well for me the functionality matters more. if i can get used with these:
- typing in the dark is not really a hassle for me since i don't look at the keyboard when typing
- the housing doesn't really matter much to me.

so i guess my pick would be macbook. hmm

I agree that the Macbook Pro is better than Macbook but its not RM900 better, IMO. That's why I got the Macbook.

BTW, seems like hell for those who want to buy a Macbook Pro but at the same time waiting for the upgrade release. The Macbook Pro updates has been anticipated since like what, December?

sh1t... just spent 3k...

Your 3k is very well spent.. you'll never regret..

Time to head back to Mac!!! Productivity improvement begins!

hmm, what is the max ram i can upgrade for my mbp 15" ??
currently i have 4gb in the machine

Which model? There are easily 7 revision of MBP 15".

I am one of those waiting for the mbp refresh... i hate you apple. been waiting like mad since january

end-2009 models
lol i didn't know there's so many revision

MBP Mid 2009
2.66, 2.8 or 3.06GHz C2D
8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM is the maximum.

wei, how about end-2008 2.66 C2D model? What's the max RAM I can put in?

sigh, i realized that in order to upgrade to 8gb ram, i need to “throw” away the stock 2gb x 2 since there's only 2 slot

Late 2008,
8GB for 2.66 or 2.93GHz
6GB for 2.4, 2.53 or 2.8GHz
Apple say 4GB only.

1st gen MBP is on january 2006... u expect no revision?

2gbx2 u can sell, im sure a lot of ppl wanna buy, even more if ur 2gbx2 is the stock RAM. those with 1gbx2 hard to sell

I would buy your stock 2GBx2 if say the price is right

see?

Don't forget 4GB stick is ain't cheap. But it's cheaper already, used to be RM1k+

@siaukia, do pm me if you're interested in selling away your stock 2GBx2
The sooner the better, mate.

To all the Mac experts here, when can we expect the next batch of Macbooks and/or iMacs? I am seriously considering a Mac for personal use, and thinking of either Macbook or iMac. Was so close to doing an online order today, as its the last day for the Uni deal (free iPod Touch) here in Australia, but was convinced by both my brothers to wait for Apple to introduce Macs with Intels new i3, i5 and i7 processor.

It's not that I am impatient, but as far as I know, Apple tends to update their products every 6 months to a year, so it would be quite upsetting if I buy one, and they update it in the next 2-3 months. Cause in 2008, I waited and waited until it was time for me to leave to Australia already, and Apple hadn't announced any new Macs, so I thought I'd go for a cheap option and got myself a RM3,xxx Sony Vaio. That's why I don't know now if its worth waiting or to get it now. It's too late for me to get the Uni deal now I think, as they said that the offer ends on the 29th March.

So anyone know when we can expect new Macbooks and iMacs? Any response at all would be much appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, and rest assured that this isn't one of those "I want a Mac" topics that are opened for no reason. I am very serious about this purchase. So I hope the response is serious too. It's a big step for me, cause I have never used a Mac before.
