Today i tested the MacBook air m1 at machines, still cant decide whether to get this at 3599 or go for the m2 air straight ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

My partner got it from Shopee Machines official store with the price of RM3449 (after discount and promo).. definitely worth it compared to the m2 pricing around RM5499

Hi guys wta what's you macbook battery health like???
Mine just over a year old the battery health at 91%, so fast???

I think it really depends on how you use your macbook and the way you charge it. Are you always charging it while using? Or do you charge it only when it is really low? Do you charge it to full 100% every time?

ya I leave it plug in every time I use it. Sometimes it just stop charging at 80%.

My advice is, try best not to use it while charging if possible.. the reason it stops at 80% is because of the system's optimized charging.. it will slowly charge from there onwards.. I always try not to let the battery drain to low percentage.. usually when it reaches around 40% then I will charge it to 90% only, not 100%. You can also download this app called AlDente, it helps with your battery's charging and discharging.. try exploring it and see if it helps

Do you know if I trade in my MBA with battery at 91% will the value be a lot less?
*
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!

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