i cant install bootcamp at all since upgrading to lion. at best, can install, after installing the drivers, attempt to restart and cannot boot into windows :S always got some file missing or something

u still should install antivirus in windows in bootcamp. it wont affect ur OSX stuff if u dont, but ur windows stuff can still get infected

or panasonic toughbook

yes. a 3.5" external 1TB hdd right now is just about rm200. im sure whatever u will have on ur mac will be more valuable than that

oh ya, forgot about the price hike. so how much is a 1tb 3.5" ext HDD nowadays? i guess still less than rm300?

grizzlyaddam may i ask what exactly are you going to upgrade? if it's the hard drive, adding rm300 for just a 250gb increase is really not worth it. not to mention it will prolong the shipment, and it's something u can DIY for much cheaper and faster. i'd say just get the stock model, no point getting a customised mbp 13". 15" different story lah

for about rm300, i would get a 1tb external 3.5" drive for time machine and file storage purposes. u end up with total 1.5tb storage, double than that 750gb.

another option is to spend ~rm130 for 8gb ram, and save up until u can afford the applecare protection plan (rm800)

i just refer to the czone pricelist. it's dated 27/8 though. i have no idea what's the price right now, sorry about that

oh dont forget a good, padded laptop bag

u mean u're getting the moshi palmguard? it comes with trackguard as well, no need to buy the texture is rougher, but i like...more grip doesnt effect the performance at all

personally i think the palmguard is a good buy. i've been using it since 2008. just be careful when u apply, dont fold too much. later it will have this ugly white crease

yeap price drop rm800 for mbp13" la

rm1.2k. just rm100 discount only, better than nothing

holy crap i thought u were talking about the 13" one. rm849 for 15" and 17", damn haha very nice discount there

youtube got a few tips

not sure if this works: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?stor...111107064435227

IINM the minimum used to be 1.3x the internal hard drive, but i suspect it's no longer that way

easy answer? up to you. obviously it has to be at least as big as how much do you want to back up. u dont have to backup everything, u can select what NOT to backup. i excluded my Downloads and Movies folders since they're huge and not that important.

the bigger the drive, the further back in time you can travel

i tried it maybe 3 years ago, the performance suckeddddd. but if really need it then just use lah, u dont lose anything

can use google docs also

earliest u can get ivy bridge is around 6 months from now. so IMO buy now also can, wait also can

mbp13 i5 and i7 is rm900 difference eh.. add a bit can get vertex3 120GB SSD yummy2 hehe

no no i mean the price diff between i5 and i7 model is rm900. rm900+ can buy 128gb SSD vertex 3 or save rm600 for the slower vertex 2 model hhe

have a look here bro: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/

basic stuff like this you can easily find online

maybe the pic is flipped?

the new one just have a very very very very small difference bro. dont be sad

yes just use, can use while charging. it's already 2011 even if u're too lazy to read the manual, i highly suggest u read this ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/176422...hreadID=1764220 ). im tired of seeing so many new mac owners ask about battery care

black glass bezel is glossy, silver aluminium bezel is antiglare.

antiglare one have to customize bro. u need to specifically say u want antiglare and pay extra. if u did it, i doubt u forgot it. if u didnt, no chance u have antiglare

ah good that u did

LOL typo there. anyway that's new to me. never saw one before. i wonder how much can sell on ebay haha

about the boot up thing.... disk utility, repair disk? also check in system preferences > accounts > login items, maybe too much. that being said, mine takes about 1min to get to the login screen, is that bad??

wahhh dont compare with macbook air bro. special SSD dont challenge la

even u upgrade ur mac with SSD also still probably a few seconds slower than macbook air

vmware more convenient

if u dont need it too often, maybe u should put the windows virtual machine on an external HDD to save space on ur MBA

VMware is just an app. using vmware u need to create a virtual machine file (extension .vmwarevm) for windows. this file is going to be huge, my winxp pro 32-bit virtual machine file is 17gb.

so u can save space by saving this .vmware in an external drive. when u wanna use, just plug in ur ext hdd and open that file

speed would be slow of course

samsung one is faster

when did u buy yours? all MBA now come with samsung, or some samsung some toshiba?
