may i know what do u mean never compare? it looks 'basic' ? meaning?

still on the path of learning

Im not able to retrieve my mail when I use a cable connection on my MBW via Mail. I also can't log on MSN if I'm using cable connection. Perhaps its some restriction..hmm

I'm not an Apple fanboy because if I do I would be a mac user since ages ago. Mac was engineered from ground up and not something where you just mix and match to get the almost same thing. You might get almost close but you need to remember that the piece of thing that you have right now is of engineering wonders.
For example let me take you on different path. No offence to others though but a Wira/Waja with an Evo engine is still a Wira/Waja compared to Mitsubishi Evo. The car was engineered from ground up meaning everything is thought for and not just about horsepower. Yes some might boast about having 600bhp which is the same for modified Evo as well but can it sustain laps over laps in track? Maybe the engine won't break down on you but other parts were not designed to work with that kind of bhp. Bear in mind that all engineering goodies comes with a nice price tags with different type of headaches.
For example not all country have Apple store or even Apple Authorised resellers etc. I was in Tunis recently for about 1 half month and on my last week there I got to know that there is one Apple first Authorised Reseller shop opening on that same week. Imagine if anything happen to my Mac then, it would be headache to get things done fast. Not only that, even if you want something for your Mac then it might be of a problem as well as I went to the shop, had a nice long chat with them and got to see what they have in store.

So in short Mac is engineered from ground up. The hardware was designed with the exact OS in mind. You can always read what are the engineering wonders that they have in the Mac from Apple website and do abit of thinking there for a while. Enjoy and utilize all or most of the wonders they have

Another solution, if this mail is your own mail, own domain hosting kinda thing, try to use other method like SSL (different port) etc instead of normal SMTP.

I am actually using my gmail. I have absolutely no idea on working on the PPTP or what. Any ideas?

malaysian consumers are always blind with the hardware spec, which is kind of sad

A mac is more than a computer, is a piece of products
when speaking of product, there are something more in engineering and design than hardware spec

totally agree with u man..
and yes it is so sad
SIZE really doesnt matter.

well
if hardware spec is everything
why it's not ACER still failed to deliver?

No doubt i agree with this .. this is very obvious in the industry..

i dont think it's only 'malaysian consumers'

btw i have a pretty different opinion though... i dun think macs are 'designed from the ground up to suit OSX'. it's still a computer with pretty much the same components. the only thing 'designed for OSX' is probably juz multitouch, and the lack of 'on bluetooth' and 'on wifi' buttons..which is good!

it's nice to see apple trying to improve the design of computers as a whole, w/o relation to OSX. until now we still need to hands to pry open a typical windows laptop...with macbooks we only need one finger. great display, huge trackpad, n good looks. makes me wonder why other companies dont put much effort on this stuff. they're the ones competing in the windows world, but it's like there's no competition at all when we look at their hardware designs

i dont think bluetooth and wifi buttons become necessary
may i already use to it

even like win 7 already got software UI to control such things
press Windows+x

i dont like a single thing has too many of control

nobody reply...

if u want d easiest way.. go and find Wei.
he can help.

wei ? thats his user id ?

My own personal laptop I bought it in 1996 (NEC) after that sometime in 2001 I bought a normal PC. Then a few Sun servers arrived into my life and nothing else. Then last year I bought a Mac I changed

I don't look for spec. If I need to, well I have my Sun which certainly can do intensive computing power that I need. The only Windows that I have now is on office laptop

I do tend to see alot of people aligned that way. They tend to compare CPU power etc. That's life anyway. If it doesn't go that way then Apple will be the only computer maker in the world. lol

i jus bought the magic mouse in MTCS group shop. I just discovered last night they charge RM50 more than other Mac shops. I thought Apple products are fixed. Can I get back my RM50? Can I complain to Apple Malaysia. Please advice. Tq

The price should be RM229 for all shops. If they charge higher than that please make a complain to Apple Malaysia.

Guys...i have a problem when i play games using bootcamp..
Only recently this problem turn up..Is that halfway playing my screen turns black..
From what i've googled i think its my GPU overheating..and compared to last time i notice that the temp of my mac while playing game has dramatically increase..
I only play warcraft 3 and it was never this hot..Its so hot until putting ur hand on it becomes unbearable..
is there something wrong with my mac? The heat sink maybe?

I'm running 10.6.2 and windows 7
Macbook Alu 2.4GHz..

the thing is, what's the use of more CPU power if the system is going to be slowed down by antivirus or malware anyway?

thx, i never knew we can complain about this

warcraft3 shouldnt heat up ur system much. you can try open the back panel and clean ur fans and heatsink, maybe they're just clogged with dust

Hey thanks!
There really was dust caught up..i removed in and now my mac is quiet and smooth and so not HOT! @@ xD

Does anyone remove the battery on the new MBW when using it? I usually leave my ac adapter on my macbook on all the time when im using it at home. Will it shorten the battery life or something?
