This is the 5th Version of the MacBook/MacBook Pro/Air Thread. I hope you macbook users can get along and share the joy of your MacBook.

New rules as FYIRE set last thread:

1. DO NOT SPAM
When I say do not spam. It means do not post useless '1 sen' posts such as 'Apple s**** , too expensive .. without being constructive. You can say Apple Sucks but please do provide your reason. For example
CODE
I think MacBook Pro is overpriced. This is because I could get a laptop with a similar specification for half the price. On top of that , there are some heat-releated issues that Apple should solve with their MacBook Pro series. Overall for me , I don't think its worth it. Its just my thought

2. BE POLITE

Please respect other members here and don't just start to flame. We should be thankful that the Administrators for giving this marvellous place
I hope you enjoy your new MacBook/MacBook Pro/Air Thread

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
*
anyone can confirm this eh? i m planning to get ACPP when i save enuf money (already broke after order MBP).. but i think if we call in.. they will definitely say the discounted one is fake.. hope to hear more comments on this.. smile.gif

I plan to get before the 1 year warranty ends. Probably during the last month
Would like to ask, I ordered 1 software together with my MBP
The software said its ready for shipment and my MBP still not sure
Will they make 2 trips to deliver or just 1 shot? smile.gif
I still can't believe I will be getting my first apple  rclxms.gif The feeling is just  drool.gif

sure o not? normally they use airbill by DHL wor~~ all the items i buy are shipped by DHL using airbill. even if they ship it from the factory in China, it only take less than 24 hours. just 1 time my shipment got delayed 4-5 hours because having some issue passing the customs in Hong Kong.
*
o? really? then why need 20 -26 (6days) for the delivery while shipment(i guess it is assembly) only 2 - 4 days eh?

If you installed a 64 bit windows OS, why would you want to download 32 bits softwares? I dont think 32 bit softwares is compatible with 64 bits. Just find 64 bits compatible softwares =D. Im planning to use bootcamp to install my 64 bit windows 7 =D...
*
from what i read.. 32 bit software can run on 64 bit windows.. but then the performance might not be as good as 32 bit SW on 32 bit Win.. i dunno how true is that..

and of coz i wanna use all 64 bit stuff.. but i m worry that some old driver just dont hv 64 bit..
