I would like know if the New Macbook (White) with 2GB DDR3 is sufficient enough running Windows XP/Windows 7 pallerel with Snow leopard. I am not heavty duty user. Just do some cad software on Win XP.

Should I get mini display port to dvi / vga if I want display on Dell ST24 LCD and Panasonic 50S10K Plasma. Worth it buy at Apple Store or Lelong/ebay selling cheaper?

Would it easy to purchase the 2GB DDR3 RAM from ?
How much worth it cost ?

I have checked around Digital Mall and all the seller said very hard to get stocks for DDR3 for Macbook and they usually don't order as said demand is extremely low.

On Parallels or virtualization modes, I would recommend 4GB of RAM. Running via BootCamp, 2GB is alright. Windows XP and Windows 7 are easier on the resources. But still 2GB will run unless you're dealing with a lot of programs both from Mac and Windows.

Get it from Cycom, 2nd Floor Lowyat Plaza. They have Corsairs 2GB DDR3 modules selling for RM140.

i run autocad 2002 a lot in windows xp on parallels 4. pretty smooth.

i've also tried autocad 2008 in windows 7...quite slow ;p but maybe u can turn off some features to make it faster. im not familiar with 2008 hehe

sorry guys a very noobie to be asked, may I know what is the difference between unibody & without unibody??
*paiseh*

I already placed my order.

I just wonder why take so long.

got my new macbook unibody, still familiarizing myself to the Mac OS
Any recommendation for protector casing for the body, pretty easy to scratch

guys, may I ask, if put in bootcamp / parallel with windows xp / vista - can install the *ahem* version ?

I'm using Speck case for outer protection and Moshi palm guard for inside. Saving up more to get Moshi keyboard protector.

no need to know the difference....now all models are unibody hehe juz remember unibody = good build quality


i used the Speck thing but a lot of ppl say dust can go in n somehow leave small scratches. i got the speck casing anyway and i opened it up n clean inside atleast once a week. i still get small scratches . n some of the clamps broke off cuz i take it out too often.

i got myself zagg invisible skin... rm110 in garage sales. very hard to apply, but at least i know my mac is protected

Although now all are unibody construction but there's the aluminum material and one that is polycarbonate plastic. By the way, I kinda like the Incipio Feather for Macbook Pro better than the Speck. Both also see through. Still I'm not comfortable with the idea of wrapping something over the heat-dissipating feature of the unibody.

Still looking for a sleeve case. Nothing fancy available in KL. Machines and others don't seem to carry 13" models. Mostly 15.4 and 17". I found something decent but the design is very very classic and dull. Doesn't really match the 'MBP lifestyle' hehehehe...

the plastic thing wont cause heat issue?

a bit too late, but yeah, referring to batteries, sony manufactures a lot of batteries for laptops. the older lithium-ion-cobalts of the macbooks were also made by sony i think. not sure who's making the lithium-polymer ones now.

If you're talking about MBP aluminum unibody, then you can get either the Incipio Feather for Macbook (or Speck SeeThrough Satin) or a nice sleeve.

Thermal performance should around the same as the Aluminum unibodies. You just lose the surface heat dissipation capability.

actually I'm seeking for new casing as well, kinda bored with my yellow speck...as what "Davidmak" said was right, machine in m'sia doesn't have much choice.. I've checked with epic in spore more or less the same design as those back in KL...
any better recommendation??

im not entirely sure about heat dissipation thing, but my temps are good enuff. aircond room though

mine one is the new macbook white, speck for the older version of macbook can be used?

it wont fit. the shape is very different

hi guys, i planned to get this new macbook white. do you think it's essential to get ACPP? It costs another rm850++ which is almost a quarter price of this macbook. how durable is macbook that the ACPP is so expensive that it leaves the impression that it needs a lot of repair? for normal notebook, lifespan would easily go more than 2 years. how about macbook (including normal and pro) ? or is it a machine that breaks down so often? what is the common problems for macbook?

My previous MBP (with AppleCare) claimed for under performance battery.

My current unibody MBP, in which I insisted the issue (system freeze) with AppleCare claimed for logic board replacement. Eventually, the problem is solved with Snow Leopard.

Up to you to get ACPP or not. For me buying ACPP is buying myself peace of mind
