QUOTE(frostbyte13 @ Dec 10 2020, 01:39 PM) So far if bought directly from Apple website, in future if have issue, can bring to machines, mac city etc? ItWorld Senheng Senq Switch Mac City (ran out of some colours I think?) Machines You pay a deposit online first then select the store you want to collect at. I have not tried my luck to see if you can do the same in a physical store but I didn't wanna risk anything so bought from Apple directly too. 1st Mac purchase & don't want to have a bad experience lol which shop will honor apple care purchased from apple website? |

QUOTE(caffeinionated @ Jan 11 2021, 11:41 PM) Does anyone have this issue where the Globe key (Fn) stops responding and no longer switches between languages after a period of time? I do, it's frustrating. So I use control space for switching input and globe key for emojiRestarting or logging out helps restore it but I just can't seem to find the relevant setting for it.

QUOTE(hshern95 @ Mar 20 2021, 11:08 PM) Today I found out an issue, the simplified chinese input keep not responding after turning on my MacBook.. This caused the system freeze and i need to force restart to resolve it. I think your freeze is caused by something else, I never had any issue with Chinese input.Anyone got this issue before? |

QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ May 1 2021, 08:30 PM) Hi , just asking for some insight . Definetely worth it. Is the Macbook Air M1 really worth the hype ? Currently using a surface pro7 as my portable device . So far the pro7 has been OK , but definitely didn't reach my expectations and the battery life is quite abysmal as far as 2in1 laptops go. Not to mention how bad tablet mode is for windows10. Intel portable chips just suck , It throttles way too much as soon as I open heavy programs like resolve and adobe apps. A part of me had me thinking of just selling the pro7 to get the MB Air . So can I ask from current owners , how is it? Has the display been good for you so far ? How's the performance ? Seeing the videos of M1s performance definitely got me hyped. Do you think its really worth it to drop the stylus support and tablet mode as well as x64 and windows exe. programs for it? Might consider just getting the usual 'conservative' laptop experience if the m1 is truly as exceptional as what people deem it to be. Thanks in advance! CertifiedHomphobe liked this post

QUOTE(eikozai @ Aug 1 2021, 09:17 PM) It never gets hot even in heavy usages, just slightly warm. The warmth is still cooler than my previous MBA2013 in idle mode without any apps running. I used to worry also, because Malaysia weather so hot. But the truth is, normal usage, it gets just about slightly as warm as an ipad. During the hottest it can get is during software update, where the CPU is constantly high load for 10+ mins, even that, warm to the touch only, the area above the keyboard. My old laptop charger gets even hotter. Even usb C dongles that connected to the MBA gets hotter than the MBA itself. eikozai liked this post

QUOTE(ianpea @ Aug 5 2021, 01:40 AM) Which usb hub is better overall? Any usb C hub sure will get warm one regardless of brand. Even single usb C to hdmi adapter also will get warm. MBA is so efficient that the hub gets more warm than the laptop itself. Anker Power Expand+ https://shopee.com.my/product/148120148/625...16-1628098611.9 vs UGreen https://shopee.com.my/product/64923440/2631...16-1628098688.9 Im looking for long term use and preferably not hot to touch and reliable. If you guys have any recommendation do let me know too. Also does PD work nicely now does iit still brick laptops? Asking for my MBP M1 If your usb hub has pass through charging it will get even more warm. But won’t be too hot to touch la. Consider normal. To avoid the heat I use usb C to display port cable to plug to my monitor. If use the hdmi port from the usb C hub, the hub gets warm even without the power supply through it.

Does toggling the option "Show recent applications in dock" do anything for you guys?
For me there will always be a list of recent apps appearing in my dock. All the options do is just remove the separator. |

QUOTE(sp6068 @ Nov 27 2021, 06:15 PM) I don't think Microsoft release the M1 compatibility for Office yet. I believe it's using Rosetta which is why you're not getting the most outta it. I check in activity monitor, my microsoft office is "Apple" version, no Intel. I think you need to check for updates for your MS office. ![]() |

QUOTE(sp6068 @ Feb 13 2022, 01:38 AM) Has anyone used their 1 year warranty to replace their non defected battery? Was thinking of using the warranty on the last month of coverage just to change the battery to a brand new one I'm not sure if Apple allows to change a functioning battery after 1 year of usage. I got mine since Malaysia launch in Dec 2020, after 1 year 1 month later, 96% health after 157 cycles. How's your battery status?![]() |

QUOTE(eikozai @ Feb 14 2022, 02:53 PM) Apple have a standard set of criteria to be categorised as “Faulty”. Example, below 800 charges your battery health drop below 75%. If u can show Apple ur battery have met those criteria, then they are more than willing to replace for u. At the apple care page, it says that below 80% capacity can get replacementBtw, take it for a pinch of salt on what i give as an example, u need ask Apple through Apple LiveChat for actual diagnoses from Apple. Not u say wan change then can change. These corporates are not first day in the market, they know ppl are taking advantages here and there. https://www.apple.com/my/support/products/mac/ ![]() eikozai liked this post
