However the 8 core CPU and 8 core GPU model costs RM100 more than the previous M1 model but given it’s a new chipset and new design, maybe that’s justified.And the macbook air consider price increase? old model still same price? |

Better camera, newer design, but smaller storage if compared with the 8 Core GPU M1 MBA. |

Really wanted to get this but the base model is priced so close to the base MBP.
Somehow, it doesn’t really make sense. |

If not mistaken you can ask them to customize for you, but need to pay some deposit Better call them to ask for more details RiriRuruRara liked this post

Really disappointed with the pricing.
1k more than older version with pretty much the same spec except for chipset and the 1080p camera and the NOTCH. *just found out the the newer MBP doesnt even comes with magsafe and still use 720p camera. This post has been edited by coklatua: Jun 7 2022, 07:54 PM |

I think if you’re gonna customise might as well get it directly from Apple online |
