yes, and that is 2TB of juice inside

Mountain Lion Golden Master has been released to developers.
should be released to public in 2 weeks time

Does anyone know if one is eligible for the Mountain Lion update if purchasing a "brand new" (read stock clearance) late-2011 MBP 13"

EDIT: Think I got my answer, so long as it's purchased on or after 11th June, I should be eligible irregardless of model.

GUys, i wanna ask you all, if i purchase a Macbook Pro, can i install Windows 7 inside it ? I heard that we can boot windows 7 from an app which acts like VMWARE in Windows. Will i experience any lag if i do so ? I am planning to get the macbook pro with 8gb of RAM.

won't be laggy but not advisable if you're running heavy softwares

8GB RAM if you're using Bootcamp is plenty enough. Virtualization via VMWare/Parallels? Well, we've been through that debate/mess/arguments a few pages before, and I don't want to go there again.

If basic Microsoft office apps only it works flawless and smooth ? Ok thx for the input guys !

Word processing and productivity suite wouldn't tax the system much. Even via virtualization.

I avoid Windows altogether. There's a Microsoft Office for Mac now.

basic work only should be ok for VM with windows installed, i have tried (just test) play diablo3 inside with everything set to the lowest so far still acceptable. anyway, for microsoft words those there is mac version.
Better use bootcamp if wana use windows to play mid and heavy game / application.

So bootcamp is something like a must if we wan to boot windows in Mac ? haha

Appreciate your reply bro

not reli, depend on what you need the windows do
from what i know the most stable booting in windows has 3 option:

1. Bootcamp
Pros : your macbook can completely 100% become a window pc
cons : must restart and choose to boot into windows, also means u cant use OS X in the same time until u reboot again.
Have to isolate your hdd in to windows and Mac. example: total 250gb drive, u have to choose how much for OSX and how much for Windows, then both of them cant share the space after decided.

2. VMware fusion
Pros : can use Windows and Mac togather without restarting, can share file at OS X desktop and other drive, use around 10gb space for windows only, good for testing stuff / light software only.
Cons: will have slightly lag when loading stuff inside vm, eats lots of RAM (atleast 3.5gb), can run heavy application but will laggy, not every software from windows support vm (i heard from my colleague which use OSX too, i nvr encounter that yet)

3. Parellel desktop
Pros : somthing like vmware fusion, but this application can run at background of ur OSX, means when u double click .exe those at OS X, it will straight promt out the window base installer etc to let u directly run those thing at OS X.
Cons : I feel abit more laggy when opening and runing software in parellel then vmware fusion, so others i not reli sure..

anyway, above those is my personal experience, doesnt mean all is correct but that is my personal opinion only hehe. u may try ask other and see >.<

Apple's new Airport Express with ATV form factor is NOW AVAILABLE at Machines! I got mine at Machines KLCC. RM299.

if not wrong paralles can read windows from bootcamp partition

so you should install windows to bootcamp, use paralles to open windows by reading the bootcamp partition

only restart and switch to windows when parallels cant handle the application

2 birds with one stone

planning to get a MacBook Air... Any comment about MacBook Air? 11" or 13" better?

well my personal preference would be the 13", 11" too small

For those complaining about scroll lags and general UI lags on the MBP RD, the new Golden Master release of Mountain Lion just released yesterday to developers, have fixed that.



GM release is as close as the official release of Mountain Lion itself. Expect awesomeness for your new Retina Display MacBook Pro.
