no one getting this 2 year "old" m3 macbook anymore? cheapest i found.
Couple of days before 10-11
TMT thunder Shopee. [All sold out]
- 16" macbook pro m3 max 16cores 48gb space black = RM8999 => 5 units was listed.
- 16" macbook pro m3 max 14cores 36gb space black = RM8599 => 3 units was listed.

iTWorld Lazada
- 14" macbook pro m3 max 14cores 36gb silver = RM8499
- 14" macbook pro m3 pro 18gb 1TB silver = RM6599

before 10-11
- 16" macbook pro m3 max 16cores 48gb silver/spaceblack = RM10899 => pre-order 5 units left.

m4 series are all discount around RM500-RM600++

for tech products i think 2 years is consider "EOL", kinda hard to believe that the m3 max 48g model the msrp was RM17499, after 2 years now 48.57% discount, brand new sealed box. Even cheaper than a used unit on carousell. Crazy.

recent years, with the official store and resellers discount at lazada and shopee.. apple products can get more and more discounts.

so u are rite that, it is even cheaper than buying resell. and it also means the resell value for apple products now also dropped.

I got mine few months back 14inch m3pro 1tb version. Great deal for me work well. M4 base model already selling RM6999.

Im not so into programming, no games (mostly arcade game smile.gif ) and some light video editing. so far so good after few months of using it. Upgraded from 2016 Intel base MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, still working fine and now pass down to my daughter for light usage

I might get AppleCare because I often work outdoors, but my MacBook Pro Late 2015 is still running strong, so I feel 50/50 about getting it. The only problem with my old MacBook is the broken speakers. laugh.gif
