Hi there I am new here, just got myself a MB 13inch white yesterday, please check on Macbook casing thread and please help me to choose the bag and case.

Thanks.

Mine arrived at Subang for custom clearance rather than straight to Penang. It seems like Apple has realized that there will be clearance delay if send to Penang.

For the game part, I test it out for you.

So far, I created a Win XP via BootCamp purely for gaming purposes only. Since my MB White is quite new, I have tried out Serious Sam 2 and Heroes of the Might and Magic V...the graphics work superb. Later, I would want to try other games like:-

1. Doom 3
2. DotA
4. Command and Conquer - Red Alert 3

I did some read up on the graphics card, I believe my MB White graphic card (9400m) is just an average one, so certain games should work fine. Boosting the RAM up to 4gb should help with burden I think.

By the way, when I'm playing 3D games such as HOMM5, my Mac seems to heat up a LOT...where the heat sensation is pretty noticeable on the keyboard, and this has never happen when I'm in Mac OS X. I tend to have this perception that when I do gaming on XP, hardware acceleration did took place, thus the heat.

i agree with cRazYee...of all brands i think HP has the worse trackpad surface

DotA can run fine. Doom 3 i managed to run at ultra quality in parallels desktop 3 before on my previous MBP (with radeon x1600...i think abt the same performance as the 9400m or slightly faster) so no problem at all in bootcamp

red alert 3 is playable but have to tone down the graphics a bit

if uols don't mind, i wanna ask, how about graphic software like adobe photoshop or illustrator? Any problem running those type of programs?

Apple unibody is having a glass material for the trackpad.... What if others PC laptop following the same material... Maybe can make it smoother as Apple doing now.

The new apple macbook not sure is having a glass trackpad?!
Answer : it is glass multitouch pad... great~

9400M can handle both photoshop n illustrator, no worries

Finally got myself a Macbook Pro 13 inch!!!! It is as awesome as people say it is. No flaws in design! I think I'll be sticking to this one for years to come, no matter how many updates Apple announces. After all, this is my first Mac

wait till u try to use a fat USB drive haha

welcome to the club!

Thanks! You've got a point there, but for class, portability really means a lot. The sleekness is just like the icing on the cake Tonight I'll experiment with OS X, and read some guidelines by the mac gurus here

may i ask what course are u in?

Guys, wanna ask that if i wanna plug my mac on power at taiwan, which head should i bring? And will there any problem using it? Need to buy convertor or not?

Just now went to Switch bought Speck See-Thru Satin. Get ready to welcome my Macbook Pro.

Just bought a new MBP, 15" yesterday (10 Dec 09) at Machines in 1U. I just check and the os is OS X 10.5.8 , not snow leopard as i'd expect.

Shouldn't I be getting Snow Leopard instead ?

I wanted to get a black Speck SeeThru satin casing too but Switch only had 1, and that one had a corner ripped. So.. I just bought a cheaper sleeve that has more pockets. That way, I can put more stuff

Yes, you should, I believe.

When I bought the Speck, they have 3 colors, red, yellow and purple. Didn't see any black color. It also has the Speck hard shell type but I like the soft touch finishing so bought the Satin.

Anyone know whether if using Speck SeeThru, can I still put on Moshi palm guard? Thinking of getting palm guard as well.
