Finally! Bought my MBP 13' just yesterday.

Guys, can you all recommend me some customization apps? eg. Visage

Yes any laptop with a Sata hard drive can use SSD abt ur dvd drive, uh, i dont think u can feel the weight difference anyway MBA is not light juz bcuz theres no dvd drive. Its light bcuz of that and the fact that they made it thinner to not accommodate the drive. Ur laptop is heavier bcuz of the extra size to fit in a dvd drive, not the dvd drive itself

The Corsair F240 is 80grams. How heavy is a HD? 120grams? Taking out the DVD would definitely lighten your notebook. I'm considering taking out my Superdrive and putting in another SSD in there. Maybe one of the cheap 160GB Intels some forumers are selling here.

Good idea, SoonWai, but you will need an adapter. I bought myself an OCZ VERTEX 2 SSD 240GB today. Hope to add another one down the road!

my plan will either be 120GB or 240GB SSD on HDD bay + 500GB HDD on OptiBay + external SuperDrive

no point having so many SSDs as my downloads will wreck the SSD sooner or later with too many rewrites...

Just bought myself Macbook Air, the base 3299 model. Was told by the epicenter guys that it would take 2-3 weeks to get the 4Gb version, so I just pay and left.

Now, i saw the online store says it takes only 3 days! grrrr.....

and of coz epicenter people are geniuses

3 business days to ship from their factory... and probably a few more days to get to you...

If you don't understand how Apple and it's resellers work, just shut up ok...?

and u do?

I am using my MBA with 2GB as well. I think its more then enough?

It took 9 days for me to received my macbook air 13" with upgraded processor and added ram. Min also 8 days if you order from Apple Store.

assumed i do!
normal, if you order CTO thru reseller, it takes longer time
cuz it's not ship directly to your address, it ship to singapore then, KL, then to reseller warehouse, then to store waiting you to pickup.

MacStudio told me that I could CTO order and it would take around 3 weeks. So I did online purchase. When I ordered, Apple online gave me the expected date of arrival ( 3 business days plus 4 days, shipping), by DHL carrier, from Shanghai. It was slightly earlier than stated; about one week, 6 days total.

and that is NOT 3 weeks right as quoted by the epicenter geniuses
so Eithanius I suggest YOU shut you trap since your level of knowledge is at par with those morons

Looks like it is pretty much a standard practice to quote maximum waiting time to push people to buy on the spot. I should have known better.

Anyway, I hope 2G is enough. I browser with like 10 window and 1 pages document and 1 pdf open already left me with barely 100Mb free RAM left. But with the fast hd, even with some disk swapping, it should be bearable. Without looking at the mem usage, everything is still snappy so far.

Hey guys, just wondering if the i7 on the macbook pro is a quad core or still a dual core processor? I have to assume that the i5 is a dual core but not too sure about the i7 line-ups.

Getting my 13inch in2 days time. Wee.

the i7 is dual core, and each core has 2 virtual cores
