Thank you for the replies, looks like I might be better off with a MBP though have to admit the display on the MBA is gorgeous! thumbup.gif  Steve said the MBA is the future of Macbooks, what are the likelihood of the MBP being upgraded next year without an optical drive? sweat.gif

No more back-lid keyboards for the next line of MBP tongue.gif

I'm sorry, but Mac also got hibernate, it will hibernate if you don't have any power on your battery (0%).

and for calibrate your battery, just leave it hibernate for 4 to 5 hours without plugging your charger. after that you can start recharging until it full.

i hope you can understand.

ya, i mean apple doesn't call it 'Hibernate', they just call it 'Sleep'

At this point, save your work.  Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep.

Anyone Having problem with their Macbook air order over the Apple store?
I've placed my order since the 24th of Oct. and have yet to received my Macbook Air 13" CTo with 4gb yet. They are now delaying my order till the 15/11/2010, it's really frustrating.

Is there a lack of stock?

the moderator has set rules not to discuss the shipment dates, of course it'll take time since yours is custom made, its not like yours is a standard unit made en masse.

That's a good news to hear.

Just for sharing purpose, may I know which feature of OS X that get you impressed with? Coming from Windows or Linux background?

I have yet to tried Mac OS X myself but I'm just afraid that I won't be utilizing the OS as it should. I'm not a designer or came from multimedia background anyway. But one just can't resist with the form factor (MBA).

most of us here dun have any design/multimedia background. im an engineering student tongue.gif

the notion of "macs are for graphics designers" is very2 not true. OSX is not built for design work. it's just a better OS as a whole (in my opinion lah) for doing anything

Yes, Apple call it "Safe Sleep". it is same process like hibernate on windows.

i quoted from apple help and support.
QUOTE
Safe Sleep ensures that data stored in main memory will not be lost should the computer shut down due to a loss of power during sleep mode. Prior to your computer entering sleep, Safe Sleep automatically saves the contents of main memory—such as desktop settings, open applications, and other work in progress—to the hard drive. In the event the battery becomes completely depleted while the computer is asleep, the computer will shut down. But when a power adapter is connected or a freshly charged battery is installed, the computer can be restarted. Press the power button as if turning the computer on and it will automatically return to the desktop state that existed prior to entering sleep. This means that applications and files will remain exactly as they were prior to the computer being put to sleep, making it easy for you to continue with your work.

trying to go online using my Macbook air...by connecting to my home wifi (at the same time with my old Dell notebook)...but still
unable connect....not sure what is the problem though !

love the widget on the Mac...cool...

regarding the shutdown of MBA...i find no difference whether sleep/shut down...cause both also pretty fast ! icon_idea.gif

and too bad, most apple resellers do not carry any accesories for MBA yet...eg screen protector, case, keyboard protector...
maybe got to wait for few weeks.... but they carry tons of accesories for ipad even though is not launch in
malaysia yet hmm.gif

I realize that there are some dirty white lines on the left hand side of my MacBook Pro's trackpad. Clearly remember that these lines weren't there in the afternoon and I'm pretty sure that I didn't scratch it but I just can't wipe them off. Anyone experienced this before? Anything which I can get to polish it? Sigh, damn sad...

Do you mean both MBA and Dell unable to connect or only MBA have problem?
Weird, because I found out that Macs are much easier to connect the WiFi AP compared to PCs... Its like plug and play...

Also, try using Google Chrome browser... It seems to be faster than Safari... tongue.gif

By that do you mean that your MBA is unable to detect/scan your wireless access point?

If it is able to scan, perhaps try changing the wireless transmit mode to B instead of G/N? By the way you are using the default channel 11 right?
