QUOTE(EpsilonStar @ Nov 25 2020, 02:49 PM) There are genuinely ppl who really like/appreciate the mac and macos, but have some softwares from windows/x86 not available on new m1 platforms. These are genuine use cases/dilemma. They don't intend to make their life difficult.... my work require visual studio so i always have windows based laptop at home. will definitely get base mac air when available in malaysia. already sold my mid 2014 macbook pro early this year out of all apple products i've purchased i think macbook is the most value for money though i only use it for internet browsing at home for like 5 years. too heavy to bring anywhere  |

QUOTE(KINTREX @ Dec 6 2020, 01:39 PM) Wait for apple Malaysia release😘 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. This post has been edited by faizalmzain: Dec 6 2020, 03:29 PM |

QUOTE(frostbyte13 @ Dec 10 2020, 12:42 AM) Seems for MBA ITworld offering additional Shield Care of 1 year on top of existing warranty. Is it worth? Can this retailer be trusted compared to the other premium ones? Sorry 1st time Mac buyer so not familiar with navigating new product releases. it's free so better than nothing. as of now they're the only reseller that do pre-order. i think switch also confirmed pre order this week but not yet available in their online store.

QUOTE(nonexno @ Dec 10 2020, 10:46 AM) no need preorder dy. website already selling i pre ordered via itworld because of free additional 1 year warranty, hopefully the stock arrive before estimated date since on apple website it is not considered as pre order. most likely i will sell my surface pro 7 since for work i already have office laptop otherwise one of the laptop will seat idle on the table and collecting dust.

QUOTE(rickyro @ Dec 11 2020, 03:32 PM) ish... apple malaysia needs to revise their pricing weih... USDMYR = 4.05 only now... Perhaps RM4099 macbook air would be okay! when i bought my macbook pro back in 2014 it was like RM4099, and a few months later it was revised to more than RM5k. very lucky. |

QUOTE(lurkingaround @ Dec 15 2020, 04:17 PM) . For such a casual use case, most people do not need to buy the over-priced or price-gouging high-end/specced Apple Mac laptops, ie they only need a budget Intel/AMD laptop or Chromebook. Macbook Pro laptops are supposed to be for Professionals or power-users, ie not for Casual or non-power or non-Professional users. ....... Imagine an office-worker foolishly buying a 4WD vehicle, eg Isuzu D-Max and Mitsubishi Triton, to commute to work daily in the city. , But screen is very important for me. I'm not into low resolution laptop so surface or MacBook are my only option. Other than that it has to be able to edit video. I can edit 4k video using iPhone but not surface pro laptop.

QUOTE(lcyeap90 @ Dec 23 2020, 12:27 AM) Hello all sifu, wana ask, do you guys shut down your MBA when you are not using it? I have been using it the way just like ipad/iphone, just closed my screen when i am not using, and the battery still good, maybe just 1/2% decrease overnight. Will this cause any issue/problem? nowadays even windows laptop no need to shutdown. |
