i'm looking forward to purchase a new 15" mbp soon, you think it's a good time? should i wait? and on the other hand, what shop do you guys recommend for my purchase?

my first purchase on my mb is at the shop @ ikano, since during that time i still remember whole msia out of stock during cny hahaha

honestly no1 could answer this as it depends solely on you,its your money plus also how eager you wanna get it. Shops wise there is the online store and makor resellers like epic,machines,maccity,macstudio and switch.

With the i7 processors already out on some machines, its really hard to tell when the MBPs would be updated. If I was in the market to buy one now, I would probably wait.

But then again, by the time the MBPs have i7 processors, the unibody MBPs would be "mid-cycle" and then you think you might wanna wait for the next major update. So its really up to you!

Waiting game is never ends, just purchase it before you seriously need it. I think i purchased my mbp few days before SL released, but i just dont mind about it because i need it.

well thanks but it certainly would be fking frustrating if the update is more than software based, if its software based then we can easily change it, but if it's like hardware jump.... power pc --> intel this 1 i think sure throw the mb from 9th floor

come one, this design will then stay for another 2 years+
Apple never fancy to change great machine design

wait for icore 7 update is recommended, should happen in short. Wait for another redesign, then you will never buy any shit.

well, i never fancy the design since i have always preferred the older titanium-ish look.
but well looking at this, i can hold off until early of nov to see if there is any refresh on the mbp line.

But of course, there's been a heavy speculation on refresh for mb, new look?

that is not an indicator for MBP,plus the new MBPs were just released last july? thats about 3 month++,it wont be that soon. Just be patientlah if you feel like waiting, with computer equipments changing on a frequent basis,what you have now would be considered outdated come nect month. Plus isnt dell changing specs every other week? how come no one complain about that? Its good enough that apple's product cycle for portables is roughly about 5-6months.

make me laugh! new look mean another new production line, apple may lost alot money from there

well that's pretty cool discussion we had here, it'll be either this week or 2 week later i'll get it then

though i'm still pretty skeptical about the corei7

damn

well there is always a chance of a new line of apple computers coming out anytime soon, whether its design wise or modification internally. but either way the update of the new line, doubt apple will lose out in terms of profit. not saying that their stuff is expensive, just that, it might all b a marketing plan. just look at the nano. call it gimmick, apple ppl call it marketing.
but either way, i will b waiting eagerly. apple never fails to surprise me.

hello..I just got my MBP 13 inch and am loving it.
However, I am just wondering, when I'm just using it at home, is it advisable to keep the power plugged in all the time or do I use battery power instead?

based on what i've read from the apple site, i think plug in all the time is better

it doesnt really matter. bcos unlike other laptops, the ac doesnt go straight to the battery when its plugged in.

is the folder with question mark at bootup common with mbp? my mbp now needs a new hdd. D= . 3 weeks + old mbp.. hope once its changed , this thing won't happen again

if you study production management before, product life cycle is never been so short.

Just asking, which is best for connect with external monitor? Hope color not much different with Macbook.

Ultrasharp 2408WFP or Acer H233H?

I think should be depend on which panel they use for the display..

IT simply means that "EFI" can't find a bootable OSX partition. Thats why you see a ? logo. It happens if your HDD is dead , you've formatted OSX , etc

Its related to HDD by the way , you can still boot to another windows partition or osx partition on a USB stick or drive

Dell using S-IPS?

Feel my screen macbook small when doing some editing...
