This is not a problem.
Often asked by many MacBook users and this is the standard Apple's support reply: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1909?locale=en_CA

QUOTE

This is normal. The batteries used in these computers are designed to avoid short discharge/charge cycles in order to prolong the overall life of the battery.

When setting the Mac OS X battery status menu bar icon to display charge state by percentage, you may notice that the reported charge stays between 93 or 95 percent and 99 percent.

To allow the adapter to recharge the battery to 100%, simply allow the charge to drop below 93%. The adapter will automatically recharge the battery to 100%.


If you refer to the support page, you will see other scenarios ( LHS column ) about the Mac battery's other issues

thx for the answer..but then,the current capacity drops until 90% only in 2 months time(19 cycles only),is there something wrong with my battery?

Why don't you try use it till battery is flat and then recharge it till full to see the results

just ordered my MBA 13" CTO just the 4gb ram upgrade only.... yahoo.. btw normally how does u guys charge the batt? use until 90% only charge or 50% ?

The best advise is from Apple :

QUOTE:
Calibrating your battery ensures you get the longest possible running time from it. Calibrate your battery during the first week you own it, and then recalibrate it every two months. If you use your computer infrequently, it’s best to recalibrate it at least once a month.

Whenever you purchase new batteries, calibrate them as well.
To calibrate a portable computer battery:

1.

Plug in the MagSafe Power Adapter and fully charge the battery.

When the battery is fully charged, the light on the MagSafe Power Adapter connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is charged.
2.

Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer.

You can use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
3.

With the computer still on, disconnect the power adapter and continue to use your computer.
4.

When you see the low battery warning, save your work and close all applications. Keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep.
5.

After your computer goes to sleep, turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
6.

Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged.

You can use your computer during this time.

This website is also quite useful to understand Apple's batteries: I'd say is a must read for new MacBook users: I just quote here one part of it:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

Standard Maintenance

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her MacBook Pro on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month.

thanks thanks thanks....

Hi, i shifting mac soon. i had set my sight on MBP 13". I saw some feedback that this model has heat issue.
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message....sageID=12188297
and i had IT friend also mentioning this. He dismantle the MBP 13" and found only one fan distributing all the heat from Processor, HD and GC. while 15" model had all individual fan each. I didnt see it myself to verify it.
i have a question for MBP 13" (heavy user). I wondering whether the heat is bearable/comfortable.
as it was reported, the heat @ 60C is normal and up to 90C which is crazy...
I wondering whether i should fork out another 2k for 15inch model which is quite out of my reach.

Note: btw, my friend also mentioned it also happen when booting in window.

the MBP 13" has 1 fan because there's only the CPU to cool down. in the 15" MBP, there's the CPU AND the nVidia GPU to cool down.

also, the entire body of the MBP is aluminium, making the entire Mac a heatsink. so yes, it will feel slightly warm all the time. if that's a problem, get the MacBook, which uses a plastic body.

To avoid baking your body parts, try using a laptop stand, e.g. Podium Coolpad or...

wana ask wat's d different between normal macbook,vs macbook unibody,macbook pro...?
jz beside d specs which i can see to different...
does macbook pro hav ani special effect or button compare to d normal one...?
thx...
coz plan to buy a macbook recently...
thx...

Refer to this site where the details of ALL the Apple models are described and compared. I dont think there is any site better than this

http://www.everymac.com/

Hye guys,

I don't know if this is ok to ask in here but I really need help. I've just bought a new MacBook and using it for work @ office. My office using a network with bypass proxy to access the internet. The Ethernet settings seems to be automatically detecting the setting but when I put in the proxy IP n Port, browser didn't detect it or don't know what but I cant't access the internet.

Any idea how to configure this?

Thanks

thx for d link bro...
but all of them shows d different in d hardware specs in comparison onli...
btw...
does is mean normal macbook is for entry specs level...
and macbook pro is for higher specs & level onli...?

The white MacBook is basic entry level @ RM 3299

The MacBook Pro series is Alu body - with higher specs , price start RM 3899 ( 13") to 15" ( RM6499) and 17" ( RM 7499)

See the exact specs at Apple store for current model : http://store.apple.com/my/browse/home/shop...ook?mco=MTE4MTU

The website details the specs very clearly

here's a simple answer

macbook (the white colour one): plastic body easy to get dirty n scratches. no firewire (u probably dont need this anyway), no SD card reader, no battery charge indicator

macbook pro 13: about the same spec as macbook white but aluminium body looks nice, easier to keep clean. got SD card reader, firewire, keyboard backlight

macbook pro 15/17: apart from the obviously bigger screen, u get more powerful CPU and GPU

unibody is just a term referring to the construction of the laptop's body. all macbooks including macbook pros are 'unibody' now.

so which one should u buy? if on a budget i'd highly recommend the MBP 13. but the macbook isnt bad either i just think the price difference is pretty much worth it
