News & Reviews:   MacBook

For laptops, you always want them to last as long as possible. We think of all sorts of ways to do this, from reducing the power output to tweaking the software settings. But sometimes the best way is for the manufacturer to optimise the product. And Apple has done just that for its MacBook laptops, with the announcement of a new feature to the macOS.

Countries around the world might be going into restrictions, but the march of technology continues. Recently, new patent filings from Apple were found, detailing the possible implementation of the Face ID technology for devices other than the iPhone. Just like how Microsoft uses Windows Hello with Windows PCs, Apple will be using Face ID for its computers.

Last time, we have heard news like OPPO is going to build their own chipset while Apple will be building 5G modems for the iPhones. These days, it seems like it is a good idea for tech companies to supply themselves components that are needed to produce their products, not to say after witnessing Huawei coming through the trade war. Going back to Apple, the tech giant is rumoured to launch new MacBooks without Intel processors this year, and will use self-made processors instead.

Just recently, Apple officially unveiled the 16-inch and 13-inch MacBook Pro from RM12199 and RM10499 respectively. In terms of the tech specs,  it comes equipped with a 9th generation Intel Core i9 processor, up to 16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM and 1TB of SSD storage.

Apple’s Back to School Promotion has been announced today, allowing university students who are studying in Malaysia, to get either the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro starting from RM4299 and RM5099 respectively instead of the original price of RM4699 and RM5499. You can get these laptops from either Apple’s official website, Apple Store app as well as selected authorised resellers in Malaysia by the end of this week.

July 27 seems to be a date to look out for, especially for Mi fans. One of the devices that will be launched is apparently the Mi Laptop, and we have leaked specs of the upcoming machine from Xiaomi.
