties?

I wanted to buy the 16 inch since I’m in US now..

Edu pricing 2199 then have to do sales tax for another 200usd... become 2400usd...

You dont technically save already, HK and Malaysia edu price would be cheaper..fckkk

Yes, no issue as long as it's a sealed set. Unwrap on the spot, open the device make sure the serial number is valid with Apple.

The only thing is you need to replace the adapter as those are US units.
Warranty wise no issue can walk in an apple store.

But as you said, if you want peace of mind then buy from Apple store is the best. smile.gif
