Hi all,
just got my MBP 13" 2012 (3,699 model) last week, with a dual core i5 with 4G ram, performance wise definitely slower than my previous Dell inspiron quad-core i7 with 8GB, but think it's ok for me and still acceptable (dual core VS quad core maybe?)

Anyway, my macbook 13" hang almost everyday and I have to press power button to off & on again.

Could it due to insufficient RAM? My daily task is firefox + chrome (20-30 tabs), Mail, MAMP PRO, Coda 2, Keynote, Trillian, MS messenger, Evernote, Dropbox.

Is 4GB ram + an i5 dual core enough to fit all the purpose I mentioned? I'm thinking to get 2 x 4GB 1600 DDR3 ram to upgrade, anyone has any recommendation which brand/model is compatible with this macbook pro?

Appreciate if any comment/suggestion!

Of course, a dual core processor is slower than a quad core processor, especially if you are the type to open that many applications at the same time.

I probably will hold back a couple of months on the RMBP, just for them to clear the current batch of screen from LG(?) . Think Samsung or even Philips quality is better.

if LG is the only choice then i'll get it, but doubtful coz Apple never get only a sole supplier for it's hardware.

I'm sure you're not a mac user, if you are I'm pretty sure you won't make such statement.

I don't see how my comment is wrong though. Macs don't exactly cater to the budget conscious. Guess I'm not cool enough to sip lattes at Starbucks with my shiny aluminium laptop... anyone want to buy a 1 week old MBA?

Next time, elaborate. Single liner like your previous post usually connotates typical habits of a troll. Trolls bait their prey by one liners so that their prey extol virtues that is easily shot down by the said troll so that his points are now taken in much better light since the troll has tarnished the credibility of the prey first.

Oh wai.... rolleyes.gif

People afford what they wanted to afford.

Oh, and the whole Starbucks things, well, I don't know how things are in KL, but here in Seremban, well, most of the time the device of choice in the Starbuck here happens to be the iPad.

Hell, sometimes I feel a bit unnerved when I pull out my 13" pro amongst the sea of iPads.

Just do it. You bought it for a reason: To use it. I didn't buy my portables to use it by hiding under the table. "Be fearless in all the things you do in life, and be careless about what others say and think about you".

Sad that these days your usage in public depends on what the rest of the public uses. In that case, all the jealous Tin Milo....ermm, I mean Proton car drivers dictates what should be around them and unnerves the single BMW driving past them.
