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..

QUOTE(viper-xs @ Apr 26 2010, 02:19 AM) Yep the one with the magnet. 60W is for the 13" macs, 85W is for the 15"There are only 2 power range I think. One is 60W and 85W I think. Wonder if the size still the same and can interchangeable between the old and new one 15"s can use the 60w for charging, but a slower la of course. im not sure if can use the 85W on 13" or not btw, since the current MBPs miniDP port can support audio, if we use the older miniDP-to-HDMI cable, can transfer audio too? or need new kind of miniDP cable? |

@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? Added on April 26, 2010, 12:45 pmYea software update is a must do first =D and gratz on your new MBP.. Share some pictures here =D This post has been edited by tarvalslain87: Apr 26 2010, 12:45 PM |
