QUOTE(tony_mw @ Jan 16 2021, 08:39 PM) Perhaps can consider to contact dealer directly to get physical stock in your scenario. That's what I did. I can't take the waiting game risk because my travel date is fixed already.Should be receiving yours very soon! I got mine the next 2 working days after I received the e_invoice. So, I just pulled the trigger yesterday. I go with the base model MBA. I got it from Switch. For those who need zero% installment plan, they got you covered. But it is based on your max credit limit. I also use my maybank treats point. ![]() Now let's begin the adapter hunting. |

QUOTE(Zaryl @ Jan 17 2021, 04:23 PM) 0% installment means the bank will still DEDUCT the total price initially right? Yes. The CC balance is reduced with the full price. But after you pay the monthly RM375, it will add RM375 to the CC balanced.But they will charge it monthly? Example: MBA M1 base model RM4,500. I take 12 month installment: monthly is just RM375 But in my credit card info, the bank actually already deduct that RM4,500 but it won’t show up in your statement. Rather, you see your cc balance is already reduced from your overall limit (eg. Limit RM10,000, minus RM4,500 becomes RM5,500). My theory is correct ya? So after the first month your CC balance should become RM5,500+RM375. Another month add another RM375.. Zaryl liked this post

Me too have problem outputing the displays to my 4K 60hz TV.My 24" Dell monitor (P2421D) can only go up to 1920x1080 resolution when connected. Text is not sharp at all too.

The speakers is very good.
The sound stage is something. Definitely can hear the sound moving from one side to the other. Really nice. |

QUOTE(ionStorm @ Feb 1 2021, 09:19 PM) Trying to decide between Air and Pro. I'd like to get a sense of how warm it gets. Regular Surfing and Youtube not hot at all.Do you use it on your lap? Does it get too warm? (compare regular surfing vs YouTube/Netflixing) How big a difference between AC and non-AC room? My Pro 15 2015 gets a bit toasty and that's after undervolting and disabling Turbo Boost. Ugh. Didn't try Netflix though. It get warm to the touch when I play Minecraft. Its just warm warm not crazy hot. I dont use it on my lap and in non-AC room. |

QUOTE(eikozai @ Feb 2 2021, 06:11 PM) I'm using UGreen hub, even charging through the PD. No problem so far. Yes.The only thing is the hub will become very very hot.. at times it feels like burning your skin when comes in contact.So yea, i read above some one recommend dont charge with hub PD, and kinda agreed. It do no harm, but its very hot. I think any USB C hub sure will get hot. Even my 256gb USB C pendrive I cucuk directly with MBA get very hot. I have used cheap RM180+ no brand 10 in 1 USB C hub with PD bought at shopee. I charge the MBA, connect monitor, keyboard, mouse, and USB pendrive no problem. But it is very hot. After read it may brick the macbook I dont dare again charge thru PD. |

QUOTE(tony_mw @ Feb 4 2021, 04:32 PM) An update after my visit to klcc machine service centre. Turnout my visit is nothing but disappointment. What? Hinge is cosmetik problem? Wtf..Was engaged by Staff A at first then she escalated me to her superior/senior staff B after she couldn't answer my query. Here're our rough conversation during my visit. Me: told them about my problem , Wifi couldn't get network access infrequently & the hinge will be stiff and caused a pop sound after remain a position for long. Staff A: Wifi seems fixed as I can connect to youtube & internet now. The warranty is only covered for hardware issue etc and hinge problem is not covered under the policy because its considered as cosmetic problem. Me : the wifi problem is an infrequent thing, you need to run thru diagnostic report and take time to monitor it. How can the hinge considered a cosmetic problem instead but it's a necessary part to connect the lid and bottom part of the laptop? How am I going to use the laptop if the hinge was broken? Staff A : The hinge is a cosmetic problem to us so if you send in technician will change the whole screen(including the led display) and we will need to charge you because it's not covered under warranty. Me : wtf... this make no sense to me, do you really understand whats the problems i'm facing? Staff A : It's ok, you fill up this send in repair form first(then she walk out and look for her superior). Staff B : How can I help you? Me : tell him my situation again. Staff B : ok, you may sent in for our technician assessment which take about 14 working days( 7 working days for queue & diagnostic works + 7 working days for repair). However, the hinge problem memang is a cosmetic problem as per what my colleague(Staff A) say but you may still send in for assessment work first because if it's covered under warranty then they will repair right away. Me : It's ok, Imma walk away now. Conclusion : I've decided not to proceed further for assessment in the end as I'm not confident to hand my laptop to them after the whole conversation with them. Right now I think I shall take a video whenever any of these problems occur so I can show them if I decided to send in for repair in future. So that I can let them to have better understanding about my problems. Btw I've also tried all their show units(total of 7 units) and I've noticed there're 2 units have this hinge problem too. *The wifi problem occur right after I reach home and I manage to take a video this round. Network Access Problem |

QUOTE(Busquets @ Feb 7 2021, 09:04 AM) TLDW: Just buy the 8GB version if you didnt do super crazy-crazy stuff like working with 6K or 8K videos. M1 with 8GB of ram is really powerfull enough for most usage. Even rendering 4K video is easy for the M1 with 8GB ram. But if you have the money, why not? |

QUOTE(feekle @ Apr 17 2021, 04:36 PM) Interested to know what do you guys do with your MacBook Air? video editing? office works? casual browsing? Office work. Mainly using the Office app like Word, PowerPoint and Excel.After 2 month, I think I want to go back to windows LOL. So many advance feature is missing on the Office for Mac. But the superior battery life and the trackpad experience is holding me back. If Windows machine can challenge that, I will definitely going back. |

QUOTE(eikozai @ Apr 21 2021, 10:36 AM) Yes, need to pay for the service. You can buy the license and use forever unless you need the latest version (release annually) then you have to pay for it yearly. Yeah, might try it some time.FREE, if u know how to find the cracked version, or, at least pay a very min. price from Shopee seller for their hardworks of cracking it. Even if you full pay for it, its totally worth the price tag. You bought your Mac with such premium price but couldn't 100% utilize it to your needs, but with this 'top up' at fraction of the price, you are unlocking another world of OS in the same machine where you can work on both TOGETHER ALONGSIDE! Pure Awesome. Ive seen the preview in youtube. Very smooth indeed. Can swipe between windows desktop and mac desktop. Nais... eikozai liked this post
