i have this problem even with some english documents. encountered two so far. not sure why, but turning off spellcheck helps lah. u need to open word (dont open the problematic document and turn spellcheck off first. then u can open the problematic document

hm shouldn't be like that. the sound not that loud la. n yea if u insert a dvd it should automatically detect it. try open the Apple menu and do a Software Update. download and install all updates and see if the problem persist or not

do u realise ur question has nothing to do with this thread at all? wrong tab?

i think all u need to know is here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/

should be accurate eh. they should pre-install Lion on all new macs leaving from the factory

but these lion macs wont be sold at resellers yet bcuz they need to clear the snow leopard macs out 1st. so u cant buy the lion macs right after the lion launch

oh ya forgot about the included dvd. my bad ;P

apart from the OS...

pros: nice screen, damn good trackpad, sturdy built quality, thunderbolt, long lasting battery. lots of cases / films if u want extra protection, can swap the dvd drive for another hard drive (mod lah)

cons: only 2 usb ports (very close to each other summore), no bluray (if that matters to u lah), no HDMI and VGA port (can support but need to buy adapters)

it heavily depends on what task are u doing. if not doing anything, wifi off, bluetooth off, low brightness n such, it'll display ~7 hrs. once u start to play a HD movie (example), then it'll go down

i agree! if got extra budget, spend on ACPP 1st. next is physical protection stuff, including a good padded notebook bag. an extra charger might be useful for some people.

from my experience the cheap ones are very blur. the rainbow effect is so severe i cant stand it. expensive ones still have the rainbow effect but not that bad. stil can tolerate la

major performance boost is a definite no maybe u wont even get any improvement at all. launch Activity Monitor, open the Memory tab and monitor ur RAM usage when u're using ur mac. if Page Out is very small (<1mb?) then adding RAM wont do anything...simply bcuz u dont need more ram.

u will only see an improvement only when u need more than ur current 4gb RAM. that's it. RAM doesnt make a computer faster, it just lets u do more stuff at the same time

look into SSD for a performance boost

no one will buy MBP if cannot do something simple as online banking

the newer ones do. that's why we have the confusion.... some newer miniDP-HDMI adapters can pipe audio but some cannot since they were built for the old no-audio spec.

er no lah, it's before that. DP can support audio since the 2010 macbook pros. 2009 n 2008 ones dont support audio

the counter shows the age of ur battery, as in how long since it was manufactured. obviously it wasnt manufactured the day u bought ur macbook, that explains why it is 8 weeks

so yes it is normal. dont worry about it

also for 95% health, or 98% health...actually it's not a big deal. as long as u take care of ur battery, it'll serve u well

i dont know anything abt battery manufacturing but this is what i think about those <100% health reading

the health reading is just how much is ur current capacity compared to the original capacity. the original capacity is a theoretical fixed number (not the actual, real life capacity), showing what is the theoretical maximum charge the battery can store based on the battery design. e.g. my battery's original capacity is 4600 mAh...i dont think there's a way to manufacture a battery that can hold EXACTLY 4600 mAh.

due to real world errors, probably material imperfection or small manufacturing inconsistensices, the final real life battery capacity, even maximum, wont be near the theoretical maximum. probably 99%, 98%. even if ur health shows 100% it's probably actually 99.7% or something. OSX or coconutbattery would compare the this real life capacity to the theoretical capacity and we get 99%, 98% etc

just my opinion lah

oh wow didnt know got >100% health haha that's new to me!

Yes can run windows xp. Something wrong with ur full stop button?

it depends on what u're doing with ur computer of course. this goes for really anything with a power source

play HD movie, full brightness, wifi n bluetooth on, speakers, sure cannot get 7 hours battery life lah

lol i bought mine at rm140, about 2 years ago

nonetheless i think it's a fantastic piece of protection for ur mbp. looks great too. mine's a bit dirty now, but if i were to get a new macbook/pro/air i'm sure gonna get another palmguard for it

yeah about that.. based on my previous experience, let me warn u early to not bend the palmguard too much when u're applying it. make sure u align properly and slowwwwwwly stick. the adhesive is quite strong, so if u stick wrong n u need to peel it off, the bend might end up as a permanent whitish crease. it's not obvious under fluorescent light but under sunlight it's very ugly

i got those creases on my 1st palmguard (this was for my 2006 1st gen MBP). i took extra extra extra care when applying the palmguard for my 2008 mbp and it looks perfect
