@terrytay2009 Mac batteries cannot be removed anymore. so that's one thing, the other thing is that when fully charged, a Mac runs off the adapter, not the battery. so don't worry about running it down.
Yes, you should remove the charger and 'exercise' it at least once a month.

the smaller plastic head is not grounded ... its been discussed here before. if you're getting the mild electric discharge, then use the long cable.

@ecvk not exactly. for security, your Windows XP has read-only access to your Macintosh HD. why don't you start up in Mac OS & clean it up there?

@gzavincent you answered your own question.
@ Isaac Chong check what connectors your TV has. usually, LCD TV, you'll need to get miniDisplayPort to VGA.
@beyond the aluminium itself is part of the design smile.gif

@grazvincent does the CPU drop back to normal after the disk is erased? if not, then you'll need to go looking some more...

@ dvlzplayground without TRIM support, the SSD can't manage its own space. go read the wiki smile.gif

RAM isn't SSD, RAM needs to be constantly powered to keep the data smile.gif

@david890701 yes it does get slightly warm. that's why Apple advises notebook users to use their portable on a firm, solid surface, not your lap )

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.

@miaka_tama that's a firmware upgrade. usually, you just need to tap the power button (~1 second) and your Mac will power up.
