What's with the hard case? I thought the metal enclosure is sufficient to protect it from any damages? And wouldn't it make the macbook look bulky just like cell phones in those plastic cases? Am now considering Bodyguardz.

The case protects the MacBook from knocks n scratches. Bodyguardz will make ur MacBook scratch free but it also transform it into Kinda glossy, attracts fingerprints n smudges.

im only using mbp 13 (new spec). i know i shouldnt expected the quality would be better as HD LCD/LED watsoever. just curious and if it has the quality as to my flatscreen tv..that is just nice and adequate. Not really expecting it would better than HD. My request is if someone knows a codec or two for the video quality then it would be helpful. that's all.. tq

omg my MBP will arrive in 2 days time..so exciting..but i have a question..i have tons of songs in my windows desktop..and i have a WD hardisk..but as i know its format is NFTS..can i just like transfer the song over and put in my mac? or else what can i do?

I just use a network cable (RJ-45) connect my pc and mac, share my music folder at pc. At mac, click on "connect to server" and type "smb://yourPC_IP_address

That's it, then you able to copy from your pc to mac
of cos you need to assign your pc with a static IP first.

Mac OSX can read NTFS, just not write. So if you're copying your music library over to your Mac, it shouldn't run into any problems.

For those MBP users who are interested in a faster internal HDD, I've just installed this today...

how much is the Momentus?What's the speed rate?

oi how much is that? whats the performance like

estimated around RM 540, bought online with an external case bundle... can consider good bargain already...

I'm not into benchmarking, but coming from a 5400rpm previously, I'd say my MBP is really much more responsive...

I haven't got time to test or play with it yet, still busy with work...

Added on June 28, 2010, 6:59 pmJust wanna add:

The drive is of course, slightly warmer due to faster spins. Can feel the warmth on the lower right palm rest area, but as for noise and vibration - none of a problem at all...

I've noticed my MBP fans spin up much more frequently but then again it could be due to the heavy data read/write from OS restoration and my ongoing work...

And try and get Paragon NTFS for Mac. You don't have to worry whether your external hard disk is which format any longer.

will the 12.5mm 2.5" HDD (750GB or 1TB) fit into mid 2010 mbp 13/15/17? I'm getting mixed responses of yes and no.

If you're looking at the 750GB, the latest iteration is 9.5mm... only the 1TB is at 12.5mm, and spins slower at 5,200rpm instead of 5,400rpm...

But then again, I have not seen 750GB anywhere here...

i'm looking at the biggest capacity available that can be fitted in mid 2010 mbp 13", i'm fine with 5400/5200 RPM as the improvement of additional 2000RPM is reported marginal.

can you give me the exact model

You can transfer from the drive, but cannot transfer to the drive.

NTFS-3G

sorry to ask, but I was connecting my pc and mac with RJ-45 cable, direct connection.
Open my PC share folder with smb:// protocol.
Then I just transfer files from mac to pc, which previously I backup from my pc to mac.
I am very sure I didn't install NTFS-3G or any other NTFS tool, because the mac is brand new.

May I know what happen? As I know Mac couldn't "write" to NTFS...
Although they are some file with chinese filename will give me error, but most of the files
transfer back to my pc without any problem

ST95005620AS... If you're still in the UK, according to my friend, it's still not available there yet....

update for my battery issue:


new battery from apple... but i have to pay for that
