Same dude, have been doing the same thing on my end. I was browing their website 2 days ago and my cousin walked pass by and was like "Oh, the new Mac is in ?" LOL

Pls hit me up once it's up for sale, i would do the same for you.

Still not available yet? Close to 1 month ady 😴 urgently needing to replace my old intel mac 😂

now busy produce macbook air 15"

it is over a month

Malaysia is a small market to Apple

sigh. even SG already has it. apple oh apple. ):

it is now on Apple Malaysia

I don't really check the model and the delivery date, though.

Good Luck!

Finally. Gonna get 14inch 1TB silver model

most likely I will get this too, 1TB.
although somehow I prefer 16inch.... still thinking...

Nice! I am using a 16inch Intel mac currently and find it a little too bulky when travelling, and times at home I would just hook it up to my monitor. So I will try out the 14inch this time

Is the 512 gb storage sufficient for normal usage, not much on editing? Or better to go for 1TB. Thanks.

Order placed, finally. Base model 14" MBP M2 to replace my 2015 15" MBP Retina.

Personally, 512GB is sufficient for me as I don't used for much for content creation work. Previously MBP also was 512GB which struggled a bit, but after the introduction of cloud based storage.. I barely go over the 300GB mark. I'm do a lot of documents with MS, make maps on Illustrator and Earth, as well as edit scout photos on Lightroom. Not into any high rendering stuff.

Another reason to go for the 1TB is the faster read/write as Apple uses only one NAND Chip for the 512GB on the M2s. The older M1 had 2X256GB NAND Chips for 512GB.

Anyway kudos to Apple's after sales service to be able to make an exception to refund the M1, I've ordered 6 days before the launch of M2.

Thanks for the helpful comment. This will be my first MacBook.

Normal use 512gb is sufficient. Just use a portable HDD or ssd to compliment it.

Hey guys,

What is the compulsory or nice to have accessories to purchase after we got the new macbook pro?

1. Probably a decent sleeve or bag. Personally, will avoid any screen protector because the screen has a coating on it. It won't give you any problems until you damage the screen protector and when removing it, may damage the screen and it's coating. I avoid any protective casing as well, afraid it might mess up the cooling system, but that's just me.

2. Another set of charger, can be a third-party GAN ones. Reason being, I hate to repack chargers and cables so I usually have one set at home, another in my work bag or work desk. I have the Hyperjuice GaN 100W USB-C Charger and I've order another MagSafe 3 Cable.

3. I would suggest a USB-C Hub but the new ones have great I/O already. Maybe a USB-A to USB-C dongle for backward compatibility. I have this :
Anker PowerExpand+ 7-1 USB C Hub or something smaller like this UGreen Type C to USB 3.0 Adapter

4. A mouse? Depending on your usage. I have my old trusty Logi MX Master 2S for years, which is much better for my type of work. (Make maps, edit photos, etc.)

5. A hard drive for Time Machine, etc. I got the 512GB base model, and I use a Lacie 2TB Rugged Thunderbolt for my Time Machine. Got a Sandisk Ultra Dual Drive Go 128GB for quick file transfer between different machines. All of my work files are on DropBox since we share a lot between our team.

6. Maybe a Moft Laptop Stand - Was thinking about it for working on-site but most of the time I find myself using the laptop on my lap.

Apologies for the long winded post.

These are just my personal opinion.
