I was recently in the 2nd hand market for MBA M1, looking at prices around 2.9k to 3.3k, which I think wasn't worth it cos Apple was having sale at rm3599. So personally I think it's not worth to trade in for an iPhone currently cos the price will definitely be low. Plus, 91% isn't too bad; it's still great!

How many battery cycles have your MBA had so far?

OK thanks bro, bcs when I google for macbook battery replacement price I see the price for new battery is really high..

At the setting it says 81 cycles only..

It’s definitely still far from needed to be replaced, you can still use it for a long time. As for your battery cycle of 81 only, it’s cos you plug in your charger all the time, hence the cycle count is low. For example, mine is close to a year and half but I have 280 cycles and 89% battery health

But from what I read once reach 80% health it is recommended to replace the battery right?

Yes that's what they recommend, but until then you still have a long way to go to 80%. Anyways, if you check the system report, you can see the battery condition. If it's normal then you are still good to go with it; don't worry

mine is at 88% now, after 1 year, and i do have extended warranty, does it mean i can opt for new battery replacement right?

only eligeble if capacity is less than 80%

Guys anyone having same problem recently keep getting ask for wpa2 password at the same time will lose the WiFi connection despite having strong signal???

Hi, just bought mine. Can use phone charger with 67w or steamdeck charger with 45w?

Me too. Bought to replace my old mbpr late 2013. From Lazada, only RM3291 for base model (M1 8/256, 7 core). My primary Mac is Mac mini M1 16GB 8 core so I know the M1 is more than capable as a secondary machine.


As for charger, should be ok. I use the iPhone USBC 20w charger with the MBA all the time.
