QUOTE(GOLILA @ Jul 20 2022, 01:04 PM) This is space grey ? MBA space grey looks darker than MBP space grey QUOTE(ultra_nyamuk @ Jul 20 2022, 01:07 PM) Wow.. since you’re a long term user, i think just get the MBP14, should last you many years with good performance. hmm... let me think about this, since MBP is ready stock and MBA need to wait, I can slow slow think |

QUOTE(stevenhsl2512 @ Jul 19 2022, 12:55 PM) Hence my question is... for my usage like google chrome, microsoft office, netflix this type of activities, will this 50% slower SSD actually affect me? Since I already have 16GB and probably won't trigger swap memory much. Within my budget, I can use choose either upgrade 16gb ram or 512gb ssd, but i don't store many things in laptop also... Definitely not. Slower SSD will only affects you if you're dealing with very large files. It will only trigger swap memory if ur app has memory leaks or if your app requires large RAM to start with. Don't worry about tabs for Chrome. I have a colleague who have at least 60 tabs open every time and each time I ask him why this specific tab is open. He couldn't figure it out just he thinks is cool because most people does that. This post has been edited by soitsuagain: Jul 20 2022, 05:13 PM |

Just saw it on display in Mid Valley Machines store. Looks amazing and feels much thinner than the M1 Air.
Also made some observations when compared the base spec with MBP 14 base spec. At idle, the both use about 4.2GB of RAM. When I open multiple desktops with apps to simulate my typical usage, the mbp can push to about 8.6GB of RAM. The MBA stayed at about 6.5-7GB of RAM. My guess is that it started removing idle data from its memory while the mbp still kept it. I’m guessing that when I push the active apps a little more, it’ll start accessing Swap memory. I might be wrong. It might just delete more and maintain its performance. But from what I notice, while MacOS is definitely more efficient than Windows, it can definitely make use of more RAM. Upgrading your RAM can make it a better experience but if you don’t you won’t feel it….for now. This post has been edited by jagadis: Jul 20 2022, 07:43 PM |

Went to KLCC Machines store to view the actual unit. Midnight colour look stunning in actual, very blue under the typical apple store lighting. Thin and light when folded, feel like an enlarged ipad pro with keyboard attached. (Or probably in fact it is an enlarged ipad).... Fingerprints and smudges are obvious but doens't bother me much because my own dell laptop is also like that, already get used to it, or not as bad as what those youtuber says. But I do believe the scratch around the port could be apparent after long period of ownership. For the ram, around 4GB when it is idle, and shoot up to 6+ Gb after around 10 safari tabs and some other apps in the dock (my typical usage), and last time went down to 3.1GB after closing all those app. I think 8GB shouldnt be an issue for light user even with slower 256GB ssd since the swap won't kick in also. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() KanGz, jimbet1337, and 1 other liked this post
