oh ic!
thx for the explaination~

but how about if running application like photoshop, aperture and some video editing software?
will it better if i have 8GB ram?

it should run smoother with 8gb

My advice is do what ever that you need to do on MBP..
Monitor the RAM usage.. If always reach the max then you should got for upgrade

Thanks for answering for me.
btw, yesterday I did my sound design assignment it reached 5.5GB of usage

posted this before, guess it deserves an encore :P

Wow.. Thanks for the link.
On my MBP shown 0 bytes on page outs

I'm looking to get MBP 15'' at student price, does Machines offer student price ? Or would it be better to get through online store ?

Machines doesn't offer student price.
The best way is get from online store.
Unless you're from MMU or Limkokwing student you can purchase from their on campus store

Thanks for the info.
I tried checking out the MBP at online store and it stated 3 working days delivery for it. Is it really that fast ?

Did you customise it?
If yes, usually it take 5 to 6 normal days to reach your door step.
In my case, 5 normal days.

thx for sharing~

Cool then what about without customise ? Will it be faster ?
Plan to get with 8GB of RAM

Yup. Will be faster.
RAM can upgrade your self.
I upgrade my RAM at All IT

So if I get normal, how much for 2X4GB module ?I understand 4GB means 2X2GB it come with. Any recommend for type/brand ?

i some question.. and sorry if my questions are too noob..
i'm very new to Mac..

1. is the RAM use in Mac is same as the RAM use in PC notebook??
2. is there any different if i choose to upgrade the RAM directly when i place order online, or i upgrade later after sometimes if i feel that the mac is slow?

4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB [Add RM 670.00]

3. above are the options when i place order in apple store online.. so im wondering, how many memory slot is there in a Macbook?? if i choose 4GB (as above 2x2GB), doest it mean that if i upgrade to 8GB later i need to take out the 2x2GB RAM??

sorry again for the noob question.. haha..
and thx in advance..

I understand that if you get upgrade RAM when purchase then warranty covered, if upgrade yourself then warranty not under them.

For slots I believe only 2

When I upgrade 3-4 months ago is RM 250.
I'm using kingston 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3x2

1. is the same.
2. Er.. should be same?
3. There 2 slots in MBP. Yup you need take out the 2x2GB RAM

As I know, upgrading RAM and hard disk won't void the warranty.

thx for reply!!
