Torn in between MacBook Air & MacBook Pro

[bodohboy]

If u want portability, I would say MacBook Air. But if u prefer performance, I would choose pro. Either way you are ok one. Personally I am using pro because there is no new air when I purchase the pro. If not likely I get air

But the weight difference very negligible leh, both damn portable

Exactly. MacBook Pro way sturdier also.

I would say just go for the base model MacBook Pro.


There’s no need to get refurbished. Find a student and get educational price



P/s: where’s the MacBook Pro 16 inch?

coming out next March with the new ipad pros apparently

Thanks all. Got a pro instead and really love it. The touch bar especially.

Sounds like a Long wait. Don’t think they do November launch. Not sure what is going on with the shipment rumours

i think the touchbar is quite redundant tbh...

i used my mbp for 3 years alr but i barely use the touchbar

Maybe its new to me thats why i will look to it for the functions thats app related first before looking up on screen.

My macbook air died on the 3rd year, A MONTH!! after the apple care ended. Bloody hell. It would cost almost $400 to repair, replace the motherboard and battery. Both burned.

This has been for sometime? If not if it’s like just 1 month later, can request for discretion

How much was it?

How much was it?

The 512gb ssd of the basic model
2100+++?

returned my initial purchase and went for a refurb set with better cpu, more ram, more thunderports for almost same price.

damn 16gb is sweet. never knew 8gb will be barely enough for me

Thanks. thats what i thought so also...

until i read an article about the 2019 MBA, the processor seemed to be no better than my 2015 macbook. Which is a bummer as i find my current macbook quite lag when i doing heavy email replies and webstore management.

buy the MBA and live regret. I started with MBA and was horrified by its performance. Upgraded to the MBP and didn't regret it at all.

MBA offer no real weight advantage and performance is really regrettable

I don’t think you are in the scene for long.

you must be the veteran in this scene and knows it all.....

I prefer using MacBook Air since it's not as heavy as MacBook Pro. I guess it's not a really strong reason why you should choose a computer, but since I travel quite a bit, it's way more comfortable for me.

new 16-inch looks like a pretty cool upgrade
