Reserved..

macbook pro with m1 has my name on...

technically the new macs have just killed all the PCs.

It looks like a very good start.

certainly. it is a game changer...

I want to wait for the 2nd gen and get it while i still have education price

Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

New MacBook Pro Education Price

only 8GB Ram?

Oh dear.. Just completed 11.11 purchases and now this...

My 2012 retina mbp 16gb ram 15 inch is still kicking

But then the ram for m1 macam 8gb jer.. Later i watch the keynote

macbooks with Intel chip like no longer available on the website?

It seems like the whole M1 lineup of Macs, the price upgrade is the same.

MBA's gone. MBP Intel still available.

RAM configurable up to 16GB.

ya. now i saw it...

still 720p FaceTime HD camera... my god... but the keynote like saying the camera is sharper and has better image under low light?

but same resolution??

one thing to note that the new macbook pro with M1 only has Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports. no more 4 ports option...

Studio-quality three-mic array with directional beamforming can be a big deal i think...

besides, all the three new macs are having the exact same M1 chip. look likes it is due to the active cooling that makes the macbook pro performs even better than air?

System on Chip (SoC)
Apple M1 chip
8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores
8-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine

There will be the M2

Same story with intel macs again. Apple is using thermal limits to differentiate performance between MBA and MBP.

ssd/memory : is not user accessible. If you think you may need more storage capacity in the future, consider upgrading at the time of purchase

mac mini / mba / mbp , all not upgradeable . (here , accessible also written on intel macs on mba and mbp ....

512GB SSD is a min req.

How about the new price compared to old?

Does it cheaper or still the same? I forgot about the old pricing liao.

Anyone still rmb?

Aik, the new m1 chip is good ya but dont dream too far hahaha

Same

Soon will have M1 pro, then m1 pro max for the mac pros 😝😝

Was hoping it to get cheaper. I wonder when will we see the realworld benchmarks of the M1 chips.

So M1 lineups still can do bootcamp or not?

should be very soon kut. next week perhaps

Base Model MBP.
Stolen from MBA thread

Curi another one.

M1 MBA 13" 512SSD 16GB RAM VS M1 MBP 13" 256SSD 16GB RAM. Similar pricing, which one would you choose?

Depends whether more storage or having a fan inside the laptop is more important to you.

Btw im using MBP 2015 it still working good enough
So good to see Macs have gone so far and powerful
Looking forward to get one of this when when time comes

Interested on the new M1 chipped MBP, price seemed lower than Intel's? Just wondering how the apps gonna be like. I'm heavy Chrome user, do I still get full Desktop Chrome or it's gonna be iOS version of Chrome?

M arm cannot bootcamp anymore

Would this M1 chip perform much faster than intel? Really doubt.

not suprised it will perform better.

even the A series chip on iphone is already on par with the macbook pro 16-inch Intel processor.

That's the whole point of the M1 chip, to be faster and more efficient than intel chips.

Apple Silicon M1 Chip in MacBook Air Outperforms High-End 16-Inch MacBook Pro

this is mind blown..... game changing for the market

Multi-core


Single-core

That's some interesting benchmark scores. Looing forward to replace my oven hot MBP 2013. 😅

wow...this is really promising.

Should i get the M1 MBP 13 inch or the one with intel chip?

I worried that this first gen M1 MBP will have issues :/

Anyone have idea when it will release in Malaysia? Can't wait to play and twist with it in Apple store, then only decide whether to replace my MBP 2015.

Impressive scores! If the battery life is the same as what they claim to be, Intel should be really worried.

Wish they announced 16' based on the new silicone though.

Unless you decide to wait for a while and to buy it only when the reviews came in.

The most worried part of this M1 chip, is the compatible with the applications.
Those who use for work i suggest wait and see.
Those who use for entertainment can buy anytime.

Any news when we can order it in Malaysia?

But I am in a dilemma now. I used to use the higher-spec Macbook Pro, worried that I buy the M1 Macbook Pro now then next year May they come out with M2 Macbook Pro 😂

so no reason to get Intel MBP anymore?

Not if you need to run Windows, either via Bootcamp or Parallel Desktop.

we dont know which app are supported, just wait released and keep an eye to the review.

Bro, wait out next year. Confirm redesign.

Tunggu dulu for real app tests. Benchmark are a good indicator on how the laptop performs but real app tests may differ greatly due to thermal efficiency of the laptop during prolonged usage

Dont think so, this design expected to last for another 3 years hahaha (no complaints tho)

U using higher spec macbook bro, why want to change then?

🤔

14" macbook pro? maybe.

better wait for mini-LED one to be out.

my current macbook pro 2017 is going strong except the display is having issue but i am using with external dell monitor now.

True, just wait and see the review and the compatible of the apps.

Any idea for photo and video editing? Somehow 8gb is like tak cukup.

Im gonna be upgrading from my macbook air 2020 13" i5!

Can't wait for the macbook pro!

Have you tried calling Apple support? Tell them how you baby your macbook but still ended up having display issues. Might get replaced at no cost.

Any idea when will it be available for delivery in Malaysia?

already sent in to apple for checking. but they said the problem is not covered under any free repair programme. i need to pay to fix the problem myself...

Was that the issue with the display ribbon cable. I think I've heard about it some years back and it was common on MacBook during that year, unfortunately.

not sure. apple's solution is to change the display, need to pay for labour charge too...

it is not cheap either. becos my macbook pro battery is bloated. if want to repair the display, must change battery first else they won't carry out the work. therefore i buy a sgd220 dell 24" full HD monitor to use instead as the cost of repairing the display, is close to buying a new one already. i hardly bring out my macbook pro, so it is still not too bad.

