life-span? i got a friend using MBP from 2008 ... more than 2 years.

if you mean replacement cycle, its typically around 9-11 months.

yup yup, check buyersguide.macrumors.com for more info on this...

dun care la... your battery warranty is 1 year from date of purchase. so if within 1 year, you can claim if its less than expected.

no la. its a joke, all the PC are represented with a BSOD

IINM, you'll need a mac mini to do that. cos the gfx card in your macbook is linked to the internal LCD and the mini displayport, so that's a dual-display there... even if one is powered down, IIRC, there's nowhere to connect the second display for triple-display

for accurate information on battery usage & charging, please refer to Apple > Batteries

I keep hearing bad advice about batteries... marvin, your advice is not the best so far... read the link

@elfreakz
most LCD have only one 'native' resolution, and if you use any other resolution... the image will be blur.

the native resolution is a 1:1 ... any others involve combining ... that's why its blur.

your HP 2009f resolution (according to google) is 1600 * 900 ... so go to System Preferences > Display > VGA display and select 1600 * 900 ...

nothing to do with the cables. since you have 2 screens with different size & resolutions, its impossible to mirror 1:1 ...

incorrect. according to Steve Jobs, wireless productivity (not games & not video / photo editing) ... you should get around 5 hours.

do run some battery tests, and get the technician to do a battery test.

also, recently, there's this something called the internet? www.machines.com.my www.switch.com.my www.maccity.com.my

@ gurus the use of this thread is not a spoonfeed / baby thread. its supposed to be for new users to ask new questions, not questions that's already been answered before.

@gurus well... that's true. at least he'll learn the right way, and not treat this forum as his personal army

@BlueBerry~ here's your reading material > http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

@JasonSky its not trivial to take apart, much less re-assemble a 2010 MBA, and Apple usually doesn't sell the CTO parts separately.

the MBA 2010 SSD is a custom engineered board, so off-the-shelf SSD will not only not fit, they also probably will not work.

anyone feel like spending RM5K to prove me wrong?

no la, the disc can install 5000 times, but you have only 5 licenses. please do read thru the website before asking questions, thanks.

@bzbody : that's a new one. what specifically do you find a PITA?

according to the official system requirements Windows 7 should run fine on MacBook Air 2010.

Don't forget to read thru the Boot Camp guide before doing anything.

@bzbody : www.apple.com/findouthow ... your keyboard is labeled, you know. command n option keys are on your bottom row.
