No idea haha, first time playing game on a macbook and i saw many recommending WoW and GW2; went for WoW because i cant seem to download GW2 lol!!

Thought I had a portable machine that can play MMORPG and im ok to pay for a good game, but the battery performance is really disappointing (and my lap is literally burning from the heat dissipated)...or did i expect too much haha!

maybe ill try with a lower setting

im a total noob in these, so i just went for "High" instead of the "Ultra high" haha! will try lower setting next time

I have no idea also, i went for WoW (not the classic one), i went for free trial only so didnt have nay expasion.

And thanks for the note, will "lower" my expectation on these haha (i came with the expectation that I can play as long as I can edit on FCPX haha!)

I think it runs better on games like Diablo 3 …generally ARPG use lesser resolution than mmorpg…but again you should be buying a comp to run the game you like, and not the other way round

I think classic or retail WOW (shadowlands) run about the same, both also power suckers…sadly laptops werent catered for high res games…and a MacBook definitely is worse, compare to a desktop…even a rm4500 customed rig run these games smoothly..but yea if you wanna play some games on the MacBook, try Diablo 3 if it suits you…we have a section here for d3 gamers where you can find some members to run rifts/ greater rifts, definitely make game experience better than solo queue..

Honestly the battery on the Mac is pretty awesome.

I can play Football Manager running and YouTube + Airplay for around 3-4 hours and still left with 30+% at the end, compared that to my previous Razer Blade 14 that only lasted under 2 hours and died.

It's pretty decent already. For non-intensive work, I don't even need to bring the charger with me for 1 day use - the battery is really a breeze on this beast.

Haha im just "testing" it out, cant be bothered too much about games actually, just got some spare hours to burn so why not test it on my work laptop haha!

Haha ok…it’s a good testing anyways, at least now you can benchmark this for any future usage..good info for us too

Seriously impressive. I run dual monitor (2nd 1080p), able to multitask with docker + work + playcover genshin + hitman via windows 11 arm via parallels. i was surprised windows 11 arm actually quite butter smooth.

Below screenshot is quite heavy:

Yeap it handles all those well..how about the battery? How long do they last when you run those?

Hey guys, I wonder how you guys do the windows parallel? You need to get the license for download first right?

Can click the light blue button which says "download free trial"

Bought this leather sleeve for my MBP 14” and I’m 100% satisfied with the look and quality. It’s slim and fit perfectly. The grey color really complements the space grey MBP.

I just use Ikea's Mala for my MBP14 https://www.ikea.com/my/en/p/mala-portable-...e-red-60459892/ 😇

trial version from website, if ok then can purchase afterward. When I found out can use parallel to run my x84 application, i hit buy immediately.

Nice, how much did you paid for this?

It’s RM75 for 14”. RM81 for 16”.

Has anyone order get cancelled out of sudden? I'm supposed to get the MBP 14 by 10-17 December, although last time I check yesterday, it still says processing. Now it says "This item was cancelled on December 14, 2021 and you have not been billed for it.".

Never heard of item being cancelled, usually only delayed..check with apple CS to see why the order being cancelled..
