2018 Macbook Pros launched

[TrueBeliever_jh]

Way smaller.

I come from the 15” mbp then to 13” unibody and the 15” MBP TB is sleek and very nice to hold/carry.

Speakers are great with the occasional YouTube watching and my processing of RAW files has never been faster. Loooooooovin’ it!

Mine’s a 2016 with 16GB RAM and 4GB Radeon 460.

Imagine 32GB with 4GB Radeon 560...

given the thinness and weight of the laptop. can the lid still be opened with 1 hand? or that's no longer a thing since Steve Job died?

Anyone knows when Orchard will be selling?

I've asked the staff on Friday. They said that even they do not know when. They could be just hiding information from the public.

 

[htngwilliam]

I think they should have it by this Fri

Jus curious.
Nowadays, does new mbp last as long as those mbp in the past?

My 2016 mbp tb already went service center 1 time liao within 1.5yrs.
While my 2013 mbp only went service center once when going reach 3yrs and it's not even a hardware issue. Only the screen coating went off and jus nice Apple ack this issue so I brought it to service center and change the screen.

it maybe depends on your luck... my MBP late 2016 never been sent to service center til today (warranty already expired coz never bought any apple care) - more than 2 years

The new version very difficult to say. The old one can last 6-8 years. Maybe design slimmer and slimmer. The components smaller and smaller. Lol!

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

The 15” comes with 6 cores 12 threads. It should last for awhile bah.

How do we prove as a student while buying from the edu store?

When buying online, usually Apple will not ask for any proof. I purchased from edu store a few time never kena asked before. However in the T&C it states that Apple has the right to ask for proof and if unable to proof, you’ll need to pay the non-edu price for your Mac.

You could, but I prefer to use both hands.

I only use one hand when it’s not my laptop.

Even with a hard case on, its still pretty slim.
