that's really the best 'new feature' rm5599 is really hard to justify. rm3299 is great, macbook vs MBA seems more reasonable compared to MBP vs MBA

dont forget rm4899 also comes with extra 70gb hdd space. i'll suggest getting the rm3899 one and buy ACPP

im using logitech premium usb hub (i think that's the name lah, powered one). i think it was rm80-90.

for those two stuff u mention, moshi is much2 better i've used capdase keyboard protector last time. too thick, n the surface is too smooth to type (no grip). bought moshi n couldn't be happier i also used moshi palmguard for both my MBP dy.

but palmguard have to be really careful when u install, dont bend it too much cuz it will leave white coloured creases on it. not really visible under fluorescent light but under sunlight very obvious n ugly +_+

yeap, new option since the day MBA was announced

OH MY GOD! faster leave ur laptop n run away from ur house, it's gonna explode anytime soon!!!

chill la, that's normal. what kind of battery stays at 100% health, im pretty sure we're still in 2010

be aware that antiglare screen protectors always have the rainbow effect. cheap ones are more severe, expensive ones not so but it's still there. just use w/o SP 1st (u dun need to worry about scratches), if really cannot stand the glare, then go for antiglare SP. again, u can go for capdase ixkata or moshi ivisor. both is the 'sticky' type, they stick using adhesive instead of static (like crystal SPs do). capdase one is good enough for me, but i havent saw the moshi one yet

if ur keyboard protector can melt like that, then i'd advise you to stop using it i nvr had that problem with my moshi clearguard

i think apple products always like this haha. but now even more 'condensed'

LOL. if 2gb is enough for u for 2 years, shud b enough for another 2 years . our hardware spec is increasing at a faster rate than our software requirements. any 'low end' spec computer (sans netbooks) today are pretty much capable of doing what most ppl would do with a computer already

permanently stuck, exactly like how u're stuck with the the memory of n ipod/ipad/iphone

any idea when the trial will come out?

im gonna guess Lion will be sold in usb drives

but that's just the web app student price from my uni is AUD 99

the dimensions is right there at apple's website... look for MBA tech spec. measure urself

share buying office 2011? PM me too~

dun worry, autocad for mac was just released end of august but yeah, autocad on MBA i dont think so. maybe if using older versions on bootcamp can la

either thermal issues, or maybe they juz want to reserve it for the 13"

ipod nano? wrong la.... next purchase should be mac pro

find some time to watch the videos n read some guides here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/

i recommend this to all new mac users. it's a very good start

'command' and 'option' keys...uh, look at your keyboard, on both sides of the spacebar

oh i see. they are modifier keys, like ctrl. u know how in windows it's ctrl+c n ctrl+v for copy n paste? in osx it's command+c and command+v. ctrl, option, shift n command are all modifier keys, and what it does depends on what app are you running. u can configure the shortcuts in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts

to discover what does what in an app, open any app n look through the menu bar at the top. look at the symbols beside the menu item. u might wanna have a look at this http://www.osxkeyboardshortcuts.com/key-de...ifier-keys.html

thx bro string for the heads up on fluorescent bulbs. i had no idea +_+

actually some forumers n myself having this problem too. it's not abt it gets harder to click near the top. even at the bottom, can easily click but have to press very hard for it to register. i dun really care since i only tap or use a mouse anyway, but im gonna send it for repair when i hv the time later. might as well make use of my ACPP

open Disk Utility (use spotlight), select ur external hd on the left, to go Erase tab, pick format: FAT32 then click on Erase

the limitation of fat32 drives is u cannot store a single file that is larger than 4gb. no problems for folders, but not files

or u can just install ntfs-3g (free) to enable ntfs support. the transfer speed is really slow though. for faster speed u might wanna get tuxera ntfs or paragon ntfs, both are paid software. im using paragon NTFS n it works well

edit: can we have a sticky for this? it's an understandable problem for new mac users

i dont know where u got those ideas. why do u think macs cannot download songs, movies, cannot play flash n cannot drag drop?

all those can do lah. i guess the only limitation is no bluray. and no '3D screen' or gimmicky face-recognition login if that's ur thing

how come? if u have the new design, can trade with mine i prefer the new one. i always have the cord run to the back anyway

those complaints about 720p videos are more likely to be about the previous gen MBA. maybe u can try looking for reviews specifically on the current gen, or just ask those using it here

MBA 13" will be better for HD viewing compared to MBP 13" due to more pixels. but 11" maybe a bit small for you. if i have a powerful desktop at home, i'll get an MBA w/o question

some people, rm7k is cheap. some people, rm4k is expensive.

that being said, even the cheapest macbook white should be up to most tasks u can throw at it. im using a 2008 MBP, which has slightly lower specs as the current macbook white (ignoring my dedicated GPU since i hardly use it), n upgraded to 4gb ram (i suggest u do that as well, should cost around rm350 only). it's running damn fine until now, so im sure the current macbook white will do too

it would be great if u could top up a bit for the basic MBP 13". the aluminium body feels much better. macbook white will look dirty after a while
