u are rite, the bottom part indeed does not look nice. the display part (top part) to me is totally ok even the notch. if u ask me, i prefer not to have those ports but have the same old slim design for the bottom and squarish design also.

it also makes the macbook pro a lot heavier now - u are rite that it goes back to 2012 time that kind of weight.

if u guys notice, now apple totally does not sell any intel-based macbook any more. all are either M1/M1 Pro/M1 Max only.

only mac mini still have intel based variant selling.

it also means that bootcamp is totally eliminated unless there is official released of arm based Windows next time.

Also need to consider the portability lol
But they made 14 and 16 so close in terms of specs.. Only 2 core difference.. Others are pretty much the same.. 14" is going to be a huge power house and easier to carry around..

I guess the redesign is at 2022 as was rumored after all. Disappointing. But I am so glad the magsage is back.

The 120hz adaptive display is not fixed right? Meaning when gaming it will still be at 60hz and only on certain media content it will jump to 120hz on situational basis?

Middle spec of M1 Max with 24-GPU-core seems like a good balance. But add another RM800 and you’ll get additional 8-core of GPU though.

Now Im thinking to let go of my Intel 16gb 2020 MBP.

But again the 14 inch weighs more than the current 2021 M1. How i wish it was lighter for portablity. and thinner

I presume that the Touch Bar was supposed to be a stepping stone towards implementing a full LCD display in place of the keyboard, so the MacBook Pro was supposed to have two displays one on top for the screen and the bottom one is the keyboard.

Looks like that didn't work out, so we got the physical Fn keys back. But as for the Touch Bar, the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo may have a better implementation for the secondary display.

There is a big price hike in electronics in the past year. Rtx3080 laptops costs at least rm10-17k+ while Apple’s claim on their M1 processors which outperform them while having similar ram/ssd, much better screen and build quality costs cheaper/same. No one can make the same argument that Apple laptops are overpriced now since their hardware performance is well ahead now.

yea definitely getting.. been waiting for it since March and held myself back coz I heard of the redesign.. so suffered for so many months.. now another issue is whether to get 14" or 16" since the price gap is only 2k..back then price gap is about double the price between 13" and 16"...sweat.gif

If u love to use large screen and not really using any external display, just go for the 16. I’m am an ex 16inch user and the screen looks really great to do all the stuff that you need.

If u already have an external 4k display, perhaps u can go for 14inch. However, once u got so use to the mbp line Retina display, it’s so hard to adapt to even those higher price tag 4k monitor . Some of the mac features like True Tone is not supported on normal 4k monitor. Unless we have the cash to buy apple pro xdr display .

It’s different now though compared to before when 16” is so much of a power house compared to the 13”, even the base 16” beat the customed 13” far far ahead (unless you max out the 13” specs)….now with them pushing 14”’s spec so close to 16” (in fact everything is the same besides the 2 cores), there is really much reason to go 16” unless you really need the bigger screen…in a way it’s a blessing now we can go 14” for the mobility yet have almost the same power as what the 16” could offer smile.gif

Which 4K monitor are you using?

These new MacBook Pros have that Liquid Retina XDR display which use mini-LED with 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. That's a lot better than most of the 4K LCD monitors out there that only have 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Unless you guys are using LG C1 for your monitor which has near infinite contrast ratio cool2.gif

it also makes the macbook pro a lot heavier now - u are rite that it goes back to 2012 time that kind of weight.

2015...? Seriously...? confused.gif rclxub.gif blink.gif

You guys should have your eyes examined... laugh.gif

This 2021 bottom looks more like the original MacBook Pro/old PowerBook G4 bottoms before the unibody designs.

2008 onwards up until 2015 has a much more tapered-edged bottom corners until Jony Ive screwed the design up with his thinness obsession...

For all it's worth I prefer the previous 2008-2015 design...

The 2021 design is hideous especially with the stands (legs whatever you wanna call it) jutting out from the bottom... Jobs and Ive will never have approved... tongue.gif It's a good thing they didn't follow the iPhone/iPad squarish design thru and thru... There are things that look nicer on smaller things, doesn't mean the same design language speaks the same elegance on larger items...

In short, another boring design for the next 5 years or more... yawn.gif

I see. If that’s the case then I won’t be getting a MBP afterall. The 13” was a nice standard entry for me to “feel” like a Pro when I’m owning one laugh.gif

Buying a 14” now is like buying a 15” with discrete graphics back in the Intel days. There is really no difference between the 14” and 16” other than portability and higher res for the bigger screen not to forget a hell lot heavier.

it is not something unique to macbook. other windows laptops have no such features too.

A laptop with sim card slot is only popular while netbook is still popular long long long time ago.

seriously, do not find it a big problem becos one can just tether mobile data from their iphone.
alternative one can just buy a mobile broadband dongle to use sim card with their macbook still.

