Basically, yes thats what i do. But since u're going to use at home, it's no harm to switch on the plug and use all the while.

i read from the previous post from you guys 'insulting' the 13" mbp with the heat issues. Frankly speaking, i nvr had any prblem with heat on my 13".

Yes yes, 13" have a lower specs compared to 15" obviously. I get that.
But the reason why i go for 13" is because its lighter than 15". I love small, compact and easy to carry around.

I dont mind paying for 15" specs with 13" size.
get the drift? So please, 13 15 or 17, they do have pros and cons

Cheers, and happy apple-ing

u mean SSD right? i thought it is RM306 only?

btw.. how much u think the MBP 2010 15inch i7 model with hi-res screen can sell now eh? since mine is almost 1 year, instead of buying ACPP, use the money of buying ACPP + a few hundred bucks to buy new MBP will it be better? hmm.gif rclxub.gif

New MBPs are here. The 13" now available in i7! 15" are all 2.0, 2.2 or 2.3GHz quad-core. can't decide whether that's a good thing.

Slightly cheaper than the last model.

Some more got Thunderbolt. So now the external drives can have theoretically higher speeds than the internal ones. LOL.

Dumb Mac user here need some advice.

Should I keep my 2.8Ghz 2core i7 or get rid of it and get a 2.3Ghz 4core i7?

The most CPU intensive stuff I do is probably Gaussian Blur in Photoshop and some h264 video encoding.

Other stuff I noticed:

Apple prices for the 256GB SSD is actually not too bad.

FaceTime-HD! RIP, iSight.

Larger trackpad, nice, I guess.

Thunderbolt, bet the peripherals' prices will be thru the roof. Max speed 10GBit. That's faster than the internal HD. Anyone know if the internal SATA are 3GBit or 6GBit? Chipsets for Sandy Bridge CPUs should be 6GB right?

Any opinions on the discrete AMD card?

Longer battery life is always welcomed. (oh no, shorter battery life, because of the quads I guess)

And a little bit lighter too. I think. (nope, maybe not)

Soonwai, since you've just got yours, I don't think it is worth to get the upgraded MBP unless you can unload your to some with a bit lost of money. The upgrade I guess is more to those buying to replace their outdated MBP (like me hehe), if I were you, I'll be hold on to it until Apple comes up with totally new redesigned MBP which I guess will be out end of the year or next year. I'm not going to replace my C2D 2006 MBP just yet, it still have pretty more years to go.

hi bros, im wishing to purchase the new mbp real soon!
but i need advice whether to upgrade the RAMS from apple store or upgrade by my own?

and is it worthy to up the 750GB HDD to 128GB SSD, which means ill have much lesser memory by 622 GB to use?
the 128GB SSD is now at an additional RM305 only compared to 240gb SSD at almost 2k.

and does our mbp overall performance count by memory (RAMS) + types of drive (HDD or SSD) or
does the amount of space in your drive affects the performance too?
