I got mine direct from the shop selling it. superdeal.it at shopee

Up for this seller. I used shopee

same experience. but I paid 700. the warranty date start is like 1-2 weeks before my purchase date.

What was yours? I'm thinking maybe yours is like 1 month activated already? Maybe that's why yours is at 400.

promo not available? Meaning what? You're talking about AppleCare or about getting the Mac from them?

AFAIK, they don't advertise the one w/ AppleCare, just so happens that when I contact them, they told me the ONLY stock they have was the one w/ AppleCare and that's exactly what I wanted. So it's bonus for me.

ur friend in SGP.. buy what ah? Mac there cheaper meh? I think worst than Msia pricing wise no?

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.

ah.. too bad then. It's really a super good price. I got AppleCare for 1/2 the price of retail. Another guy got it for like 1/4 the retail price. (and we lost like between 2 weeks to 1 month of the 3 years warranty period)

For AppleCare, I think cannot. You need to SEND / SHOW the Mac to them possibly. That was my experience when I went to purchase AppleCare in Paradigm mall Mac shop. They had to call up and ask and send photos of the "state" of the machine. (maybe cos I was buying apple care at like the 11th month after I got the Mac)

Just ask for fren to ask the ppl at apple in spore loh.

Its your choice.

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?

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..

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"???

AFAIK APC+ Is for accidental liquid damage and only applicable for like 2 times claim?

I’ve not regretted my APC Purchase. It has served me well.

I found that when mine is charging and I put my phone to charge as well, it will take a LONG time to charge up and sometimes I also see that it's actually decreasing charge as I use it (while charging it from the Mac - which is connected to the AC)

the 96w Charger cannot tahan when it is charging the laptop leh.

Either that or my ciplak USBC to lightning cable is so ciplak.
