if me, juz get ACPP directly from apple. the whole point of ACPP is so u dun have to worry about it anymore. if i buy "discounted" ones, i'll still be worried if it's legit or not. juz my opinion

even bags also 17" not much choice

yea true.. sometimes i see their stock very dirty already...still selling at full price

waiting for them to restock on industry disgrace. gave mine to my gf since she needed it urgently...now waiting for crumpler to call me when they restock~ almost 3 weeks dy

can ur mac boot up normally? if yes, juz boot like normal... insert the DVD, open it in double click on Install Mac OS X. it will restart ur mac n will boot from the dvd. this way no need to press C. hope it works

hm im scared if ur EFI partition kena delete. that would be a huge problem

the only way i can think of is install OSX from another mac. easiest way is to do target disk mode (assuming it works lah), but u need a firewire port and cable to do this. n obviously another mac that has a firewire port. insert the OSX dvd into the other mac, and install onto ur HDD.

2nd choice if no firewire port, take out ur HDD n connect it using USB to another mac. then same thing lah, install OSX to ur HDD

even OSX got bootcamp, i still duno why ppl want to delete the mac partition n install windows. how come i never see ppl buy BMW M5 then change to myvi engine...

so nice to see so many people happy

online can get education price... cheaper if u're eligible lah. but need to wait a few days or weeks...some people dun like that. they prefer today pay, today bring home. so those people will buy direct from shop

about machines ah...if u look around Apple Byte u can find so many thread complain about machines

you buy MBP in california also, still made in China

i think he meant the kinda-cylindrical one

60W is for the 13" macs, 85W is for the 15"

15"s can use the 60w for charging, but a slower la of course. im not sure if can use the 85W on 13" or not

btw, since the current MBPs miniDP port can support audio, if we use the older miniDP-to-HDMI cable, can transfer audio too? or need new kind of miniDP cable?

is this ur 1st mac? i recommend u watch all video tutorials here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/

some free softwares u shud install:
VLC - play videos
Perian - additional codecs for quicktime
NTFS-3G - enable writing n formatting for NTFS drives. some external hdd wont work if u dun have this. more details here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1353685

dun forget to do Software Update

congrats on ur purchase!!

dun think2, better go check. might be juz some loose cable somewhere

maybe need to calibrate 1st? flash n firefox can affect battery life oso

depends what does rm3000 mean to u. if not much, rm3.6k can get new macbook... or mbp13 with edu price. the upgrade seems worth it to me

if 3k is too much to add on top of rm600, then fix lah. if sell, uhh...1k? not sure

well that's technology...what to do? for the price of my MBP, now topup rm200 can get 17" with core i7 dy

i think if rm600 i'll fix it. try consult wei maybe he can get it done cheaper for you

^ im guessing u just went to gizmodo

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

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

remember the review is only for a single unit. as i said, it's a manufacturing product. one unit cannot represent the entire production line.

juz get the i7. anything happens, got warranty. hehe

yes can make new partitions too

my opinion, 1 partition is enough. even though resizing a partition is possible, you still have to DO it. folders no need to resize

bootcamp now can access the osx partition too. so i dun see the need for partitions

sell the macbook shell casing

page out happens when ur RAM is full. no more space, so it has to temporarily transfer (page out) the data to ur harddisk. this contributes to lag. it doesnt necessarily make HDD die faster, juz that more file transfer between RAM n HDD is going on

yes, more RAM would solve it. memory leak can use activity monitor
