how about the screen resolution? do you guys think upgrade from 1,440-by-900-pixel to high-resolution, 1,680-by-1,050 is a good choice?

If buy ACPP when you buy your mac, you will get extra phone call support (need confirmation). Thats the only difference I think.

Dunno about magic mouse but Im not a fan of Apple mouse. More into high dpi mouse

which mouse u r using now? hmm.gif

That depends actually. I'm now on a 13' MBP temporarily and the only times that I feel the constraint is when I'm working on something that requires high resolution.

One thing for me that'll come in very useful on a high res screen though, is that I can use Interface Builder for doing up iPad application screens without having to scroll up and down too much smile.gif

Originally I had been pondering on the 17' screen 'cause of this, but looks like I can do with just the 15' with the upgraded display.

thanks... i m still undecided... doh.gif

Im loving the price drop..but it may apparently take awhile to arrive(perhaps 2 weeks for my custom config 15 inch mbp..replacement for my 5 year old powerbook)..Just spoke to a rep from Apple about it.
Is it available in stores in and around KL already?
*
wah... so long? i tried to customise.. and they show me 2 - 4 days.. btw.. would like to hear more inputs regarding

"upgrade from 1,440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit, glossy display to a high-resolution, 1,680-by-1,050 glossy for RM294"

1) worth it?
2) good for photo editing user?
3) or any pros and cons?

sorry for always asking bout this.. bcoz it is something that cant be changed after purchase sad.gif

You can only track once your unit gets shipped out..Apple will send you an email about it...custom configs will take a little longer

QUOTE(wiraone @ Apr 15 2010, 09:50 AM)
If you've customised yours, it probably need to wait for a while until you get the shipping notification from Apple. When you've got this, you could track where it is. Stock standard comes from Singapore, customised one comes from Shanghai I believe.

Opss.. LB has answered it already ..  thumbup.gif

okok.. thanks for the reply.. i cant wait to have a first touch on first Mac tongue.gif i checked just now.. in apple store shows "NOT YET SHIPPED" sad.gif i only customise the LCD.. hope they can fix it faster smile.gif
