QUOTE(tabs @ Jun 4 2010, 11:56 PM) hmm now us doing some promotion when u buy macbook free ipod touch.. wondering when malaysia got this promotion.. lol not only US, singapore also got. QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jun 4 2010, 11:56 PM) maybe they have a long service related que, what about VR Tech or Sapura? these are purely service centers mayb the few days is they need to send to apple store and let them check then only they change for u..not change immediately.

QUOTE(keepme88 @ Jun 11 2010, 10:47 PM) mine 2months,32cycles..95%..seems like got prob as well.. QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jun 12 2010, 12:05 AM) -7 in 2 months? that is really weird, how old is your mac, and how come you max your cycle count to 24? Do you charge it during 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%? my recommendation is 15% and below. Again this is also ikut ur usage lah, see how you take care of it, just for comparison sake take a look at mine. mine 2 months,32cycles..i usually charged it at 6%..btw, ur batt capacity is low..50**..how come ar?

QUOTE(Voxe @ Jul 5 2010, 06:00 PM) After using my White Unibody Macbook for 3 months, here's a few unsatisfactory things I feel about it. 1. Despite the trackpad's multitouch awesomeness, it hinders typing on the keyboard because my hands tend to glide over it causing it to register a tap. This is because of its large size. 2. The battery does not last as it is advertised. Mine was advertised for a full 7 hours but this is nearly impossible to get unless you just run a browser only with lights dimmed until the lowest. Normal usage with usable lighting will last 4 hours tops. 3. Design flaw in the screen frame scratches the laptop frame surrounding the keyboard. When the Macbook is closed, the screen frame touches the frame around the keyboard and trackpad. I can see a perfect scratch line on the keyboard frame, mirroring my screen frame. 4. Bootcamp drivers are not well made. The brightness control at the dimmest for Windows is still brighter than the dimmest on OSX. Very limited settings for Windows too. ya..but everyone shud know that the 10hours claimed for MBP is actually 5/6hours? mine is around 4hours.. u wan 10 hours u need to set the brightness to the lowest,off bluetooth..with a browser only. sigh..

QUOTE(more2teayap @ Jul 25 2010, 10:03 PM) yeah... after 100% it will stop charging, then it will slowly drop till 95% then charge back... SMC settings? maybe lets say if i plug in over night,it remains at 100% but it will auto cut off one right? QUOTE(Ryoga @ Jul 25 2010, 10:58 PM) not mine. found on google. mine 4 months 9 cycle  4months 9cycles? seriously how is counted as 1 cycle? why u all so less one? mine 3months 100+cycles?
