bump

I find it odd that Apple themselves are not opening pre-order, straight sell outright on release date. Question is.. when

there is a rumour of 14inch mbp in 2021 , how true is that ? i would wait for it to be released to purchase just to see whether they offer 4 ports or not

itworld salesperson said demo unit coming middle of the month but he cannot confirm whether there will be units for sale right away.

MCK's words have been proven to be reliable for years. If he says 14" and 16" with mini-LED is going to come next year, then it's going to come.

Hi sifus, I’m planning to get a mbp13”, and I have 2 questions:-

1. Which one is better, the 6,399 with M1 chip or the 7,999 with 2.0 quad core i5?

2. Are there any news that’s the 14” is coming soon? Coz i’d grab a 14” anytime over the 13”

Tyvm!

1. M1 chip, no doubt about that.

2. 14"? Rumoured to be released in 2021.

Next month is 2021 thinking if I should hold back...

Heard that the m1 pro basic is as powerful as the 16” basic? Is that true?

5-7 days for delivery. Sounds good!

I used the i9 16”, 16gb and currently running on the 8gb MBP. It’s as good as the rumours and reviewers say. It does things faster than my 16” but it doesn’t spin the fans.

I have the mba basic too, and have compared the two.

I’m sticking with the MBA cuz the difference in performance for WHAT I DO, which is reading business news, typing, and using “thinkorswim”, the difference is non-existent

I edited and rendered a 5 minute video (4K) with very basic colour correction, a background song, some text, and the MBA was 30 seconds slower to render. A total of 4 minutes vs 3.30. Scrubbing 🧽 was super similar, no lag nothing. So the user experience is similar.

I do have a 5% voucher to order any MBP if anyone’s interested. You just need to give me a RM100 deposit, I’ll order and pay first, and you can give me the remaining when the laptop arrives. However, it will arrive only late December to early January, cuz of the supply limitation

Same just ordered too! But because Apple sent me an email saying it's available now. Hahah. Congrats on your purchase man!

thanks bro for all the review.

so does it mean the new M1 air/pro outperforms the 16" in every ways (including battery)? if its so means the 16" became redundant for now compare to the new M1 chip units? until they put the new chip in the 16"?

Tonight walking into Switch outlet to order a 16gb config MBP with 512gb!
