when you mentioned trackpad is the trackpad on the mac right? I thought additional trackpad pula.. haha

I actually mention both the trackpad on the MacBook and also an external trackpad (rm489)…however you don’t need the external trackpad if you don’t use an external keyboard…

It’s hard to use external keyboard and switch your hand to move on the MacBook trackpad, you need both side by side hence the external

Oh yea now need to verify with UNIdays lol, a lot already purchased their macs anyways..

Looks like they also changed their policy to only student or staff…no longer accepting parents who fund their kids in the k12 education…so it’s either you are studying or lecturing now sweat.gif

No I’m not planning to update yet, the last round when I can’t charge my mbp (before finding out it’s the cable issue), many reported the issue came from 12.0.1…so I’m a little skeptical going for 12.1…will probably hold back for 2 weeks and see how it goes..smile.gif

btw I’m using usb c to charge now, not using MagSafe for time being as I don’t need the super fast charge…usb c can fully chaege it under 2 hours anyways..

I'm using the 12.1 and I can attest that the charge does work when its off.

But yeah charging speeds is not important to me, but if your usage does not require the full 140w then its fine. Beauty about M1 Macs is that they are so power efficient unlike Windows AMD / Intel chips. Even on USB C at 100w is not enough to power a gaming laptop at 3/4 load.

ohh ok, I didn’t get a chance to test the MagSafe coz I’ve not received the cable yet (ready for collection since last Tuesday but I was too busy to pick it up)…been using usb c and happy with it, hence not planning to even use the MagSafe at all (for now tongue.gif) anyway I charge like once every 2-3 days so it’s ok..

Yeap beauty of the new mbp battery, especially on the 16”, can really last long on normal usage..

Nice to see 4K HDR back on Safari @ YouTube, previously was super buggy.

This is the latest 12.1 Monterey

Most people already got theirs, and I guess that’s why it triggered apple to implement the UNIdays verification sweat.gif

This one i am not sure about it so have to check with IT. By the way, I can get Logitech Mx Master 3 instead of Magic Mouse. tongue.gif

Do you find scrolling on the mx master 3 not smooth or lags?

Mine is ok, actually I use it on my mac mini with High Sierra, so not sure if it’s MacOS problem. Have you installed the latest Logi Options?
