Retina MacBook Pro 15" Disaster

Oh well. Today i stumbled upon an issue regarding rMBP.

Apparently, Apple has discourage the use of palm guard protectors as it will damage your screen.

Apple has warned against the usage here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4384


Products Affected
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

Symptoms
Leaving palm rest covers or other material on the palm rest surface of your computer could result in damage to the display when you close it.

Resolution
To enable thin design, the clearance between the display and the palm rest area is engineered to tight tolerances. Do not use palm rest covers as the added thickness may interfere with the designed resting position of the display.

As a best practice, keep the palm rest clear of any material.


So this is what happens when i start to peel it off.


Don't say Apple haven warned you yet! Look at the last line.


Argh! Just peel it off la. Feel like the whole area dislocating. What the SHIT! Only the matte surface came off.


Okay the next layer, it's sticks to the aluminium even stronger..


Peel and Peel


Finally! Everything off! Fuck this shit.


The stain is all over the place.

In the end, i managed to get rid of the sticky adhesive, but it's an awful experience, i would recommend anyone who are into 3rd party accessories to just keep your macbook clean and save the money.

Feeling utterly disappointed. I went on to remove the keyboard protector which causes me to have awkward typing and it sucks anyway. The screen protector which defeats my purpose of a retina display.

Freebies and really just freebies.

Lesson learnt. Enjoy your Mac like i do. Apple designed this beauty to be used like this.

Been so long...

Hello. It's been so long since i last blogged. Because of what? NS. Yeah. It sucks. And now i'm 19days away from ORD. But anyway, it's been a rough and tough shit this 2years, basically, everything about army is shitty. 2 years of blank they said.

Yesterday, i was surfing, and i happened to type faceshop. So i came to this website called SUNNANZ. So i clicked and went on to take a look. It is a skincare website. They are almost like a wholesaler, so i thought, well, instead of giving my money to guardian and faceshop. Why not give it a try.

So i add a few items to cart. And it came up to $41.20 instantly. Entered my details and was shocked that paying by credit card or debit card has admin charges.

Luckily there was the option for Internet Banking, which was great. And i go for it. Stumble upon the option for delivery was weekdays and weekend, i weekdays, but was rather worried that it might not ship and they hold it over the weekends, so i gave one of the owner, Christina a Whatsapp message. And she promptly replied.

Fast forward to today, after all the payment and things like that. The items arrived at almost 7pm. Alright in time with their schedule of 5pm to 8pm.

Received all the items and some little cute bag. Random samples.

This is the bag they gave to put the items you bought in a safe safe place.

The New Zealand Volcanic Clay Blackhead Charcoal Nose Strip was totally crushed. The content seems alright.

The types of mask i bought, 5 each. Sebum Control Soothing Mask, Vit B Hydrogel Mask, Mung Bean Mask. All to cure my acne.

Overall, not too bad.
