Hi guys. New Macbook Pro user for the last 3 weeks. MBP 15 2.66 GHz i7, with 4gb RAM, 500gb 7200rpm HDD, and also opted for the hi-res glossy screen. Hope you guys can help me if there's any problems. Thanks! smile.gif

Great man! Lovin the new laptop. How's the battery life on yours? I've read that the hi-res display uses abit more battery life than normal. I'm kinda curious because of the reviews I've read about the battery life of MBP seems to be excellent. How about yours?

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.

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

Anyone using any screen protector for their macbook displays? Or anyone using any special products to clean the screen?

I have Steam already, and I don't think Starcraft will be sold there. Does anyone know where I can preorder starcraft 2 for mac?

Hmm, no apps running at all. Could Paragon NTFS for mac be the culprit? The game seems to be recommending the High settings, so shouldn't it be smooth? But it isn't! Can anyone help?


Added on July 27, 2010, 8:15 pmHmmm, it's like this. So I restarted my MBP, and played it, it was smooth for awhile, and then all of a sudden, it went laggy. What could be the problem?
