Many thanks for listing them down, it is really helpful. thumbup.gif

I travel a lot with my laptop too, seems like these days all in one adapter is compulsory.
I find it tedious to unplug each cable from the ports.

Yes sir, I've opted for the Airpods Pro for my wife. Best time to buy a Mac if you have the education account.

Any laptop is a valid choice. Depends on your computing performance requirement.

As in, you just use it to browse lowyat or use it to edit 8k video?

Hi all, currently I am using the 2019 MBP i5 256GB 16GB RAM 4TBolt Ports (Butterfly Keyboard). and recently I found out that some of my keys are getting unresponsive already.

And now I am planning to get 14" M2 Pro ones. Is it worth for the change? Cos I think repairs is going to cost a lot (right?)...

Well... finally get MBP 14 base model from Machines, just walk in and grab.
Big upgrade for me from MBP 13inch mid 2012.
Not yet completely migrate over and compare the performance in FCP.

Will post it later.

OK - Comparing my MBP mid 2012 13inch with MBP M2 14inch.
13 inch is bigger than 14 inch actually...


Some usage notes:
*> It comes with 2m long cable. My previous MBP did come with additional extension cable.
*> Previous MBP did come with screen cleaning cloth.

*> 1.5hour of Zoom usage - took 20% (100% -> 80%) of battery.
*> Rendering of HD 1080p, 30min video took about 9minutes, compare to 2H 24min using MBP mid 2012, in FCP.

Well.... I just checked True Tone is on (by default).

I didn't really notice really that yellowish since the beginning of usage.

Time to learn Logic Pro and just downloaded free trial..
