cannot live w/o exposre n hot corners im using bettertouchtool n set 3 finger swipe down for comd+w, and five finger tap for cmd+q

mine is also around 4 hours plus plus watching movies wif wifi on. consider not bad ad.

May as well return it for a new one

Why is that so? Mind to clarify more bro?

Apple concept is having fullscreen to the best aspect ratio or kind of it. In short if the webpage you are trying to view doesn't require you to go fullscreen then clicking maximize the it won't maximize till edge of your screen
However, just drag the corners to make it go full screen and each time you launch Safari it will stay that way

Added on August 20, 2010, 11:59 pmI can get easily 6-7-8 hrs when surfing or doing light task (either on old MBP 13 or new MBP13). Things to check, Wifi, bluetooth, music/movie, brightness etc
I got around 4 hrs when watching movie etc...well who would want to see a dark/not bright movie anyway..lol

Regarding the question about external HDD for Macbook that I asked a few days ago.

I actually ended up buying a FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB

It's kinda cheap, only about RM40 extra compared to other brands. And the coolest feature is its flexibility. You can change to either USB 3.0, FireWire 800 or eSata anytime you want, provided that you have all the interfaces. It comes with a standard USB2.0 by the way.

you can download the free trial from apple website.

Hi,

What do you guys mean when you say there's no full screen on Safari? Mine looks like this.



Have you tried clicking on the three diagonal lines at the bottom right of the window and dragging it all the way to fit your screen?

As in you click on the green button on the top left, right before you do the one below...

Yea, the green little button does not bring it to full screen, it just expands big enough to show the entire webpage, so use the three diagonal lines at the bottom right of the window.

There are also reasons as to why Apple did not implement the full-screen feature... useful to me for multitasking and drag-and-drop feature...

O-I-C. Thx for the info.

BTW, if I use iWork, is it necessary for me to use MS Office? Cos' still adjusting to using a Mac and loving it every moment of it as I explore more of MBP features. I hope by reading Switch 101 - Migrate to Mac, I will learn more about maximising usage of MBP.

Added on August 21, 2010, 11:54 amU mean those 3 diagonal lines @ the bottom right hand corner of window? If that is the place, we I had tried doing it but it doesn't drag at all? Can it be there's a problem with my MBP?

Added on August 21, 2010, 12:11 pmHmm.....makes sense why Apple does this. Smart of them ppl in Cupertino. Now I understand why those former Windows users, after using a Mac, never move back to using Windows again.

and i thought i was the only one..
but after fixing the zagg it doesnt happen to me anymore..
my bro's mbp, zagg-less however still gives that static ting..

@Moutzu, try going to system preferences-->trackpad. Under the One Finger section check Tap to click and Dragging. Now go to Safari, double tap on the three diagonal lines and drag. When double tapping make sure you don't let go after the second tap. Which means tap once, tap twice and drag straight away without letting go.

btw, what is iWork purpose?like M/S Office?

Hi Howard, problem solved with your very useful tip and also thanks to Eithanius for his also very useful tip. Together with both your tips, I have now managed to expand the web page to the full screen. Now more appreciative and really enjoying using the Mac. I am now a hardcore Mac and also Apple user.

Once again, thanks to both of you. I find LYN forumers are very helpful in every topics I participate. Keep it up guys and gals.

i think you should really go through this page first http://www.apple.com/mac/ the tutorials section is very useful even teaches you to set the expose options and such.

If you are using both (Mek and windows), i'll suggest you to install MS Office.
