QUOTE(Zaryl @ Mar 30 2020, 08:09 PM) This. Yeah.. expecting a good MBP, intel ice lake, scissor keyboard, better speakers ? , 14 inch screen ? Why oh why Apple would continue to screw up on this one? Or they wanted customers to get the upcoming MBP 2020 which will have all the proper designs? How typical of Apple. Seems like a long wait though with all that's happening now. Saw a review where the YouTuber water cooled the MacBook Air, instant performance gains and much lower thermals. But seems that Apple set a hardware limit because temp is cool but processor didn't boost further. This post has been edited by ultra_nyamuk: Mar 31 2020, 12:58 PM |

I still thinks the MBA will have the fans as loud as the world war 2 bomber planes. And that is actually a deal breaker still .

Saw Max Tech youtuber recommend to use Turbo Boost app to effectively control the CPU load vs Temp on MBA2020.Perhaps this is the best solution so far. Or we could just wait for Apple to release “firmware” to solve the thermal throttling issue altogether. |

QUOTE(TrollNoob @ Apr 3 2020, 08:33 PM) AFAIK, your’re gonna need her email address (must end with .edu) to make an account. Although I’ve heard some places you can just walk in and tell them you wanna buy under education discount. Certain places like the Taylor’s branch allow for walk-ins and apply for it. This is pretty dated information though. I remember reading it on the forum quite some time ago.Your best bet to purchase during this MCO is to ask her to make an account on Apple using her school/college/uni email address (must end in .edu). |

Macbook Air is already passed by SIRIM on 6th April. Well, let’s estimate for fun. The new iPad Pro 2020 was passed on SIRIM on 1st April 2020 and was launched today (9th April) which gives us about 8 days period. So 9+8 = 17th April 2020. But since 17th’s a Friday, maybe they will allow us to buy on the 16th April which is a Thursday, same as today for the iPad Pros. TLDR; My MBA 2020 estimation is 16th April 2020. |
