well
my mbp in malaysia could heat up to 90 degree
just wonder what will happen in i5 and i7 machine

Never really tried to test the temperature... ANy software to recommend for temperature monitoring? does iStat monitor temperature?

Can cook "maggi mee" while you wait for "screwmax" stream your youtube flick, you could probably do a mini sauna if you're in a closed room.

i am using it now.. how to check eh?

feel like wanna buy too.. but i think not so fast.. bcoz need to buy external keyboard first b4 the stand..

btw.. do u guys restart or shut down your mac? or just put it into sleep? my mbp just now beachball until i TL.. then i restart it.. now seems ok..

i was doing photoshop for the whole day since i on my MBP... just now when i wanna type in Chinese character in my photoshop.. things get slow until always get beachball when
1) i swap my language input from eenglish - chinese - english, i get beachball
2) i click on the words i wanna edit, i get beachball
3) i click on other apps such as skype, beachball
4) click back to the Photoshop app, beachball
5) wanna quit photoshop, beachball!!!!

apps running: Photoshop, google chrome (about 20 tabs), firefox (5tabs), skype like tat only..

each time the beachball may varies from 5 to 15 seconds.. is it normal?

Maybe a little bit too much on your internet browsers with so many tabs and photoshop... ALl those are memory and processor hungry right? Need other senior members to clarify.. If for normal desktop not mac, definitely will start to see some slowdown with those applications used..

I dont shut down my mac unless im sleeping at night =D

run a permission repair.

very sleek the mstand looking. Mite consider that if the dock takes to long to ship.
How I wish I cud use my mamba n tarantula simultaniously with my mbp.

Why not? Your mamba and tarantula should be compatible with mac right? I know mamba is but not sure about tarantula though... Im using my deathadder and my microsoft x6 =D

thanks!

u mean go to utilities > disk utilitiy > click on 500.11GB Toshiba blabla > Repair Disk Permissions?

usually this will solve problem of beachball or lagging?

Or find application with name "snow leopard cache cleaner" on google,
Run "optimize file" from that application

It fixed my beachball problem.

I'll be using my desktop n mbp on the same workspace. It is compatible, but can't use with two devices without unplugging ma.
i'm facing space issue. Tats y tis silly silly thoughts cming up my mind.
i'll post up pics of my setup when it's done.

iStat it is Not only temp but slew of other neat stuff. Disk usage, Ram, etc...

so you mean that its not really a issue? or it is a issue ?


planning to get an i7 tho

I don't usually shutdown my MBP, I let it run for few weeks before I restart it. On why too many beachballs .. check the activity monitor and see what processes consume lot of cpu time or check the hard disk activities .. On your chrome or firefox, did any of the tabs contain any Flash application? I've removed both chrome and firefox out of my MBP since sometime they consumed lot of cpu time for no reason .. only left is safari and its the default anyway.

thx for sharing.. yea.. shud hv check the activity monitor.. last nite was blur.. cant figure it out where is the ctrl+alt+del for Mac.. then straight i restart.. after that only think back it is at activity monitor.. will see nx time to find out.. however.. i see the google chrome using a lot of memory, each new tabs consists of 25-35MB if not mistaken.. name as google chrome helper as the process name..

is it bcoz chrome still in beta stage? that's why got this problem?
