^ no you don't. the one in pavillion is Epicentre

i believe so. but it's always best to bring ur mac there n let them see the condition

y dont u try to sell it?

im using CleanApp, works fine all these while for me. but then im using v1.6 (got it free from a magazine before) so im not sure how does the current v3.3.5 fares against cleanmymac n appzapper. $15. from screenshots it looks like it has less features than cleanmymac but better than appzapper


maybe u want to wait for the seagate momentus XT: http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?loca...0001a48090aRCRD of course dunno what's the price gonna be like

a 500gb 5400rpm drive is reportedly faster than a 320gb 7200rpm tough. more empty space = faster seeking. maybe u can look for hitachi travelstar 7k500. but then 5400rpm to 7200rpm isn't that much of an improvement actually

currently if u want really good performance, SSD is still the way to go. for 1k u can get an intel x25-m 80gb (~rm825), then probably a 320gb external 2.5" or maybe a 500gb external 3.5" if u can find one

personally i'd wait until SSDs are maybe rm2-3 per gb

it's good that u can feel the heat. meaning the aluminium body is doing it's job in dissipating the heat. u dont want the heat to collect inside ur MBP

let me ask u back. does ur mbp crash or hang easily? if no, then no problem lah. simple . juz dun do something stupid like blocking the vents etc.

probably later, but maybe next year i guess. the MBP 13" size cannot fit a dedicated GPU, but if Apple choose to go for i3, i5 or i7, then they have to use Intel HD graphics, which is much worse than the 320M.

the 2.4 and 2.66 c2d is a midrange c2d processor, should beat i3 anytime

i dun care if the next update still dont have i3, but a 3.06 c2d instead! ;p

u need to find a new computer friend yes the i3 is better than core2duo in the same price ratio, but lowest i3 tapau a highend C2D? no way mate

on the other hand, even older nvidia GPU can tapau any intel graphics, in any range

the MBP 13 screen is just as glossy as the 15. unless you're comparing with the 15" anti-glare screen

what did u have to install?

how did u get the momentum scrolling in the 1st place?

oh i see, i thought the momentum scrolling only works with the trackpad ;p

wah, 3 cycles in 43 months?

not only in KL... probably whole malaysia

ooo no wonder lar hehehe. they should state the age of battery instead of age of mac

im using IS. didnt really notice the yellowish thing until i took a photo a while back... either this thread or the casing thread i forgot i didnt use it on my palmrest n protector though, since im already using moshi palmguard n trackguard (better surface texture anyway)

IS does it job well. no scratches. my gf is using the speck, got a few scratches already even though the cleaned it pretty often. good thing about speck is that it protects the edges as well. but i dont like the bulk

juz my opinion anyway. speck vs IS/BG is a neverending debate

Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz... vs i5 2.4 Ghz..

can say like comparing 1.8L proton engine vs 1.8L turbocharged honda vtec engine. both also 1.8L, but one is much better

also, the i5 2.4Ghz can actually go up to 2.93 Ghz

another difference between the size is the graphics processors. the 13" got 320M which is not that fast but pretty decent. the 15" has intel HD, which is very slow compared to the 320M...but the 15" got another GPU, the 330M, which is around double the speed of the 320M

if you're comparing between those two models, maybe u can share with us what are you going to do with ur notebook. that way we can give u a better recommendation

seems like you game a lot. i think it's better for u to go for the 15" so u can have the 330M. im guessing the 320M can run those games but u'll likely need to settle for low graphic settings. not fun la like that ;p

get the MBP 15", n buy a good mouse if u havent got one

hm i just want some clarification here...

this calibration thing only makes the 'battery info detector' (or whatever it's called haha) show u more accurate info about the battery right?

does it actually improve the battery lifetime?

that's because you only read the battery calibration page, not the macbook pro page. it's not that u didnt read between the lines, you're on the wrong page!



http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/battery/

i get it, most notebooks have removable batteries so yes, it's not wrong to expect the MBP has removable batteries as well. but really, anyone buying a certain gadget, particularly something that's expensive as a laptop, would've at least read through the spec sheet even if u dont understand 90% of it. but im sure "built-in battery" isnt that hard to swallow

EDIT: oh so u really didnt know what built-in battery is. haha. okay, built-in simply means the battery isn't meant to be removed/replaced by the customer. any notebook has a built-in screen, built-in keyboard, wi-fi antenna, speakers, you name it. it's the parts that is integrated to the product.

most apple products have built-in batteries like the macbooks, ipods and iphones.

mostly people juz compare the 3D Mark 06 scores. 6465 for GT 330M and 4496 for 320M. so the GT 330M is ~50% faster

u can compare yourself

wait what? if i buy an adaptor today, it'll be under my MBP ACCP until it ends?

i know about time capsule, airport etc but i didnt know it covers chargers as well thx!

as others have mentioned, it's better that u let us know what are you going to do with it. if it's for video editing than definitely go for the 15" due to the faster speed and bigger screen. Final cut does not come free though. here are the prices: http://store.apple.com/my/search?find=fina...mco=MTA4MTkyMjY

what WILL come free though is iMovie. u should play around with it first, it's pretty good. at least it should be a decent alternative until you can get a copy of final cut

extra stuff, how much extra budget are we talking about here?

did it freeze like that, or u can still use ur mac? looks like it got stuck during the transition from the blue screen to ur normal desktop

if its charge... then juz charge until full lar. if its health, dun worry abt it. 97% is normal. if u wanna make it 100% then u need to find a way to defy physics

that's because of malaysian power sockets just use the extended three-pin plug cable (the long one). shud be fine.

actually calibrating doesnt improve the battery at all, there's nothing u can do to do that. it's an irreversible process, just like how u cannot increase the fuel in ur car no matter what u do, apart from filling up.

calibration just lets the computer to have more accurate data about ur battery. it involves going from full charge to no charge at all so ur computer can recognize how much is 100% charge and how much is 0% charge. actual battery health will always decrease if u use it
