What is your usage? M1 pro 14 inch quite capable machine even in 2025

Dunno what is happening with DHL/customs/Apple. Still stuck.

First is:
- the common “Awaiting import license”
- now “Authorization specifying that DHL can make entry on behalf of the customer is required.” (Haven’t seen this before)

Delivery deadline 16/4. Maybe can get late voucher.

mostly devops stuff and occasional virtual machine, looking to get the 13" 24gb spec as my current MBP14 only has 16gb. Don't feel performance is hampered but then again all these reviews online are really very potent racun

Mine is out for delivery now.

It's coming! Been checking courier every 5 mins since it arrived in MY.

Probably in the same van. LOL

But MBP14 better cooling, display, ports, speakers. Unless u go for MBP14 M4, not really justify the ‘upgrade’ to MBA

Just received it. Subang area

Quickly buy before the price hike

But it is not Windows

Just received mine. Bdr Sg Long.

You can run Windows on it but why? In any case, Windows has their own homes.


and a laptop.

Can I check with you all who bought the mbam4, what is the language of your non-english manual leaflet?

Was expecting stickers.


Then remembered no more stickers from Apple. Would have loved to have a sky blue sticker.

If pickup from TRX, can request for stickers right? What colour are the stickers?

Can install Windows 11 in M4?

Install using Parallels desktop or vmware fusion

Not a good option

Did anyone change from MBP M1/M2 to MBA M4? Thinking about it but still hesitant. I remember back when I used an MBA, on occasion, some of my work will cause it to heat up a little...

M1 can. Haven't tried, probably won't on the M4.

M4 is hotter. I saw a review where it thermal throttles faster than the M3 and with higher temps on the keyb. So for sustained operations, probably better to stick with fans. I suppose if you don't use it on your lap, you can mod the mba with thermal pads to get more heat to the bottom case.

I actually made the leap of faith sidegrading to MBA 13 M4 from MBP 14 M1 Pro. First unit I opened had a small chip which exposed the aluminium so had to reject it as DOA machine (got the Midnight variant)

So far impressed with unit. Came with around ~50% ish charge and last charged 26 Jan 2025 so assume that is the manufacturing date. Nothing crazy on the heat so far while setting this up and battery is down to 10% after 4 hours.

And oh my it is so light
