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

Thanks for your advice. smile.gif

How can I pick Malaysia as my country when setting up my Mac? There are only Western countries available.

EDIT: Solved.

Seeing many people saying they won't revert back to Windows after using Mac. Why is it so?

Try using it for some time, say a week or so then you'll know what we mean. You experience the best UX no matter from the OS or the software itself.

I'm also finding myself using shortcut much more often than I would in Windows. It makes me much productive. Windows has a very huge software base (pool) and sometimes it's just hard to find the right one that cater to your job.

its the handiness of the OS in doing daily task

also got people after using mac revert back to windows..its up to person which one more convenient for use..

Yeap I love the gestures and smoothness, though I noticed some lag after updating the software to 10.7.2. smile.gif

But usually I'll use my Windows desktop at home. But when I'm outside, Mac is the way to go! biggrin.gif So light and elegant for a laptop!

I've changed the font on Safari through Preferences, but the existing font remains the same. Any solution?

Yeah, you can purchase it at a student price. No verification is needed for the student pricing.

Bored with my iPad, feel like buying the Macbook Air 11" to replace it. Wanna try out Mac OS. Should I?
*
Depends on your usage. If you wanna do some surfing, play youtube videos and other basic things, I reckon you should stick with your iPad.

Okay will try, thanks. smile.gif

You can set the minimum font size. For occasional zoom, press ^ + scroll up/down.

How to set? I tried to change the font size through the Safari settings but it doesn't work on LYN forum. hmm.gif

Safari might not have the setting. But Google Chrome does. However if you insist on using Safari I think there might be Extension for that.

Okay okay gotcha! laugh.gif

Have Chrome installed already! smile.gif

To set minimum font size in Google Chrome:

Go to Options -> Under the Hood. Under the Web Content category, select Customize Fonts button. Just slide the scale from tiny to large in the Minimum font size section.

Done! Thank you very much! smile.gif

May i ask how to get those student price discount? Are they going to accept local uni only? Thanks!

Even if you're not a student, you can purchase it at a student price through the online store. They will not ask for your student ID card. icon_rolleyes.gif

When I delete mails from the default Mail app, those deleted ones will still appear in my hotmail inbox when I login through the site. How to make them sync?

Is it normal that the fonts are a bit blurry on chrome and safari for macbook air? I'm on 1440x900 btw.

I have tried MPlayerX and MPlayer OSX Extended. Clearly MPlayerX beats the latter, but is there any player better than the MPlayerX? Could feel the lag and delay when using it sometimes.
