QUOTE(andyfriends @ Oct 13 2012, 12:22 PM) Oh right. Can I apply for the membership online? The stupid reseller worker did not inform me this when I enquired about the Microsoft package few times on desperate days and attended by separate promoters If my birthday is next month, it is advisable for me to apply for a membership right now? Any expiry on the points and RM50 voucher as I only plan to get the extra protection next year. Why do u all Buy the Mac from online instead of getting from the shop and thus can get it on the spot? Can advise me on the charging issue which I raised that-whether do we have to plug in the cable everytime even if we r at home and the batt is full? Or once full, detach and recharge it when batt is empty? Worrying about the batt lift span. Added on October 13, 2012, 12:27 pmThis is nice. From where? How much? Fit fit a? If after putting in the hard case then can't fit in anymore? Ordered from netherland, including shipping around 500. Its genuine leather so it does stretch i would imagine if u got a hard case and put it in it will adjust.

I want to get the portable kit lol Added on October 16, 2012, 10:17 amSit back guys, 13" RMBP is probably confirmed to be announced along with iPad Mini on next week event. http://www.macrumors.com/2012/10/15/more-c...ks-media-event/http://www.macrumors.com/2012/10/14/13-inc...ini-in-october/Kinda disappointed they using integrated graphic for the 13 inch.

QUOTE(liangshu17 @ Oct 16 2012, 07:26 PM) Between MBA 13" and Dell XPS13.. which one would you choose for an ultrabook? my budget is about RM5k and use for my work purpose mainly. never use Mac before but like to try one, however it's pricey compare to XPS 13... In terms of spec the air is definitely better even the base model. The XPS is still using older processor while the air is updated with the latest ivy bridge. Shape i personally find the dell a bit too dull. Maybe u should drop by a dell and apple showroom and compare them? If u bootcamp u can use the air just like a normal pc as well.

QUOTE(erymanthus @ Oct 17 2012, 09:37 AM) Hi sifus, After I use Bootcamp to run Windows, can I undo the Bootcamp process? Thanks, first time Mac user here. U mean wipe the win partition? If u mean that then yes. It's best to do a time backup first so u can just restore to a clean setup. Added on October 17, 2012, 11:52 amQUOTE(xproc @ Oct 17 2012, 09:44 AM) even the mba i brought yesterday comes with lion installed.. I though u get a free mountain lion upgrade when u registered? My retina came with ML preinstalled but my friend one didn't and he got a code for free upgrade after register via email. This post has been edited by kevink82: Oct 17 2012, 11:52 AM

QUOTE(andyfriends @ Oct 17 2012, 12:13 PM) how do i know if it is a lion or mountain lion? looking at the version? dudes here, have 2 Q to ask 1. why is it everytime when i start my mac, Excel will auto pop up (note: i did not tick restart with windows when I off my mac) 2. backup-everytime when we need to do a backup, we just click back up and the system will auto detect the difference between the old backup and the updated version and only update the latest version? My backup has timestamp so u can choose which one to restore to. It deletes the oldest one on ur backup drive once the drive is full.

QUOTE(andyfriends @ Oct 17 2012, 02:25 PM) I am referring to backing up say for example 1st back up is 16.10.2012. i decide to back up on 17.10.2012. When I do the back up on 17.10.2012, will the system re-back up the entire files including that of 16.10.2012 or it will only back up those portion that has changed since then? following your answer, how do we do the restoration and how to "acess" to the timestamp? Not sure i never really checked.... Just open time machine and u can c them.

EDIT: I just checked it one huge file for the backup and it is only adding wut u have modified after the initial backup cause my first backup took over 3 hrs and now it only takes 10 mins ish so it doesnt write wut it already have on the backup itself.

Consumer right act not for Asia. Even in Korea u cannot exchange or refund it unless its defected unit.
Too many ppl abuse it even in New Zealand we got a lot of ppl buying stuff just to have a play with it and return it in a few days.
