absolutely. well getting the lower end model for the 13" mid 2009 MBP seems to be a better idea if u have cheap access to buying 2 2GB ddr3 rams and 250GB hd since upgrading both will cost less than CAD$300 here (since the lower end and higher end model differs by 300CAD). however, i u dont want to go thru the hassle of having to find a better deal for 2 2gb ddr3 rams and 250 gb ram then i suggest getting the higher end model. since 2.26GHz and 2.53GHz is hardly noticable except when u run bechmark tests. then againn it all depends on what kinda user are u. if ure just gonna use ur MBP for simple tasks like surfint the web, chatting, office and whatnot. get the lower end model.

Ahh..I plan to get the first spec mbp 13inch. I also plan to upgrade it to 4gb ram. So when I get a dual OS, I can do whatever a regular Windows can on a Mac like setting up an ad hoc connection etc?

Anyone know is mac have the feature of "task manager" in Windows?
Because i feel opened few softwares and the ram eat up almost all. sigh.
Or any other way to see what program is open so i can close it?

Can the MBP use any regular laptop ddr3 ram or it needs a specific one?

hurm yeah its the same.
u have to choose the 1066mhz or higher and you are good to go.
i think so.
i also dunno.
thinking of upgrading my ram too to 4gb.
but theres one thread called OCZ ram.
is it good guys?

if got budget, you can push the ram up to 8gb

anybody experiencing speaker "pecah" on the macbook?
im wondering if we were to maxed out the volume of the macbook speaker boleh pecah ka in the future?

just becareful when u max out ur volume. tho im sure the apple engineers have set the max volume to the point where the speakers can hold out, im pretty sure after much wear the speakers can get weak and starts distorting and crack when u max out the volume.

apple engineer did limit it i believe cuz in bootcamp windows the volume just boost up like mad

Hi,

I'm getting a Macbook Pro 13" soon. I plan to use the machine as my main PC for my work with graphic, programming, video editing stuff...in short, so many windows and cluttered workspace. So I guess the 13" screen won't be enough.  But I chose it, anyway, over the 15" coz of the portability. And with the price difference, I plan to buy a 24" or 30" Dell Monitor to compensate for the small screen.

My question is: will the GPU in the notebook be able to support high resolutions in these monitors? and how easy it is to setup the dual screen mode? any special stuff I need to know about?

Thank you in advance for helping a new mac convert.
