Just ordered custom build mac mini m1 from apple malaysia website using public bank debit last week. The status on public bank still unposted. Usually how long will it take for the bank to clear the transfer? Really need it asap for my work.

QUOTE(soonwai @ Jan 14 2021, 05:36 PM) Ordered mine too on Jan 13 but my credit card was not charged. There was just this RM0 transaction when I placed the order. Hmm. Until now, my debit card still not deduct (unposted). Whats your status?Update: What a coincidence. Right after I wrote the above, I went to check and my credit card has been charged for the Mac Mini. Also received SMS for the charges.   |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Jan 19 2021, 11:17 AM) Out for delivery! 6 days ahead of ETA. I’m very jealous. Just cancelled my order and reorder again at Apple Store Malaysia thinking that the 1st order got problem. I had emailed the public bank customer service regarding the payment that had been hold for a week. They said its up to the merchant aka apple to confirm the purchase then the payment will be cleared. Now back to the waiting game. So sad.Thunderbolt enclosure delivered. One more thing to go. Mac mini delivered. |

 Finally shipped! But why i got my money back in my bank account? Early on, my bank account updated with the Apple Store (UNPOSTED) status disappeared & the money restored to my account. Then 3 days later, the status on the apple store changed to 'shipped'. I thought apple had cancelled my 2nd order. Am i getting mac mini for free? Or they will deduct after the parcel had been delivered. Hmm.. |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Feb 3 2021, 01:15 AM) For those updating to macOS 11.2, please be patient and let the process finish. Ok. So, just wait for the update to finish. Mine just arrived yesterday morning but still in box. Today will buy normal speaker to go with it before unbox it.When I updated mine last night, it started off fine then had minutes of black empty screen, then the monitor went out of sync and displayed "digital static" and then more black screens. It restarted at least 2, 3 or 4 times. I thought something was wrong and was tempted to power off and on the Mac Mini. Just be patient and wait. Eventually it finished and booted up properly. I dread to think what would have happened if I had gone ahead and power cycled the Mac Mini. |

Now that i had playing around with the machine, so far the performance is just ok from my honest opinion. Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effect was just ok. I understand that the adobe suite is still not optimized. But it is so much better than my old windows pc. The storage also occupied very quickly. Thank god that i bought 16gb/1tb spec. For those who just do casual work, i think it is quite ok for that.

QUOTE(quadcube @ May 23 2021, 01:45 PM) I usually just wrap it in a t-shirt and put in my backpack, so far so good I used this bag. https://s.lazada.com.my/s.2fOeO I always travel using this bag for my mac mini. Got display monitor between 2 homes. So, no need carry a monitor.  |
