actually sold it at carousell for like 30min posting huehue, meetup early this morning... now I'm totally quite lost coz unless I want to wait for next week for new MBP or just buy the base model with 500gb which I predict I'll have same issue as my previous MBP... storage!

I'll try calling epicentre

i will suggest u to order now via apple online n collect it at their store. at least if got cosmetic issue or any small issue u not happy, u can 1 to 1 exchange.

i rather wait n purchase it from apple directly.

Is the i9 thermal throttling issue because of Apple or the processor itself from Intel?

no one knows.

but the only way for it to go its full potential is to work it in a freezer :s13:

but i believe Intel should have some temperature threshold check to throttle the speed down.

Customized so fast come? If send to home then got issue how? Can return?

Apple Store sometimes carry CTO models. fortunately they had the one i was looking at.

and yes if there was any problems (touch wood) can return.

previously many years ago, i had a problem with my 2012 rMBP. They suggested i return it and purchase a new one instead of repairing.

It’s very tempting but my current one still going strong and it’s also the last model with the main ports and illuminated Apple logo.

Really hope Apple will bring back the illuminated logo. The TB is very nice as I’ve personally tried it out, but guess won’t be upgrading anytime soon. :o

Same here. I got my 13" Early 2015 model, still working. Don't see any reason to upgrade unless it's bezeless and perhaps Face ID.

Ahh that could be possible in future MBPs. Face ID in MBPs can be very nice. Perhaps wait until current one spoil or when there’s a new design for MBP then purchase. My current one is still very fast and usable, but I suppose my next one will not be the flagship model. Perhaps a mid-range one is enough.
