oh ya one more question?
which is the digital in/out or optical in/out for audio?

i use moshi palmguard, it comes with trackpad protector.

Regardless what people say about not needing partitioning on macs, I have my home folder relocated to a dedicated partition. I like it this way. HFS+ filesystem isn't as good as you think.

Palmguard? MacBook Pro also can get stain easily ah?

Hi neekun, yes i use bootcamp. Your MBP model is same with mine? I think its the driver problem. How Parallels works anyway?
My colleauge using MB is ok, but my MBP has this problem. Both left and right channel is soft.
Btw, i install WindowsXP. Anyone with similar problem has the solution?

why need trackpad protector?
dont you think this kind of stuff is too much over?
it will definitely bring downs the sensitivity
to be honest, i dont see any point on this product

it feel not, but technically it does
apple spent time to tweak the surface of the trackpad to get the best gesture
(watch the unibody macbook vid)

technically, adding another layer thing on a surface definitely make different on the sensitivity.

adding this so call protector layer doesn't you dont ever have to clean the surface again.

the important things are it doesnt render the trackpad useless and the trackpad feels the same so anyone who is interested to put protector can go ahead without worries.

Anyone experience issue with waking up the latest MBP from sleep? It happened twice to mine recently. I close the lid as usual to put it to sleep. After a couple of hours when I open the lid, the screen is blank (as if it's not swithed on) but I can feel the hard disk is still spinning quietly.

sounds like a ram problem. did you upgrade the ram yourself?

No, I didn't. Everthing is as it is. MBP 13.3, 3 months old.

Need some help here guys...

When I press the "AirPort" on top and choose "Open Network Preferences", nothing comes out. Only saw the "Finder" on top changed to "System Preferences"

Same goes to "Change Desktop Background". At first, there are pictures for me to select, but after few times changing, when I press "Change Desktop Background", only saw "Finder" changed to "System Preferences"....

of course technically it does, but what matters is how do we feel about it. the lower sensitivity is very minor and u wont even realise it. the difference is the texture...less smooth but more grip. which i unexpectedly like however im talking abt the moshi trackguard here, not sure with other brands.

i love my macbook pro original look and feel so i want it to be that way as long as possible. from my past i reckon im the kind of person who accidentally scratch a notebook a lot, so this time i wanna prepare b4 anything bad happen.

used before, one fren macbook white
dont like the surface. It become like hp/compaq computer trackpad

Hi all, i hope i am asking this in the correct section.

I am thinking about getting MS Office 2008 (as it is the only one widely available in the market now) for my mac. My question is that because i am working mostly on MS Office 2003 formats for work on my Windows work laptop, will compatibility be an issue? Will the formatting of the file run? How about for excel and powerpoints?

I appreciate any feedbacks from all of you. Thanks in advance.

not sure how much i can answer this... but most MS Office products r backward compatible. as long as u don save it in the latest format which, if not wrong, should be those docx format (for word). otherwise, it shld b the same.

and it terms of format, u shld check out the review of MS Office 2008. Apple's online store has some reviews...and people only give it 3 or 3.5 out of 5. IWork09 has 4 out of 5. u can also check out amazon reviews.

Mac os or XP mode?

I still figuring how to make my machine wake up in XP mode without Restart the XP after few hours of Idle.

I had set Hibernate. But not sure issit the right way to do it. I am guessing is the Overheat in XP make the machine auto-shut down for protection.

I want my XP to be fast awake from sleep/standby mode like in Mac OS X.

one thing have to be remembered is that macos is tailor made for mac hardwares and fully functions best together

windows are designed to run on different types of system/hardwares and it works correctly/best with properly supported devices/drivers.

to expect windows to work like macos in a mac hardware is... what should i put it as.. umm.. (put ur term here)

i believe i read somewhere.. battery life on macos is much better than in windows when running in macbook
