QUOTE(miaka_tama @ Aug 15 2010, 11:03 AM) Guys, This happens to me all the time when I got it hooked up with the power adapter.I wana ask... When I'm charging my MBP, I feel the electricity shock around the edges, especially where the wrist rest area is.. any ideas? I remember reading it somewhere but couldn't find it back on the thread.. sorry  I'm using the MagSafe plugged with the extended cable to my power source extension.. THx. I've no idea what's going on. All I know is try lifting it up with the back of it as the pivot. You'll feel electrostatic charge no more This post has been edited by mannquin: Aug 16 2010, 03:58 AM |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Aug 15 2010, 09:39 PM) i dont think so, despite a few people claim it is. if it is IPS, apple would market it as such i think it is, apple buys all their screens at a bulk, the MBA screen is better compared to the MBP 13 and the MB, you can always ask String to comment on this. |

Woooeeee.............will be getting my first MBP 15-inch today. Have decided to give up using Windows. Feeling very excited about. Guess, I'll be needing plenty of help from all you sifus here in this Forum which I have been following. Very interesting reading and learning from all your varied experiences in using the Mac. Keep the feedbacks coming in.

Hey guys,
Regarding Bootcamp for Mac, can any version of Windows be installed? Example for Windows 7, can both 32bit n 64bit work fine? Or is there a 32bit version actually? Tq! |
