m1 without a doubt

I think u need to do some research regarding the difference between Apple M1 and Intel chipset. Try to understand the core issues, why Apple are moving away from Intel . Both are very different system.

It seems like you are trying to compare your Intel Windows PC experience spec into a (whole new M1 chipset) Macbook, which isn't using the same Intel architecture anymore.

Rather than trying to make the New M1 to fit your Intel spec, its far more useful to try and understand what's the M1 unified chipset about first. And why the M1 isn't same as Intel.

By then, you'd probably better know what you're investing into(not an Intel Architecture).

And hopefully learn that Intel has been causing too much trouble for the MacBook performance, heat and battery issues etc.

Tips 1: The Apple/Intel conflict history helps you the perspective and clarity you are looking for.  :cool2:

Tips 2: You may also find the M1 8gb unified memory act more equivalent to 16GB ram of a standard Intel Laptop. If u r upgrading to unified M1 16GB, that's means u are actually getting more of an equivalent of 32GB ram, Intel laptop. You can find on the YouTube where many reviewers has been testing it's ram capacity and found out it's 8GB unified acts more like a 16GB.

Tips 3: Why the M1 8core gpu can play AAA games like Witcher 3, when never before Intel Iris graphic cards could do that?

Tips 4: Why the new M1 Processor can play back 4k videos smoothly, when even the highest spec MacBook Pro 16 inch Intel chipset Core i7/i9 couldn't play back without stuttering.

Tips 5: Why the Apple M1 able to reach 20 hours of battery life but not Intel i5/i7 MacBooks?

For most users, 8GB unified memory is sufficient. 16GB is fine, if you have the additional budget and plan to have an ease of mind without worrying about bottlenecks.

Now you can buy your new M1 Macbook with ease.

Hi guys, Im new in this sub forum.

Just received my new MacBook pro 16gb 1tb,

Its my first mac and I gotta say the Mac OS is far more refined than windows, I'm learning the kinks and tricks of this laptop, any tips for a new mac user here?
And finally I gotta say, its freaking fast! The first laptop that feels like using a phone lol, the user experience is intuitive and refined :hyper:

Hi! I bought MacBook pro 16gb 1TB also but yet to received.
Is it delivered by DHL? Mind to share delivery date stated in email from Apple?

All of u guys ordered online for the student price discount?

I ordered on 10th Dec, payment deducted on 29th Dec
My estimated delivery date was between 12th to 19th Jan. Shipped from Shanghai on 5th, arrived KL today morning.
I expect today or tomorrow shall receive it, but when I ask DHL, she said follow Apple's email which is 15th
That's why I feel weird, , from KL to my place JB cost 7 days  :ranting:
Yes, I still possess student card, which still looks pretty valid  :hmm:

MBP 16/512

24/1 Ordered (ETA 8-16th Feb)
1/2 Card Charged
2/2 Preparing To Ship
3/2 Shipped (ETA 11th Feb)

Now in the tracking website still only shows “shipment picked up” at Shanghai. It also shows next destination as KL - Malaysia. Means no need to transit at S’pore first? 

hmm... still no updates from DHL even after 23 hours... MBP still sitting in shanghai...

Which USB C hub are you guys using?

Update: A quick reading on the Web mentions that don't use a USB hub that has PD charging.. It may brick ur macbook! the non-pd ones no issue

Exactly same here. Been at shanghai for past 48 hours. Maybe the tracking didnt update properly?

Wa.. So little tracking lines... Used to kesana kesini lol

Not really, depends on the courier, you should the amount of detail in UPS' tracking. Everything is listed there.
