roughly 30 tabs? but my 4 years old dell inspiron can do 80 over tabs without issues though

use safari

is there a possibility of apple reducing the m1 models once m2 available based on previous history?

clearing stock...once no more, they will not continue to manufacturer and focus on m2

no discount to M1 MBA eh? I'm planning to sell off my 2019 13" MBP to get M1 machine

no. global chip shortage. so don't expect price to go down.

okay too bad ... not sure at what price ppl willing to grab 2nd hand 2019 13" Intel MBP

u can check the trade in value from switch and machine. that would be min value

Is it true that 8gb of ram on macbook isn't enough for casual work?

8gb is enough based on my experience

enough. been using 8GB since 5 year ago.
- email
- word
-excel
-power point
- sometimes do video recording and editing
Just 8GB and intel dual core. Now still thinking should I change to M1 air vs using 2017 MacBook pro
any feedback?

that depends on what is your usage. for me i've been using i7 8gb dell 4 years ago, and now having issues with chrome with mac, for me its not really worth it, unless you' re using mac software like final cut, and great battery life, but that doesnt matter if you going to dock in ur desk at home anyway.

my experience to share for anyone looking to do trade in.
my model:- macbook pro 2017 (i5, dual core, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM)
plan to get : m1 macbook air

1.Switch - Quayside Mall , Rimbayu
- did not offer trade in for macbook
So advise to go popular shopping mall

2. Try Machines @ Sunway Pyramid
Yes - trade in available. Accoding to them, they offer trade in for 2015 or latest model
Initial price before checking faulty is RM1.1k

3. Try Switch @ Sunway Pyramid
Yes - trade in available.
Final Price - RM880

All shop only got M1 Macbook Air - 256GB Gold color. According to them, price dropped for trade in is lower is due to M2 released last month. Before M2, my unit trade in is RM1.5k

My unit is working fine.

They will minus for every small scratch on surface (back/front/ etc)
Display panel rubber on side
top where keyboard panel, they check side (got little dark due to dust/ try to clean). Give me an excuse side cannot clean which i hardly cannot see it.

Lastly i decided to abort the trade in as not worth it.
The 2017 Macbook pro is still working fine, battery life (replaced a new one 1 1/2 year ago is still great and not faulty)

Switch & Machines got no promotion - RM4399.
Will continue to use till it die and buy new one online with possible cheaper on 11/11 or 12/12 sale.

With this unit still can support MacOS Ventura this year, no hurry to change it.

May be M3 next year will be my target.

That's all my experience & hope this benefit to those want to do trade in

All accessories for my MBA.

put on carousell

why like whole malaysia now base MBA M1 (Space Grey and Silver) is out of stock? left gold fugly color

put on carousell, mudah and FB market place ... you can fetch higher price

Still having my MacBook Air M1. No plans to upgrade to MBA M2 as MBA M2 battery is not as good, and daily performance usage would be hardly noticeable between M1 and M2. And not sure about the SSD speeds of the MBA M2 yet, as it could be another downgrade like what happened with MBP M2 compared to MBP M1.

M2 SSD 256GB bad perfornance

I noticed that the battery drain is slower around 90-100% (sometimes got around 3-4 hours before it reach 95) and around 10% drop for 1hour+ normal usage after that.
Is that consider normal?
