News & Reviews:   Apple MacBook Pro Malaysia launch

Rumour has it that Apple will release a new lineup of MacBooks with a new look and the M1 chips in H2 2021. Although it's still a long time to go, a new leak might be giving us a peek beforehand at a feature that the new MacBooks might have. The leak suggests that the future MacBook Pro could have its Touch Bar upgraded with a Force Touch sensor for more interactions.

Are you looking to get a new MacBook? Well, you might want to hold off a little bit, if only to find out what Apple has in store for us soon. News has surfaced claiming that Apple may have a new 13-inch notebook computer in the works that will feature a Magic Keyboard with scissor switches.

Never thought we’d see the day but the Apple MacBook Pro have been banned on flights by the US Federal Aviation Administrator (FAA). The decision came after Apple recalled certain units of the laptop that came with batteries that posed a fire risk.

Apple recently came out with a voluntary recall notice for older 15-inch MacBook Pro units sold between September 2015 and February 2017 that may be prone to overheating. So, if you bought a 15-inch MacBook Pro during that time period, you can send it in for a free battery replacement (which should take 1 to 2 weeks).

As more and more premium laptops flood the Malaysian market, it gets increasingly more difficult to find the best premium laptop for your needs even when your price range is around RM5000 or RM5K. While 15-inch display laptops offer a bit more in terms of display real estate, the 13-inch display premium laptops are the more serious workhorse devices you'd probably need to work and play on the go.

For that purpose we've put together a list of some of the best 13-inch display laptops for around RM5K that you can get or will soon be available in Malaysia. There's a whole bunch to choose from, so let's get to it!

As Apple WWDC 17 draws closer, we got our first news of the upcoming products that will be shown at the event. According to sources, a new Macbook and Macbook Pro model will be announced, as well as a Macbook Air.

Remember the time when Microsoft introduced the Microsoft Surface Studio? Well, the all-in-one PC don't really have anything to do with with the sales, but the company has proudly announced that November was the month ever for consumer Surface sales ever. As written in their blog post, they mention more consumers (especially the professional users) are switching sides from Apple's new Macbook Pro that has the Touchbar feature.

Tomorrow on 27 October, Apple will be holding an event (Hello Again) revealing new Mac lineup. It's been awhile actually, since the last Mac upgrade (more than a year) particularly for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and even more so for the Mac mini and Mac Pro for years. The last time that Apple did one was the Retina MacBook that came out in early 2015. So what can we expect? Perhaps three new Mac products?

So here's something interesting, the US Patent and Trademark Office have published a new patent applications of the Cupertino-based company. And what could that be? A modification of the Apple iPad's smart keyboard.

The Apple MacBook Pro is turning 7 years old, with the current generation launched about a year ago. It is the right time for the model to be refreshed or made anew, and the rumours speculating about the next model are fantastic. We may see a thinner model in the works, along with a touch-sensitive OLED panel at the top of the keyboard, as part of the refresh.
