so just to check on the Education discount ... does Apple ask for any ID ?
Wife works in education, and thinking of replacing her dying 2014 MBA with the 2020 version. I went through the check-out process and was wondering if I should log into my Apple ID ? or do I proceed as Guest to maintain the education discount ? |

QUOTE(afifadam @ Apr 23 2020, 02:12 PM) Update: Package was safely delivered by UPS this morning. This is actually my first-time experience buying online thru official Apple website (+ Education discount), and safe to say that both Apple & UPS service exceeded my expectation despite the outbreak situation. Ordered: 16/4 (5pm, given shipment window 29/4 - 8/5) Shipped: 19/4 (SG - CHN - KUL by UPS, given expected delivery 23/4) Delivered: 23/4 (10-ish am) Just in a week! 🥳👏🏻  QUOTE(emenwai @ May 4 2020, 05:47 PM) when i saw your post i thought that if I ordered the MBA 2020 from Apple Store, it should arrive within a week or two. SO I ordered mine on 2nd May (Saturday) and today at 1740 hrs (4th May) i received email and sms stating that my MBA will be delivered to me by 6th May (Wednesday), this is really fast man.. I ordered the base model MBA by the way, with education price as I work at the education sector. Much more faster than buying things from local seller at Shopee. just checking, for Education price does it ask for proof ? is there any issue if I log into my Apple ID to check out ? Or just continue as Guest. |

QUOTE(emenwai @ May 6 2020, 07:22 AM) No they don't. Just login to your Apple ID. thanks ! For those who got the i5, any reason didn't stick with the cheaper i3 ? Been trying to read / watch review ... but didn't find anything definitive except for "future proofing" which I don't buy into. Will be spec-ing with 16GB RAM either ways. Only using for light tasks, ie whatever can be done on iPad. |

QUOTE(crash @ May 11 2020, 01:02 PM) There's an official UGreen store on Lazada thanks, looks like I'll be getting this hub. This is the 6-in-1 USB hub for MacBook Air/iPad Pro/compatible smartphones (sorry mine was a 6-in-1, not 7-in-1 as previously stated) This is the one I bought previously UGREEN 6 in 1 Type C Hub They typically ship pretty fast, within ~1 week also planning to mirror my screen, any idea if this would work with MacOS, iPadOS and iOS ? I messaged the store and they said yes. TV is not wifi enabled. https://www.lazada.com.my/ugreen-hdmi-wirel...2502300898.html |

QUOTE(crash @ May 12 2020, 05:59 PM) No idea if it works with Mac/iPad/iOS. I only have a Chromecast which works well with all devices. you mean I can use Chromecast to mirror the screen ? it is limited to certain apps or can I show my desktop for video conferencing ? |
