I need a favour from those MBP 15" unibody (built in non removable battery with dual graphic card) users.

Please set ENERGY SAVER (in SETTINGS) to HIGHER PERFORMANCE. Run on battery. Do a screen grab by pressing SHIFT + COMMAND + 3. Please let me know if you noticed any lag or system freeze after the screen grab shortcut key is press.

Thanks a bunch!!

MBP 15" mid 2009 user here, I did a lil experiment on your situation. Yes, I did encounter a 2-3sec lag after performing the preen screen. Guys, any idea why this is happening?  rclxub.gif

Mine late 2008, and it's a minute lag. And it even random freezes while i am on HIGHER PERFORMANCE (9600 graphic card).

I just did a fresh install and will be monitoring this closely. If it random freezes again I will be updating AppleCare. From what they told me, the screen capture lag happens to all MBP with dual graphic card, however i guess yours 2 or 3 seconds is much better than mine.

Can u PM me your serial number? I would like to pass that to AppleCare for their investigation.

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?

Parallels so far so good..i used to run windows 7 in it. But now i format my Mac and not really installing Parallels...waiting for my Snow Leopard smile.gif

If you are on Leopard or Snow Leopard..instead of opening in Preview..hit SPACEBAR to view in QUICKLOOK and you can swap left and right to navigate on the multi touch trackpad smile.gif

hi guys, i planned to get this new macbook white. do you think it's essential to get ACPP? It costs another rm850++ which is almost a quarter price of this macbook. how durable is macbook that the ACPP is so expensive that it leaves the impression that it needs a lot of repair? for normal notebook, lifespan would easily go more than 2 years. how about macbook (including normal and pro) ? or is it a machine that breaks down so often? what is the common problems for macbook?

My previous MBP (with AppleCare) claimed for under performance battery.

My current unibody MBP, in which I insisted the issue (system freeze) with AppleCare claimed for logic board replacement. Eventually, the problem is solved with Snow Leopard.

Up to you to get ACPP or not. For me buying ACPP is buying myself peace of mind smile.gif

i just got a brand new macbook 2 days ago and immediately noticed that there was something funky about airport. i have a WEP-secured home wireless network. my wifi router is a netgear wgr614v5 and it is hooked up to my adsl modem. i have an imac (running snow leopard) which is connected to the router via the ethernet card. i have a 4 year old ibook hooked up to this network wirelessly running leopard. this laptop is not on most of the time. intermittently i will hook into this wireless network with my iphone and ipod touch.

everything was fine until i tried connecting my new macbook. it dropped wifi signal a few times during the 1st few hours of use. this was very disconcerting to say the least. initially i thought it was the position i was in and had something to do with distance. when i moved out of a 5 meter radius i could not connect to the internet at all. however when i moved closer it could pick up the signals.

after more testing i realised that it was dropping signals regardless of where i was especially after closing the lid and allowing the laptop to go to sleep. when the lid is reopened it takes about 5-10 seconds to reconnect and sometimes it just sits there until i turn airport off and then on again.

i have currently assigned it a fixed ip address to see whether it will stabilise. the reasoning behind is that i have noticed that i do not get connected if the automatically assigned ip goes beyond 192.168.1.5.

one more thing is that i see that airport is constantly searching for network even after it has established a stable connection with my home network. is this normal?

Have you tried updating to 10.6.2?

i jus bought the magic mouse in MTCS group shop. I just discovered last night they charge RM50 more than other Mac shops. I thought Apple products are fixed. Can I get back my RM50? Can I complain to Apple Malaysia. Please advice. Tq

The price should be RM229 for all shops. If they charge higher than that please make a complain to Apple Malaysia.

I am using Aperture 3 for some simple photo editing, so far ok. No slow or lagging.

Yup, RAM is important. Max is out if you can afford smile.gif
