just got my unit via DHL yesterday, seems like that shipment delayed I got from apple earlier was a false alarm

Anyone here has any recommendation for MBA M1 case that wont block hub? I couldn't find it anywhere in taobao nor shoppee

Lol for the latest info on new macbook design, probably launch by end of this year, i will give this macbook a pass 😂

Nice, I normally use Buyandship a lot as I buy a number of bicycle parts from around the world as well as certain tech stuff but it never occurred to me to actually buy a Mac using a freight forwarder haha!

Buy and Ship is pretty reliable, me and my cycling buddies use it for our bicycle parts.

Agreed, computer stuff never stops getting better and faster and cheaper too.

Hi, what is the total day from ordering until receive the unit?

Mine was ordered on 29th of dec. ETA 15-22 of Jan at first.
Then I've changed my receiving address last week, the ETA changed to 18-25 of Jan but still receive it on 15th.
Total 18days.

So it takes 18 days. Tq2. Im in dilemma right know bcoz Im going to travel in 3 weeks time. Dont know sempat or not.

Very accurate ETA!

Hope it is for mine too. Not MBA but Mac Mini.
13/1 Ordered (ETA 28/1- 4/2)
14/1 Card Charged
16/1 Preparing to Ship
??/1 Shipped

Perhaps can consider to contact dealer directly to get physical stock in your scenario.


Should be receiving yours very soon! I got mine the next 2 working days after I received the e_invoice.

BTW any M1 user has any issue on their wifi? Mine seems to be having some random wifi issue when I switch on the laptop (encountered 3times till now since I got my unit yesterday).
Both 2.4g & 5g are not working whenever it happen. Only manage to get rid of it till I restart the laptop while internet on my phone and tv are running fine at the same time.
My current macOS is Big Sur 11.1.

Took the plunge and ordered MBA 16/512 Gold... Delivery slated between Feb 8-16th... Gonna be a long 3-week wait...

My 2010 MBP battery bloated, took out and performed slow as heck...

May be much faster if they have that config in stock.

I ordered Mac mini 16/256.
13/1 Ordered (ETA: 28/1 - 4/2)
14/1 Card Charged
16/1 Preparing to Ship
16/1 Shipped (ETA: 25/1)

Pray that lesser ppl take gold with that config...

Gold is a unique options available only for MacBook Air.
Our friend have got himself a mini, so silver is the only color option for him.

Wish Mini have Space grey as well. Not sure the color option will be returning in 2021 updates.

Hi every sifu here,
just got my first ever MBA 8/1TB
I ordered on 29th space gray and the note written was delivering between 19-26Jan. Well I got it early morning 15th.
since I am new to MacBook stuff right, any sifu sifu can teach what's the tips and trick for this laptop ah? previously using Lenovo Yoga. I tried to backup my phone the whole day but couldn't get it right. any idea?

Fingers crossed for you. Wonder why Apple didn't make a gold MacMini, I wouldn't mind one. I suppose it's a bit too much.

yeah it is a MacOS and MBP setup that without the battery it performs ultra slow. Last time I had the exact same issue and replaced the battery because of that.

I ordered the same config as well 2 weeks back, wonder how long more it will take.

which software are you using to backup your iPhone? iTunes?

Usually how much is the offer price during sale...? Not per person but the product itself...

Any ideas if GPU panic can also be caused by swollen battery...?

I was thinking if a new battery can prevent further GPU panics then maybe I can stall my MBA purchase and wait for the upcoming MBP 14/16 instead...
