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.

The Macbook availability here has always been 4 weeks after the official announcement. So expect third week of November. Pre-order by the authorized resellers may start next week.

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Nov 17 2021, 10:36 AM) Seems like it’s been 4 weeks since the announcement, still no sound from Apple Malaysia and the retailers. Tomorrow will be exactly 1 month after the announcement. Hoping for a good news by Friday.Daunting wait begins |

QUOTE(ye0073 @ Nov 18 2021, 04:24 PM) 14inch 1TB version is already come with 96w charger. So no need to opt for it. Are you sure? Mine also 14” 1TB but only comes with 67w chargerOnly the 14inch 512GB need to think about it. I watched the oversea reviewers they prefer upgrading the charger. |

QUOTE(dikae @ Nov 19 2021, 12:19 AM) Yea the 8/14 comes with 67w but you can opt for an upgrade to 96w for only rm40.. 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 😊 |

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.

Latest product like MBP 2021 and iPhone 13 series are not entitled for cashback on Shopback. For other items you can get 2% cashback.

Just now I bought another unit of 14” with the exact same custom specs and color, but I got a shipping date one week earlier compared to my order yesterday. So I immediately canceled the order I placed yesterday.

Anyone knows where to get a leather sleeve that is specifically made for MBP 14 dimensions? Apple doesn’t seem to have one this year.

QUOTE(vostroxe @ Nov 21 2021, 11:57 AM) I just cancelled my order because I want to order other configuration. Anyone has any idea how long it took to refund back the pre authorisation? Im using debit card though. 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. dikae liked this post

Am looking for the original Apple sleeve for 14” but I don’t think it will come out anytime soon.
Might be getting the replica one for temporary use. This is the only seller that is selling “Apple” sleeve for 14” at this moment but shipping from Indonesia. Not sure whether it really fits the exact dimensions of 14”. https://shopee.com.my/product/316228295/137...01-1637641890.9 |

Switch Alamanda have ready stock for 16” base model. Just saw the display unit and I’m glad that I preordered the space grey. Also I think it doesn’t look as thick as I had imagined before.

The touch ID on my 5-days old MBP 14 just stop working. This is really frustrating for the price that I paid for. Apple Support on live chat seems very clueless and incompetent. Waiting for a call back from Apple.

QUOTE(dikae @ Dec 3 2021, 09:10 PM) Seems like first batch mbp really not stable..mine can’t charge coz cable failure…yours Touch ID fail..anyone else got issue with their mbp thus far? Although can be replaced but it’s still very frustrating to go through these, at that price tag..worse if you have waited long for it to arrive.. Suddenly out of nowhere the Touch ID is working again. I just hope it is a minor software glitch and not a hardware issue. It’s really painful to see something expensive failed just within 5 days.  AppleCS can be clueless but trust me, you will be more surprise with our AASP…at least the one I went to was 100% clueless as if they were just hired the day before..when a customer has to tell them how to do their job, and give them suggestion of possible solutions..  Sorry to hear about your charging issue. When you say cable do you mean the USB-C cable or motherboard cable? |

The keyboard on the new MBP is so dust magnet. I can see dust is easily getting trapped underneath the keyboard. I’m quite afraid about the reliability of the keyboard after some period of time.

Bought this leather sleeve for my MBP 14” and I’m 100% satisfied with the look and quality. It’s slim and fit perfectly. The grey color really complements the space grey MBP. Attached thumbnail(s)
