first it was a boring brown box


and then the white magical box

in system preferences > display, u shud be able to set the resolution u want. note that there will be one window for each display

if u want harder bass then forget the Bose n studio monitors. here are my recommendations:

logitech Z-2300, ~rm500
acoustic energy aego M ~rm800? <- good choice for u cuz very small but power not bad
razer mako ~rm1000
logitech Z-5500, ~rm1400? <-- if u got space for 5-channel la

if u have extra money, consider getting USB sound card creative xmod is great
promedia 2.1 GMX? damn good, but quite hard to find lately. but then i didnt look too hard either
mirror of course low resolution mah. mirror mode simply shows whatever ur mbp is showing, it'll follow the mbp resolution too. if u look at urself in an actual mirror also u wont look extra huge right? hehe

so dont use mirror. u mean u want to off mirror mode so u can use the dell as the extended display is it? if yes then just turn off mirror mode, there will be a preference pane on ur dell monitor asking what resolution u want to use, and which display u want to use as the main display. so just pick the maximum, n pick ur dell monitor as the main display. maybe u shud try 1st, probably easier to understand. it's not hard

ooo ok. in Display preferences (when connected to external display, n off mirror mode), u'll see two blue colour rectangles right? one is smaller (ur mbp display) n one is bigger (ur dell display). the smaller one has a white bar on top. the white bar indicates the main display. juz drag the white bar from the smaller blue rectangle to the bigger blue rectangle
agree on the ugly part haha. well logitech speakers are mostly for movies n gaming, that explains the boomy bass

He is comparing with the education price MBW with edu price 3099 and MBP with edu price is 3599.. So RM500 difference..
