From 2015MBP certainly it is still going to be a significant improvement la.

Dun see a big prob with the 256GB SSD even it is slower than 512GB. For daily tasks like web browsers or office apps it is still overkilled.

Just find that 256GB + 16GB ram is quite a weird combination. But of course 16GB Ram u buy for future proof then ok la. The more the merrier anyway.

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.

agree, there is always a risk of cracking the hinge etc... best is to use it naked... also for best user experience..

received the call again. told them i need to verify with apple and they said just ask me to call the malaysia helpline and provide them with serial number... not pushy or anything.. if it's a scam they aren't doing a good job....
