Okay, ini 2 are heavy apps, personally i would suggest u go for the macbook pro straight

i think m1 m2 benchmark wise just very minimal difference. and m1 is 1k+ cheaper, so in the end i also bought m1 512gb few months ago

anyone know which reseller's doing promo for the m2 MBA now? just missed out on Switch promo rm400 discount, ended 4th Apr..thx

Can always use student discount if you have one

No Unidays account xD

Wait for 5/5 BTW, all IT has Macbook Air M2 at the same price as student discount at the moment.

Enjoying my m2 right now. Mostly using for office/productivity and content consumption so definitely OP. Enjoying the good battery life. Sometimes feel it’s too thin… worry a little fragile..hahah. Not using with any case though..nekkid only.

Wait for the new MacBook guys, rumor has it M3 chip and a new MacBook Air is coming and launching on WWDC this year . Hopefully thermals and SSD speeds are resolved with this new iteration of MacBook Air

Hearsay the 15" M3 MBA is coming
estimate damage RM8-9k

Usually WWDC will not release new model, they focus on operating system
But still the macs need some upgrade, especially the iMac
Im eyeing on iMac or larger screen MBA

I think it will probably fall around the RM6-8k range as RM8-9k range is MacBook Pro M2 range already.

just called to confirm, their promo @ RM5,099 ended on 4/4, same as Machines/Switch. Anyway I bought it at RRP, missed the promo

Strange, their Lazada store still listed it at RM5099 today under Buy it now option. Couldn't find Macbook Air M2 with 16GB option anywhere

bought the MacBook m2 8gb at rm5499. Loving it so far

Good price.
Outlet name?

Thanks.

Aik, this is not a good price ahahhaha, 0% discount.

I believe u can get the m2 base spec air for about rm5349 now

5499 is the RRP, you can get it from any resellers, I think most of them have plenty of stocks now..or wait for 5.5 not sure if there’s any upcoming promos..

My bad as very new to Mac.

Anyway, I repost at MBP Pro 13-inch at the proper forum.

Thank you,

I’m considering this between the 13 inch pro p,since 14 inch one is way too expensive.
Any issues with heat ah?since they don’t operate with fan, and I’m not in air one room 24hours/7.

13 inch pro design quite dated dy leh, if u can look pass that thick bezels and that touch strip that replaced the FN keys, then the macbook pro 13 is a good choice over the more expensive pro 14 if you want a laptop with fan. However, My personal opinion is either go for the macbook air 2 or straight to the pro 14. I cannot accept buying a sub 6k laptop with 2020 (or earlier) design.

No issue so far regarding the fanless design, tho i would recommend to go for 16gm ram tho if u use multiple apps at one time. In conclusion, if ada bajet and ur consumption is high, go for pro 14. if u like me and use the laptop for microsoft office, safari, whatsapp web and basic apps, the macbook air 2 is just fine.

I think I’m like you, I am mainly just using it for personal consumption. But you know la, we are at tropical country, super hard to accept the device without fans ler. I mean looks at windows laptop, even with so many fans, the main breakdown reason is usually due to heat. Hahah! And I don’t use it in ac room.

You are right about the dated design, that’s why I’m considering my option.
