I have the i5

Just done playing COD for 2 hours and temperature is a cool 57C...

Maybe cuz i raise it up using 2 cellotapes

Probably! .. I used it for couple of days before I'm getting a lot of page reload errors and that really pissed me off and ditch it altogether. BTW, if you want a quick way accessing your application w/o going to finder -> applications .. take a look at QuickSilver, a free multi-application launcher .. just need to press two key combination .. ctl-space .. and type in first few characters of your app name.. really handy ..

WTA : what are the things that people normally do on Windows based PC but not on MAC?

The mamba works alright with the macbook but the buttons wont work. So regular surfing is alright Tarantula works also except the macros
I only get the beach ball when I open too many programs and multitask at once.

i m new to Mac at the moment.. i think it is Internet Explorer (to run some ActiveX stuff)... and .exe files.. and some non-mac compatible software (such as FIFA10 ) but to overcome that.. u hv to install windows in Mac lor.. (by Bootcamp/VMware/Parallel)

cannot say yet. an MBP is not a hand-built machine...it rolls out of a manufacturing plant like any other products out there. electronics, cars, etc. any manufactured products will got bad batch, it's impossible to have every single unit sold to be perfect. that's y we have warranty. so juz because one i7 MBP become very hot, doesnt mean all i7 is very hot. we'll have to wait

quicksilver can do much more stuff than just launching apps. if you're gonna use quicksilver only for that, juz use spotlight~ dats y i uninstall quicksilver hehe...only used it to launch apps last time. now spotlight very useful can become calculator

- pay, install, update, scan antivirus, n ending up infected anyway
- overclocking
- play with registry files, DLL
- deal with 'troubleshooting' that makes u go in a circle
- install desktop themes and dock to look like OSX
- put apple logo sticker on their PCs
- post in forums bashing apple and mac users

Haha.. thanks for pointing that out .. I've not been using the spotlight fully I guess .. when did they implement it? Been using QuickSilver for a long time and get used to it really.. now I can just uninstall quicksilver too ...

hi, i'm new to mac and since there is a question above asking the things that people normally do on Windows based PC but not on MAC, my question here is:
what are the things that people normally do on MAC but not on PC?

really ? i thought 2k is quite expensive for a 3 years old macbook

hahaa... funny

i guess nothing? whatever mac can do, PC can do with the right software. the difference is how easy n fast u can do it

yep yep couldn't agree more.

its like using different cars A and B to drive to the same destination =)

But at least you do not have to send your car to the mechanic every now and then

My current battery capacity is 98% and the load cycles is already 8
I use my macbook everyday and I use while charging. When it reaches 100%, I remove the plug and use
Sometimes I continue plugging the charger in while using for 3 hours
And I let it drop till 30% and I will charge again. Guess this should be fine right?

Sometimes I let the battery drain and let it sleep. Put the charger in and use it again
I read from the LYN I have to let it charge till 100% and let it rest then only can use again. Do it once a month

Hi Apple Fanatics~ Just made my purchase on the high end 15" Macbook Pro, just checked that the shipment had been picked up by DHL at 2:58pm just now, cant wait to get my hands on it!! Haha.. This is my very first Apple product, will need guidance from all the sifus here in the future

actually i was about to go pick up an i7 macbook pro 17inch but after read the review just now , i wonder is it really a good choice to go for 17inch i7 macbook pro -.-

I don't think you'd run benchmark software daily

why is it so bad about i7 eh? is it only in 17inch or involve 15inch as well?

but i hate to have hot pan pizza around
somemore this 4mb cache i7 only
not 6mb or 8mb..=.= speechless..

I dont feel anything wrong going for the i7 17"... Should be happy if you could afford the highest end of the MBP line =D Ppl like me would definitely get it if I have the budget..
