firwire 800 - no way to overcome. u'll juz have to settle with USB
SD slot - can use card reader, no problem. it's just nice not to have to bring extra stuff with the MBP

for music production, yep u can use GarageBand 1st, which comes free with ur Mac. no idea how to rate it since i dont do any music production hehe...

u might not need adobe reader, because OSX have native support for PDF files. the Preview app can open pdf files..n 4 me feels like much faster than adobe reader anyway. but then adobe reader is free so nevermind hehe. if u're talking about adobe acrobat pro then have to buy la. for office 2008, there was this offer that u can get it for rm399 but im not sure if it's still valid or not. for alternatives u can get the cheaper iWork (Keynote rockssss) or go free with OpenOffice or google docs but if u're particular about format, equations, etc...the best way is to use office 2007 in windows.

installing windows natively in bootcamp...maybe 15gb is good enough if u dont plan to install a lot of stuff in it. if performance isnt that important, consider using windows as a virtual machine (u need to get either Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion). for VM i'd recommend 4gb or RAM

sometimes even premium resellers are not that good

edit: damnit i got a "Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message" replying this haha. never know got limit

haha. u really spam emoticons ehh?

yeah run both OS side by side...so even u use windows, u can still access OSX apps n such. i only use for Office 2007

last time i installed crossover, something bad happened...i dont remember what, but i've stayed away from it since

http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html

Nope. sometimes ppl make mistake...for specs juz follow official site. i think that website is confused with the older macbook white... the picture is of the original macbook! probably they juz google image seach "macbook white" then saw the firewire 400 port on the older model

btw it makes no sense to release a device that has FW400 now.. since we have FW800 already

same. thx 4 sharing anyway! sure some1 will find this very useful

i only do simple 3D models in autoCAD (im just a student), so far no problem.

why cant she have a MBP as well?

why do people keep calling it icore 5 or icore 7?

maybe MBP will get a 'rebranded' core 2 as the core i3



im eager to see how the integrated GPU on core i5 compares to the nvidia 9400M.

that's something u paid RM750 for but hope to NEVER need it ;p

good thing, i suppose.

anyway an apple reseller salesperson told me that the new apple remote operates using bluetooth not IR, and is not compatible with MBP

tried it at home with a MBP (i think bluetooth was turned off) and it still works +_+

it works with IR. the bluetooth thing was a misinformation.

yeap i used my remote (it came free with my previous mac hehe!) for presentations before. it's much better than having a groupmate control my slides...so easy to mess up

the new MB white doesnt have an IR port so u cant use the remote. u stil can control slides using a bluetooth phone though, but doesnt look good n quite laggy sometimes (based on my SE phone)

too bad now with this miniDP port i juz make my presentations in powerpoint . adapter to expensive and will only use like less than five times a year..not worth it

errr from my knowledge its the same screen. maybe because the MBP got black frame, making the screen look brighter?

for me it's worth it. u can buy the macbook with 2x1gb, then u can shop for 2x2gb urself, shud be around rm350-400 or so. then install the new 2x2gb, n u can keep the stock RAMs

but then the stock RAMs wont be much use though. adding RM359 for 4gb RAMs which confirm work, n under apple warranty, seems like a good offer to me

well it IS the official store... and no one will try to sell u stuff u dont need... so in that sense it's actually 'safer' ;p

hopefully january 29th ;p but i doubt can get it b4 CNY

guys, need help! kinda urgent

my gf had inserted an 80mm mini-CD in her MBP. it doesnt detect n cannot eject. anyone know how to get it out??

google2 i can only find people say put double sided tape to a card n stick into the dvd drive. is this safe? got any other methods?

wah i totally forgot have to insert on top. thx for reminding haha. panic2 ;p

haiya dude. google cannot use? http://store.apple.com/my

1) copy all ur mp3 files onto an external HDD. plug into the mac, open itunes, then got to File > Import. If u go to preferences, at the Advanced tab, u can tick Keep iTunes Media folder organized and copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library. this two will copy and organize ur mp3s according to artist and album folders.

2) depends on when u got ur blackberry, the OSX version of blackberry app is quite new. as for all softwares, its much better for u to download so u get the latest version. same goes to the casio app, but im not sure if there's an OSX version of it. try looking up casio's website

no need to sorry2. this is the place to share hehe
