No installment from apple store online, but you can pay with your credit card and make separate arrangement with your card for installment, however, there will be interest charged… if you want interest free installment just get it from AASP like Machines/ Switch/ ITWorld etc..

Hello guys new mbp 14 base user reporting in. First time owning a Mac too. 😄

I have a question. When we close the lid the mbp will go in sleep right. Will the battery still drop when the laptop is in sleep? I remember closing it at 100 and the next time I open it it’s at 91 already.

Few weeks after getting the charger. I’ve been buying chargers for the past few years. From USB desktop charger with 4-port, Aukey desktop charger with USB-C and USB-A up to 65w.

Back then i thought that would be sufficient to charge the laptop. Now fast forward, most of devices comes with USB-C so I definitely need to upgrade it. Decided to go with the wall charger due to the hassle to plug in the power cord every time.

This 100w Ugreen is heavy. As heavy as a power adapter for laptop. But I love the USB-C ports availability. At any point I can charge my laptop, iPhone and iPad with just Type C cable.

That way I’m slowly reducing the number of cables I need to carry.

Btw, after plugging the charger half day, the device is warm.

It’s based on user experience and not a technical in depth review. So yeah… my humble apology if disappoint.

Are you using this with apple magsafe cable? As the stock adapter gave me static feel at the palm area when charging, like to find out from owner whether this ugreen adapter has the same problem?
oh is it very warm/hot after usage?

Hi guys, planing to get a Mac Book Pro 16" M1 Pro with 1TB under my nieces student pass as they are having promotion till 7/03. Just to know any issues know to date on this unit or models?

As I'm coming from Mac Book Pro 15" 2012, they keyboard and track pad on the newer ones are kind of not premium or something missing. Anyone else feel this or it's just me?

Also the backlight on the keyboard and app button is not there anymore. Love this when I travel and use my mac.

Please advise if it's worth the jump? Do the student promotion come up every year?
The static you feel is due to poor earthing on your power outlet. Try to switch the charger to another premises and try it out.

Ya but previously in this thread there are forumers mentioned the apple ac extension cable or other adapter with proper ground connection can also fix this issue, so like to know whether this ugreen adapter has that.
The stock apple charger doesnot have the ground connected.

There's a discussion here about the earthing cable. Note that the UGreen 100w GaN earth pin is a dummy pin. Used only to ease plugging into our 3 pin UK sockets.

Does it mean it won’t help with the static problem?
