QUOTE(cyberixus @ May 9 2010, 07:10 PM) So fast!! I was told ... that my MBP will hv to go back to china, where they'll check it and then send me the replacement. They say it might take approximately 2-3 weeks before I get the replacement unit of MBP!! QUOTE(wei @ May 9 2010, 11:04 PM) That's BS. I suggest you get your unit back and send to proper Apple Service Center ASAP. I'm afraid that's how it works here... The last time Apple agreed to replace my Mac Pro, they had to ask the AASP to send it back to either China or Australia, which I can't remember... Only when they received the defective unit as a complete set, then they can process a replacement... If it's a standard model, probably less than a week, but if it's a custom model like mine, slightly over a week...  Wei, you're into Mac service, I find it kinda surprising you don't know well regarding AppleCare's replacement procedures...  Added on May 9, 2010, 11:52 pm QUOTE(cyberixus @ May 9 2010, 11:43 PM) I bought it online through apple store malaysia. And I am in Ipoh. Do you mean I can just walk in into any of the Apple Premium Resellers like Machines or Switch and have it exchanged? I suggest you to call AppleCare. If it warrants a replacement, then they'll assign you a case number and give you an idea of what to do next... either send it to a nearest AASP, or they assign a courier to pick it up from you... but since you're in Ipoh, I suppose the latter...Actually I intend to call them again tmrw morning.

QUOTE(wei @ May 10 2010, 12:01 AM) Your case doesn't meant everyone's case. relax dude... I'm not here to steal your business. However I find it discomforting over your bossy postings lately... If you wanna show off whose the boss, be my guest, but this is a public forum, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion...I say it could be done in 5-10 working days. Which is not 2-3 weeks. And please not quote me if you are not sure the situation. Dont try to challenge me on ACP knowledge. |

QUOTE(wei @ May 10 2010, 12:20 AM) So you finally voice up your true reason of recent quotes. If you got hurt by my posting here, I apology. If you like it, i will open up a thread just to apologize to you should that make your felt better. I believe I threat technical question technically and won't bring personal emotion into it. My intention are always to help. But some might get the answer wrong way, or trying to sway my intention other way round. If you or more member think my posting here is un-welcome, I will gladly shut the f*ck up. Nobody has doubt that your intentions here are sincere, in fact I'm sure your contributions here merits enough to deserve an Elite tag...  However I find your approach to such situation rather too emotional at times, especially when ppl question you, just like I did just now. This is not the first time. And you really think that I challenged you, or rather me insulting your intelligence...? If it is then I offer my sincere apology... |

QUOTE(Hanifah H. @ May 16 2010, 01:32 PM) maybe not 15inch la bro, 17 inch perhaps... Are you kidding...? high-res 1680 x 1050 vs 1600 x 900... I'll stick with the former as I favor more real estate over real aesthetics...on 15 inch, it can be 1600 x 900.... also ok for work what... i mean the iMac has already gone 16:9... MBP should be next right? i see some Dell Laptops also 16:9.. Samsung Monitors also i see everywhere is mostly 16:9... there is a high chance that the next update will be 16:9 right? What do you guys think?  And I don't think Apple will put in a 16:9 screen without a redesign of the entire form-factor... and if an upcoming 27" 16:9 ACD is to complement the MBPs, I don't think Apple even cares... BTW, anyone here with a high-res MBP 15" care to check if there's any setting on the MBP for 1600 x 900...? If there is, that basically kills the idea of a 16:9 screen ratio form-factor... |

ok, my Mac Pro's finally out....
  looking at either the 17" MBP Core i7 or the 15" MBP Core i7... I've already got a 24" Dell to complement the upcoming MBP, so now it's just a matter of your guys convincing me which one I should go for... decisions decisions...  This post has been edited by Eithanius: Jun 1 2010, 08:54 PM |

QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jun 1 2010, 09:19 PM) Ok go for 15inch i7, upgrade to high resolution display and the 500gb HDD to 7200rpm. It'll cost you RM7689 vs MBP 17 with i7, 500GB hdd 7200RPM = RM8315 I was planning for 17" CTO i7 with 500GB 7200rpm from a reseller, but few weeks without computer to use... price difference is = RM626 for 1 additional USB port, pcie slot, bigger screen, heavier laptop. You decide if its worth it or not  And I've yet to see how good is a HR 15" screen compared to a normal res 15"... |

QUOTE(wei @ Jun 1 2010, 09:25 PM) 17" is really heavy when you travel alot. Consider that instead of the spec. I think both 15" & 17" will perform rather well as a laptop. And please include ACPP into your budget by any means. I've owned 3 Macs so far, neither one of them went without ACPP... QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jun 1 2010, 09:37 PM) i know wat you mean, my old mb is dying slowly(i give it a few weeks), planning to get a mbp soon 15 at least. but from my experience they take longer hehe, anyways the 600++ saved is half of the ACPP, heed wei's advice! I guess I have to build a PC first while waiting for the MBP... My GPU work is all gonna be on the PC side...This post has been edited by Eithanius: Jun 1 2010, 09:46 PM |

QUOTE(wei @ Jun 1 2010, 10:02 PM) Hehehe, i would get a 17" for occasional travel + a low end 13" for daily travel, or even an iPad if it get the job done. Even 15" is heavy for amount of stuff I have to carry around. But then again, that's me. One can always disagree. Just aim at what you really need, not want. Laptop get replaced much faster than the desktop. I don't really see the point to invest too much. Unless you keeping for the next 3-4 yrs or don't mind about resell. I've been using a Mac Pro for 3 years.... Two Mac Pros in fact... And I've no complain about performance, let alone keeping it for years to come..The only reason I go portable is because of the shifting in direction of distributive computing from CPU to GPU, and Apple's somewhat PITA about Mac Pro GPUs, plus those crappy drivers and lack-lustre OpenCL implementation - might as well salvage whatever I have thanks to my ACPP on the first Mac Pro, sell it off to build a cheap PC with high-end GPU for that... |

After using my MBP for days now, I'm still not using SMCFanControl because I can see the fans work their way quite satisfactory by themselves...