SGD? Ouch...

Since you don't bring out often, meaning you don't open/close the lid much as well? It was called "flexgate" and the display ribbon cable failed prematurely. Macbook from 2016 to 2018, yours fall within these years.

And crappy that they don't replace it under manufacturer's defect. Did you try writing directly to Apple? I managed to replace my battery once out of warranty, at 26th month old. Apple has an "undisclosed battery warranty" for up to 3 years, if I'm not mistaken.

yes. SGD.

they did not acknowledge that it is a manufacturer defects for my 2017 model. There is existing free repair programme for 2016 model.

you are rite, one year i bring my laptop out less than 10 times. so my laptop is always in the same stage that the lid is opened.

I was speaking to apple directly. I brought my macbook pro to apple orchard.

battery i managed to get it replaced once for free becos it was bloated. this round they did not repair for free becos of the repair of the display i supposed. but i dod believe, if I wait until my macbook pro battery to bloat until the stage like last time which I could not even close the lid fully, they will still replace it for free. i dun think they would rather replace it for free instead of seeing case where there is incident happened for their product due to bloated battery. haha.

Already have few reviews on youtube. But i think mostly from japan

https://youtu.be/edLpWboWQjY

Guys wta, websites are not listed as apps and should not be a problem being used in the new M1 macbooks right???
Example share market websites, should be working perfectly on the new Macs ???

you can test your website with iPad/iPhone.

If your iPad safari can open, meaning the MacBook can open. Hope this helps.

M1 Macs review: The Next Generation by Jason Snell

MacBook Pro review by Matthew Panzarino @ TechCrunch

Depends on what you are doing with your Mac. If you do e-mail, Safari browser and word processing work, the new one is good.

But don't buy it if you are doing video editing and Adobe work. It's slower than their older brothers.

Thanks.

Blown away by the reviews!

Are you sure about that?

I am really tempted to move to the new M1s from my 2016 15s.

But waiting for the newer MBPs to see what's the future lies for the entire lineup.

Isn't this the already "newer" MBPs?

16 MBP with M1 chips ain't out yet

Your case is very similar to my 12" MacBook, used only like 10-20 times a year but the display started to show discolouration. Apple refused to fix it for free and if I take it out to repair, it will cost around rm 3k. I might as well just get a new MBA with that.

YouTube video showing the test results of video editing

Check this video out. This is where I got the info.

All native Mac apps work just fine.

Just those of third party apps that require more work to get them translated to the M1 chip.

totally not correct. you must not have watched any reviews yet.

all the youtubers are mind blown by the new macs with M1.

Any idea when will Malaysia's Apple ship their new M1 chips?

No idea, all the shop's FB page (e.g. Machines, Mac City) all had a post says coming soon.

Initially want to get hp envy 13 but after seeing all the review might as well topup a "bit" and get M1 macbook air instead.

Microsoft productivity software is avaliable right? It's been a long time since I last use Mac. That time use boot camp to load up windows. So not sure what is the current scenarios.

Do I need to have something like boot camp or does the software (office) natively available?

Microsoft 365 is available as in native app....but you need to pay lah.

update:

this is the new video on Microsoft Office Suite --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKl4_4fBp7I

time to throw Intel's shares.

I hope there's a 12" Macbook with Apple M1 and chiclet keyboard. Make a lot of sense using the M1 in the tiny chassis.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

looks like apple has no such plan.

i always think that 12", 14" and 16" will make the complete line-up for different needs.

i always find having same size macbook air and pro are totally redundant.
especially now both models are using same chips and the gaps are rather small...

Are there any issues with running the x86 software on emulation on the M1 laptops? Or we have to wait until the native M1 apps are available?

This post has been edited by engseng: Nov 22 2020, 06:17 PM

What I have seen so far regarding x86 emulation:

- Rosetta 2, runs x86 mac software, so far seems quite good.
- Crossover, suppose to run windows x86 software, not sure how good it is
- Parallels running Debian 10 (Linux), was shown briefly during wwdc 2020
- Steam game not being able to play, people trying to play steam games but getting error

Jeng jeng jeng, its coming boys!



Mac mini not yet.

how long after approval does it get to store shelves? Do you have any estimates? I need to get one before December and I am almost considering getting another laptop (very urgent)

This post has been edited by stgian211: Nov 24 2020, 10:18 AM

Sometimes, approved already doesn't mean that Apple would be eager to sell it. For example, iPhone 12, they approved 1 day before announcement day but ended up retracted the SIRIM approval and then, waited for almost a month to start selling here.

So the line is pretty vague on when they will start selling.

But of course, let's estimate a date. Leakers said that Apple have something planned for the holidays = December/Christmas which means they might do a press release announcement on the 7 8 or 9th December and release their new stuff on the next week's Friday. Sometimes, Apple love to put their pre-orders together with other products in other countries so I'm guessing around 6th or 12th Dec for pre-order and the following week to be in stores.

Aite. thanks bro.. seems like I might have to go with another laptop man I really wanted that performance

Wahhh thanks for sharing and giving us hope.

sad, i am waiting for the mac mini, selling my PC!

mind to share which link can check this? want to monitor myself

Here you go
https://ecomm.sirim.my/sirimenquiry/search_model.aspx

I'm actually building an app that can notify a user whenever a new product is approved by SIRIM.
If anybody wants to try out first hand, lemme know
