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

No la. MBP is too heavy for me. I don't need a powerhouse for my mobile computing needs. Only using it for surfing the net.

no i dont think you get what he meant a mac pro is not a macbook pro but its this beast here ->

hey guys i gotten myself MBA 13", 128gb, 2gb ram
my 1st time using mac OSx, quite pain in the ass,
just one question, can MBA runs win7 using boot camp with only 2gb ram?
or i should just stick with win xp
thanks

@bzbody : that's a new one. what specifically do you find a PITA?

according to the official system requirements Windows 7 should run fine on MacBook Air 2010.

Don't forget to read thru the Boot Camp guide before doing anything.

Your "pain" will go away after a week....
Such an expensive MBA...why turn back to the dark side...?

@xaw5126: basically everything, im totally new to mac os, aside from lauching apps, i cant find where is my storage drive, i plug in superdrive there are no icon coming out, etc.... it take alot time to adapt, i dont even know WTF is command, option keys

Gave dem a call again, this lady said I will most probably get it by tomorrow.... Basically different staff telling different things... LOL... The initial one told me its stuck at customs... and he is not sure when will it be cleared.

Running around in circles already.

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

thanks for the videos

what i meant for the command and option where i dunno wat is the function of it

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

No icon? Maybe you did not enable the icon display...

@bzbody : www.apple.com/findouthow ... your keyboard is labeled, you know. command n option keys are on your bottom row.

HDD, CDROM n other external media will appear on the desktop when correctly connected. you can also click the Finder (first icon on the Dock) to view your drives (network drives as well)

Hi, what option do i choose when i install win7 in my MBA?
upgrade or Custom?
doesnt want to screw up the whole thing

Sorry!! found the solution already

@bzbody : how to upgrade? you don't have any existing installation, right?
Custom lor...

Hello,
I would like to know the performance difference between the core i7 2.66 and the core i7 2.8. I would like to know whether the upgrade is worth it or not. Btw, I mainly use final cut pro, after effects. Thanks in advance.

lucky found one that have step by step guide
i have to be careful ler, common sense should be custom, but i just want to make sure i didnt screw up nia

DHL sucks! Now they don't even know where my order is and they can't give me an exact delivery date.

why do you call it ultimate ?, it isn't laptop based pc.
Ex: HP HDX 16t Premium laptop

They called it "Ultimate" because it's been maxed out on the upgrade option as in you can't get any higher than that. Not the ultimate of all laptop.
