Since the new line of MBPs have the same size and shape with the old one, I guess it could still fit in the old adapter just watch out for the voltage I guess.. If no difference then shouldnt be a problem switching..

@izact Apparently there isnt a step by step guide after unboxing your macbook but the first thing you should do is to do battery calibration for your first time charge then you could go install all those softwares that you need... You can look through the pinned threads or read previous pages from this thread for battery calibration not too many pages backwards =D

@linuxskate Why do you think your logic board is dead? What verion is your MBP?

Maybe try installing coconut battery and share a screenshot of it here... with that info it will be much clearer for us to compare...

Never really tried to test the temperature... ANy software to recommend for temperature monitoring? does iStat monitor temperature?

LOL I think your maggie mee cook already also the stream not yet finish... and maybe your leg also gone d by that time..

Dont eat so much later your hair all drop... BTW what software you guys using to monitor the tempt? iStat can?

Im thinking of getting the orochi but I will use my microsoft x6 keyboard as an external...

Maybe a little bit too much on your internet browsers with so many tabs and photoshop... ALl those are memory and processor hungry right? Need other senior members to clarify.. If for normal desktop not mac, definitely will start to see some slowdown with those applications used..

I dont shut down my mac unless im sleeping at night =D

Why not? Your mamba and tarantula should be compatible with mac right? I know mamba is but not sure about tarantula though... Im using my deathadder and my microsoft x6 =D

I dont feel anything wrong going for the i7 17"... Should be happy if you could afford the highest end of the MBP line =D Ppl like me would definitely get it if I have the budget..

I dont think it can get till that hot till it will burn you or cause injuries... Its Apple and so far I never read any heat issues for the new MBPs... Im sure it will be a good buy as many people wants to own a 17" i7 MBP man...

Haha.. I couldnt spot them.... Damn those guys in overseas.... So cheap for them to get an macbook pro... Luckily I got one too and going to use it my lectures in my Australian uni... =D

Haha.. No one wants to claim warranty if possible.. =) But all electronic gagdets are not perfect and maybe some are a little bit defected units after some time but definitely a small percentage as QC definitely is strict and wouldnt allow defected unit to pass through shipping..

Haha if you can afford the XPS 16 Im sure you can afford a MBP =) Not to mention about your death adder, mousepad, your logitech keyboard, sidewinder mouse etc all adding up could get you at least almost a Mac Pro LOL.... Just sell them off and definitely you can get one =)

Haha.... Same as part of my reason to purchase a macbook =)... So hopefully you can be a mac user soon

@kernkraft400 If im not mistaken there are no cosmetic difference other than the magnetic adapter for the power supply... As I bought the casing from speck fits the old and the new one...

@izact So far i know only those who runs bootcamp will want to have a partition... Im also not that sure.. Need seniors to give some feedback =)

What did you did to your mac? Modification? =)

Most probably I will only have 2 partitions, 1 for Mac OSX and another for my Windows 7... Should be more than enough.. I will then backup my files in my external HDD =D

Yea its not DHL's fault... Normally ppl delay will be delayed at the clearance area (custom).... But which date that Apple promise you that it will arrive? Cause mine arrive as what the date given by apple.

I think most clearance will be cleared within 3 days max iinm.... So shouldnt worry too much or maybe like you said its in bulk as more and more ppl are ordering =)... Have to be a little more patient... It pays off really
