 This is the 5th Version of the MacBook/MacBook Pro/Air Thread. I hope you macbook users can get along and share the joy of your MacBook. New rules as FYIRE set last thread: 1. DO NOT SPAM When I say do not spam. It means do not post useless '1 sen' posts such as 'Apple s**** , too expensive .. without being constructive. You can say Apple Sucks but please do provide your reason. For example CODE I think MacBook Pro is overpriced. This is because I could get a laptop with a similar specification for half the price. On top of that , there are some heat-releated issues that Apple should solve with their MacBook Pro series. Overall for me , I don't think its worth it. Its just my thought 2. BE POLITE Please respect other members here and don't just start to flame. We should be thankful that the Administrators for giving this marvellous place I hope you enjoy your new MacBook/MacBook Pro/Air Thread v4: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1102183enjoy Apple store online: http://store.apple.com/myApple education store online: http://store.apple.com/my-k12since last topic reach more than 2500 posts.. i created this topic while waiting for my first ever MBP.. if this is not a right way.. just delete it fyire This post has been edited by mememe12: Apr 15 2010, 10:30 AM

Since the MBP is still in the hot topic now, I would like to ask if any of you get the ACPP along with the MBP .. there is a thread on ACPP but nobody answer my question. There are ppl who're selling ACPP for a discount in trade forum and I'm worry with the news about generated and fake ACPP .. so, should I get it from Apple or should I gamble and get it from these discounted ACPP .. will we get a box version of ACPP from these guys?

Added on April 15, 2010, 12:03 pmThanks for the input on ACPP, I guess I'll just go ahead getting it directly from the AppleStore. The news on fake ACPP really made me nervous .. Apple will say, as long as the code is valid, then shouldn't be a problem .. but if there is a conflict, someone claiming the same code and we don't have the serial number and proof of purchase .. then poof .. waste the RM .. ACPP for MBP is a bit over RM1K. This post has been edited by wiraone: Apr 15 2010, 12:03 PM
