- antiglare screen protector if u cannot stand the glare
- palmrest protector if u wear metal watch / sweat a lot. try moshi palmguard
- keyboard protector is a must if u eat/smoke in front of ur mbp. silicone types attract dust n too 'smooth' to type, can try moshi clearguard
- invisible shield / speck casing to protect against scratches
- a good, padded laptop bag
- kensington lock, make sure it's easy to use n carry. else u wont use it
- not an accessory, but i'll recommend anyway: applecare protection plan

the mbp originally comes with 1 yr ACPP rite?
Can i buy more when the 1 yr is up?
Sorry, am not so sure about the warranty thingie..

get a keyboard protector taht has ventilation holes, for me a keyboard protector is a no no, cause the keyboard is where the heat dispenses, if you cover it up then your machine will overheat.

what do you recommend? any brand?

i'd prefer to say ACPP is a must wink.gif

oh, may i add Moshi Trackguard(for your track pad). maybe it's just me, but i found out that if my fingers are not completely dry or just slightly moistened, i could not glide/swipe or perform those gesture smoothly. the glass is too smooth so i bought Moshi Trackpad, which is like a matte kinda surface. it works very well to me. the only complaint is that, it reduces the sensitivity a lil', but i'm a happy man laugh.gif

erm... does the moshi palmguard comes with the trackguard? or it's 2 different things?

Hi guys, I'm curious..

SG Online Apple Store has this promotion where you get an Ipod Touch for a Mac purchased...

Is it applicable to us? Could we order from that store and deliver to MY? Or must we order from MY Online Apple Store only?

Thx.

I wana ask...
When I'm charging my MBP, I feel the electricity shock around the edges, especially where the wrist rest area is.. any ideas?

I remember reading it somewhere but couldn't find it back on the thread.. sorry sad.gif

I'm using the MagSafe plugged with the extended cable to my power source extension..

THx.

Hey guys,

Regarding Bootcamp for Mac, can any version of Windows be installed?

Example for Windows 7, can both 32bit n 64bit work fine? Or is there a 32bit version actually? tongue.gif

Tq!

Try plugging the extended cable directly to the wall socket. Don't use an extension or adapter.
That seemed to work for me.

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.

OK so this is kinda weird. Whenever I type on my MBP, and my arm touches the edge of the aluminum unibody, I get a tiny 'electrical shock'. Like a tingling sensation. A little painful lah. But very minimal. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else and is this normal?

i'm getting this a lot!
and everytime i use my mbp with power adapter sad.gif
when i run my fingers on the spaces besides the keyboard, edges of the monitor, edges of the cdrom etc
it's sorta like something is running through..
current?

@miaka_tama that's a firmware upgrade. usually, you just need to tap the power button (~1 second) and your Mac will power up.
