Just bought my MBP 13" i5 yesterday. I did charge last night about 8-10 hours. For now, at the top bar, the battery duration vary from 4-7 hours in 10 minutes.

Is this normal for new MBP? Maybe need several charge cycle to make it accurate?
*
the reason is because its still new, give me a few charge to settle down
your brightness setting and usage plays a part too

Hi anyone,

Appreciate it if somebody clarify me on the difference of Macbook US set vs Malaysia set.

This is my common finding.

Both are covered by international warranty (provided buy from authorized shop/trusted people)
Almost same hardware/cable/accesories.

Do tell me if any pro and con buying either one.

P/S: Seeing some forumer sell Macbook i3 model for RM 3150. (Retail Malaysia is RM 3699). Very mouth watering rclxm9.gif

Thanks
*
only difference is the adaptor, one is 2 pin and the other is 3 pin

I am planning to Get a Macbook Pro 2011 15" which is better the 2.0 GHZ or 2.2 GHZ plus just say I install Crysis 2 on my Macbook and play will it be Laggy on the 2.0 GHZ model?
*
it wont be laggy, crysis is demanding on the processor not graphic card.
but surely running it on the 2.2Ghz model will be smoother

Thx  rclxms.gif
I went to the Machines office at Northpoint
It was RAM problem but need to leave my laptop there for 2 days to do hardware test
but I need to use my laptop daily for school works so that I can't leave it there
and also quite travel to MidValley just to collect and go back there few days later.
At first they insist leaving my laptop there
Then I told them just replace the RAM for me I will go back to do the hardware test next time.
So now Im able ti online with my laptop! icon_rolleyes.gif
*
you they replaced the ram for you?
without doing hardware test? rclxms.gif

Yeah but need to wait for the stock.
They did a simple test which took about 30 mins then proven to be RAM problem
The RAM has to be shipped from SG so as you mentioned took about 5 days.

After taken out one of the RAM my Chrome don't crash! =D
*
so what ram are you using now? hmm.gif

I think apple will only change your battery, and you have to be really lucky if they choose to do that

how do they change the batt? does it take a long time? btw my batt was 98 when i checked istat nano . but after i checked on coconut battery it was 95
*
You have to send it to service providers.
They will check and if your unit is claimable then they will send it to apple for the warranty.
It takes max 7 days..
Bu for your case its really rare that they will change the batt.
This is because I heard there is a policy that apple states unless your battery last for less than 1 hour then you will be eligible for an exchange

guys.. referring to my case last time (unable to put my MBP to sleep).. now i am facing this problem again.. after i call Apple Care, this is the solution:

1) i need to do a reset (shut down, then press shift+ctrl+opt+power) when i face this problem..

2) he recommended me to restart my mac at least once a week..

so i would like to ask u guys... how often you guys restart your mac? with your answer, i hope to know how heavy is your usage too biggrin.gif

thanks a lot!
*
Seldom restart unless I've installed updates or softwares that requires me to restart

Light usage, browsing.
The most processing power is needed for me when I convert videos.
That happens few times in a week