Yea since there's not really much reason to purposely go 16" anymore (spec wise), for the portability I'll get the 14 anytime..

yeah. unfortunately this 'design' will likely to stay for at least 4 years if looking at the redesign life cycle.

anyway, i am still using my mac mini (2018) - main device that is on 24x7 and macbook pro (2017) as backup device.
they are still 'powerful' enough for my daily usage although they are using the intel chip. so unlikely will upgrade for the next few years still.

good thing about Apple Macs are that they are value for money, which one can easily use it for more than 10 years.
i still have colleagues using 2012 macbook pro now and surprisingly they are still working. tongue.gif

Yea I have colleagues using old mbp too and still going strong now so they have no plans to upgrade.. some initially waited for this redesign 14" but when the price tag goes 8.8k for base model, they decided to skip as well..quite steep imp but if look into all the goodies they put into this, then it's reasonable..

actually if they are normal users, go for M1 macbook air is actually a good choice. tongue.gif

now apple makes the price gap between m1 macbook vs m1 pro/max macbook quite significant. so choosing between them is much more easier actually.

just waiting for the reviews to come out on how much performance the M1 Pro / Max actually provides for real world software.

also does anyone have info on the IP rating ? Main reason I'm using a Thinkpad is for it's basic dust/water protection.

Real world software? Already have the M1 chip as example already. What do you think?

2015...? Seriously...?  :confused:  rclxub.gif  blink.gif

You guys should have your eyes examined...  laugh.gif

This 2021 bottom looks more like the original MacBook Pro/old PowerBook G4 bottoms before the unibody designs.

2008 onwards up until 2015 has a much more tapered-edged bottom corners until Jony Ive screwed the design up with his thinness obsession...

For all it's worth I prefer the previous 2008-2015 design...

The 2021 design is hideous especially with the stands (legs whatever you wanna call it) jutting out from the bottom... Jobs and Ive will never have approved... tongue.gif It's a good thing they didn't follow the iPhone/iPad squarish design thru and thru... There are things that look nicer on smaller things, doesn't mean the same design language speaks the same elegance on larger items...

In short, another boring design for the next 5 years or more...  yawn.gif

Yalor, when i see it i also surprised why they use back the old design. But good also lah, at least it is their own design, not the copy from existing windows laptop.

I love it that they reintroduce the HDMI port back to the MacBook.

A lot of my senior-colleagues uses the 2017 MacBook Pro 15" and they would often complain the lack of HDMI and how the HDMI-adapter would fail them during critical troubleshooting time.

Yes! I have many colleagues who keep misplacing their dongles as they move around the office building going from meetings to meetings. Most of the time, the dongle is still left attached to the HDMI cable! LOL

yeah, based on various youtuber reviews, the current M1 version is already sufficient to handle most of the work out there, or software out there.

so the more powerful M1 Pro/ Max are really designed for the powerful user.

hmmm, it's a personal choice, if i dont need it now (more for future proof reason), i would prefer to save the money up front, go with m1 only.

4-5 years down the road, they will definitely have something better and thus making the "better than M1 chip" version cheaper too.

but again, that's my personal preference.

for a light user like myself, no regret getting the MBA M1 version last month rclxms.gif

won't really need to upgrade easily for the next 5 years, for the tasks that i'm doing on my mba.

I'm still hesitating... Am using a mbp 13" 2017 with i5 8gb ram and 512gb storage. I usually just use my laptop to for excel + ppt + PS AI LR to create posters and to edit photos + web browsing.

Although my current mbp is good enough to fulfill my needs, it has been giving me a lot of problems like the stage light effect and the butterfly-keyboard issues since 2 years ago. I've changed the top case and screen twice but the problems just come back from time to time.

If you guys were in my shoes, would you change to 14" mbp or just stick to the 2017 mbp?

I would suggest getting a 2015 15" i7 MBP. The used price is very reasonable now. The base config has 16GB RAM. It is more than enough for your needs and it is built like a tank. The 2 USB ports, SDXC slot and HDMI port is so so convenient. No issues with display / keyboard like the later MBPs. Just clean the fans, replace the thermal paste, and you're good to go.

If I'm you, since it's time to change ill go for non Intel ones for many obvious reasons, if budget is an issue then get M1.. If no budget issue then M1 Pro... Both also good choices...

If budget is not an issue I will opt for the 14" and put in a M1 Max chip. But you should probably still wait for some reviews and benchmark test before taking the splurge.

u changed the screen and top case (battery?).

i have the screen problem for my 2017 i5 16GB RAM 512GB storage too. The screen will have a 'ghosting' effect after it is turned on for some time. the effect will go away for some time and come back again recurringly.

I changed the top case for 3 times in total also due to the battery bloated issue also. the first two time changed of battery did not help in the problem as apple claimed that there is no issue detected based on the run test. if i insisted to change the display,i need to pay for it which the cost to me i would rather get a new one instead. however, the last battery changed i had done early this year, they reflashed my macbook pro by reinstalling the macOS, suprisngly after that my macbook pro is ok so far. no more having the ghosting issue.

I had used it more than 4 years now, it is still a capable device although it is on Intel processor. to my daily tasks, it is more than sufficent.
so i do not have plan to upgrade any time soon too despite that the new 14" MBP is really cool.

Well, I guess you might not need 1TB storage then. You can take 512GB and save the money to purchase iCloud, either 200GB or 2TB (it work to expand your devices storage). It can sync and back up your files, across all your devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook). I find it very useful, especially the iCloud Photo, iCloud desktop, and iCloud documents.

