been using mbp for a couple of days now, 160gb surely is not enough. arghhhhhh.... and 2gb ram is still a little laggy seeing the thing boink boink boink on the dock and still boink and never comes up.

how much you have filled up in the HDD,is it running out of space already? means its starting to lose virtual memory space too.

hey has anyone bought from this web before? http://www.journeyofstars.com ? doesnt sound ligit to me.. D:

Yea, I used up almost 120GB already. Virtual memory also kinda erm... laggy.
I want to upgrade but quite out of budget now. need to protect & upgrade

Luckily for MBP, RAM and HDD upgrades are the most easiest hardware components that u can change ur self ... so if u have the budget, why not upgrade to KVR RAMs and some WD 500GB HDD???

Some one please help, i heard people say need Disc 1&2 just can install windows .
Need someone to guide me!!

why want to wipe on of the best OS? use OS X la

if use OS X ! now quite laggy! if want to reformat OS X how le?

Erm, what is KVR RAM ? I am planning to get 500GB or 1TB if MBP 13" support it.
How many GB RAM is supported and made use of - maximum ? I need the speed.

Guys, I on my mbp almost 24/7 wherever I go, do I put on the AC Adapter at all time ? Or which is the ideal way to maintain the survival of the batt life.

Thanks !

KVR stands for Kingston Value Ram. is there 1TB notebook HDD currently?i tot only until 500gb only rite now leh..btw, yes u can proceed changing ur hdd.no problem at all, ATM i think u can go for 4GB RAM. if you're going to keep the battery life cycle low, don't attach the battery lah. But i think just let it be. in case of power failure, u won't be losing ur file suddenly. that's more important maa...

Dewd ... dem new MBPs does not come with removable batteries ... currently on the Apple laptop series, only teh normal Macbook White have those ... I did read a lot from fellow forumers that the electricity will be cut off from the battery once the charge reaches 100%. If u continue to use AC adapter afterwards, it will be running on AC directly. Hope this helps.

Added on September 11, 2009, 6:01 amMaximum RAM u can go on the new MBPs is 8GB, but 4GB should be sufficient for running SL with 5 -8 apps opened simultaneously. And besides, to upgrade to a max. of 8GB of DDR3 laptop RAMs will cause a fortune since 1 X 4GB is already freakin expensive ... might want to wait for the price for that one to drop down first lah ... As for the HDD, right now the maximum size is 500GB for 2.5" version. Price is roughly around Rm270-Rm300 depending on brand. Personally I would recommend u to go for WD or Maxtor HDDs.

P/S : Apparently I was mistaken by the HDD size ... as I browsed thru Western Digital's site ... I saw that they have already released a 1TB Scorpio Blue HDD 2.5" version (which I highly doubt its going to be anything but cheap). Read more here :

Was wondering does Bootcamp support Windows 7 yet?

i think your lag is caused by ur hard disk. any hard disk tends to slow down when almost full. RAM doesnt affect much on the 'boink boink' on the dock (unless u're talking abt launching an application the 2nd time, bcuz it's cached to RAM). the boink boink is normally the HDD looking for data of the app. i'd also recommend a 500gb WD scorpio blue or hitachi 5k500

of course, if u have the money, nothing wrong to upgrade ur RAM. but the performance increase for 8gb from 4gb is too little for what u're paying (more than double).

What is the range of temperature of a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard installed?
I feel like it is a little too hot for comfort.

My sensor of Smart Disk Fujitsu smtg smtg... sometimes reached 40C while CPU A Temperature Diode could reach 75C!


By the way, is it good to have plug in electricity supply when the battery is fully charged? of should i run the Mac using battery only after it is fully charged?

yes it does already,some people have been installing it since leopard.

just asking a noob question how to i format my mac?

Your link is too good to be true! Don't buy! Should be a froud
