thanks. seriously i didnt complaint a thing and just it crash for 2 times today which i duno why.. then he started all this =='
i remember i didnt see any thing that say mbp cant use so many ext stuff, mbp must this and that...
because i know i going to use more ram, so i get the 16gb haha.

anyone here bought the latest New MBP Retina? Cuz i'm from sabah. Just wanna know Retina MBP arrived in M'sia or not? still waiting.

the crashed was caused by chrome i supposed , your using that right?

i think most probably. just got my MBP last week and already crashed 3 times. did some research and found out it was chrome after all.

Because you're bringing the Windows mentality if doing things when the Mac OSX workflow and common sense costs you less money and more efficiency?

There is a better way of doing things. And costs lest performance hits on your machine compared to the sloppy way of you doing it currently. Sure, I can get a message sent via snail mail/post but who does that anymore when it's more efficient to either just text, email or bloody voice-chat via teleconferencing?

You can get away with 8GB RAM without running VMWare Fusion and going via Bootcamp instead. The end result would be the same, you'd get the job done, but it's like you going to the supermarket on a noisy,gas-guzzling, smoke belching lorry, when you can do the same thing riding a Nissan Leaf or Prius without spending much and with improved fuel/cost efficiency.

By all means, do what you want. In the end, no specs will be enough for you coz you do things the inefficient way (More Ghz, more RAM,etc) instead if packing those work flow within efficient work cycle.

I learnt to do things "the hard way" too coz I'm taught the ways of Windows but when Apple provides better execution and efficient ways of doing things, I'm willing to learn those work flow and abandon the slow, clunky, inefficiency Window ways. I still use Windows for games though, coz in the flip-side of this, Windows does it better in gaming than Macs. Just don't bring the old Windows adage (more gigahertz, bigger the number the better) when using a Mac. We've moved beyond pure Ghz numbers in processors and gone into improving cite processor efficiency cycles at lower processor frequency.

I'm providing my own side of how I compute on my Mac. If you still want to carry on with that Windows adage, be my guest. *shrugs*

few of us here already using it (i am using it too ^^) there are in malaysia already but not sure where have stock.. for demo unit almost whole klang valley machines have it, lowyat also have alot demo unit cos i just went there ytd, but they have no stock, need preorder..

yea i was using chrome canary and the windows live messenger for mac (this messenger is like bug bug 1 ==') that y i am suspecting is one of them haha. when it suddently white screen, i also not sure what to do, just saw somthing like ask me press any key to restart.. then i press it to restart then everything back to normal >.<

Yup. It's like saying I ordered an 8GB Retina just to surf and play music. That's the analogy. Sure that's his own money, but championing "more RAM = always better" does not always apply in all cases.

In the end, yes it's his own money. In not calling him out on how he spend his money (God knows how much more cavalier I am with my own expenditure), I'm questioning his work methods and how he utilizes that MBP RD he just bought.

Ic ic, so envy you. i sold out my macbook unibody late 2008. Now waiting for the stock for new MBP retina. How is it? nice to use? any comment for me

The Chrome/Chrome Canary causing Mac crashes news was a few days back. It was out on Engadget, Gizmodo and picked up by other tech-related websites. I suggest subscribing to their RSS feeds and keep up with the news. Google even admitted on the memory leak causing Mac OSX shutdowns.

Well i know your purpose and i don't recall him saying more ram is better , just if he use that much ram like 16gb which is very much for me also , good for him.

But you know , the way you were asking him are really inappropriate, its more like a really ill-mannered questioning , like you are so unhappy that he used that way , seriously

stringfellow i keep laughing when i see ur reply lol ! let break it down like :

1. Because you're bringing the Windows mentality.....
ofcourse i am because i am using windows previously! what OSX workflow and sense, how i know ? this is my 3rd day on osx lol!

2. There is a better way of doing things......
like using the trackpad on the laptop to do photoshop ?

3. You can get away with 8GB RAM without running VMWare Fusion .....
so i will just restart my mac and boot into window just maybe to run 2 or 3 tools only? if like that there are more efficient and cost saving way, which is i just buy a cheap window pc enough, for wat i buy mbp ? the result sure wont be same because i can buy 5 to 6 cheapo laptop and play with them

4. I'm providing my own side of how I ...
yes you can, but you are the 1 who keep saying window this and window that ... while I didnt =='(you can read back those reply anyway)

Point number 3 isn't efficient if you have to carry two laptops with you. Efficient is the keyword here, remember?

I don't use my Ferrari just to drive it to the wet market to buy fish. I use my reliable Nissan Leaf. Sure, I can use the Ferrari to do the same thing but it defeats the purpose of doing it efficiently without costing me much of my resources. Analogous enough?

efficent means i no need carry at all, cos i can put those laptop 1 at office, 1 at house, 1 at duno where and where, super efficent ! lol just kd
we all know you are reli rich with nice car and nice gadget which all showing at your siggy there, no need keep on nagging and repeating the same thing here, if you got the 8GB, then live with it, do all your "efficient" way to make 8GB more "efficient" for you.
while 16gb for me , i am very happy with it ~ i belive next time once i know how to make the ram on OSX more "efficiently" i will surely can make good use of the 16gb ram

I have similar situation too ill been thinking because i just ordered the normal 256 gb , ill of course install bootcamp but sometimes im just too lazy to use bootcamp to watch ppstream with my gf , so , what im thinking is i'll just use some window-virtualization tech(i dont knw what its call) that allows me to use pps , but when im feeling like playing games, then ill boot to window

Ppstream is just a small application , i dont think booting to window is called efficient
since my mac is capable to handle it , why not?

off topic : anyone knows any good food in ss2 nw? kinda hungry bt dont wanna drive so far

window-virtualization tech <-- we call that VM, virtual machine ^^ i am using vmware fusion. seriously this is a very light version of vm, bootcamp surely usefull on playing game ^^ but i also only have 256gb hdd, so i just give up on that and live with vmware

edit: to your off topic, mcd is the best XD

This post has been edited by FishnChipx: Jul 2 2012, 11:08 PM

Is there anywhere that use a window application without booting up window in Vm? i want to used a edited version of pps that arent avaiable in mac

More off-topic: Mcd nt healthy and oh yeah subway hehehe

This is getting WAY out of hand.

Let's get back to discussing the joy of owning a Macbook Pro and/or Macbook Air

yup, when u click open an .exe programe or any window files or let say right click a jpeg and choose open with "paint", it will promt you and ask want to open that in windows, if you click yes, then the vmware will kick in and start it self ^^ ofcourse u can manually open that too ^^

There was a pps apps for Mac...I watch pps on osx...no need boot into windows

i knw bt mine ver can watched all the vip one lol..all the good movies are in vip
