hi everyone. i just got my mbp 16inch today and when i check my batter using coconutbattery, it shows full charge capacity of 7973mah instead of 8790mah with 3 cycle count. isnt new mbp should have 100% battery capacity? the mbp that i bought is legit and the serial number is new one. any advise? pls help

Mine, using around a month:

Red Apple attitude is much worse than Superdeal... try to ask some questions and he replied ' dont want to sell to you'

Bosses all...
what you guys use for USB C hub ah? Can send me some recommendations ah? (The one I bought (wrongly) is those that plug direct into the laptop. Regret liao cos can't fit when I'm using a Mac Casing.. 😭 )

Other question, any issues when connecting MBP to external monitor? I connect to my VERY old Dell U2410 and the fonts looks ugly and blurry. I'm not sure if this is due to the Mac (using the USB hub to HDMI) issue or something else.

I'm starting to think that it's the monitor. Too Old liao. (lifespan exceeded???) I plug in my 2006 year laptop using VGA also don't seem that nice. This monitor when I first bought it is very high end one leh...

TQ

Could be they sien already deal w/ ppl who ask 1001 questions and yet no buy.
y so cheap?
got warranty ah?
can COD?
why can't like this?
y warranty less 2 weeks from when I buy from you?

Sorry can't relate to your experience.

He answered my questions promptly, very accommodating and even met up with him to COD because I couldn't wait for postage. He even gave me an 'upgrade' of the USB C Hub that I initially purchased. Had a good chat with him about SMEs in Malaysia and future plans lol!

I'm using a UGreen Hub, inexpensive and quality product. I think its the monitor - try to get a USB C monitor to take advantage of your USB C / Thunderbolt port.

resolve my issue already by first drawing the Mac until it shut down then charge overnight. now the battery is showing 100%.

one more thing, the typing experience in MBP16 is superb. very quiet and I can type faster compared to normal laptop keyboard.

USB C monitor is V expensive leh...
I'm looking for 34in UltraWide curve and those w/ USB c are super expensive.


the UGREEN one you using, you're conneccting it to external monitor? u have a shopee link or something I can take a Look?

Thanks..


I need to go test a (newer) external monitor and see if it's my old monitor issue leh..

Nope, I'm connecting my MBP to external monitor direct via USB C. I only use Hubs for USB A, but since my monitor has USB ports, I've been using it as a hub instead lol.

UGREEN HUB I'm using this model, but didn't get it from this shop la.

Im using Ugreen hub, but if you are using it often to connect to prejector or TV for presentation, you might want to think twice. The output support for Ugreen couldn't support some big high res TV and it will keep blinking / might not work. I have to change to the Apple original HDMI Adaptor. If you connect to monitor at home, i dont think there will be any problem though

Hi guys, has anyone of you tried the magnetic USB-C charger for Macbook Pro? I saw some cables that can mimic the MagSafe connection.

Oh for that I have another hub, its an Adams Elements hub with VGA / HDMI that I use for the other meeting rooms in office. Fortunately my office floor’s meeting room has Apple TV 😬

Anyone know how much the price for Apple Care for Macbook Pro 16 and where can I purchase it?

Also, I been using this laptop during charging and it felt hot on the palm rest when typing, is it normal?

this is what I use. similar to the one you have. Bad choice for me as I bought a casing after I bought this and It doesn't work w/ the casing. (the prongs are too short w/ the casing)

That's y looking for some alternative w/ cable instead of straight plug in


I tried connecting the existing one I have to a 4K TV. it works. 3840x2160 resolution. Can also do extend desktop (and not only mirror). But I think it's default to 30Hz only. (I can't check or rather dunno how to check). Is it because of this that my mouse seems to be "lagging"???

Hi,

Anybody know where I can get skin for Macbook Pro 16?

Like those brands in US...Colorware or dBrand.

Already asked Mojoskin in Sunway Pyramid...not available

Something skin in Puchong also don't have.

I want them to help put on. Not self install.

Help

im using this one https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U092/

wrapping can try this one https://www.facebook.com/mrskinplus/

They told me dont have 16 inch skin

oh, like this I also don't know where to get liao , because I only let skin+ wrap my gadget

My MacBook Pro feels hot too during charging but once I unplug it, it don’t feel hot. It could be the battery is located beneath the palm rest.

You mean apple care or apple care +? If apple care you can get it from switch. I am looking for Apple care +. Anyone has US credit card to help me pay?
