Honestly the computer is smart enough to not charge when it's full - it will switch the power source to AC adapter when it's full, meaning it won't charge at all.

I'm a constant plug in guy, I only cycle my battery once a week, same practice I've been doing for years and my battery health are always pristine - low charge cycle = better secondhand value as well. Just keep it plugged in and cycle it at least once a week to discharge and recharge again.

Bro just use the 140w and use a usb c to usb c instead of the magsafe3, should be good enough…

yeap, but I’m not too particular with MacBooks battery health compare to iPhones..mainly coz we won’t be upgrading it on a yearly basis..and by time it’s due for an upgrade at least 3 years from now, or 5 years+, I don’t think it affects the resale value that much (unless you are planning to sell it after a year or so)..and I think buyers know what they are buying, for a 3-5 years old machine they wouldn’t expect a super high battery health MacBook.a pristine condition unit without scratches/dents etc is more important..

Any idea how much they charge to replace a brand new 16” MacBook battery?

What is your delivery timeframe? Mine is 8-15 Dec..shipped but stucked at Shanghai since yesterday.

mine still stuck at processing, aiks not same batch/ship

You will be surprised by the questions potential buyers will ask, even for a used product

We're talking about Malaysians here

Battery replacements could range between 500-800++ depending also, but don't worry too much la, Macbook batteries are tough and built to last, unlike most Windows laptops.

True that lol, shouldn’t underestimate Malaysians expectation even on used items

Yea should be about 800+ coz I read Apple charges around 200usd in other countries..I wanted to say if we are selling it years later then can just replace the battery to fetch higher price..but if its 800+ then forget it lol…just hope I don’t get tempted next year and upgrade again lol

Yeah mine also 8-15th but still under processing..

I'm having this weird issue, anyone can share screenshot trial for istat menu or tg pro? My mac is base model 14", so 8 core meaning 6 performance core and 2 efficient core right? Somehow mine is 8 performance core and 2 efficient core

Edit: or it is this 2 software fault?

just receive bad news from DHL..Shanghai restricting movement. Hence they limiting inbound and outbound in the airport. So expect to receive your macbook abit late.

I am using Iphone 11 so that's the only apple ecosystems I have. Personally I really want to try out Mac and it's OS but also fear that it might not work well for my work. Heard some friends' stories that it is not user friendly compare to windows.


I think my biggest usage if i changed to Mac will be MS office so I don't think it is an issue. Do you have any problem using MS office in Mac? Heard that it is not as stable as windows. Is that true?

thanks bro, but i'm actually looking for the cable that plugs into the wall/power socket. its still listed in apple store (below) but currently unavailable for quite some time already.. hence i'm wondering whether anyone noticed/was aware the cable is still available in retail shops (none in machine and switch online store though).

ms word crashed a few times after migrating to my new mbp, but after a clean installation, all good (i suspect due to old configuration issues). so if ms office is your concern, then you should just choose mac!

Hi, so that means i should choose mac or PC?

any two pin cable works actually, unless you are particular about it having that white bit that slides into the power brick

mac of course! haha
well the issues i'm countering is due to migration, with fresh installation ms office run like the breeze in mac

yeah, i saw a few third party power adapter extension cable (OEM or not - not sure haha) on lazada/shopee, but yes the while color wont exactly match the power brick color
if apple no more producing that cable, then have to go ahead and order that third party cable..

A new OS will definitely get some use to. If you are willing to learn, you will soon find windows unbearable.
