    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    Not sure if it's my "young" hands, but I got the alignment perfect first go around (different brand, but same thing). It's definitely easier than applying a protective screen cover for your phone and I have no air bubbles but if you do get them they easy to fix with a hair dryer (low setting...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    https://wripwraps.co.za/products/macbook-pro-14-m1-pro-m1-max-skin-2021-present?_pos=2&_sid=b5de0ef5e&_ss=r Doesn't look like you want a skin, but found a SA company if you want to try them out. Personally skins protect my laptop better than a case does, but might also be a case by case...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    I skin all my devices but normally buy from a site that's not available in SA. I was going to buy from Dbrand this time around, but was wondering how long it normally takes. LOL SA delivery times are atrocious my niece got a package last week 2 years after the sending date (snail mail). Airmail...

    After the M2 Air Launch in SA, M2 MacBook Pro Prices Shoot Up!

    Have you ever used the warranty at IC? I heard it isn't very good. I'll be leaving SA soonish so going for Apple Care but if plans fall through, the warranty from IC will come in handy.

    After the M2 Air Launch in SA, M2 MacBook Pro Prices Shoot Up!

    SA websites leave a lot to be desired. I was pleasantly surprised on the lack of photoshop and diversity of the models on clothing websites here, but then I saw Woolworths advertising photos of a clearly torn dress and it made me wonder how much of it is just companies being cheap and not hiring...

    After the M2 Air Launch in SA, M2 MacBook Pro Prices Shoot Up!

    Has anyone bought anything off of Avo-Apple? Website gives off wish vibes and makes me question the legitimacy. I saw that apple partnered with Nedbank but not sure if the below link is the official link. https://www.avo.africa/shopping/product/287G-PWWR I want the Air but hard to say no to...

    After the M2 Air Launch in SA, M2 MacBook Pro Prices Shoot Up!

    I'm also in the market for a new Mac and since the Air isn't getting the best reviews I thought I'd look at the Pro and saw the mark up now. I'm so confused as to how they can get away with that. Just for context I have never bought an Apple product in SA. I lived abroad for ages and Apple...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    I would also prefer the ram. I was guestimating the mac would be 22k and an extra 5k for ram, but as far as I can tell SA doesn't seem to easily import upgraded ram they seem to prefer to buy extra SSD which I definitely don't need. I don't know how legit Macshack is but I found them while...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    I don't like the mark up here so I was going to get it overseas, but the price for the 8 CPU/10 GPU is actually "fair". It's the closest in price to what other places have it at. The slow SSD is a valid concern of course, but the Air hasn't seen a refresh in years I'm sure some would spec the...

    https://www.incredible.co.za/apple-macbook-air-13-m2-8-core-cpu-8gb-ram-512gb-ssd-10-core-gpu-midnight Not sure if that means Incredible Connection is doing pre-orders or if they have it in stock. Thought I'd share in case someone knows or wants to try out the checkout process. They don't have...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    I do. My pc usage will be changing shortly. If they kept the same form factor the decision would be so easy. I would just go with a Pro, it's what I've always had but that's more cause I didn't like the look of the Air. Also, speaking of the Core Group I'm torn between iCare and Apple Care. I...

    New MacBook Air M2 Chip Pricing guide

    I recently returned to SA and I guess I was spoiled by day 1 releases for years that even a 2 week wait seems insane to me. Does the SA market always get Apple products after release date? The markup also seems crazy to me but I suppose that's just Apple for you. Has anyone gotten an official...

    iPad Pro or Macbook?

    Ditto Complaining to HQ doesn't help. They had a deal a few months back where you didn't pay any interest on the Air and the stores refused to acknowledge the deal. They said head office sent out an email explaining the T&C and they just following the guidelines they were sent. It seems they...