Randomly back-up 1TB is really time consuming, not safe (low security), ppl can access your external hard disk. Or, you could try back-up with Time-Machine.

Guys, do you have an idea when will the new Macbook Pros be available here in MY? I was initially planning to get the 13in M1 with 16GB RAM, but the price of the new 14in base model is not too far from it. Any thoughts?

Yeap now it comes in 16gb/512gb as base model, from the 13” customized add here and there you will come up close to the 14” price, factoring in all other things like bigger screen, 120hz Liquid Retina, and a bunch of other stuffs….I would just go M1 pro…

Not sure when will be available but should be within 7-14 days…seldom heard or verification on education but it’s not hard with all the education nowadays ie kids studies or home school or kids schooling etc…

Potentially in a couple of weeks? I would go for the base 14" model over the existing M1 MBP. You get the larger screen, pro motion, Mini LED with higher brightness and faster memory bandwidth.

Basically a whole bunch of stuffs more than the 13” M1 MBP, kind of a no brainer decision actually, especially for those who are planning to custom higher ram/ssd, even more reason to go for the 14”….well unless budget is an issue though…

Guys, do you have an idea when will the new Macbook Pros be available here in MY? I was initially planning to get the 13in M1 with 16GB RAM, but the price of the new 14in base model is not too far from it. Any thoughts?
*
There are a list of apps that Apple listed for their performance benchmark as a guidance. If there is a chance you would use it, you should go for M1 pro if you have a limited budget. Otherwise go all out on the M1 max to future proof your laptop.

I remember last time Apple provides the cleaning cloth together with the MacBook Pro. Then later they don't provide the cloth at all. Now they want to charge you for it.

I would go with the 14" hands down.. wouldn't sacrifice all the good stuffs for the touch bar, its a whole lot of upgrades there, especially if no budget issue.

I would definitely get the M1 Pro MBP 14 instead, the additional bandwidth for memory, screen and Pro Motion is already a huge advantage over the existing MBP M1. To me, the screen brightness alone with the M1 Pro MBP 14 makes all the difference as most of the places I work in are fairly bright.

in terms of look, indeed the old 2016-2020 13-inch macbook pro design is still nicest.

no doubt, the new 14-inch is a beast for functionalities in expense of the look.

somehow also i find that the new 14-inch and 16-inch macbook pro have a much more 'matte' feeling body which is not bad actually.

certainly no brainer. it is totally not worth it to get the 13-inch M1 MBP, if u add in the same storage 512GB and RAM of 16GB, the price is just a little bit difference comparing to base 14-inch MBP and not to forget the small difference comes with so many difference in terms of specs.

MBP 2020 Intel 4 ports are not cheap. but still cheaper than my 2017 MBP 4 ports though. haha.

seriously the new 14-inch MBP is considered very cheap for what you are getting comparing to any previous MBP. tongue.gif

actually quite a big difference if one is carrying it on the go.

i bought the 2014 15-inch macbook pro at first because that time they upgraded the 2015 13-inch macbook pro but not the 15-inch.
that time feel that paying a bit extra and get the 16-inch is more worth it. but after carry it for less than 1 week i regret about that. that time the weight of it is 2.02kg which i totally cannot tahan the weight to carry it to work daily. immediately after less than 2 weeks they relased a new 2015 15-inch macbook pro with AMD graphic card. Just lucky that before that I reported heat problem of my 2014-inch macbook pro and apple replaced it with the new 2015 15-inch macbook pro for me. but again after 1-2 weeks of usage i decided to sell it away.

after that I get the 2016 12-inch macbook as replacement. but after 1 year of usage i found it the screen kind of too small for laptop and the processing power is simply too weak. so i sold it away also.

then i decided to get the 2015 13-inch macbook pro (refurbished) because i wanted to keep a last MBP with the glowing apple logo. but after use for less than 2 weeks i found that i do not get used to the scissor keyboard of it after i used the butterfly keyboard for one year plus and also the weight is heavier so i returned it.

eventually i got the 2017 macbook pro (4 ports) and use it until now and bought another 2018 mac mini (refurbished) as my 2017 macbook pro battery was replaced for 3 times since i bought it until early this year as i technically left it on 24x7 like a PC, so the battery cycle is damn low which always below 10 even used more than 1 year. the battery literally bloated every 1 to 2 years thus the replacement. luckily all the replacements were free for the 1st time. 2nd and 3rd times were free also because i was using the butterfly keyboard replacement programme although my keyboard had no issue.

now my 2017 macbook pro is idle in my shelf most of the time as mac mini became my daily computer. it is more suitable for usage of 24x7. although it is on intel chip and performance is really so so as compared to m1 but i need bootcamp so i will stick to it for the moment.

maybe next time then i will consider to get the 14-inch MBP when mac mini started to fail me in terms of performance. tongue.gif

Based on previous availability trend, it usually takes 4 weeks after the official announcement before it becomes available in our market. I’m expecting the third week of November. Authorized resellers may start the registration of interest as early as next week.

