hi guys..
i just placed my order on my 1st MBP at Apple Store..using the "Buy with 1-Click" option. but curious on 1 thing..on the CC part it stated only with an asterisk followed with last 4-digits of CC..e.g. : (Mastercard : *1234 ) Is that normal or it should appear the whole digits of the card? Kindly advice.. |

@tarvalslain87..what a relief then..fuhh..yes i hv the itunes ID and the whole process was signed in from that ID. but i did re-entered the CC digits in the "Buy with 1-click" setting just to confirmed. So..for now..i just need to wait for the shipment day lah..is there anything i should expect within that period?

QUOTE(wiraone @ Apr 28 2010, 02:56 PM) Its really up to you, I have three partitions in my current MBP and I did two partitions on my wife's new MBP .. What I did was resizing the big partition into two using Disk Utility .. First, boot up using the SL DVD, do not continue with installation, there is menu to run disk utility instead. Do a search on the net using google on how to do the resizing .. this link should shed some light .. @wiraone..rather than resizing it..could it creates new partition instead..http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/leopard_di...partitions.html if i were to have partitions..what would u recommend me to store into those partitions..e.g data, games, office, school etc.. @tarvalslain87 .. i'm planning to use Bootcamp later..but still uncertain to install either win xp or windows7.. |

WTA : we all know that MAC OS is virus-free OS..but what if i opt to install windows on MAC..does it still vulnerable to the viruses and as such? this my first time using MAC OS..has anyone ever encountered crashes or corruption over MAC OS? i know windows always do..is it save for me to not have partitions rather than keeping my files on 1 partition?

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ May 1 2010, 08:35 PM) no one can be sure. juz because 1 unit very hot doesnt mean every single unit is hot. we all know got case where MBP explode etc but u dont see every single MBP in the world explode. read a few pages back on what i said about manufactured products. worst case, u can claim warranty. hehehe..there is nothing wrong of having folders on the same partition..it's just that i had been using windows for years..and the traumas of losing files and corrupted data when windows crashed still rings the bell..ive been asking a lot bout this partitioning that ive come to solution now as advised..thanks guys..acpp = applecare protection plan. it extends ur warranty for 2 years, so u end up with total 3 years warranty, with tech support actually virus can go in OSX, it's just that it cant do anything. e.g. if i copied an infected file from a friend's thumbdrive, then i'll have the virus in my mac...but it wont affect OSX at all. but then if i share that same file to another windows friend, n he download it, he'll get infected. can understand? :S so if u install windows (either bootcamp or VM), yes you can get virus. if the virus come into ur windows system, then it'll infect windows. if it come into OSX, no problem. crashes can happen to any system...but i realize it's far far less in OSX compared to windows. about corruption, so far i only had 1 corrupted file in my 4 years using mac  personally i dont see y people like to save different files on different partitions...what's so bad about folders?1 thing though..can i run applications or games that were installed on MAC from WINDOWS or the other way around? |

Guys..i bought a original dvd (movie) and played with normal flat CRT TV..(not yet LCD hehehe). The picture quality is up to my expectation (apatah lg kalau LED @ LCD hehehe)..so my thought was if the DVD were to played on my mbp..the quality would be better..but it turns otherwise.. it was similar to other notebook quality...maybe im lack of display technologies knowledge..and hope someone might advice..tq

QUOTE(Ojimaru @ Jun 26 2010, 05:44 PM) What kind of quality were you expecting? And what are your MBP specs? im only using mbp 13 (new spec). i know i shouldnt expected the quality would be better as HD LCD/LED watsoever. just curious and if it has the quality as to my flatscreen tv..that is just nice and adequate. Not really expecting it would better than HD. My request is if someone knows a codec or two for the video quality then it would be helpful. that's all.. tq |
