I saw 1 seller in shopee is selling M1 Macbook Air already and I read the review for that item, one customer said that it is MY version.



How come there already has MY version already?

Yea Superdeal. I chat with their customer support inside Shoppe they told me those are HK/US units. But not sure why the review is MY unit. If really is MY unit then means that the stocks already in MY, but Apple don't want to sell yet. And Superdeal can get those stocks.

Ohh is it? Thanks for informing! Because actually, this is the first time I heard of them 

Just buy from from superdeal. Same price as apple store. If could get shopee points then it will be a bargain.

If by 12.12 no concrete news on availability in malaysia i might consider superdeal unit.

Yeah I snagged the last MBA n MBP I think.

I had to settle with the MBA gold because the space grey was finished, so he said to wait for the space grey was a few weeks.





EDIT: Omg sick! The MBP is OTW! Arrival is tmr.

Those that buying this new Macbook M1, from which year's macbook you upgrading from? Mine is 2012 Pro but still running well.

256gb sufficient? Or upgrade storage would be better for a light user..

Hi everyone, do you think 7-core GPU is fine while I only use for web-surfing + Microsoft Office?

I'm taking Macbook Air (base model), then upgrade to 16GB and 512GB SSD
It's a bit cheaper than Macbook Air (8-core GPU) with 16GB/512GB

Most monitor is either hdmi or VGA ... So I need a converter from USB-C to HDMI only right?

So, if my monitor is HDMI, getting this would be enough:

Right?

Has anyone encountered "awaiting import license for clearance" before? My order in DHL tracking shows that. Any idea what should I do or just leave it.

anyone running Adobe Lightroom/PS on MBA M1...compatible or not?

I don’t believe adobe PS and LR will not make arm version for macbook.

I noticed people who bought non-BTO MacBooks received their MacBooks early. What do you think of my chances receive my MBA before Christmas next week when I’m supposed to receive between 30/12 and 7/1?

Did some quick test to replicate your work environment. I have done the following:-
- Loaded around 10 files in Photoshop- a combination of complex layered PSD files (with text and layer effects) as well as a few RAW photos
- Opened 20 tabs on Safari (a combination of pages with complex Javascript, YouTube (with videos playing), Flickr, 500px, news sites, etc)
- My productivity software (Outlook, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Slack) was opened in the background
- Tidal playing in the background

Observations:-
1. Loading in Photoshop (average file size between 80-100MB for the layered files and 50MB for the RAW photos) was extremely fast
2. Everything that I was playing in the background (music from Tidal, YouTube videos on the tabs) was still playing without any lag or pauses
3. CPU load was at 20% (Idle standing at 79.82%). Biggest CPU hogger was Photoshop which took up 25.8% of the CPU. Not much CPU pressure here.



4. Swap file was at 6.44GB while 12.37GB of RAM was used up. Not much memory pressure here.



Overall, 16GB would be more than comfortable for what you need. Do bear in mind that Photoshop hasn't been optimized for the M1 yet so it is still running under emulation mode with Rosetta 2. Even then, it still performs better than my current 2018 Intel MacBook Pro! With an Apple Silicon version coming in Q1 2021, expect more efficient RAM and CPU utilisation.

I usually do not run Windows under Parallels on the Mac. Actually, I've haven't got much software that I can't do natively on MacOS. Also, there is no Parallels that work with M1 yet except for the Technical Review that they have right now. Even then, the Technical Review only emulates an ARM machine and you need to install the ARM version of Windows (also a preview). From YouTube creators initial trial, it is not looking like a workable solution yet as it is pretty buggy and slow. And Microsoft's x64 emulator on the ARM version of Windows is also pretty slow and doesn't work with all software yet.

i see.... good to hear that.

But too bad I don't use iPhone though....... hmm, maybe that's why.....

thank you bro. ya, i will likely be going with the 512gb model. as for the ram, will see how it goes. it's not that could not throw in another 800 for the ram but the question is also whether would i really need it.

but understand that new MBA is not upgradable later on.
