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?

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

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

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.

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.

Isn't this the already "newer" MBPs?

Trackpad is indeed great, but Mac OS shortcut keys are all over the place, lacked consistency like Windows'.

It has to be posting date. Your chance is slim. Should've just walk in to Apple reseller and customise one and let them charge you immediately.

Invoiced date was earlier than that, correct?

Received mine today. Fast indeed, but Chrome is sucking it dry. lol.

I think I can live with that. Unplugged since 12pm, I have 48% left now. Had a couple hours break to go for dinner.

Still miles better than my old MBP.

Oh, and I just realised, it power up from shutdown if I tap/press on trackpad. I realised even the any key could power it up. It's the standard behaviour since 2018 model.

Sleep (or hibernate, I don't think I could force hibernate). Didn't shutdown.

Firstly, identify what do you do on your current PC and find out if Apple M1 has same (or similar) software support.

Wow.

I'm sure you have a more exhaustive list on picking a spouse?

Considered my self lucky (?), most of the app that I needed working in M1 (from Intel Mac). Now just wait for Google Drive sync app to support M1.

Ordered mine on 20th and received on 4th. You top up the spec to max?

Sweet!

Migration on next upgrade gonna take ages.

1st, throw away that mouse.
2nd, try to live without right-click drag. It's difficult in Mac w/o a mouse (that's because of 1st)
3rd, live with the inconsistent shortcut key structure in Mac.

Other than these, I think everything is good.

Palm rejection is excellent too, with that trackpad being such a huge size.

Windows could never do that... Haven't experience Microsoft's own devices though. Their might be not bad.

There are the equivalent in Mac called Pages, Numbers, Keynote... etc.

There's a BT fix with latest MacOS update. Go check it out.

The fix was mentioned in Big Sur 11.2.
