Haha Icic... Yea its kinda hard to search for the accessories.. Last time when I bought the macbook white for my gf also search for her... I got use before invisible shield for my iphone.. Yea its not bad and I think it should be easier to apply on a macbook then a curvy iphone 3G... Shouldnt worry about the solution.. Dont spray too much can already.. I also use a hairdryer once I stick onto my Iphone.. =D Oh one drawback is that when you use it long, it will turn yellowish in colour (for my iphone can see cause its white) not sure for macbook though.. But one thing for sure the edges will be stuck with dirt in the long run.. So if for me I wont get it again as I had a bad experience with it... That is after a long run la.. If short term no problem.. Very nice and very safe (scratch proof proven) =D...

For the magic mouse, Ive read somewhere one forumer go bargain with the apple retailer shop and get RM209.. Maybe you can try to search somewhere in apple thread...

My status so far are as below... Guess it wont be long =D maybe 2-3 working days more

Umm your status should be the same with the rest who customized their macbooks.. Maybe you can try call up the DHL rep and ask them the actual status or any updates like what the other forumers did... Then you can get a clearer answer =D

I think many people will get their 1st mac computer after the price slash that apple did to the macbook line.... Even I was also dragged in into the attractive price that they offer =D

BTW updates so far for my delivery!! Didnt know they will also stop at Subang eventhough Im in Penang... I guess we will have to wait 1-2 more days..

Mine already pass clearance and reach sorting facility... Hope no more clearance to pass @@.... Later Ill go call DHL and see what they say about mine...

Yeap MBP definitely will sell like hotcakes... In Penang, I tried calling Switch and they say they only have like 4 units for the MBP 15" and no stock on the 13" yet and have to wait 2 weeks.. Online order would definitely be faster than that =D.. Its normal that demand > supply for new introduced producst

Added on April 20, 2010, 11:22 amHey, I just called DHL rep... They say my package is at their Petaling Jaya branch still sorting out and they say will transport to Penang by truck... Not plane... So I guess no need to go to the airport... Haha...

@jonest The DHL phone number can be obtained through your shipment detail there just click on the Link malaysia.. But since I already know here it is = 1 800 888 388

@xjukie but my clearance seems to be fast.. maybe at subang airport fast la (only take 2 hours) but now stuck at sorting facility in PJ... Should be fast after that i guess

@mannquin

Just get it from Malaysia apple store... Education price shouldnt be a problem and saves up to RM300.... You can even ask for your credit card bank to fofer you installment (make sure call up the bank to verify 1st)...

The ACPP you can get it now or you can wait till almost the end of your 1 year acpp to get it... Most of the users here get it at the end of their 1 year... But make sure that you remember.. If not there will be no more chance to upgrade it to another 2 more years =D

Since you are talking about exams, Im sure you are a student and no worries about the terms and agreements... Just go ahead and get one now! LOL like an apple promoter... I should work at apple retailer stores...


Added on April 20, 2010, 3:33 pm@jonrwg

haha we have to wait still.... I think shouldnt be a problem just give it 1 more day (today) =D Should be ok by tomorrow

Join the waiting gang here. haha. patience will payoff.. No worries =D the longer you wait the better you will feel when you finally get it... But the hype will definitely go down after that... =D So waiting is the period that you reach your peak of wanting that item =D

how long have you guys waited for them to process the order until it is shipped?

I'm curious as the last time i bought mine, it was shipped immediately, while this time it was so freakingly slow. It's not a CTO unit.

Mine is also not a CTO unit... Basic 15".... Ive ordered it on Saturday morning around 11am but only shipped on the next day which is Sunday... Here is my order of the shipment process...

Haha... Congratz to all of those who got their macbooks today... Seems like today is a good day... =D A lot of us got our MBP... Just cant wait to go home now.. LOL...

@mememe12
Hmm... it should be different from your PC already.. Try transferring all from your PC to your macbook then only sync it as iPhone will follow the computer that you sync with.. If its empty then iPhone will delete all your previous songs/video/pictures etc..

Oh and 1 more thing about the max 4 PC can use for itunes something like that forgotten the name alrready.. If you have reach the maximum at your PC there need to delete or something the account..
