bought my MacBook Pro 2019 from this seller as well, no issue so far. adapter pin the only difference, if they have stock want to clear will offer you MacBook with AppleCare+ with superb price

laptop don't have lol, they will contact you thru WhatsApp if they have stock to clear, that time they offer me top up RM400 for a MacBook Pro come with AppleCare+    , only the warranty date not same as the date you activating your unit.

It is likely the warranty date activated from the date of purchase - so likely when the stock reaches here in Malaysia, it will be 1 month or so short due to shipping etc.

Even after you’ve entered the purchase date upon activation of the product, it will still return to the original purchase date after 24 hours of activation. It’s Apple’s way of controlling warranty periods because its as if you’re purchasing a ‘re-sell’ unit that is sealed.

I'm also considering to get one... but looking that intel have launched new 10th gen for their processor... i'm afraid later Apple will update their specs to the latest processor... any thoughts?

Highly doubt there will be any announcement during WWDC since it's a developer conference.

I do foresee a minimal difference between the Gen 10 and Gen 9 CPUs - it's Intel, who are we kidding? 

Wifi 6 was hygiene for the 10th gen chips, and the 13' didn't ship with it, so I doubt Apple will include that for the 16', if that's what you are waiting for. Also, the 10th gen chips are significantly higher in price in comparison to the 9th gen, so there is a possibility that the price might be bumped a little, or another way is to not give you 'higher / better' specs to compensate the extra cost.

If you don't have a laptop, need one urgently, I would just say go for it. If you don't mind waiting and have one laptop on hand then you can continue waiting. One lesson that I've learned from anticipating new technologies, don't wait for them. Just get it. The 16' is good enough to last you for many years to come. If you ever have doubts, just scroll through reddit under the Macbook Pro sub-section, you'll have plenty of insights there 

Yup, totally. We're almost hitting Q3, so its more or less coming.
Nope, I don't use any. Wouldn't wanna interfere with the beautiful screen. Your devices are touch screen, so TG is normal, Macbooks aren't touchscreens sooooo you're good. Just make sure you wipe the keyboard after each use to make sure no debris is caught in between, if you are really fussy about it. I don't use any form of protection on my Macbook except skins - still waiting for DBrand to ship 

get moshi screen protector if you want to protect your screen, I use to have case and keyboard protector , but end up using naked now lol

screen protector/tempered glass will totally ruin the display of macbook. a lot of screen protector/tempered glass such as moshi one are matt finished. it will bring the brightness and clarity of the display of macbook all the down. Display of macbook is nice is because the display is retina and glossy finish that's why it looks vivid, virant and nice.

keyboard protector to me is a must as i cannot tahan the keyboard turn oily with all the stains on it after a period of usage.

don't like the feel hahaha

If ur tempered glass is clear type and the clarity is good, it should not matter then. however, macbook display seriously do not need a tempered glass. My macbook is 3 years old now without any protector or tempered glass since day 1, it also does not have a single scratch yet.

I am clear silicone keyboard protector that cover individual keys except the Touch Bar portion.

Keyboard protector I put it on all the time as I really use my MacBook on the go nowadays. Mostly 24x7 on like a server at home.

If I really need to close the laptop, I will remove the keyboard protector. It will not really damage the display physically since it is just a silicon. However, it will leave stains on the display and if you dun clean up soon in long run it may become a permanent mark on the display.

Tempered glass unlikely will damage the display la. Normally it is quite thin, even when you close it and it touches the keyboard also it should not cause much impact. Unless ur tempered glass is really really thick.

I'd rather go for the 2019 version than the upcoming 2020. For good reasons, the update for 2020 version is not worth waiting as mini-led is still the same LCD panel, not even an OLED. And that's probably the only update that is "major".

And having the first version (2019) is like owning a historical piece since it's the debut product while owning a 2020, 2021 is like meh considering it will be the same albeit specs bump. In fact even if the 2020 was already available, I would still buy the 2019 version for that exact reason of owning an exclusive debut product while still maintaining the same design. Which is why I sold my iPhone XS a couple months ago and bought a used iPhone X instead, yep no joke.

if u dun run VMs or dun do graphic or video editing, then it makes no difference.

the i7 6-core is much much more than suffficient for any daily tasks.
dun forget the fact, when it compares to 13-inch macbook air or pro, this is a power beast.

technically it is the same actually.

for example, an iphone 11 Pro costs RM 4,899.
the usable life span is 5 years min for an iPhone.

rm4899/5 = rm979.80 per year.

if you are buying a brand new iPhone 11 Pro now at rm500 and the reason is that you do not need the best techs for going for iphone 12 Pro.
actually u are not making any savings unless you buy at a price that is even way cheaper than rm979.80 now.

although you may save the one year of cost, u dun get the latest looking phone/latest techs. so when you performing the daily tasks etc, you do not get the same response time as the latest model. so it is still the same still actually. cannot really considered as saving.

I use this for the comparison. I still see the data that shows that the i9 is still faster. Also, I can't brain your statement that i7 has higher turbo boost. U sure?

i7 - 2.6(Base) - 4.5 (Boost)
i9 - 2.3(Base) - 4.8 (Boost)

The i9, at least based on the data from GeekBench still shows superiority over the i7. (V V V Little for the i9 over i7 on single core)

Finally, depending on if you're able to "find a good deal", the base i9 is a good buy.

Yup, the seller has bad attitude and poor customer service.

Otherwise, can consider this guy Red Apple IT. Better customer service - price fluctuates based on stock / supplier.
