Hi Apple expert,

Can i check if student price is the cheapest way to get a macbook now?
I would like a MBA 2020 but I have heard of thermal issue. Or would MBP be better even though it is $450 more?

Would you guys recommend getting applecare?

I may not be using this laptop alot very I already have a desktop at home and the reason I want to buy a laptop is because I am enrolling in some basic upskilling computing modules. Please advise.

Cheapest is to wait for it to be released in refurb store bah

Base 2019 16 inch MBP

Retail : $3499
Student : $3209
Refurb : $2969

So refurb mac with student applecare probably lowest cost.

wait for 1 month more or so, during Back To School promo, they will give you a headset, last year is beats, this year US's is airpods.

get to buy the mac with student price
sell off the headset and you get to buy a better price

 

[jeffprobst]

my apologies. been some time since i last used a mbp. was wondering does anyone install anti virus on the mbp? if so can recommend?

Hi all,

What will be recommended configuration for MBP which i just want to use for simple graphic editing and video editing mainly output to 1080p with Photoshop/After Effects/FCP?

MBP13 with i7, 32gb ram and 1tb cost 3700? **** expensive

Need so high specs?

i7 upgrade looks really pointless IMO and at that cost can get 16 inch alr

 

[hereiam7788]

When will it be for Singapore?

my guess will be mid of july and last until early sept or mid of sept.

worth to wait till then for sure if you have plan for macbook purchase or even ipad air or ipad pro purchase.

Will a refurb version qualify for the free gift?
