QUOTE(KKW @ Oct 15 2011, 12:01 PM) I just wondering how you all clean the mac screen.. just use the black cloth that comes bundled with the mac. i find that the most useful. unless you are willing to spend quite alot on a cleaning kit, which i dont find justifiable, i just stick to the black cloth. Any specific product you all using or just water and cloth?   |

QUOTE(Alen_Infinite @ Oct 22 2011, 11:58 PM) Just bought my new MBA 13" with full of expectation and excitement, but end up is a disappointment. I get the mac from the reseller, with 10.7.2 lion update, when i get back to home, i found that my wireless network is not accessible, with "connection timeout" error. The mac is the only device which is not accessible to the network, other PC and even iphone work perfectly. bro just curious, is this your first mac? do you have this problem with your other macs? i used to experience this problem. and i thought there was something wrong with my mac. all i did was just to reset the modem/router. my problem went away after that.Call up the reseller, reseller mention that the mac is always having problem with WEP security key. I end up changing my router to better one with WPA or WPA2 security key support. the result, it fail too. and it is the only device that not accessible to the wireless network. I am not sure on what is happening with my mac, it is still a clean one. I have spend half day fixing this, hope will get a solution on this as soon as possible. Any one of you guys experience this before ? every now and again, i do experience 'connection time out' problem but reseting the modem/router works. if that doesnt work, its probably the WEP/WAP compatibility. one of my friend had that issue, forgotten how he fixed it. good luck. |

i personally prefer the black bezel too. the silver one that comes with the anti-glare to me looks like the display on macbook airs. looks abit 'plastic-ky'. personal preference gua.

QUOTE(XiuKeong @ Nov 8 2011, 02:37 AM) One of my friend claims that the late 2011 mbp battery can last for 10hours but the website stated 7hours only. Anyone can clarify? highly unlikely. i travelled with my air 13" and i could only clock about 6hours plus with wifi + bluetooth turned on and sceen brightness set to about 5 bars. just typing. so if with wifi on and browsing with safari, i would assume it would b less. your friend tried 10hours? lol which mbp/mba?Just normal usage such as Safari only. |

QUOTE(poyol @ Nov 9 2011, 03:47 PM) anyone experiencing heat and fan issues on the late 2011 MBPs? depending on whether you are loading (heavy) flash on your firefox, or whether you are working on huge pictures on your illustrator. my fan tends to on high even if i were to just open photoshop, sometimes. I have a late 2011 15" MBP i7 2.25ghz and my fans are constantly around 2500rpm - 4000rpm I only have Firefox, Illustrator, iTunes and Tweetdeck running... is this normal? |