Wow that's hell of a mac journey you had within the past decade biggrin.gif yes macbook Intel has limitations, no matter how powerful they were back then, they were still just laptop, cant compare with desktop mac.. I'm sure the M1 mbp has turn things around with the thermal and battery etc, and of course the M1 Pro will be even better.. hope your next upgrade to m Pro chips will take over desktop usage..

Back in Intel days, a laptop is always a laptop with lots of limitations but they provide mobility.. Mac mini can withstand with the hardcore long hours that the Intel mbp can't... Hope the M1 Pro and max will have the best of both worlds

Some reviews are saying the M1 Max 32GPU could run like a RTX 2080. Dota 2 definitely not an issue haha.

MBP if u connect to AC power 24x7, less than a year the battery will be bloated even it is a brand new replacement battery. my 2017 MBP batter bloated for 3 times and i replaced it at apple orchard for 3 times (free though). after the most recent replacement early this year, i no longer use it (it is on standby for on the go usage only) as i bought my mac mini 2018. since mac mini has no battery, i can on it for 24x7 without worrying battery bloated issue.

Wow that's hell of a mac journey you had within the past decade biggrin.gif yes macbook Intel has limitations, no matter how powerful they were back then, they were still just laptop, cant compare with desktop mac.. I'm sure the M1 mbp has turn things around with the thermal and battery etc, and of course the M1 Pro will be even better.. hope your next upgrade to m Pro chips will take over desktop usage..

yeah. next mac i buy certainly will be on M1 since it is not going to have intel mac for all line-up soon. tongue.gif M1 mac the battery life and performance is a bummer. just need to get used to macOS as my daily driver as now I am still on windows (bootcamp) all the time. haha.

now i only worry that that soon apple will not have new macOS upgrade for intel based macs like what they did when they transitted from powerPC to intel mac. although i dun use macOS now. there is no much new features on intel based macs even for the latest macOS 12 Monterey.

my macOS on my mac mini is still on macOS 10.15 Catalina while my 2017 MBP is still on macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

it is a no-brainer to get the base 14-inch instead of similar storage and ram 13-inch.

1.4kg vs 1.6kg
it will be noticeable heavier but no-brainer given the little extra u pay u can get significantly more things out of it.
better display, speakers, webcam, faster SoC/SSD and more ports. really no brainer.

now it is either one can live with lowest spec m1 macbook air by paying the minimum or go with the base 14-inch. no point to get 13-inch MBP at all.

Unless one is looking for something more than what the air could offer, but wouldn't pay 8k+for a base model, then 13" mbp m1 would be a good choice at 5k+ for base..

yup, unless one really wants the macbook pro becos of
1) flat design instead of tapered-wedge on air (pesonally i prefer this)
2) longer battery life of 20
3) better mic
4) better speaker
5) touchbar
6) fan design instead of fanless on air which gives slightly better sustainable performance

based on the rumours, it is good to wait till the next m1 macbook air upgrade. it may have mini-LED which is going to be a game changer.

The design is unlike the previous MacBook with a tapered edge. And the MacBook Pro engraving on the bottom is beautiful, but forget to take a photo of it.

A closer look at the Magsafe port.

Yup. Seriously fanless design on air? Major bummer for me though I would love that lightweight 1.27kg. Also, the one thing I would hope Apple transfer to the 2022 13" Mbp if there is one is the magnetic charger...I really don't care about the rest....

yes, fanless design. but given that it is M1 chip that is so power efficent and most ppl are doing normal tasks on macbook air, so it is ok actually.
for weight i actually love the 2015 to 2016 macbook 12-inch. it is only 0.92kg but too bad the screen is a bit too small.

magsafe is something 'may' not come to macbook air given its slimmer design. the 2016 to 2020 MBP has no magsafe is due to the slimmer design that they ditched all the ports. now 14-inch/16-inch has it back it is due to the thicker design also.

Unless one could get a real bargain, else it is no point to consider 13 MBP M1 anymore IMO.

M1 Air or base 14" MBP is the more sensible choice now.

Well, this is easier said than done, budget come first after all.

Which 4K monitor are you using?

These new MacBook Pros have that Liquid Retina XDR display which use mini-LED with 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. That's a lot better than most of the 4K LCD monitors out there that only have 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Unless you guys are using LG C1 for your monitor which has near infinite contrast ratio  cool2.gif

This is so true… apparently the performance of the Air M1 is not that far off from the base 13” Pro M1 according to most reviewers. That price gap between the base 13” Pro and the base 14” Pro though laugh.gif

Guys, if you all were to purchase this, which colour would you go for?

I'm torn between the Space Grey or Silver.

For previous MacBook Pro iterations, the Space Grey has been looking splendid and has always been my choice. But now with the all-black keyboard (including the keyboard base), not sure if the Silver would provide a nice contrast or not.

Any thoughts?

My heart is leaning more towards Space Grey. Haha

space grey here hands down, with the added thickness and frame size, I would prefer something more subtle, and darker colour seems to tone it down biggrin.gif

Yes 13” one is already quite good but the MBP 14” and 16” is another level now. closet to HomePod mini that kind of sound that has more bass and Low pitch is stronger.

Silver will provide higher contrast with the black keyboard for sure.

