Great! When was your order and ship date? Is Apple using UPS? CTO or base Mac?

Oops my bad. I just presumed you bought from Apple Online. Mine’s still processing but it’s only been 2 days.

Yeah but not the MacBook. I got the Mac Mini M1 16/256.

Exactly. I ordered an Acasis TBT3 NVME SSD enclosure from Shopee. Haven't bought the SSD yet but probably a 2TB Gen3 NVME. Maybe a 1TB Gen4. Not decided yet.

I'm concerned about that too. No fan. It's aluminium and comes with a thermal pad. I suppose the whole enclosure will act as a heatsink if it contacts with the SSD nicely. Gen3 should run less hot than Gen4 right? If so, I'm just gonna get a Gen3 NVME. Gen4 is like double the price anyway.

It's this one: https://shopee.com.my/ACASIS-Thunderbolt-3-...0473.5537737308

Let me know it too

Hi guys, wanna check with sifu who are utilizing Time Machine from your M1 MBA.

Referring to screenshot below, did any of you experience this issue when trying to access Time Machine backups dated back before the M1 Macbooks?

just got my unit via DHL yesterday, seems like that shipment delayed I got from apple earlier was a false alarm 

Anyone here has any recommendation for MBA M1 case that wont block hub? I couldn't find it anywhere in taobao nor shoppee

So far mine from 10AM-7PM working on office works - heavy excels & conference calls, end of the day still got 30% juice.
Superb leh.. normally my old MBA 2013 would have to charge 2-3 times already.

What’s your usage like?

Hi any traders here can help me with running mt4 on the new M1 cpu? I tried to install the one from XM and felt heat coming from the laptop, when I checked, the CPU was utilizing at 98% and nothing was on the screen. Anyone had similar problem? I read somewhere might need to wait for macos 11.2 or install the current 11.2 beta to run it properly. Betul ke?

hnmph.. anyone working on heavy Excel files about 150~250MB file?

It seems M1 still incapable to cope with heavy Excel. The loading, saving, and changes updates on cells are taking long time with the color globe spinning for minutes.

I have the Excel file with about 1 million lines per sheet, 6-7 sheets with such enormous data in single file. Mildly coded, as it will hang before i even start codings.

WPS Excel and Microsoft Excel 365 will fail to operate at times. half way savings it freezed and need to be restarted, and lose all works in between.

Opening 4-5 of these enormous files seems tolling on the M1, my CPU temperature can at times, reached up to 85 degrees Celcius. CPU usage however, is relatively low like 15% only.

Hmm.. really bottlenecked.
RAM and CPU really usage not high when running these files.

I haven't really monitor it for recent weeks as my MBA remained charged --> MCO at home only so always plugged in.
I'll monitor tomorrow and keep you updated on my battery drainage.

Good advice.. i think i should turn the plug off when the charge exceeded 80%, and then turned it back on when its reaching 30%.
I'll do a full run-through based on 100% battery tomorrow.. Keep you updated with my drainage based on my works usages.
I'll try it with auto calculate off and monitor if it will improve the overall experiences, especially the freezing part.

This is based on 8 click screen brightness. Normal routine working condition, run fully on battery.

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.

Anyone got this issue before?

Mine happened to freeze randomly previously when launching apps/files and also when savings my data. Its was still in MacOS 11.1 back then.
After the updates to later versions, this issue did not reoccur anymore.
Not to be rude, but may i ask, where u buying ur units from?
As far as i know, Malaysia have no refund policy.
We can only opt for warranty coverage for repairs/replacement.
