Education pricing for primary school teachers is available if purchased through the Apple Education Program. - https://www.apple.com/my-edu/store
For resellers (Machines/Switch etc.) , this offer is valid only for higher education institutions.

Can apply through UNiDAYS.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for the info. Will look into it.

For external drive I plan to get Acasis TBU405ProM1 + WD SN850X 2TB combo is that a good combo? Not sure the 850X is a bit overkill for TB4 or I shall just get the SN770 intead?

depend price difference. But surely the speed is overkill for TB4. It's already limited to around 3500-4000MB/s. Unless you get thunderbolt 5 enclosure and M4 Pro. But don't think market has any TB5 enclosure yet.
*
The price different is around RM100+. Think will just go for 850X as it has DRAM, at least in the future when I pop it onto a PC motherboard it's still a very capable nvme.

that is confirm as may be 10 - 18 Dec. Worse case after 18 dec, they need to rush for delivery before christmas. Christmas sale else apple sale no good result

So late? dry.gif I was thinking ideally can get one by this month-end. My last apple machine was a mini late 2009. That time the OSX was still all about Cat's name lol.
Excited to get back to Mac OS tho I don't see myself going back to ios eco on mobile devices front.

Usually apple launch their sales on Friday. Always pre order friday, release on the following friday..

So those who purchase it online will get it to ship to them before the release date or Apple online will start shipping after the release following friday?

Overkill because limited by TB4 speed around 3500MB/s..  Get a TB4 enlosure that comes with fan inside for better cooling. Keeping it cool is important if you are going to store a lot apps and runs off external. If overheat it will disconnect itself. You can take a look at UGREEN and ORICO enclosure. Don't know specific model name. I've seen them on Taobao.

Can look for Kingston KC3000. Around 350 for 1TB and 800TBW compared to many 1TB ssd that's only 600TBW

My Acasis enclosure and WD SN850X 2TB are on the way lol. The nvme is a bit overkill but I'm gonna run apps off it and some video/photo editing so I think no harm. Just afraid about overheating with the dram on it but I saw quite a few reviews the Acasis case while not getting the maximum speed it's very good at temp control with the fan.

I'm guessing those are supposed to send to our market but somehow they managed to sneak some out for their black market. Good thing is we know we'll be getting ours pretty soon now.

Can I know which configuration that you all ordered? I ordered M4 Mac mini 24GB unified RAM and 512GB SSD (not M4 pro).

Getting the base model. The status changed to processing now. Hope it changes to preparing to ship soon....lol
24GB of RAM is good upgrade but not sure about the extra 256GB storage for RM850, I bought WD SN850X 2TB nvme with good enclosure for less than 1K.

May I know how to get instalment option from the education store? Cant find the option when i tried to checkout

I noticed the option for instalments only appear on normal website but not on edu even before the launched. Maybe you can contact your cc bank directly if the option is not there on checkout.

Plan getting 24GB ram + 256SSD... when third party SSD available upgrade into 1tb.

I was planning to upgrade the ram too thinking double the ram for RM850 is not bad and then I realized that's only 8GB not 16GB for that price lol. Think I'm good on 16GB coz my task are all normal usages, maybe some video editing occasionally.

8GB is minimum, 16gb is ok, 24gb future prove.

Totally agree. More so on the ram now is unified. I just bought 8GB of ddr3 ram for my old mini upgrade for RM24 lol. Albeit a used ram.