However, I prefer space grey. Silver to me is not even considered as a colour since it is just what a metal will look like naturally. Haha.

certainly no fight for 13". tongue.gif except that the slimmer design still looks better. but really no point to get the MBP 13" which i suspect soon it may be removed from macbook line-up too. even touchbar is like the 3d touch on iphone will likely to be gone for good even on MBP 13".

now on apple product page, under MBP, they list the starting price of 14" as default instead of 13" even 13" is still MBP althought it is no longer pro at all while comparing to 14".

my suspect is once macbook air is upgraded next year, 13" MBP will be gone for good. probably they should rename macbook air as just macbook also. haha.

mostly a lot of tabs + 10000 rows of data in google sheet which im very sure can handle.

light gaming like dota 2 is the main question for mb14 m1 pro icon_idea.gif

funnily enough, Macbook air M1 actually beats these new Macbooks Pros in browser-based benchmarks (speedometer, jetstream)
Most likely due to the 2 efficiency cores (MBP) vs 4 efficiency cores (MBA).

Coupled with the facts that M1 Air also has better battery life on normal day-to-day tasks, apple has now made the separation between Pro and Non-pro line-up very clear:
day-to-day browsing, chatting - M1 Macbook Air (4 efficiency core + 4 performance core)
"professional works" utilising gpu intensive software - M1 Pro/Max Macbook Pro (2 efficiency core + 6 to 8 performance core)


Some relevant sources
M1 Pro web app test:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSHPsxW0m8g

The Verge review shows that M1 Max actually has much shorter battery life in day-to-day task, having to power those extra GPU cores:

most people did not need to verify but if you receive a call then you need to show proof of k12 educational use i.e your kids education fees, or any tertiary education fees (college/uni), or if you are lecturing in any k12 primary/secondary school, etc etc

yessss the wait is killing, not only pain coming from wait, but as we wait I'm reading more on the 16" (that poison), supposedly set my mind to go with the 14", now im in dilemma again for 14 or 16".. just hope they can launch asap, press the purchase button and move on to the next item... biggrin.gif

I will likely just go for 14" since my workflow doesn't require the extra screen estate of 16". Also, it seems very heavy.

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? tongue.gif

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.

14" MacBook Pro with M1 Pro 10 core CPU, 16 core GPU, 16 core Neural Engine, 32GB unified memory, 1TB SSD

Thai Baht 103,900 = RM 13,007

In Singapore Apple Store, the same configuration is

S$4,349 = RM 13,395.41

Their shipping time is late November to mid December.

Well all one can do now is register interest, no indication of preorder anywhere.

Ordering online on Apple site you mean?

Btw checking on Apple SG it's already unavailable for store pickup, but available on resellers at a few outlets.

Apple SG online no longer offer on-site pickup after pandemic. you can only buy from the store walk-in on what they have in store at that time.
i gotten mine 16" 2019 via delivery - very safe and on-schedule delivery as stated.

Buy it together with the MacBook Pro 14 online (via Apple Online Store) if possible ... there will be a slight discount normally (especially if you use the Education Store)

Not sure how useful is the apple care extension since it only covers manufacturer defect, and normally you would already know if your unit has any defects within the 1 year usage.. it would be useful imo if we could get the AppleCare+ though (sadly not available in malaysia) , as it covers accidental damages/cracks etc

Nope, regardless where you buy the AppleCare+ they are not covered by our local AASP, but you can bring them back to other countries that cover apple care+ for warranty claim..

I really recommend apple care extension especially for Macbook because of its reparability. Everything is soldered into board. My macbook once suddenly died. Lucky got extension.

For me it’s not useful as I didn’t get any extension for my last 2 mbp, manufacturer defects would have been detected within first few months of use, having 1 year is more than enough for me…

Yes worried the same too, I think for extra 900 for extended warranty should be sufficient. plus like you said everything is soldered to the board.
Can tell us more what happened? did you managed to get it fixed/replacement? did they charged you anything?

for me though I’ll be using it day to night, unless I’m so unlucky the manufacture defect happen after a year, otherwise I would have identified it within the warranty period..touch wood though, it has never happened to me before in any of my apple purchase that the defect happen after a year..smile.gif

Ughh quite a number of reviews on the 14" Max which isn't that good... Noisy fans, throttled performance compared to the 16" with same specs and worse battery performance..
Looks like M1 pro is better suited for the 14" more while Max better suited for 16"...

Ya I saw plenty of reviews too, on one of the video, the m1 max in 14 are throttled by wattage to avoid overheating. although Apple does that, the performance still par with the 16 m1 max. this kinda interesting.

Interesting indeed, so 14 max is on par with 16 max in terms of performance? The price isn’t close though..

Sounds like it will be a while before the new MacBook Pro machines are available here. Not only Apple products, but other products as well due to the global chip shortage. Looks like TSMC is really that important to the world economy.

Unfortunately that's the basic spec being sold by all if not most retailers in Malaysia as well.
Machines and Switch already have pre-order available for those same specs. Looks like I might have to get from official Apple online for the specs I want, which is sad since Machines trade in for 16" 2019 is quite decent. Much better than Apple SG ridiculous trade in value.

