Machines Pavilion said release could be early next week and current Intel lineup (which they still have stock) will likely get price reduced.

Fingers crossed!

Stocks reach the shop already? Waiting for Apple to release?

Looking forward!

Superdeal? They always got jalan sideways one. Usually they will bring in US units, but seems like this round its local Malaysian unit.

Yea Superdeal. I chat with their customer support inside Shoppe they told me those are HK/US units. But not sure why the review is MY unit. If really is MY unit then means that the stocks already in MY, but Apple don't want to sell yet. And Superdeal can get those stocks.

Then again, I would rather just wait for official units since its almost the same price.

I know superdeal’s units are already ‘running’ units, meaning the warranty will be much lesser (period) when you get your unit.

Ohh is it? Thanks for informing! Because actually, this is the first time I heard of them hmm.gif

From what I know at least for Airpods Pro that I bought (from SxxHxxx), it comes in 2 types of government approval papers inside. One is MCMC and the other is Thai's MCMC or gov.
Usually, you can see that they have Thai characters @ the box's description there along with English and Made for Malaysia. You can check your newly bought toys to see if you have the "sticker" on your box. *hopefully it's not mine only

So I'm guessing that this person's unit is a "joint venture" unit for MY and another country. Since MCMC adi approved, they can just put the "certificate" in the box.

Plus, the do not need to like specify like "oh this is MY unit" when the Macs are made pretty much the same for every region unlike iPhones, iPads and Watch.
PS since Thai and our power plug is diff, I'm guessing this is a SG unit.

Err my iPad Pro box that I bought earlier this year don't have Thai characters on the box. hmm.gif

I am just curious and hopefully the MacBook already arrive in Malaysia, and we can buy it real soon blush.gif

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.

Have you purchased from Superdeal before?

I just ordered a MBA and MBP from super deal. Will update when it arrives.

Decided to do it cuz the feverish demand for the M1 chips would mean that I would have to wait for a while before I could get it. However I sold my MBP 16” as soon as the reviews came out to minimise the price loss. So kinda stuck to my desktop for now.

This is gonna be funnnn! My friends in Austria 🇦🇹 have said that the performance is as good as the reviews said, with some having sold off their 16” MBP’s too.

Nice! What is the ETA?

Yep! Same. It’s preactivated but I ain’t fussed Lah.

The laptop arrived a day after I ordered. It runs laps around my i9 16”.

The rumours are true. It’s as good as they say. Blazing fast and smooth. I use an app called thinkorswim that spins my 16” fan like mad once the multi screen chart is turned on.

This one, I can look at 8 charts and it still doesn’t turn the fan on.

And it’s also noticeably smoother

Ha! Nice!

My MBP M1 just can't connect to my M590. No matter how many time I reset.

So I have to use a dongle to use the mouse.

What do you mean by the Bluetooth version of the mouse?

It is Connection type: Bluetooth Smart and 2.4GHz wireless connection from what I see in Logitech website.
