p/s : this is NOT illegal or what..Its a giveaway given by Digiarty Softwares.

yes you can. juz buy any external hdd, partition it to fat32 and hfs+

well, i prefer u use bootcam to install win7

anyone know where can i buy the previous generation macbook pro?

just wondering, why get the previous generation instead of the latest ones eh?

why u wan to buy previous version macbook pro? i wanna sell mine, interested?

Lol,bcos it will b cheaper is it?
I'm aiming the 15" 1xd
But the price is 2 expensive to me

guys...

just wanna ask....did anyone here got same keyboard problem as mine?

it seem my mbp's keyboard not working while it booting (i cannot press the option keys to choose my OS)

i try press the caps lock keys to test so i know its working or not cause of its lights...but the key never lights up until the OS is fully loaded

anyone have the same problem?

try go to lot 10 machine. they usually got old version/refurbished macs there selling at a cheaper price. hope this helps u

how previous gen you wan?
the batch before i series processors?

to be honest, get a new one, serve you better, cuz clearly, 15" mbp users must be quite a performance demanded.
buy old tech could serve you 2 years? then 2 years later another one?

unless you're not into performance, else go for new one

ask u all one question..

lets say if u let ur mbp on for 12hours,how u all charge it?

plug the adpater for the whole 12hours?

or charge until 100% then unplug..use until 5% charge again until 100%..

which one

Do you somehow have setup the open firmware password? More information found here:

If yes, it will disable some of the key combinations during bootup.

I plug the adapter on for the whole 12 hours. Actually, I plug in 24/7. I only switch off my mbp every 2 to 3 days. And I calibrate the batts once a month. Once a week I would take my mbp to the couch and surf internet without the power adapter.

i have the same approach as JohnnyBeGud

what you're doing is unnecessarily using up ur battery. more cycles = faster your battery will wear out. dun worry too much abt battery lah, juz keep it plugged in whenever it's convenient for you. as long as u calibrate it once a week or fortnight u'll be fine. my MBP is almost 2yrs n im pretty satisfied with my battery life so far.

ntfs-3g is horribly slow, so im wondering if any of you can compare between tuxera and paragon? i've been reading a few reviews online n it seems that paragon is faster but less reliable. this might be outdated so im hoping if anyone here can share their insight

i've also stumbled upon enabling native ntfs support in snow leopard for each mounted ntfs drive ( http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?stor...090913140023382 ). but then you need to deal with terminal so probably this ( http://ntfsmounter.com/ ) is a better idea. anyone tried these two before?

or should i just start a poll?

me 2... i'm always plug on when i'm home but when i leave my room or my house, i would unplug it and use the battery.
but i only calibrate my battery once a month, is it enough? or should i calibrate more often eh?

@gurus
read n practice what is explained here

Thanks!
Gonna go buy a hard disk from digital mall today. Just wondering. WD Passport vs WD Essential vs SeagateGoFlex ? Any known for being more "mac-friendly" if any.

no difference... just plug in to your Mac, n let Time Machine do its magic

Bought a 500GB WD elements.
Partitioned. 200GB for backup(time machine) at Mac OS Extended(Journaled) and 300 for storage FAT32.

better leave the adapter connected. if u let the battery drain, it is going to eat up ur cycle count hence make ur battery depleted faster.
