hey guys, just for heads up, there's is currently a promotion for machines at either north or south court at mivalley. i just bought my speck see thru satin 15" there at 50% discount, which is only rm89. will post pics on it soon.
but the speck they are selling there is for the early 09 model and so happens mine is so i snap it up. whoever that are using the same model as i am shud take this opportunity and grab the cases there while stocks last. the promo is valid for 13" mbp too.

hey bro. just a bit confused here. the second pic is your old mb black?

thanks for the clarification. yeah nice charger eh? is that the new charger or the old one? i dont see anyone using it around. hmm..

hey anyone out there that wish to sell their mstand? looking for another one.

haha, i am heading abroad soon too. not sure if i shud get it when im there. but im so tempted to get one. i think several machines outlets still have the mstand, but im planning to purchase a secondhand one bcos this will be my second mstand for my 2nd mbp. think it will kinda neat to have both on the stand.

thought about getting the arc stand, but that one makes the mbp unable to open its lid if anytime i need to. will try and search for a secondhand one. anyone?

mStand!!!

rawrr! i need a mStand. okok do you guys think mstand or the book arc stand is more worthy. i have an external monitor hence, i dont 'really' need to really use the mbp when its connected to the monitor. so which one is better, mstand or the arc?

ok so all votes for the mstand. but dont you think if your table is moderately sized, the book arc wud b a good way to save space?

i like the old one too. the old one is the one in the picture right?

oh if so den i like the new one, cos i thought the cylindrical shaped one is the old one. yeap the new one definitely looks nicer.

ahhh the apple cinema display! really want that! any idea why the price is so high? its almost not near any display of the same size.

why your macbook white in such odd position? you shud get the BookArc. think the solve the problem you are having over there bro.

bro which hp monitor is that if you dont mind me asking.

hey im thinking about purchasing about purchasing a monitor to be connected to my mbp. but im worried that the mbp might get hot if it is left closed, and not opened. unlike my sony vaio that i have connected to my current display, it is not made out of alum hence, the surface is not as hot as compared to the mbp.

really need advice on users that have already connected their mbp with external monitors: do i need to open the laptop even when connected to an external monitor to avoid heat being trapped while it is closed.

thanks in advance.

im pretty sure its from ikea. pricing? urm not too sure thou, proly less than 1k? few hundreds?

hey guys,

i just connected my mbp with an enternal screen. and althou i use it with the mbp display off, the body (esp the left side) still gets pretty hot. considering i am using this in a non air-conditioned room, is there any other way to resolve this? i am worried that it might get too hot that i dont even close the lid. anyone else experiencing this?

yeah i leave the lid open too with display off, but i wonder whether is there any other way to control the temperature of the mbp without being in an air conditioned room as i plan to get the BookArc.

hot = uncomfortable to touch, not until it burns the hand. sometimes after leaving it on for too long, visiting website with flash will cause the fan to go fast.

and i thought external displays are apple hardware hence posting the query here. the link is rather mbp related issues imo.

urm not sure how do i read the activity monitor, but if im reading it correctly, iTunes and safari are taking up alot of the cpu usage and memory.

but after turning on flash (app on fb), it stats that the flash takes up 110% of cpu usage and abt 700mb or memory. is that normal?

btw currently using mbp 15" early 09 version with the external. i have another mbp 15" early 10 version with the 330m. wud that be a better pair (less hot) with the monitor compared to the older version?

guess there is no way to solve the heating prob of the mbp xcept to blow a fan directly to it. considering how the heat goes out of the mbp upwards, i dont think buying a cooler wud help right?

among the alternatives mentioned, im using the: blow the fan directly on the laptop. invested on a cooler master few months back, but found that it didnt help at all, so scraped that option.

i think ive seen one of those mini usb fan that i cud use to blow directly at the left corner of the mbp.mm

that is one huge fan. looks like it cud leave a mark if it were to come in contact with the screen by accident.
