if i remember right, all macbooks/pros right now using the 'three ring type' audio jack that can support both audio in and out..this type of port is slightly loose compared to the old one. mine is loose as well, but still ok la. juz have to adjust2 my headphone a bit when using ;p


Added on December 26, 2009, 4:53 pmumm guys, i've just starting shooting RAW on my camera, and when i import them into lightroom 2.5... performance dropped a lot compared to dealing with JPEGs (of the same picture/resolution). i'm aware that RAW files contain more info n such...but do u guys suffer any substantial lag when dealing with RAW files? my specs are as below, using 9600m gt.

raw file is huge, maybe it's a call to upgrade your RAM to 4gb? icon_idea.gif

Dear All,

Need some help before I purchase my MBP tomorrow. Is 2gb ram good enough for surfing, occasional gaming such as left for dead, video and movie watching, Itunes and Blackberry as well as office work at home? Also what about hard disk space, is 160gb enough or I can upgrade cheaper outside myself for both ram and hard disk later when I have money. Thanks

urm firstly i dont know which mbp you are getting so i cant really advise on what you shud do. but from the info you provided, i think 2gb is enough for the stuff you wanna do. seems pretty basic. nod.gif but you might wanna up the 160gb hardisk space. but dont have to buy from machines or wherever you are planning to buy your mac with cos its usually more ex. buy seperately. hdd are even available at GS. thumbup.gif

no one can say if 160gb is enough for u or not tongue.gif. but if u wanna upgrade, get a 2.5" SATA hdd urself at normal computer shops n upgrade yourself. very easy. same goes to RAM

but for ur usage, 2GB is fine smile.gif

Thanks all for the feedback. Ordered my MBP 13.3 2.26ghz via Apple Online just now. Will upgrade later myself the hardisk and ram when needed and after warranty expires. Was torn between the macbook white and this but decided to go for the MBP for its form factor and slightly less weight compared to MBW. Also saw somebody trying to sell off his MBW after a few days and upgrading to MBP, I would not wanna be in that situation. Just got a call from my credit card company on approval. Woohoo Mac here I come...........Actually this has been on my wishlist for quite some time so its like a dream come true.

Macbook Pro 13 seems a ripoff to me. You can similiar spec (same proc, same ram, same gpu) for Macbook 13 with bigger HDD (250 over 160) for RM1000 lesser. All you get in the Macbook Pro is Aluminium unibody.

I think you should wait for the MBP update.