Oops, I mean Switch trade in is slightly higher than Machines. But their trade in for the 16" 2019 spec wise is very basic. Divided btw 512gb and 1tb version, doesn't matter what other upgrades you do which is the big downside. 16" 2019 1tb trade in is RM5,115. Selling 2nd hand would probably get you more although quite troublesome to find buyer.

Apple SG trade in is a huge con job. My 16" 2019 trade in value they offer S$790 doh.gif
Apple US offered nearly RM6k trade in value in comparison.

Trade-in page

https://shop.switch.com.my/trade-in

Machine trade in-price for 16 inch, 2019 model:-
--------------------------------------
512GB (MYR4415)
1TB. (MYR4945)

Switch trade in-price for 16 inch, 2019 model:-
--------------------------------------
512GB (MYR4345)
1TB. (MYR5115)

There's no mentioned of other spec (e.g. cpu speed, is that i7 or i9; 16GB RAM or 32GB RAM) on both website. I presume that's the base model of i7?)

Trade-in page

Machine trade in-price for 16 inch, 2019 model:-
--------------------------------------
512GB (MYR4415)
1TB. (MYR4945)

Switch trade in-price for 16 inch, 2019 model:-
--------------------------------------
512GB (MYR4345)
1TB. (MYR5115)

There's no mentioned of other spec (e.g. cpu speed, is that i7 or i9; 16GB RAM or 32GB RAM) on both website.  I presume that's the base model of i7?)

I think it doesn't matter if your unit has the 5600M or even i9 or 32gb ram, they are only offering that amount for trade in based on that 2 storage difference whether you like it or not sweat.gif

Yes worried the same too, I think for extra 900 for extended warranty should be sufficient. plus like you said everything is soldered to the board.
Can tell us more what happened? did you managed to get it fixed/replacement? did they charged you anything?
*
One day it just happened I cannot turn on my MBP. Sent to Machines KLCC, they said my motherboard just died without knowing the actual reason. It was happened around 15th months after my purchase. They didnt charge me anything and provide me free replacement due to extended warranty. Of course they send to Apple SG first for further checking on the damage before approve the replacement. Hence, thats why I really recommend it so you can have 3 years peace of mind. Not necessary to buy straight away. We can buy within 12 months from original purchase date.

That’s a scary experience indeed, but not a common thing for sudden death..900+ for peace of mind seems reasonable, that’s like 300 a year of peace..

You could have insisted on the reason of machine sudden death, since they took it in to diagnose they owe you an explanation rather than not providing info and just replace it..

Did they gave you any info about what happened to the mobo sudden death? So if you didn’t get an extended warranty, the mba become unusable and scrapped?

I think the 16 inch is still portable enough, had the Intel i9 one previously and I carried it everyday to work.

This time just gonna use it stationary on my desk without a monitor so 16 inch makes more sense than a 14.

Nice, won’t go wrong with 16 or 32GB honestly.

I don’t think I will be able to fully maximize the use case of a Macbook Pro but I’m just going for that Mini LED screen and new chassis.

Oh if it's stationery then definitely go for the bigger.. I'm stuck with the 14 coz Im quite mobile with the MBP and need every portability possible.. actually the 13 m1 is the ideal for its weight and battery but I wouldn't pass on a new model and redesign + a bunch of other stuffs in exchange for the portability biggrin.gif

Space grey look nicer, i prefer space grey, but pick Silver. From google said space grey more easier to notice the scratch line?

14inch 1TB version is already come with 96w charger. So no need to opt for it.
Only the 14inch 512GB need to think about it. I watched the oversea reviewers they prefer upgrading the charger.

Regarding Silver vs Space Grey, bear in mind that underneath the Space Grey is silver aluminium, so if you tend to go around with a naked MacBook and detest seeing obvious scratches (especially around the edges/corners, which tend to scratch easier) on your machine, I'd opt for Silver. I had a 16 in Space Grey, and definitely noticed some silver peeking out after a while of regular use.

With that, I've gone for Silver this time around. biggrin.gif

haha im in dilemma now again if i should go with the silver instead biggrin.gif

did abit of googling and some people mentioned the brightness in silver actually affects the vision while working, and the grey is less bright thus better vision and less distracting for long hour work, this is new to me sweat.gif anyone here experience this before, or can share your thoughts?

just some interesting discussion on the new macbook silver vs Space grey found on macrumors and YouTube comments.. thoughts?

from my observation though, in general most people prefer the classic silver on macbooks (regardless of model)

I think going to stay with silver after 3 years using space grey mbp. I like how the new design with silver color is like a throwback to old mbp prior to portless design, and since im going for case-less route this time, silver might be bettee choise for me.

I’m the same been using case previously on space grey mbp, thought of going caseless this time, hence might be switching to silver too, especially after looking at some pics of how easy the space grey get scratches (if no plans on using case)

I was in the same dilemma 1+ year ago when I was picking my first macbook air 13" (intel), ended up with space gray and really happy with it so far.

For my 2nd (current) M1 MBP, also went with space gray because I am used to the colour already, and honestly it is subtly elegant (not sure if that is the right word), definitely lower profile and doesn't suit you if you want to attract attention at a cafe or office etc.

