Is there any screen protecter for the MacBook?

I'm using Moshi iVisor AG. Which makes your screen anti-glare.

Perhaps an Incase Nylon Backpack at the Apple Online Store?


@th3_glove20,
You don't need any Anti-Virus stuff on a Mac.

My protection on my aluminum MacBook 13" >> Moshi Codex 13 White SE > Speck See-Thru Clear> Moshi iVisor 13AG> Moshi Clearguard > Moshi Palmguard > Moshi Shieldpad.

LOL protection kaw kaw. Don't know why I just love Moshi stuff. Very apple-ish and simple.

Come to think of it. RM219+RM138+RM180+RM110+RM120= RM757 respectively. Moshi Shieldpad comes free with the Codex. Damn I spend a lot. Some more add another RM550 for my Crumpler King Single. =Rm1307. rclxub.gif Haven't add the price of cases I got for my iPhone 3G and Apple Mouse and Keyboard. Both Wireless. thumbup.gif

Next target Sony Cybershot DSC-T900 !!

im a moshi fan as well haha. but y u get speck seethru AND codex? kind of redundant ;p n i never knew got codex white SE haha
that "original" uMB will be gone once it is covered with dents, stains and scratches
*
The Moshi Codex act as a just a sleeve for me. Yea, want to preserve the condition. Once, dents, stains and scratches are there. I'm sure I will be very upset. But, so far so good. Still new as ever. Moshi Codex was a gift from an uncle. So I don't mind having it on my collection since it is free. ( Some more SE mah) biggrin.gif

The only Moshi product I din't get is the Moshi Zefyr. Since, I'm using the mStand. No point buying something that doesn't work for me right? smile.gif

wow so nice ur uncle hehe. i wanted the codex before but then decided not to. its because the codex is too nice, later i worry if i put my laptop on a dirty table etc. spoil the codex ;p now juz using speck seethru...dirty table oso dun care..haha
*
Yea it's true. I take out the MacBook inside and put the Codex back into the backpack. Moreover, it is in white color. Get the black one if you are scare of dirty. Since you can't see dirt on it.

mmm jz a quick question. how many of u guys here using the hard shell or do you guys prefer to use the sleeve based like AppleSac? if use AppleSac, the aluminium body might get dented right? sorry ya, no experience in this before.
*
Use AppleSac make MacBook dent? Cannot be. Unless you bump the thing real hard into something. Use either one. If you are very OCD about it. I suggest both at the same time. Speck See-Thru Case and an Incase Sleeve perhaps? AppleSac can just fit a naked MacBook.

my mbp is late 08, so no issues?

how much is the SSD now, abit itchybawa as well
*
RM1030 for Intel-X25M Generation 2 80GB. Quite a steal I reckon. Since, Intel dropped the price on the recent release of SSD.
As in today, 1st Tier SSD is Intel Brand followed by OCZ SSD's. So, I think it's gonna be awesome. Can't wait.

are u using Moshi iVisor ?
*
I'm using it. So far so good. Though sometimes I do miss the glossy screen. If I want it back just peel it off and can be put back if want to.
Since, it is a removable and can be re-attached again and again. nod.gif

its a sound from harddisk, but so far it hasnt cost me anything..no data loss or lag or what so ever
so dont really bother..probably hitachi HD are designed to be like that
because my hitachi external HD makes the same sound when i move it around when running while seagate doesnt

Get a SSD. No spinning sound, no vibration and no annoying clicking sound. Best of all, stunning speeds. brows.gif

Is it in NTFS format? If it is, you need software like Paragon NTFS to write on your HDD on a Mac.

As long as your Mac has Paragon NTFS installed. It will perform normally as you plug in every external HDD.

Unfortunately it is not free, but do try it out the trial version.


If your HDD is in FAT32, any Mac's will be able to write on it but not in NTFS format. smile.gif
