Are you sure they won't swap a new one?

Today I went back to the place where I purchased it and they allow me to swap 1 more time

Lucky again?
Yeah. They allow me to swap but I don't want. Therefore I choose refund.

Don't want to cause them any trouble anymore, plus my 7 days for returning a faulty MacBook Pro is going to end soon, don't want to take the risk again

May I know where did you get the faulty mb? I don't want to go there, maybe they only have dead pixels mb...

Perhaps an Incase Nylon Backpack at the Apple Online Store?
@th3_glove20,
You don't need any Anti-Virus stuff on a Mac.

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 smile.gif

red alert 3 is playable but have to tone down the graphics a bit
*
if uols don't mind, i wanna ask, how about graphic software like adobe photoshop or illustrator? Any problem running those type of programs?

I would get the base line MBP. Since you don't really need the faster processor, you'll be better off saving the RM1100 and doing some upgrades yourself.

RAM and HDD is user replaceable. You should configure your Mac with 4GB of RAM (additional RM359) from the Apple store since buying outside would cost almost the same. The HDD is really expensive from the online store, hence you should replace this yourself. Lowyat sells the 500GB drive for RM270.

2.26Ghz + 4gb + 500gb = RM5138

You'll save about RM500.

Excellent advice. I am getting one soon. Appreciate it. smile.gif
