Anyone already bought it from the Apple online store in Malaysia ? How long is the shipment ?

From what I heard the online store not working on weekend?

Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display is coming out August - October time frame. Will wait for that rather than buying a huge 15" which I don't really utilize the extra powerful graphics and humongous screen size, can use thunderbolt display for that smile.gif

Look at all the oversea forum, All other sizes will not be coming with RTD

2. Mac goes by charge cycles. so its either you plug in to the Magsafe or let the battery run low before recharging

you could set it to prompt for password each time the display wakes up from sleep - something you could initiate either automatically or via hot corners.

I've always plugged my apple notebooks and used it straight out of the box on first charge since my first apple notebook which was a PowerBook.

i see, btw, i saw few of my friend's which they just charge their macbook until full power, then unplug and use until low power then re-plug and charge + use until full power and repeated few times a day blink.gif
is that the correct way of using mac ? or just plug in the power when using then unplug it when shutdown ?

all lithium based batteries have charge cycles.

the "proper" way to use your battery if you're near a power source is to keep it plugged in, with a recalibration done every month or so.


useful links.

you can do that also, but will damage your battery in the long term.
as for me, i leave it plugged in when I'm at home.
it won't continue charging once the light indicator turns green

i thought the correct way of using every built in battery laptop is to drain the battery inside and charge it only when it reaches the bottom, and plugging the power even it full will damage the battery itself, isn't it?

Standard Maintenance

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
