QUOTE(tzxsean @ Jul 8 2022, 07:24 PM) Can tumpang ask how much it costs to service swollen battery for out of warranty macbook pro? 2k. depend the swollen impact the top part or not.If no - 500+ if yes - 2k Lucky mine got apple care. Pay just 800 to claim 2k warranty. So macbook must buy applecare no matter how (get it before 1 year expire). My iphone & ipad - no need applecare This post has been edited by ericlaiys: Jul 8 2022, 07:40 PM |

I still remember that time is when MY open after lockdown. How long ago for that repair cost? From those Switch or Machines shop?

QUOTE(jagadis @ Jul 16 2022, 08:14 AM) But how bad is it. I really don’t need 512GB and don’t want to topup. I came from a 2015 MBP. Will this base spec ssd be any slower than that? 256 is enough for normal user. but the review from reviewer on m2 seem talking about performance issue when run out of ram and use swap file, then bad performance.Will I even feel it in my daily tasks? using chrome and running microsoft office apps. Btw, I upgraded to 16GB RAM. been running 8GB and 256GB SSD-MBP 2017 , so far did not encounter issue . some reviewer also say 16GB encounter out of memory before.

QUOTE(inkyoctopuss @ Jul 16 2022, 01:45 PM) Is ok to purchase the base modal if you are a light and casual user. Sometimes just doesn’t understand about all these paranoid with abit slower SSD. If really slower few second compare with the Macbook Air M1 does it really ruin our live and time? 8GB ram not enuf, it will take swap file from ssd. so faster ssd, better performance. inkyoctopuss liked this post
