QUOTE(lazyserv @ Jul 6 2021, 07:50 PM) Hi guys, need some advice over here. Yes. Go for 16gb. 8gb is not enough. Lucky i opt for 16gb and never regret. I thinking to grab MBP M1 need some advice on my usage. Mostly use for paperwork, basic photo editing (PS & AI), watching movie, music. I guess won't go for gaming at anytime now. So I was thinking do I need to get 16GB ram for 256GB model? Storage wise I think if there is a need, I can always look for external hard-disk right? Sorry for noob question, this will be my first MBP, am previous Window user. For storage, M1 got some issues with ssd speed. My previous intel mac can achieve 1gbps but now can only achieve 500++mbps. Overall an external ssd would do. Even for 500mbps is still fast. Mac was never meant for heavy gaming. |

QUOTE(biggie @ Jul 12 2021, 10:36 AM) Hopefully you are correct as I ordered the baseline 8GB and 256GB storage. Status still processing ..sigh I bought 16GB 256GB. It took 10 days to ship from China. Like mentioned above, base model tend to be faster but it all depends on situation as it may vary. And as usual now looking for various accessories. Coming from Lenovo Mix520, where accesories are scarce I found for this macbook got too many. Anything essentials? My work involves mobility (need a good and slim back) and i like to get some protection for my macbook air (expensive item). Also will need more ports. How is the camera and mic as now wfh and will need to have all the main online meeting platform to work correctly microsoft team, zoom, webex and google meet. with my lenovo miix i use my samsung s8 AKG and it works perfectly hopefully no problem here. Will value any suggestions. This is my 1st time to have a mac as my go to laptop. U might wanna get a reliable dongle or hub. Also branded hard case. Cheapo case will not perfectly fit. Bought a cheapo case before n regret it. I straight away bought Spigen Thin Fit. Never been happier. The speaker and mic is good. Also any earphones or headphones will work as well. |

QUOTE(sol_badguy @ Jul 12 2021, 11:30 AM) Is it reliable to buy high value item from oversea? Will you have to pay taxes after the product has landed? From Apple own website, yes. Its the only place u can customized your mac. The place of origin will depends either SG or PRC. But most customized mac will shipped from PRC. Nope. Didn’t pay anything after landed.

QUOTE(tehoice @ Aug 11 2021, 01:18 PM) it depends on one's needs i guess. for me i don't really do rendering, etc. very very minimal of those, 8gb would be more than enough for me, easily for the next 5 years. running normal apps simultaneously can eat more than 8GB. This is me running spotify and chrome with multi tabs..... Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(Jenn77 @ Aug 13 2021, 03:06 PM) 16GB would be betterfor any videos editing, yeah 8GB is enough but its just bare minimum requirement. 8GB is enough if only run 1 app at 1 time. if running multiple apps, might wanna consider getting more RAM. |

QUOTE(faidz85 @ Aug 16 2021, 08:58 AM) Hi, I am looking to buy my first apple product in like...ever. I found out about the education store. And it seems like I can just checkout the cart without any sort of verification. one time purchase every year for each apple id.Is it okay to get from the education store? I would be able to save quite a lot since I am planning to get the 16/512GB version. Edit: I am not sure to get the 16/512 or 8GB/1TB version. Thanks. i would go for RAM rather than storage. portable SSD are cheap nowadays Jenn77 liked this post

a protector film for a non touch screen computer is unnecessary in my opinion.

QUOTE(ruxyn_tang @ Sep 5 2021, 09:22 AM) Hi all. I'm thinking of buying the MBA. Doing some research - what's a good recommended hub since the MBA only has 2 ports? Already need 2 USB ports for house and external keyboard usually. Also I've been reading a bit on the PD thing (but don't totally understand fully) that could brick the device, is that something I should worry about? Been using this combo.Attached thumbnail(s) |

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? similar to standard warranty. its an extension of your warranty period.Can I assume it’s similar to the standard 1 year warranty with a new device? Manufacturer defects, batt/hardware issues This post has been edited by firdausbhari: Apr 30 2023, 03:48 PM |
