care to elaborate?

u too hehe...can explain what kind of lag? bcuz of heavy apps...always hang...?

anyway i remember some1 searching for the Apple USB Modem in this forum..cant find who in which thread. I saw it at a local apple reseller here they're selling it for RM199. i can help if u want. if u are reading this lah. haha

the modem thing is about some1 else ;p

launch Activity Monitor to see if there are any apps using too much CPU cycles n memory. pay attention to the CPU (those are in percentages...max is 200%) and RSIZE. at the bottom, pay attention to CPU n system memory. try to let Activity Monitor run when u're using ur mac...whenever u experience the lag, check for any 'spikes' in AM indicating any apps are using too much CPU or memory

what do u think that makes u lag? is it only when u're watching videos, etc...?

if images shouldnt be a problem... as i said, the objective way is to look at the numbers in activity monitors...

lagging only during surfing is it?

yeah...why 1.75gb? this is a macbook right?

it should give back. i have 2 VM both allocated 256mb...i still have 2gb total.

maybe cuz its 1.75gb then cannot support double channel, causing the lag? possible? any pro can comment?

NO! unless u can sell ur uMB full price ok la. lets say u sell rm3k... so have to topup 1.5k to get the 13" MBP...so not worth it bro. juz play with what u have now. if wanna upgrade, as others mentioned, wait for refresh later. although i too doubt the i5 will show up in the 13". anyway if u wanna upgrade, go for a 15" with dedicated GPU, u'll feel a big difference.

alternatively u can juz spec up ur current macbook. get 4GB of RAM and a good SSD.

oooo no wonder i still see 2gb when using 9400M. haha

i lagi malu... 6 star kalah with 1 star ;p

cool!

if juz because of the graphic...i think no. the GMA950 is absolutely useless for intensive 3d, n while the 9400M is much better, its kinda borderline usable. i.e. u can play games on it in minimum quality but sometimes still lag. u probably wont notice the difference.

however i think its a worthwhile upgrade as a whole. the screen is much better, also the battery lasts longer (if u havent replace ur battery, i think u cant get more than 2 hours from ur macbook am i right?).

mostly juz change ctrl to cmd hehehe. welcome to the club!

got any freebies?

and slightly smaller HDD ;p

long term aluminium looks better...white easy to get dirty

ACPP for macbook and 13" MBP is the same. the bigger ones are more expensive

its hotter cuz aluminium conducts heat better than plastic. which is better than letting the heat trapped inside . both are very solid machines, u'll be satisfied either way hehe. dont let the seller sway u though..sometimes they can give u wrong info

the reason spotlight is very good is because of indexing (as in the screenshot). to put it simply, is abt OSX learning what is where on ur hard disk. let it complete...dun turn off ur mac. it's just a one-time operation

anyway i never realised got dot in the middle during indexing you've got an eye for detail there bro

nevermind, other makers still far behind . got one MSI notebook very thin n design like macbook air, but the build quality is very bad...feel like can break anytime

talking about ixus... my first digital camera was an ixus... it was rm900-1000 and had 2 MEGAPIXELS! ;p

smaller HDD that fails fully laden with data also same thing right ;p

u can find ur answer in this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/979861

no prob. all of us 'converts' here had a hard first week or two with our 1st macs hehe. u'll do fine

i agree with cRazYee...of all brands i think HP has the worse trackpad surface

DotA can run fine. Doom 3 i managed to run at ultra quality in parallels desktop 3 before on my previous MBP (with radeon x1600...i think abt the same performance as the 9400m or slightly faster) so no problem at all in bootcamp

red alert 3 is playable but have to tone down the graphics a bit

9400M can handle both photoshop n illustrator, no worries

wait till u try to use a fat USB drive haha
