QUOTE(blacktrix @ Apr 7 2011, 01:18 PM) Got my Macbook Pro 15" with 1680x1050 screen about 2 weeks ago. I actually had it earlier, but on the 2nd day somehow the USB port got shorted out and the whole laptop died. Sent it back and got a replacement unit with a RM200 credit as well.... Always trust Apple Care man! yo. initially 15" was 1440px. and how long it takes for them to upgrade it to 1680 ?But yes, I find it a joy to work with...... Windows 7 performance also very good in Boot Camp and running Crysis 2 without any problems. Also, I upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM just a little while ago and its performance, especially for my music and video editing, definitely makes alot of difference. Just waiting for some Thunderbolt accessories to unleash it's full potential.... |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Apr 7 2011, 07:56 PM) the actual price is rm3699, that's it. Tq for ur info mate..looking forward to get my mbp by next week.. the rest are extras. upgrade RAM, upgrade hard drive etc. iwork, mobileme n such, well if u dunno what it is, n not sure if u need it, then dont buy hehe easy as that. if someday later u feel like u want it, then get it later on. no rush. you'll do fine without them protection plan is a bit tough. i'd advise you to get it. u dont have to buy it together with the MBP, but u need to buy within one year. because you can only activate it during ur MBP's original warranty (1 yr). when ur MBP is older than 1yr, it's not eligible for protection plan anymore. as for the matter of why you should buy ACPP, well anything that comes out of a factory have a chance to break. ACPP will cover for u for 3 years. the way i see it, it's a must for ppl who cant afford to buy a new laptop every 1 year.  |
