the next update won't be running SandyBridge already. so we have to wait for the IvyBridge to release before we will see an update

QUOTE(z3alousn3ss @ Sep 15 2011, 02:23 AM) I'm ordering mine from bruceleestore. His prices are really fantastic, but no customization available so yeah. finally decided to jump the gun and paid a deposit for the 15" low spec one That's what I thought as well. My initial concern was that I would take up gaming again after a few months if there was game that was good enough to pull me back in. All that has been settled now though. Thanks for all your input guys. Can't wait for my pro to arrive  he does have customization option. ask him about it

QUOTE(z3alousn3ss @ Sep 15 2011, 09:02 AM) haha thanks! really looking forward to it. he does, but not right at the moment since he has some older customizations that need to be done first and I cant wait any longer since my uni is starting next week. i see, so which 15" model did you order from him?

QUOTE(Stevenc89 @ Sep 21 2011, 09:02 PM) Anyone have problem in downloading apps from mac appstore? I've successfully purchased a few games including mortal combat, nova2, lets golf this morning. Just now when I try to download other free apps by clicking free > install app... Then it just stuck there... is it because there are some limitation in number of apps download per day??? By the way, Im using 2011 mba. theres no limitation. have you tried restarting? or maybe your connection is having problem

QUOTE(wiraone @ Sep 24 2011, 12:27 PM) Johnson, this won't work on newer MBAs that come with Lion. The recovery partition will not allow you to reinstall Lion via USB, only option is to download via Internet. it allows, i just helped my friend to fresh install his MBA 2011 with my self-made Lion USB

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Sep 24 2011, 05:50 PM) Please be more clear with that statement. That USB drive is the RECOVERY Lion USB drive, it helps you RECOVER your Lion, but you still need to reinstall LION by downloading them from Apple servers. Which is what wiraone was querying. This method only works if your machine comes with Snow Leopard and you are installing Lion OVER Snow Leopard. Macs with Lions preinstalled in them, like the 2011 MacBook Air or the 2011 Mac Mini, are not recoverable using this method. The Lion copy for these Macs are tied by the hardware ID of your Macs. I face the same problem when I was recovering Lion preinstalled in my 2011 Mac Mini when I was upgrading it to SSD. The CCC method is still the only way. you have to read my statement clearly too. im referring to the Lion Installer USB i made. Added on September 24, 2011, 7:43 pmQUOTE(z3alousn3ss @ Sep 24 2011, 07:15 PM) I was waiting for my Lion download to finish one day, estimated about 5 hours remaining on my slow connection when a friend walked in and created the Lion USB on his Mac. He then quit my download, and used the USB instead to install Lion on my Macbook. Only took about 10 mins to do everything. Is that what you're all referring to? EDIT : I should mention that this is a 2011 macbook pro, recently bought. yes that was what I was referring to This post has been edited by BRY7: Sep 24 2011, 07:43 PM
