Custom-To-Order.

macstudio outlets mainly in KL centre...
was told by the sales staff at machines... new MBA will arrive in 2 weeks time....

i just got my new MacBook Pro, 13'3 for not more than 1 week.
I have some questions, about the battery.

normally, i use the MacBook Pro at home for whole day.
can i just connect the Magsafe power adapter together with the MacBook Pro for the whole day? will this damage the battery?

do i need disconnect the adapter when the battery is fully charged??

Thank you

What i do to attempt reducing battery degrading is I usually discharge the battery once a week till it runs on reserve/empty and full recharge it back again. Things are bound to be worn off anyway, all you could do is reduce the wear.

u mean, calibrating the battery?

you should discharge twice a month man, you are running down your battery cycle count.

u r using macbook as well? i juz got the MacBook Pro, juz curious about the battery problems.

Dam... In dilema between Mac Mini and Macbook Pro...
Initially I wanted the iMac but since I'm going to Australia a year later to further my studies.
I would like something portable.... Help guys ><

I have a Macbook White (2006), Macbook pro 13 (2009) and Macbook Pro 15 (2009), there are no battery issues with any of them thus far,i only discharge(calibrate) once a month, use the magsafe whenever i'm at home, and when i'm at college i dont use the magsafe.

Alrite, thank you so much for the info have a nice day!

I had my original battery replaced under warranty for loss of charge. The replacement battery Apple so kindly sent me had scratches on it. I did the full discharge recharge once a month, it now says "Service Battery" and my battery only has 8 cycles on it.

one more question, how to check the battery health? or battery cycle?

About this Mac > More info > Power

Ah my cycle count is actually 14 now. Odd, I haven't unplugged it from power for about 3 months.

@ skyther,
Apple don't really give out "new" parts for warranty claim. Most of the time you will get refurbished unit. But often it's good as new despite some cosmetic flaw.

Your battery only hold 2300mAh, below 50% of original capacity, it is normal for Snow Leopard to warn you about it by stating "Service Battery". It's droppng too rapid, you should contact AppleCare.

anybody using macbook pro 13 inch here?
2.4 for 3899 and 2.66 for 4899...0.22 ghz difference but for the price there is 1k difference..what would u suggest?
and for fellow MBP users,what have u bought?

dont forget rm4899 also comes with extra 70gb hdd space. i'll suggest getting the rm3899 one and buy ACPP

i think 250gb is more than enough for me,btw,can it run windows smoothly as 2.66?

After reading what u posted, i straight away took off from my house and went to lowyat plaza to check it out.. I am definately getting one already.. Preferably the 13" 128GB SSD + 4GB Ram
