QUOTE(Icehart @ Nov 15 2019, 02:35 PM) I went to Apple Singapore site, enter the serial number and got the offer. I see. Thanks!But I must say the offer from Apple Singapore (Which redirects you to Brightstar site) is ridiculously low. If I trade in the same device in Apple US can get $750. |

QUOTE(kokhoong0624 @ Dec 27 2019, 11:00 PM) I previously own a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2016 version. I used the laptop for 2 years+ and went through multiple repairs due to the faulty keyboard. At the end Apple gave me a full refund of the amount I paid this year and I waited for a refresh. I'm thinking to get this spec as well. Actually do we need 64GB of RAM? 🤔. I'm currently using 2016 version 16GB and 512GB SSD. RAM after VM free it's around 5GB. Storage left 200GB, so I assume 1TB it's enough for my case. For RAM it's definitely 32GB, now I'm wondering should I upgrade to 64GB for future proof purpose. Saw them released this 16inch and immediately ordered one. What a big upgrade (for the same price I paid three years ago!) I got twice the amount of Ram, twice the core count (8 core) and twice the graphical power. I have not benchmarked this laptop because I had been using my iPad as my main computer (and stopped coding and editing photos for some time) but what I immediately noticed is how much better this keyboard felt compared to the old keyboard. The improvements in speakers are noticeable, but not "groundbreaking" compared to the previous 15 inch. This is definitely the best laptop speakers for now and anyone who came from a laptop other than the 2016 -2019 series MacBook will be pleasantly surprised with the audio quality. Sidecar is extremely fluid when paired with my iPad. I could draw with the Apple Pencil on Photoshop with pressure sensitivity when using sidecar! (No more reason for me to get an external monitor) I felt like this iteration is the laptop apple should have released in 2016. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it felt more like a fix for their mistakes in the past. Also, I got apple care+ from elsewhere because it covers accidental damage too (would recommend getting that instead of the one in Malaysia) This is the specs of my thicc boi:  Mainly use for Office work, VM, Browsing and presentation purpose. |

QUOTE(kokhoong0624 @ Jan 9 2020, 08:21 PM) I think you will be fine with 32GB. Those who need 64GB of RAM would know they need it. Tbh I don’t need 32GB of RAM too.. feel like it’s overkill for what I do. Haha XD but if you have the budget then go for any upgrade you can lor Thanks! Keep clicking 32 64 32 64 🤣 |
