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

kinda sounds like my case...already using moshi palm and trackpad protector..
i'll look for ur pics...but thx for ur opinion...really helps..
wud be placing my order soon..one BG n one IS...

Is there a shop we can buy IS in malaysia?

it's normal as long as above 90%

Hi Harmeet. Was actually advised by our mate, Han not to apply any of those wraps as it traps heat within the device. But of course, it's your call. Cheers.

we can order it online..
but i did see a couple of them at epi...

true enough boss, but wat i can figure, the heat is released from tiny holes under the keyboard...i may be wrong, but thats wat i learned..
besides, the shield will cover the same area covered by the case..
i'll read up on this issue more...
in the meantime, hope to hear more inputs frm all of us here...

for a 2 months old battery, it's normal

I normally won't debate on an issue when it is so logically clear which is correct but in this case, mine dropped to 92% after only 13 charge cycles and having it for 6 months; and I was given a new battery after claiming for it. If it is normal would Apple allow the replacement?

Further, in earlier posts, one forummer posted a screenshot showing his 18 months MBP with quite a number of charge cycles but the battery health is 96%. Afore-stated numbers are as per what I remember, give or take. Lastly a friend when he sold off his MBP after almost a year of usage and he is quite a heavy user, it was 96%.

So, how can a 2 month unit with a low charge cycle be normal with a 93% health rating? Are you saying that the battery giving way after slightly over 2 years of usage, arithmetically, if the trend persists, is normal???

What I am expounding is I comment with facts in hand, not just in passing.

Added on June 13, 2010, 1:35 amWhenever I use my MBP putting on my lap(after all it's a laptop), I can feel the heat oozing from the bottom at the back. So, this is something you should note. Anyway, it's always a good idea to read up more before making any decisive move.

Guys help, I had a mini display to VGA adapter, works perfectly on mac osx, but in Windows 7, I am only able to achieve resolution 800x600, by the way, I am connecting to a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV

aiyo. Im so struggling between mac and pc now.
either build a beasty pc or get 17" macbook pro.
I need some poison from you guys. cause now im form 4, after form 5 i'll be going to college.
dang!

I don't think you need a 17" in college, cause its heavy, a mbp 13" will be more than enough for a college student.

oh, forget to mention. This 17" I'll be use it until I start working. That time only I have money to change.

Get both a beasty PC for your gaming needs and MBP 13" for college...

If you're doing graphical stuff which requires a large resolution, then only you get a 17" MBP... or a 15" i7 to last you longer and share your beasty PC display with your MBP... simple....

its in ur best interest if u buy it when u r going for uni d..tat is if u can wait tat is la..
if u need it rite now, then now shud be a good time to get it aso...

whats the point getting it then? better get it ow and familiarize with it rather than facing problems when you have an assignment here

your siggy.

after SPM still have lot of time. 1-2 months enough?

@Xirality
Go for mobility. 15" i7 would be a best bet. 17" would be overkill on your shoulder later.
