to be fair, for those who want to use Microsoft Edge/Third party softwares or software that can run only in X86 framework, should just stick to INTEL/Windows pc/laptop....they shouldn't consider Mac at all...

If it is through the App Store then the update will come in through notification. If its downloaded separately, then if the programming is done well, it will also notify you and auto update.

Because they want to prove the balance...many people say good then someone need to point out the bad... but the issue here is the bad not relevant at all

I'm quite interesting in getting the base model MBA for development purpose (test water also), cuz I anticipate this first gen is going to get obsolete real soon.

Dayum, my 2016 MacBook Pro always got issue when running huge data of excel.

Makes me drooling for this.

the Intel processor is the bottleneck. my 2017 macbook pro is nothing better in terms of performance.

i am sure any apple fans here use windows becos of no choice, same as me. i am using bootcamp on my macbook pro 2017 due to work purpose too.

i will never go with any windows laptop as the quality is totally far far behind apple one.

If you talk about more than 5 years perhaps it's true. But PC laptops already catch up a lot recently. The only thing is those premium PC laptops (XPS series etc) are actually costing more than Apple nowadays. It's not worth it.

I would like to ask about Apple care.
It says can buy within 12 months of purchase.

Does it means it’s better to buy when the first year warranty almost over? Instead of buying it on day one.

Most ppl do that - buying last minute... typical malaysians are the last minute lot...

Anyway, your original first year warranty does provide up to 90 days of phone support from your date of purchase. Purchasing ACPP will extend your phone support to full 3 years in line with your extended warranty.

There are genuinely ppl who really like/appreciate the mac and macos, but have some softwares from windows/x86 not available on new m1 platforms. These are genuine use cases/dilemma. They don't intend to make their life difficult....

MBA 16gb-512gb

My mate bought the 2tb mba and mpb from Singapore the day it released. He gets it sent to his condo, and his family fedex it over. Until now haven’t gotten it. ETA is 7 December from apple cuz of supply problem

So you might have to wait a bit too

it's ok. worth the wait. since adobe still not optimized to M1. maybe ill wait so long until mbp 14" launches with m1x. lol. actually was thinking of a bigger screen. maybe upgrade when mbp 14 or mbp 16 comes out
