Im considering buying my first Mac.Can anyone guide me on which one is better for me.a 13inch MBP or 13inch MBA.
Im an engineering student. Sometimes i have to run some software for my project mainly on transmission line simulation.
But most of the time its for browsing internet and typing my assignments.
*
suggest you to get the 13" 2.7GHz i7 MBP, enough processing power for your engineering work

why do you want to put it to sleep?
its better to just switch it off and off the power adaptor as well.

you must have enabled messenger on your web.
it automatically signs in when you open hotmail, therefore your live messenger will sign out

FAT32. the only limitation is it cannot hold a single file larger than 4gb

another way is to format as NTFS, then install NTFS-3G on ur mac
*
If youre using it on your mac more then format is to HFS+
then get drivers for windows to run it

yes, my friend did faced the problem when something happened to his MBP and he took back to Machine. blink.gif

Yes, you're not talking to local customer service officer when you call apple care or store

actually to claim warranty, if machines unable to repair or lack of parts, they might send it to singapore for RMA instead.

but if you bought from online store, you call apple directly, and deal with them directly. you may not need to go through any local resellers/service center.

whether items bought from reseller can call apple directly for any problem then i don't know, no experiences on that. hmm.gif
*
Apple will ask you to send it to service providers.
It's the same if you buy from Premium Resellers

just curious, how are people at machines these days? i kinda dislike the ones working in sunway.

for instance, when the iphone 4 first came out it caught wind pretty quick that there were reception issues.

given that fact, i went to machines to inquire about the availability of the 3gs since i had broken mine.

"why go for older model? the iphone 4 is newer and better, what reception issue? never heard of it"

which is why i usually send my stuff to vr tech.

Those people at VR have experience.
Ones at machines are only sales man.
They don't know much unless they're managers

True, my friend is working in one of the reseller.
He know NOTHING about Mac, and now he's selling Mac product, just after few days training by the shop. rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

Yea, I myself used to work at one of the reseller.
They didn't even ask me if I'm familiar with apple products.
But honestly I have some knowledge for their products.
And when my colleagues give out false information to customers, it pisses me off

talking about false information, when i called apple care hotline, when we touch about the topic of external dvd drive for MBA, the guy said the MBA can only work with the superdrive. dunno it's sales technique or plain clueless. sweat.gif

It works, I have a friend who uses samsung on his MBA.
Could be their marketing strategy

Mac OS X doesn't take too much time to learn up, it's not that steep learning curve.. Just now still felt that the multitask is still way behind window's ugly startbar, the dock is pretty, tht's it.

MBA 2011 performance on starcraft 2 is almost the same as MBA 2010 as the review i seen, maybe 1 or 2 fps differences due to mba 2010 having a descrete graphic card

I agree with your first statement.
But people still don't want to take the risk, they think it's hard to learn therefore choose to stick to a PC
