im using a monoprice miniDP-to-HDMI adapter and it works great all the best for the bulk, u can get really good offers buying bulk from them

thats normal. it just means ur battery has been sitting around in the warehouse for a while, not fresh out from the manufacturing plant. dont worry about it

guys, i need some confirmation about something

my late 2008 15" MBP is still under ACPP and i want to claim a battery. my cycle count is 424 at 76% health. i dont really need it but might as well la right?

so that day i went to an apple authorized reseller (the only one in miri) but they say they need to send my MBP to KL in order to get a new battery, and this would take about 2 weeks. this is my only computer so that's out of the question

but they mentioned that if i can take my MBP to an apple premium reseller, they can change my battery on the spot. is this true? the nearest APR would be in brunei. i dont mind driving there but it'd certainly bum me out if suddenly they say they cant do it too

because it's not supposed to go under 80% before 500 cycles (for my model lah). i've contacted applecare and they confirmed this to me n say i can go claim a new battery

parallel desktop (win7) is pretty laggy with 2gb RAM on my MBP and i have a faster processor. not too laggy that it's annoying, but u do notice the performance go down lah. i highly suggest u upgrade to 4gb

bootcamp will be fine

pretty sure no. comes with ichat though

well parallel vs bootcamp depends on what u need. max performance is bootcamp, convenience is parallel. you CAN bootcamp 1st then use parallel to access the bootcamp system thru OSX, but in my experience (well, for fusion3 anyway) sometimes it messes up my bootcamp drivers. havent try parallel 6 yet

personally i'd go for i7 4gb RAM. 8gb is quite overkill unless u *know* u really need it. btw RAM can upgrade anytime later on CPU cannot upgrade hehe

well counter slower proc in terms of read/write only lah, not everything.

yeap! btw anyone here really using facetime ka? any reason why should i move to facetime when i have skype?

yeap2, the RAM wont flush out immediately. but if another app requires more memory, then it'll get it

well as long as u dont feel any lag then should be ok lah, no need to worry

do check if it's only laggy when u have file transfers going on. might be faulty HDD

supposedly the newer MBA comes with better SSD

but still...under 10secs.. serious ah?

i had no idea we can send fax from a computer haha

maybe the apple USB modem can do it? not sure if they sell it anymore

nope. it makes sense to store ur OS n program on an SSD n others on a separate HDD. partitioning is pretty useless

open system preferences > accounts. select ur account on the left, n go to the Login Items tab. remove whatever u dont need. just one suggestion lah

how much HDD space do you have left?

ppl already recommended you ntfs-3g to settle ur problem. if you've even googled about it you'd know it's already a free software

googled a bit abt ur problem so i guess u can try this. apparently SIMBL uses a lot of virtual memory (can u verify this in activity monitor?) so u should uninstall it

go to http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php and download SIMBL-0.9.9.zip (Snow Leopard and Leopard)

launch the installer and choose to uninstall SIMBL

apparently this works for some. i nvr did this so cant give u any guarantee at ur own risk. i dont have SIMBL running on my mac

another corsair user here upgraded in january 2010, until now no problems

im using phonedisk. image capture takes too much time to load the photos +_+

probably still need to pay rm10 for delivery of the Lion DVD. that's what happened to the SL upgrade last time

not moving when u're using trackpad, or mouse, or both?

memang not much different one. plus if u buy there, u need to use an adapter for the charger, which would be quite a hassle. unless u buy the local charger, which would be more than just rm300

nope. when it's fully charged, the charger will stop charging the battery, and the mbp will directly run on AC.

when battery is at full charge, then u unplug the charger (meaning ur mbp will run on battery again), this obviously makes u use the battery A LOT. ur battery will die early

anything abt battery, please read this page. all u need to know is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1764220

last time i got this problem, now not anymore. not sure if 10.6.7 solved it or not hehe

go buy a hdd! external 3.5" only 1TB only about rm200 now.

or go buy a stack of DVDs
