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.
thanks for the sharing, any noticeable heat on the surface after you mingle with for some time?
Once you open already void. And adding the thermal pad sure void 😅 unless can do it cleanly without showing any signs when you send in for warranty.

I thought so too, thanks. There was once, I replaced the fuse on my charger's plug for my old MBP and was warned that it will void the power adapter's warranty. Luckily they didn't void it and I got my replacement

If you can do it without any trace why not.. but i doubt it with the thermal pads..
I have recently ordered 16+256GB version MBA, and after reading the news about 256GB SSD being slower, should I be concern about lower sequential read speed? Because for normal usage like accessing apps or internet browsing, random read/write is more important right?
My usage is only just chrome browsing, spotify, netflix, background running wechat WA line etc and microsoft office only, no video rendering gaming or photo editing. Under this kind of usage, not sure the single NAND SSD will show its disadvantage here.
Mac sifu pls enlighten me coz this is my first mac, been using windows all my life.
Found this video on youtube. If you have extra Rm800 budget for upgrade, and probably can only stretch your budget to either one of the upgrade (Ram or SSD), pretty much ram make more sense if you are not the person copying large file in and out frequently. 16GB can sustain MBA performance in higher capacity when your RAM usage is higher and reduce the frequency of Swap being used. However, if you store more things in laptop you can opt for 512GB instead.

This is my first thought when I tried the MBP.
MacOS can definitely make use of more RAM. On the other hand, SSD speed is only important when you're doing extreme works like rendering videos, etc., or using Swap memory which won't happen if you have 16GB RAM. SSD space is really up to your personal use. But you can always expand by using external drives.
So if you only have enough money to upgrade one of it which in Malaysia is RM800, upgrade the RAM. Just save up and get a good external drive later.
