Ditto that! 14" was my initial plan but the price diff between 14" max and 16" max is just like 1-2K difference, and for a 16 to 17K laptop that is like 10% price difference.

I travel around a lot but I guess I will never edit when I'm away from my workstation, even so my current M1 MBP should be able to handle those minor urgent stuffs (i don't plan to sell it, yet).

So...16" yolo?

I'm actually really curious how Dota2 works on the Max chip, not that I have a lot of time to play games, but I really want to be able to hop on memory lane lol miss the game so much! (which the previous Macbooks dont allow at all, subpar at best)

Trust me bro m1 max is going to dominate dota2 coz running on the current m1 map 13” is already more than enough power…tomorrow I’ll test it on my colleagues mba 13” and let you know, I got a feeling even the mba handles it well..

16” or 14” hmmm this is going to be a dilemma till it really launches here..I’m leaning more towards the 14” now for the lighter weight and no significant spec boost on the 16”, the 2k difference could be used to customize it further…

the macbook & m1X stress on GPU capability for content creation, but clearly, low-end or integrated GPU can't meet the demands of most creators. I'd rather buy nvidia studio certified creator laptops to fulfil all my creation needs and get speedy 3D rendering.

A2485 status showing approved in Sirim database today (1st Nov).

So both 14/16” sirim approved, should be coming to us soon then, get your cards ready!

Another pain of playing games on a mac - that constant struggle of pointing the cursor at the 4 corners of the screen or just CMD+Q and quit the application hahaha!

Any idea/shortcut to disable these in a pinch (like a macro)?

LoL....Command Q = kill

you can change it from the setting! Hope it helps.

The wait is killing 😅

Apple store Thailand has even started selling it

what to do, we are considered always one of the last.

Yea painful wait.. thought sirim already approved.. shouldn't be too long more before they launch here I hope..

The Macbook availability here has always been 4 weeks after the official announcement. So expect third week of November. Pre-order by the authorized resellers may start next week.

This means Thailand market for Apple is larger than Malaysia?

Definitely, that’s why they got 2 Apple stores opened in Bangkok while we don’t

Hmmm, I wonder why is that the case? Do Malaysians consider Apple products too expensive? Or they prefer to go for PCs and Android phones?

I bet there are a lot of facts and figures behind the scenes that only Apple themselves know..but in general Apple will only open in countries they see profit hope we will have one in msia one day

You look at our retarded gomen and our economy situation and you will know why...

Perhaps because of the population; 32 million vs 85 million.

true that, population almost x3, revenue also x3...and they have quite strong fan base there as well..

Nothing to do with population size, look at SG population with only 5.7mil lol

Relax guys, it is also not released in Taiwan and Korea.
