QUOTE(AngleR35 @ Mar 24 2022, 10:26 AM) Hi, the Apple care plan can be purchase later right? So long within the first year of purchase of the MacBook ? yup, between ur 1st year of ownership.QUOTE(RiriRuruRara @ Mar 24 2022, 11:45 AM) Yes haha, so what have you decided? Recently they had rm588 discount for iPhone 12 but don't know why macs only get rm400. If rm588 discount I feel that a good deal... I've just bought 8GB/512GB. |

QUOTE(AngleR35 @ Mar 28 2022, 03:25 PM) May I know which external hub that recommended? For HDMI, USB3.0, memory card and external type c port ? I'm using ENERQEA ALLHUB2, seems lost power, but folks in C-Zone recommends J5Create, and I end up bought a USB C Monitor to solve the couldn't wake the Mac bug. AngleR35 liked this post

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Jun 20 2022, 07:56 PM) when battery swallow...it impact the top part. so they need to replace the keyboard, etc yeah better becareful, i learnt it the hard way, where i thought cost of replacement of battery is as per website, but then if your battery is bloated then its totally different case, i was charged way higher but this is iphone, but i believed it applies all across mac, but anyone that owns 8gb m1 having sluggishness? i'm just using chrome, powerpoint, excel, outlook, and teams and its sluggish, and this does happen even after my 3rd month of ownership. |

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Jun 30 2022, 09:54 AM) enough. been using 8GB since 5 year ago. that depends on what is your usage. for me i've been using i7 8gb dell 4 years ago, and now having issues with chrome with mac, for me its not really worth it, unless you' re using mac software like final cut, and great battery life, but that doesnt matter if you going to dock in ur desk at home anyway.- word -excel -power point - sometimes do video recording and editing Just 8GB and intel dual core. Now still thinking should I change to M1 air vs using 2017 MacBook pro any feedback? |

QUOTE(tzxsean @ Jul 8 2022, 12:01 AM) u can download AlDente to stop the charging at 50-60% if ur laptop is plugged in almost all the time .. oh thank you so much for this, guess the 3 months of the ownership had cause my battery wear rather quicker then, i recalled there's an app to trace the battery health, not sure if you know, as i've forgotten it. but lately mac os also have the capability to hold the battery from charging, but this only happen if i not mistaken on my 2nd month of ownership. |

QUOTE(tzxsean @ Jul 8 2022, 09:11 AM) coconutbattery thank you, they said chrome is the culprit of m1 mba 8gb is sluggish so i've moved on to other browser like brave, yet i still face sluggishness, even though its not as bad as chrome but yet its still sluggish, does it mean i have to transfer all my google ads, facebook ads, google sheets, google data studio, sharepoint, and office 365 to only use safari in order to avoid sluggishness? but i would need chrome extensions to do debug of website tags and codes which chrome extensions available for now.Mac’s own battery optimisation stops at 80% battery, cant go lower AlDente can go any % you want. I’m only using the free version |

QUOTE(xiaojohn @ Feb 9 2023, 12:38 PM) bought not brought.... urm I bought the AppleCare, apparently it extends the warranty to 3 years from the start date, my previous MacBook Pro 13 mobo issue within 1 year, so do not want to risk it, and there's also perks on it, as it covers beyond the laptop itself, like charger, and battery,Personally i didn't add RM800 for AppleCare.... Better use this money to buy iCloud/AppleOne....much more useful, can back-up everything and synchronize the file across your M1MBA and iPhone/iPad... welcome to Mac family...=) share more after you use it. |

QUOTE(iXora.ix @ Feb 9 2023, 03:22 PM) Ayy, typo a lot this days haha. Will consider your suggestion. The integration with ip with mba ecosystem is really smooth. Currently familiarizing with the basic usage (single click, right click thinggy) what I list most if able to open .heic format smoothly rather than need to use 3rd part apps in windows. urm can't speak for sure, but I'm using the usb c from my lg monitor that has 96w power delivery for my m1 for close to one year, battery seems doing ok, so should be fine, so long ur charger is really official. Just a quick question, i have the ugreen Gan charger 90W, it is safer to use? since the m1 charger is 30w, worries later overload the battery. Saw at apple website that even 90W apple charger can use safely in mba m1, but not sure 3rd party gan 90w charger can safely use had also bad experience with fast charger and charges my iPhone X, and it become bulky, and the machine charges the repair for rm500, instead of usual battery replacement, so I guess you need to becareful on the charging time especially when you're idle. |

QUOTE(Lurker @ Apr 28 2023, 10:20 PM) Hi, seeking some insight on Apple Protection Plan, as I know applecare+ is not available in Msia. Can someone point out what is covered under the additional 2 years warranty? Hi do you mean 1+2 = 3 years warranty for RM899? If yes, I just purchased quite some time ago, basically like you mentioned, it covers beyond the M1 itself, like the charger and if you travel alot, you will be covered globally.Can I assume it’s similar to the standard 1 year warranty with a new device? Manufacturer defects, batt/hardware issues |