For my upcoming 16" MBP it was a pretty simple choice for me as well (Space Gray), mainly because:
1. The new MBP is very thick (thicc), so thiccccc that it resembles the older macbook back in ~2012 era, and since Space Gray is a relatively new colour, at first glance silver MBP would look like an old MBP (in my opinion) tongue.gif

2. As per the comment, space gray does not stand out as much as the silver, hence it does not distract you from your work (I still use my M1 macbook as second screen because it only supports 1 external display)

3. As for protection (as someone mentioned), not an issue for space gray, just slap on a transparent plastic casing, been using since my 1st MBA and honestly for a RM 25 case, it does it job well while still showcasing the look of a Macbook (classé?), oh well, not like one would care showing off a working tool....or would they?
Shopee Link to the 16" casing for the latest MBP 2021 (see model A2485): MBP 16" casing (Shopee link)

At the end of the day, it still boils down to personal preference haha! Silver is still a very beautiful colour nonetheless (screams macbook alot!)

It is a good deal, but I purposely didn’t opt for 96w upgrade because I’m not so into fast charging whether for MacBook or iPhone. I’m an old-school believer that normal charging is healthier for battery longevity as it produces less heat 😊

Thanks for sharing, my space grey mbp palm rest already faded due to sweat or constant rubbing, initially I use it with care but after a while I just find it tough and use it naturally, and refuse to use any sort of skin on the hand rest area..

I was reading a lot of comments between these 2 colours and shockingly a lot of people commented that the new 2021 redesign makes the space grey look thicker especially on the 16” (and we can only see that in person apparently), kinda funny coz in previous models space grey always make them look slimmer..

For me I’m not a person who wants the attention on a MacBook, so choosing space grey for the subtle colour is the choice, but might switch to silver coz again I’ve read a lot of people commented there’s ‘something’ that feels very special in the new MacBooks silver this year, even a few YouTubers commented that during unbox, they say they can’t put it in words, have to see ourselves to feel it..makes me tempted to switch biggrin.gif

His test not really in depth. A bit too general. My advise, seek reviewer from your main areas. For example, photography will definitely benefit 32GB RAM.

Haha nice one! It's really tempting thou not gonna lie, I might just give it a try for my next one, or for my next travel macbook!

Re the palm rest fading, I mostly use a separate keyboard so my MBP just sit on the stand powering my monitor haha! But it's great to learn about your experience, I'll keep an eye on mine since I bring my current MBP to office on a daily basis (and type on it) tongue.gif

Yea that’s the thing, this time around I’m planning to use it free and easy, as in no casing no external keyboard and monitor, wanted to utilize every single part of the laptop (might consider using a silicone keyboard but only when it’s in use, as I saw my colleague pouring his coffee into his mbp keyboard and formed out a few thousands to repair the mobo…sweat.gif hence the silver is more practical for me …

anyway I’ve switched to the silver and to my surprised it it changed to ‘preparing to ship’ right away, so there’s no chance to reverse the decision biggrin.gif was a little worried that it will push the delivery forward but it is apparently the same, still deliver by 23-25 Nov biggrin.gif it was a happy decision nonetheless..

I’m the same been using case previously on space grey mbp, thought of going caseless this time, hence might be switching to silver too, especially after looking at some pics of how easy the space grey get scratches (if no plans on using case)

Yes, I had these exact issues with my naked Space Grey MacBook 16 before. And even under normal use! For the record, I usually baby my tech gadgets, so seeing scratches appear over time was definitely surprising, given how carefully I would handle the machines.

The way I see it ...

The silver MacBooks are more understated/subtle now in a sea of Space Grey MacBooks. (Many, including myself, who wanted to distinguish from the usual Silver Apple products have opted for Space Grey over the years.) Also, given how powerful these MacBooks are, having it in the 'usual silver' feels like an acknowledgement of how far Apple has come with their MacBooks, a bit like paying homage to the MacBooks of old. Then, there's the idea of practicality, and how silver MacBooks tend to have that timeless appeal.

However, the Space Grey MacBooks definitely exude sleekness and have that cool factor going for them. I also like how the grey can look different depending on the environment/lighting. They kind of tell you that it's a new generation MacBook; however, given that many MacBooks since 2015 have been in Space Grey, I feel like this may now be a moot point. And, of course, there's the issue of more obvious wear over time (only if you prefer not to use your MacBook with a case).

Lastly, I'm not sure about whether having a darker MacBook over a lighter one will yield any practical advantages. I mean ... unless you work in a room with absolutely no lighting/reflections/light-coloured objects, I feel it makes little difference to the overall experience.

