don't think so.. aih.. i need some experienced macbook air owner over here ><!! stringfellow where u! hehe

im starting to wonder if it's safari's problem or snow leopard.. haha

it states there Macbook not the MBP.Plus its roughly 3months and 8 days since the launch of new MBPs.

Will upload the photo later. I got from msdn, our school provides all legal copy of windows OS 32 & 64 bit

hi can I ask some advice on macbook white and macbook pro? I'm planning to get my first mac next week. I was aiming for the 13' Macbook pro but the macbook white is quite tempting. What's the advantages that the macbook white has over the macbook pro? Does polycarbonate body get discolored very fast?

other than faster processor / aluminum unibody / backlit keyboard.. i guess that's it for abt additional RM800

but i read there will be a refresh or imac and macbook white in the coming weeks and its going to be cheaper.. y dun u wait and see first?

kinda need a new laptop urgently and my budget is around RM5000. I want something that can last for a long time...

finally gotten my first mac after so much hesitation! <3

one hour only and i'm already loving it, zero regrets man!

With better display and better trackpad as well.

You called?

I've neither problems or complaints about mine, and just went up to SL as well. And I impose the same abuse and torture to the MBA through the same thing I did to my Mini, video encoding on-the-fly, photo-editing and occasional home movie edits while I'm away from home.

My SL was "installed over", and not from a clean install FYI. I'm still witholding installing SL on my Mini, as that is my workhorse/home media server/primary everything, so the MBA is the guinea pig. But as porkish as it is, the MBA passed with flying colours.

Just slip me a PM if you need me further. I'm trying to get away from this forum as much as I can.

today was reading macrumour, got this new chip coming out during 4th quarter

maybe imac gonna use it? hence an all new model?

hi guys, just got my casing today, here's my review and pics. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1005083/+60

Probably cause by you SSD, could be a mlc type which is slower than hard drive

Are you using one with the SSD? Contrary to crazyee's comment, modern well designed MLC drives are much faster than mechanical hard drives. The symptoms you mentioned sounds like MLC SSD drives using the JMicron controller which fares badly in average latency and random read/write. However, I highly doubt Apple would put such drives in and they normally stick to the main vendors with samsung controllers. To get an idea of what I'm talking about check this article: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531&p=1
If you are not using the SSD, ignore the above.
Have you tried calling apple?

Added on September 17, 2009, 9:56 pmMy friend's macbook white got quite a bit discoloured. But then she doesn't care for it very well. If you take care of it well clean it regularly you should be able to keep it in pristine condition.

Here's the differences as far as I can remember. The Pro has:
-Multi-touch trackpad
-Longer battery life
-Backlit keyboard
-Better display
-Aluminium unibody
-Firewire 800 (macbook has firewire 400)
-DDR3 1066MHz RAM (macbook has DDR2 800MHz i think)
-SD Card reader but combined the Headphone out and Mic/Line In into one port (can switch between either or use a 4 pin jack to use both).

i might add its more sturdy,lighter and slimmer.

yes new age one are fast like intel x25 etc
but factory shipped SSD is not as great as you think. Those really fast SSd cost alot more, so fast samsung one is not high performance type. If apple really ship intel x-25 or ocz brand, the price wont be so cheap

As far as I know the SSD's Apple uses are based on Samsung chips and controllers and no they don't make crap. Decent MLC SSD's have been around for a year already and are constantly improving.
Samsung's current MLC SSD's are really not bad at all and holds it's own against the Intel X-25M especially in price vs performance. Btw, OCZ's latest MLC SSD's (Vertex, Agility) are using the Samsung controllers. So tell me what's not high performance about it? On the other hand, OCZ doesn't actually manufacture the SSD's but instead tests/researches and specifies what they need to the manufacturer; so they are considered a small fry in Apple's eyes.

Anyone with the new mbp (mid 2009) upgraded their hdisk to SSDs? Apparently, apple screwed up real badly with their sata2 interface that a LOT of ppl have been complaining about getting beach balls and the whole system would lock up for like 2 minutes when they use 3rd party sata2 drives with mbp mid 2009 with EFI 1.7..

Hm.... It's been a while I hand apple shipped ssd MacBook air. Should get myself update!
Maybe it's to throw in some cash on SSd, see how it perform on my mac

Yea, I'm buying an INTEL X-25M 80GB for mine soon. Can't wait. Using a MacBook 2.4Ghz model. No complaints about it. Thank god not using MacBook Pro mid models one regarding about EFI 1.7.

my mbp is late 08, so no issues?

how much is the SSD now, abit itchybawa as well
