I have already paid for Macbook Pro 13" 2.4GHz. Wish I can afford the 2.66 one but no budget. sad.gif Still waiting for DHL but it's damn slow wei. BTW, how terrible is this heat issue everyone's talking about? I heard that if you don't use certain programs, then it won't be that hot. I wish there are more USB ports. Three would be great.

There is no perfect notebook. To me the poorer build just means I have to take better care. The vaio is infact a very good notebook except it run windows 7 as I am basically on macs.

mac is more powerful huh?

im not a mac user, but still, as far as i know, mac os wont be affect by most of the existing virus (perhaps all)... correct me if im wrong...

Yeah, quite true. No many, but there are still some virus out there that can attack Mac OS. Just a few hours ago, when I inserted my friend's pendrive into my mac os, straight kena virus already. so I have to use Sophos but I don't think it's good enough. I would much rather use my Norton(don't waste it mah) but there's some reviews saying Norton's not good for Mac users, Norton's only good in Windows.

However you can install it in the Windows OS ( if you have installed  it) on the Mac.

erm...what do you mean? LOL. I know cannot use exe in mac. so, I was trying to find a download link that's compatible with Mac .dmg. But, I can't find.

You can use your present Windows Norton ONLY in Windows OS. So if you want to use it, installed example  Windows 7 on your Mac via another interface - bootcamp, or VMWare Fusion or Parallel. Then you have dual boot system in your MAC.  As far as I know Norton doesn't have any anti viruius solution for MAC OSX. Infact there are very few such solutions. You can google for Mac anti-virus  software if you really need it

I was suprised that you mentioned you immediately has virus - this is indeed very rare

yeah but sadly I just got it just now. Some runddl thing. Sorry not really good in Mac and computing. BTW, I was checking out this Front Row app and I couldn't play the trailers. I have no idea why. The video just load but it doesn't play. I pressed the play button, the spacebar but it doesn't work. What should I do?

@akaneikegami
rundll only affect windows (since windows use DLL files). Don't think you're infected with viruses from windows.

About the trailers, can you play them in safari? Go to www.apple.com/trailers
*
oh, so if the sophos detected the rundll thing, I just ignore? Because I am scared it will kena my files. Oh, I can play it on Safari. Because there's the play button there but Front row don't have the play button, so I don't know what to press to play it. Any idea?

i hear this and see this all my time, the number of people abusing the students rates are even higher. typical cheapskate mentality

because they don't need any verification that's why. they should students scan their student card, IC etc. I buy at student price because I am indeed a student and I have to pay for my Macbook Pro myself. sad.gif

Sent my MBP last Monday to VR Tech and was told that it will be ready by Friday .. no call from them, so I called them up today .. and guess what, the girl who picked the phone said that the could only checked my MBP on Friday (I've told them that it needs HD replacement on Monday when I sent the MBP).. and she told me that it will take another week or so for the HD to be sent to Singapore and the replacement to be sent back to VR Tech. Adoi.... but she gave me a solution, get myself a new HD first, they'll replace the HD with mine.. and when the replacement HD arrive, they'll call me up to pickup the HD. So, got myself a 500GB Hitachi 7200rpm and will go down to YKS tomorrow .. 30 mins was the time I was told for them to replace the HD. The girl said they're outnumbered by number of repairs need to be done.. I wonder how bad Apple products now when it will take them more than a week to get fixed (and me w/o the MBP).

my goodness. so long. 1 week is insanely long. Maybe not all so teruk one la.

i bought mba online store for RM3993, but why my credit card statement charge me RM4024.94 rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
is this normal?

you better check it. normally it won't charge extra. I bought my mbp for RM3599 and it charges exactly that. if you are sure it's stated 3993, contact apple or your credit card company.
