hi guys,
im looking for portable yet light laptop for my surfing/bussiness function. since i've already got my g73 asus laptop for desktop replacement/gaming function, so i'd like to get a something light for my bussiness purpose as i'll be travelling quite sometimes.
i know this might be wrong thread to ask LOL but yet i still want to ask.
i prefer MBP compared to MBA due to hdd capacity and price-wise.
however i've certain question before i certainly with my choice.
here's some question :
1. MBP never got any virus/keylogger/hacked at all? right? (this is most important as i'll be storing all sensitive document on my macbook soon -- as i've been hacked before on windows)
2. how lightly the MBP?
3. about the ACPP -- 1 year extend to 3 years warranty? all-inclusive warranty?
4. battery life wise?
5. MBP vs MBA -- whats the catch?
thanks

Even my first boot is really fast... If anyone is getting this HDD, please do a fresh install to experience the true performance... i thought momentus XT has some problem with macbook? because of the NAND flash thingy? no? btw, im joining the macbook pro club, proud owner of 13' 2010 mbp. any accesories that i should get? |

QUOTE(mememe12 @ Jan 9 2011, 01:44 PM) oh! so now u using safari and all those lags gone? previously i was using Chrome.. then usually i open about 20-30 tabs.. the whole mac super lag.. then i swap to firefox, i think is a bit better.. but still very lag.. especially some page got flash stuff embedded.. how about safari? mind to share more experience? thanks  for me... MOSHI palm guard is a must.. i dont stick any screen protector or case protector  thanks, already ordered. what else other accessories which is a must and cool, good looking and can protect very well my macbook pro casing? and one more thing, i want to upgrade my hdd instead of using the stock hdd from the macbook itself, any recommendation? please no SSD yet as not enough budget  |

QUOTE(borneosailor @ Feb 11 2011, 02:52 AM) oh ok, thanx bro!
Added on February 11, 2011, 3:00 amyeah, my MBP come with 4GB RAM from factory. i wanna upgrade to 8GB since i saw SSD price is super expensive. well.... to be honest im not so sure if i need 8GB... but i do play games like modern warfare 2 and bioshock(both buy from Mac App Store) and Call of duty:black ops(run on bootcamp window 7)... when i play Black Ops on my MBP, it lags a bit sumtimes, so i think adding RAM will help? how much is 8GB DDR3 1066 RAM nowadays? bro are u using macbook pro i5 or i7? |

QUOTE(il0ve51 @ Feb 13 2011, 11:34 PM) planning to get 1 mpb 13" as i am going to start my online business soon, having a laptop rather than an iphone is much more easier i guess... however, after reading http://www.macrumors.com/2011/02/12/march-...w-macbook-pros/ i feel like wait for the next upgrade as i will busy during the 3rd and 4th week of feb (exam)... so most likely get 1 after it release hmm why dont you use normal laptop to do online bussiness, just asking because you could invest the rest of $$ to improve the bussiness i guess. no offence btw QUOTE(borneosailor @ Feb 14 2011, 05:37 AM) buy from amazon? |
