last time pro's display is brighter at 500 nits. but now m2 air is the same already. so seriously no reason for one to buy the pro...

Just noticed that. Definitely going to get the new MBA.

Any idea when orders will open? Planning to get with Apple student discount.

Can it also use the type-c to charge?

My office laptop uses type c. It’ll be easy to be able to use both magsafe at home and type c in office.

M2 base model enough for adobe software?
Like photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, audition, etc…
Photoshop got picture editing around few hundred picture,
Illustrator for designing/editing which sometime involve complex effect.
Indesign variable date around 20k data, authoring book.


Also the screen crack solve?

Oh ok, fair point. Best to contact the retailer and ask directly then.

I think there should be other priorities on choosing a laptop than just how it charges? laugh.gif

Agreed… My 2014 MacBook Air still works great. Even running Windows 8 on Bootcamp smoothly still, hahaha.. I’ve been meaning to upgrade since the 12” MacBooks were launched but haven’t been able to justify it, hahaha…

So if you get one at RM6k and use for 10 years, it only costs you RM50/month. Ok la. icon_idea.gif

Not a lot faster than Air M1 actually. Add another ~RM1k you are into Pro 14 territory which still has a faster CPU, a lot faster GPU, a nicer screen and speakers.

Don't forget abt the 1080p camera. It has been complaints about the 720p camera on the M1 MBA, and now the M2 MBP also using the same old camera.
