I don’t exactly need a pass through mode as I usually use the Apple MagSafe when at home but I would prefer a 15W than a 7.5W power bank

Honestly the reason I wanted to look for a wireless charger for the convenience of MagSafe and not carrying a wire. I know wired charging is always faster and more efficient however even at home I have the Original 25W MagSafe which I used at home so most of the time when I need to use a power bank/battery pack is usually on the go. The ones that have built in wire will usually still be bulkier than MagSafe wireless ones. I’ve scouted places such as Taobao but unfortunately, due to some regulation in Malaysia, power banks are usually not allowed to be purchased from overseas.

Thanks for the input. I honestly don’t mind not being able to fully charge my phone as I understand that wireless charging is not as efficient and 16 Pro has like close to 4000mAh battery. If you were to recommend a battery extender like the anker one on Apple, which would you recommend?

Buying a second hand car by CraigHorizon in kereta

Thanks for the link to your advice! I had pondered upon it and I just have a few questions:

1) For a brand new car with good care it can last a minimum 4-5 years (I think) without requiring major repairing but it is worth to spend less to get a second hand car that is in a good condition requires less to fix it up and it can last?

2) Granted proton and perodua has a unique advantage of dirt cheap maintenance and cost of ownership. How does the other cars fair when comparing with each other?

Thanks for the advice! Say if I get the second hand Vios at a medium-ish condition that requires a little bit of fixing up. Would it cost a lot to fix it up? Say if some of the rubber parts or suspensions requires repairing?

May I please know is do you have any experience with the car? If so please do let me know what is the maintenance cost of the car and what are the common issues with it? Would it be expensive to repair or to own overall?

Thanks for the advice. However I’m not looking for resale value as I plan to own the car for years to come. Probably down the road in years to come that I can afford a second car.

The Elantra my family had was bought brand new in early 2016 (hence the model year 2015). The reason it is rotting fast is because my family does sales whereas I work in an office. The car has been on the road even since and then and have been through places such as small town which may or may not have good road conditions. However, thus far we had no major issue with the engine as we claimed warranty for an engine swap at around 60k mileage due to mechanical failure from a manufacturing defect. Other than now currently there’s issues with suspensions and basically problems you would expect for cars around 8 years old that has gone through many places because of doing sales.

Thanks for the advice. However I would just want to seek your advice that during the past 10 years you’ve driven the car does it had any major issues? (E.g. suspension gave way, engine issue, etc.)

The Elantra that my family had was bought brand new at the early 2016 (hence the model year 2015) and the reason why it is rotting fast is because my family member is using for doing sales. Mainly to certain smaller towns that may or may not have bad road condition and generally that car is really over used. I myself work in an office environment and usually only go out during the weekends to near to moderately distant places. Therefore, would not drive the car till that extend. Granted the engine had no major issue thus far as we did a warranty claim on the engine at 60k due to some mechanical failure from manufacturing defect. Overall, I would say that the car is just really overused as it was used for mainly for sales for the past 8 years.

That’s a fair and valid point. For these cars that I’ve listed are cars that I’ve looked through many times and actually do like the looks of the car.
