Cannot just ask them to date the invoice for 2025 ? And you buy now?

I dont think can do that..else how their accounting is tally with they stock?

QUOTE(Redundant @ Dec 10 2024, 03:02 PM)
Should be no need to rush right? Macs usually have stock unlike iphones?

Plan to make my purchase on 1/1 public holiday  smile.gif

Ya, i think by the time we buy, the stock is plenty and you may just order from Apple.com and collect in TRX straight.

Any benefit in buying from apple.com and collect from TRX besides the edu pricing?

Plan to get same edu price from Machines using unidays in store, machines provide member points too!  wink.gif
*
No idea. Same only..I will walk in purchase in 1U maybe, beside machines point you also can collect 1 utama point also.
Last time pre-order iphone in Machines collected in 1 Utama but they not allow me to collect 1 utama point because not pay thru them..Lesson learnt. biggrin.gif

I just tested my ugreen. can get 3000 read/write speed. I also move home and application to external.
It is worth it to move. i also notice keep writing due to cache/swap.
I also think that way on m1 with 256gb storage and 8gb. but I also move it to external storage. RAM got 16GB. Use already 12GB, Cache size - 4GB and swap 23MB. Look like new OS use many memory.

Therefore advice to move

Ideal already use so much?

Not much troublesome to move the external SSD as well. But will mostly use as a desktop. If move a lot around, can create another account which uses internal storage home folder.
*
Just question on external storage, once you pair the storage to work with mac mini, what would happen if you plug your external storage to window? can detect but not able to open?

this one damn expensive. although look damn nice la. but there is a cheaper aluminium version that’s around RM130 vs this around RM500 early bird. Of course the cheapest is 3D printed around RM40 which my friend already helped me print. Will use for a while see see if I like it. Cheap can for fun. If really like the look and don’t mind the space it takes, might go for a cheaper permanent one with aluminium.

Cause CNC make it cost so much....maybe just 3D print, go Mr DIY buy silver color paint + clear coat = Settle biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I'm using 27" 2k monitor, don't trust the "must use 4k at least" or HiDPI myth online. I'm not seeing any blur text on 2K without using betterdisplay, I have another same specs (albeit lower end) monitor connects to windows 11 side by side and I can't see any different between the two. Maybe I don't have sharp eye.

2k is enuff for today's standard if 4k monitor still expensive...haha

I bought 28” 4k Acer monitor in 2021 around RM1100. I think quite affordable already. They also realeased newer model this year with 160hz 4k around 1300. Was even tempted to get it for gaming. But cannot find the model now. Forgotten the model number..

haha..i just get Dell S2721QS for rm700 used with 3 year left warranty back in 2023.. biggrin.gif

I think can sell at least 1200? 800 is too low. M1 still a capable machine and I'm sure a lot would see it's a steal for around 1200.

No la..some ppl dont want pening so direct to shop is most easiest choice for them. cool2.gif

Set it up in office and actually using it to post this now.  Just want to say the text is quite crisp at default resolution with my 34" 1440p ultrawide Dell office monitor.  Those HDPI requirement is really just marketing gimmick.  sweat.gif

Hold it 1st. I saw someone complaint after using this dock the WIFI drop alot. Maybe due to material too thick hence block the wifi signal. If you use cable then just go for it.

Running software externally would recommend you to get USB4 40gbps.

What kind of software you plan to run though?
*
Some Steam game maybe.

OK this is driving me mad. I am using my Mac Mini M4 with a M7 Samsung 4K monitor. The very first C-C cable that i use to connect them together works perfectly but I felt it was a bit short at 0.5 meters. BTW this is the description of this cable on the shopee page that I bought it from - USB C to USB C Cable 100W USB 3.2 Type C Gen2 20Gbps Data Transfer Cable PD Fast Charging 4K Video Monitor Thunderbolt 3.

Since it was a bit too short I decided to buy a longer cable. This are the specs -  20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C to Type C Cable PD 100W Video 8K@60Hz. However when I try to connect it, there is no signal. So my conclusion is that it is not comaptible.

I bought a 3rd cable - USB4 Cable with 240W Fast Charging 1m 8K Monitor 40Gbps Compatible with USB 4 Thunderbolt 4 Type C. It does not work! No signal!

What specs should I be looking for in the cable? Is it really so difficult to find a compatible cable?? Please help.
*
What brand of the cable you buy?
This is the problem nowadays. Sometimes cheap cable does not have that speed but it rate that speed.

Already start selling. Price is reasonable too! Not in a rush to get yet. Wait review see if it's reliable since the PCB is not as thick as apple's.


*
Wait another 2-3 month only can get true result. The PCB is thick as apple original 1. Problem is original 1 maybe 15mm it has 10 layer, aftermarket same 15mm but only 4 layer... biggrin.gif

not only that, performance as well. Doubt it is as fast as apple. Used to change SSD to another for MacBook pro. regret after changed as performance slow compare to original ssd
*
Performance same. But durability remain question they have done some read write test and temperature remain 55+- should be safe i think.
