@BRY7,
I don't think we need any congratulatory post each time a topic is open tongue.gif

Also, I don't think it's very necessary to have the link of the Apple Online Store in Post #1 but if @stringfellow wants to include it in, I've no problems.  The thing is - I don't see Y people just can't google it - it's not like the Apple Online Store link is hidden, right? tongue.gif

i was referring to this:

Is it necessary to apply a screen protector onto the MacBook Air?

Came across with the iVisor Air anti-glare screen protector by moshi.

if you're worried about it getting scratches, don't worry it won't happen.
but if you find the glossy screen annoying, keeps on seeing reflection of yourself on the screen.
then get the antiglare one

I've got the urge to change my 2010 MBA to the 2011 MBA. Flash storage temptation. Lol. I've been thinking, should I or not? Any recommendations?

off topic, but intel will be bundling water coolers now with their sandy bridge chips apart from the stock air cooler we've seen since forever.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Intel-San...ling,13666.html

wonder if this would break ground for stock water cooled laptops in the future. while highly unlikely, still something to ponder upon tongue.gif

its for desktop processors right?

I have a question regarding the MBP 13". I've read some comments from users that the MBP heats up easily when opening few applications. Is it true?

I've tested my friend's MBP and I don't feel anything sweat.gif
*
not valid, it rarely gets hot if theres ventilation.
if you're sitting the MBP on your laps or bed then surely it will heat up

Guys noob question here. How come after I close all the apps running but my free memory are still 2GB? I'm using MBP 4GB...
*
when you close it, Active Memory transfers the memory to Inactive Memory.
this feature ensures that if you decided to open the closed app again, it will be faster.
but if memory is needed for other applications, Inactive Memory will be free to accommodate the app you open.
this is the beauty of Mac OS X biggrin.gif

Just for enquiries. If a macbook is using 1066MHz and i bought 1333MHz instead, does it need to clock it down manually? Or it will clock down automatically?