Anyway, just my dua sen! icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks bro, yes I’ve seen my friends and colleagues who uses their space grey naked and there are visible scratches and silver lines around their machines after less than 6 months use with care (but they use it naked) and since I’m planning on using it naked this time around so I’ll opt for practicality…deep inside me I prefer the space grey but it’s probably a good time to switch (also coz I’ve read many comments and YouTube’s that the silver this year feels and looks different which could only tell when we see it in person), and I can’t wait for AASP to have them on display so I’ll just go with it, won’t go wrong getting a silver MacBook anyway…

I saw a YouTube video few weeks ago mentioning about different touch feel on the latest MBP, suggesting it comes with a special coating. I cannot recall which video. Hopefully it really comes with a special coating to solve the space gray chipping issue.

those who pick 14” or 16” early yesterday should be getting it fast, especially those on main page without separate customs (especially on the ram upgrade)…I took the 16” 32/1TB that was on the main page and it was written delivery within 1-3 days (that was also one of my main criteria, can’t put myself to wait another month or I will end up cancelling and preordering different specs many times before they actually ship it out laugh.gif that 1 month wait since announced was a painful one and a roller coaster ride..no more waiting notworthy.gif

No I actually didn’t buy it early, I was in an early meeting till I saw someone updated this thread that it has arrived, ding dong and stuffs I pulled the trigger around 12.30pm yesterday…and cancelled it early this morning to switch to silver, and this morning still 1-3 days delivery, guess they just ran out of stock earlier changing it to 2-3 weeks…I believe after batch 2 sold out the next one would be 4-5 weeks or even longer…better be quick tongue.gif

Well Apple has a record of surprising people (either push it earlier or later) there’s a slight chance they might even deliver it earlier than 23rd haha

All those specs be it base or higher spec, as long as they are not customed and in the main order page are the ones they have ready stocks and will be shipped within 1-3 days (as per yesterday) any new orders today will go into batch 2 which takes 2-3 weeks

eyeing the 14" mainly due to portability (1.6kg) but are the speakers the same as the 16" ?

also does the M1 Pro give better battery life over the M1 Max ? assuming it's just standard web browsing on battery.

from some of the review, the 14 and 16 speakers are fairly similar this year around..but some said the 16 is better by a tiny bit due to bigger speakers …personally I think the differences are small

Again from some reviews, the battery on the m1 pro is not as good as the 16” (2021) and 13” (2020)…it was said the 16” has 46% left when the 14” died….the benchmark goes like that from the same stress test:

13” m1 mbp = 5h30m
14” m1 pro = 3h45m
16” m1 pro = 5h45m

more review on battery tests:

Again from some reviews, the battery on the m1 pro is not as good as the 16” (2021) and 13” (2020)…it was said the 16” has 46% left when the 14” died….the benchmark goes like that from the same stress test:

13” m1 mbp = 5h30m
14” m1 pro = 3h45m
16” m1 pro = 5h45m

more review on battery tests:

no you can't, the 67w comes in the box by default..

Yes but if I pay the extra 40 bucks for the higher end adapter, they will give me the a extra charger? So I will end up with the regular in-box one and another higher charger right?

No of course you don’t get an additional charger for only rm40, the power adapter is RM319

https://www.apple.com/my/shop/product/MX0J2...c-power-adapter

if you buy it on Apple website, the option to top up rm40 is to get a 96w instead of the 67w, not both.. but if you buy it from AASP then there is no option to upgrade to the 96w. You can buy an additional for rm319..

You can buy it from AASP like switch or machines etc, they do interest free installment (subject to whatever card they accept)

This is interesting. 16" is good but 14" is more practical as 16" is too heavy.

yeap like videos like these where they make comparisons..

Actually 16” and 14” is not really a hard decision IMO. If you think you need the 16” then you need it, if there’s doubt means 14” could probably be better..I was all in for the 14” due to compact and portability and don’t want the extra 500gram (that’s like an additional iPad Pro 12.9 weight along with a 14” (2 vs 1 weight).

But after walking into AASP many times to compare the 16/13 (I know 14 is bigger than 13) but I’ve been using 13 for a long time and I know I needed the extra real estate, whether a little more on the 14 or a lot more on the 16…had a long thought and tests on the 16s weight vs my life style, I think I can cope with it, hence I switch to 16 finally…

Coincidentally I was in Switch earlier..biggrin.gif

Looking at the colors, might be getting the Silver one for a change. Over the years been on #TeamSpaceGray , will do a different shade this time.

After the review, he must choose between 16” and 14”. 16” is much better in almost everything but he chose 14” as it’s more practical for him. Watch the whole video. But that’s for him snd his way of doing his work.

He is either sponsored to do reviews, or was paid to do reviews (machines sent to him and return after review), or he pay for them and return back to apple under their 14 days return policy (most western countries allow return of item as long as they are in brand new condition)..

After some readings online, I found that it's in Apple's TOS that the warranty starts on the same day it was shipped out, across all apple products.

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/warran...g-date.2189195/

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/does-i...e-date.2106318/

1. Purchased from Apple store online directly - from when it's purchased/shipped
2. Purchased from reseller - if you have the receipt, it'll be the date on the receipt. If the reseller logs the purchase date, from that date. If you don't have the receipt and the reseller didn't log the purchase date, it will be from the ship date - i.e. the date it was shipped to the reseller

This is an interesting finding as I've never quite bothered with the warranty activation from all my previous purchase from apple store online, its good info..

Apple only will charge you when order order shipped. You can cancel anytime before shipped. I am considering the same if I can stay with MBA M1.

They deducted your credit limit only, won't appear in your transaction history unless your item has been shipped out, then apple will request clearance from bank, thats only considered as official transaction completed..

Not sure about debit card. But my cancelled order using credit card was refunded the same day. Cancelled my order in the morning and my credit limit refunded at night.
