Congrats on the new thread.

Been using MBP 13" for a month and I still need to get used to some functions but the OS has been great. Easy. Quick startup & shutdown.

I'm using iWork which is a breeze to use. Unfortunately the formatting runs when I save as MS Word. =/

There's something I need help with my Mac OS.

I was wondering if it's possible to do a "cover-flow" on all the running applications/windows that I have?

Usually I just "x" or minimise them and they go to my dock, then a bit leceh to open one by one everytime. Was hoping I can just swipe the applications like cover flow or sth.

Yup, go get it. I bought the MBP 13" on the same basis and purpose. Never regret. One thing I don't have to worry is crashing everytime I try to run 3-4 programs simultaneously. A much more stable OS.

I have the same problem too. Whatmore, the 2 USB ports on my MBP are located so close to each other that the fat USBs can't be put together.

Do post if you find a reliable one. Thanks.

Well as long as you're a student you shouldn't have to worry about providing proof...

Surprised that Apple didn't ask for identification for this discount. Maybe they'd think everyone would provide fake student ID?

I guess as long as you can provide proof that you're a student/staff of an institute of learning, that would be sufficient.

The YEAR indicates when the Macbooks were released and hence, the specifications of the Macbook models... because Macbooks carry the same name throughout regardless if they're the latest specs or old specs.

So if you're buying 2nd hand, do ask for the specs because they're different.


It's like cars. You have Honda City from way back until now. All different design and specs, but all called "Honda City".

If just the normal screen protector like those on your handphone.. I suppose you can go for the normal laptop screen protectors as well.

I bought mine for just RM10 off a normal PC shop for my 13" MBP. If you lightly touch your screen every now and then then it protects well. Of course don't go and ketuk or scratch on purpose...

Don't worry it's normal for all Mac laptops...

Just let it go below 95% and it'll go back up to 100%.

I bought it using my Maybank Debit Card.. (which I use for all my Apple Store purchases). They did not ask for any identification. I am a genuine student.

I live in Subang so my laptop was delivered pretty quickly. Early by 2 days from the estimated time of arrival.

I can't remember exactly. 10 working days I suppose cos I added RAM and iWork.

I ordered online.

It is being shipped from China... how can the laptop reach in one day?

More stable and reliable. Specs - I go with what I'm happy with.

Sick of Windows crashing on me. Spent RM 3999 to buy the latest Sony Vaio (at that time). After a couple of downloads it start to lag (despite 4gb RAM and 320 gb HDD) and eventually crash after 6 months.

Spent RM 3599++ on a Mac with the same specs and it's still as fast and as smooth as the first day I bought it (7 months now).

Will never go back to Windows.
