how much is the Macbook Pro 15 inch with 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor sold here in Malaysia?

And what is the price difference between 2.53GHz and 2.4GHz spec?

I have a Question here,

If I go for the 15' 2.4Ghz, and priced RM5899. But with all the customization, I only include the ACPP and Microsoft Office edi.

As I am just a student and not knowing anything about editing photos or using those sort of function. Is it really enough just for an average use?

And for those using the lowest 13' inch model, do you guys add further customization? For this model I just added with the HD at 500, MOffice and ACPP.

I am looking for a laptop that I could work on my thesis and research nothing much, maybe watching some good movies thats all

Any comments would be helpful..Cheersss

You don't game, you don't do graphics intensive apps...?

Even basic 13" with 4GB will do fine for Office, customise a 500GB 5400rpm... save up the rest of the money for more RAM later i.e. 6GB or 8GB if need arises... 13" is portable to carry around your school...

Else order stock 250GB 5400rpm, then perhaps later you can upgrade to 500GB 7200rpm drive... bear in mind that ACPP will not cover any parts upgraded outside of Apple...

If you insist on 15" 2.4GHz, better still, it gets to last you longer, better graphics in case you become a game or photogenic freak later... tongue.gif

YES, thx for your advice...mind asking which model are u using? And your specs?

But the ACPP really does make me think is it really that necessary?

My spec's on my siggy....

And yes ACPP is always recommended as it may come in handy - laptop components are expensive to replace out of warranty...

However ACPP is not necessary to be purchased at the same time if you're tight on budget... You have a duration of 1 year to buy ACPP from your date of purchase of your MBP, but not after.... But if you can afford to buy ACPP at the same time, go ahead... who knows, you might need ACPP phone support as original Apple limited warranty that comes with any mac only provides phone support for first 90 days...

Ah...all right i will keep that in mind

any intel based mac from 2006 can do that through bootcamp, and microsoft office 2008 is almost similar to office 2007 on windows, the GUI is little bit different.

Ok...guess will just have to try out iWork 09 be4 setting my mind for bootcamp since Windows 8 is on the horizon. Thx dude. Any idea where to shop for genuine Microsoft products?
