Congratulations on your new machine guys~! Enjoiceeee!

By the way, can i ask if you guys are using it as a tool to make money? like being a youtuber/content creator etc etc?

Why i'm asking this is, because i am using a macbook only for entertainment purposes, watching youtube/netflix/surfing/light gaming, etc etc.

I have my office laptop to work on extensive excel/word documents.

So I have hard time justifying paying like up to 5 figure for an entertainment laptop to be honest.  sweat.gif

Edit: that's why i only bought the MBA M1  tongue.gif

for trading, gold/options/stocks, most broker has a native macOS app or web browser version. for chart, there's desktop version of TradingView.

i just search for A2485 screen, touchpad and palm rest protector in Shopee. Link should be this one

https://shopee.com.my/2021-Macbook-Pro-14-1...7995.3211558908

nothing on premium side yet. Perhaps gotta wait a little bit while to get a better quality accessories.

What kind of laptop bags do you guys have for your mbp? Mine is overdue for a refresh 😬

Just bought Timbuk2 Authority from Zalora. I think the quality is quite decent compared to my smaller Tumi. Should be able to fit. Double padding, can fit all of my accessories.

a quick question guys, anyone here use macbook for business use or work related? what is the difference compare to windows?
*
i m using for both work and personal. working in investment/capital market. Just switch from windows.so far so good. I can use most of my software for trading/work. for work i use Office365 and few specific program and all of them work similiar with Windows. However I havent tried Thomson Reuters software in Parallel, not sure can work or not given the program run in x86 while Paralles Windows run Arm-64. if not then i have to opt of lesser web-based version.

I am using Iphone 11 so that's the only apple ecosystems I have. tongue.gif 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?
*
so far no. but to be fair I only use Words, Powerpoints and Outlook. The rest not relevant to me. I cant comment much on extra functions in excel or other 365 products.

Pulled the trigger and bought the 16 inch base model. Estimated delivery 23-30 Dec.

Just wondering if anyone uses a thin screen protector and any tips in cleaning/taking care of the screen as I noticed it gets smudges and finger prints on it pretty easily.
*
i m using it but due to poor installation, there is bubble which pretty much normal. However, the screen attract more dust and get dirty more easily. So i just remove it for now.

The computer you have on your desk at work is almost certainly a Windows machine. The laptop however... that's almost always a Mac. That's probably true of most offices around the world. At least for those who work with two computers and perhaps a third at home.

These new M chip machines with Parallels though bring forward an interesting new way of integrating with the Windows world though. I can boot up Win11 in seconds with Parallel and so far, it's very, very fast. And stable.

yup parallels using 4 core and 8gb ram in win11 already fast enough for me. very very convenient. No need to opt for yearly subscription version although Windows need to actvivate so there extra USD139 on top of USD79.
