My 15" year 2008 magbook pro (not unibody) started to have problem... sigh.
The keyboard and trackpad will hang after 2 hours usage. Could be due to the heat. Working in air-con room will be fine.
Anyone encounter this problem?

Are you using any sort of keyboard sleeve or protector by the way ?

No, never use anything like that. Some people said it was due to logic board problem but I'm not really sure.
I can still use the bluetooth keyboard/mouse (if they're connected). Only the built in keyboard and trackpad have this problem.

Instead of pure speculation by some people, aren't you better off sending it to a service provider for a checkup....?

Yup, just sent it there. Just asking if anyone have similar problem before. At least, I can know what I'm expecting later.
If really the logic board problem, then it's going to burn a big hole the pocket.

question here...
i just buy a macbook with osx 10.5.7,
it's can get upgrade to osX 10.6 when release?

yes, you may upgrade to Snow Leopard but with a price.

*I sense bombshells on the way*

Just bought Macbook Pro a few hours ago. How long do i have to charge?

6-8 hours? you can still use it in the mean time

Hi last night i was using my macbook with my power adapter on like usual. Suddenly i realized that the end of the charger doesnt have the usual orange/green light anymore. I think it's a faulty adapter now. Anyone faced similar problems? What should i do?

Have you tried other power point ?

Yes i did. Even tried the shorter cable to other point. Called up the service centre, been told that i have to get new one for RM300. I just had problem with the hairline crack at the topcase and now the adapter.

The normal 13 inches macbook with only 2GB isit good enuff to run photoshop for art purposes without lagging? if play game(some normal rpgs) ok ma?
And do you need to keep servicing it? Can it last for at least 3 years or more?

im getting a macbook/MBP. The main concern for me is should i get it now? or later? Any recommendation?

Erm.. if you are not in a hurry then better wait till September for the new sleek OS. No nid to pay extra.

ouch... it's really almost 300 bucks for a 60W power adaptor. I hope mine holds up.
Apparently a bulk of the problems happen at where the wire connects to the magnetic connector. I remember reading somewhere that apple have fixed this FOC in some cases. Are you sure yours failed right at the power adaptor itself and not the cable?

for photoshop,it's good enuff edi with 2gb.plus,latest 13" using ddr3 edi.For game,i'm not sure.didn't play games with mac.
