yea looks boring, whole thing black lol
think 13" will stick around for a while before discontinuing, dont think they will make it base model though... maybe in 1-2 years they will be removed from the store entirely

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..

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 

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

Budget is not an issue... I can get RM600+ discount so might consider getting a 1TB ones. It's just i can't decide whether or not I should change. Need some time to make up my mind.

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?

Considering

13inch MacBook Pro m1

And

14inch MacBook Pro m1 pro
I have the 2016 MacBook Pro and the battery life has traumatised me… I heard the 2013 MacBook Pro is has super good battery, but the 14 inch has pro motion

My budget is not an issue but I’m having a dilemma here !

And also would like to game dota 2 if possible hahaa

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.

Hmm what if I buy macbook from singapore with applecare+, will it be covered in Malaysia for accidental damage?

I had my Ipad applecare+ purchased overseas in 2018, and I try last year claiming warranty but they didn't allow, even apple CS says must bring back to countries with such services, AASP here wouldn't recognise it apparently

Yeah, notice the article yesterday. Kinda disappointing 

I think it’s across all their products as well…

I actually mention both the trackpad on the MacBook and also an external trackpad (rm489)…however you don’t need the external trackpad if you don’t use an external keyboard…

It’s hard to use external keyboard and switch your hand to move on the MacBook trackpad, you need both side by side hence the external
Oh yea now need to verify with UNIdays lol, a lot already purchased their macs anyways..

Looks like they also changed their policy to only student or staff…no longer accepting parents who fund their kids in the k12 education…so it’s either you are studying or lecturing now

Yea I’ve always had the assumption that the battery degrades faster the more we leave it plugged in, but recent readings show otherwise…there were few other forums who suggested the same as link above, so I’m really curious does plugging in really lower the cycle count and  bypasses the battery usage…

MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max announcement just dropped fellas
