QUOTE(deelern @ Nov 13 2009, 01:33 PM) @lemonie, Eh! The magic mouse looks really cool! Have u started using it yet? Is it good? Thinking of getting one, but heard that scrolling cant work in bootcamp windows xp. i actually asked the apple store technician and he said it should work fine with bootcamp if ur on mac os x.6 if ure on mac os x.5 however, u can download the bootcamp driver 2.2. however, swiping still doesnt work. im so getting mine this weekend when i get my allowances for only CAD$69 b4 tax :-) This post has been edited by MinK: Nov 24 2009, 07:46 AM

has anyone here gotten or is planning to get the SSD from apple ? i heard in terms of applications performance it doesnt improve much but start up times and booting is much shorter. and it saves batteries too since theres no moving parts.

QUOTE(ujoewong @ Nov 24 2009, 11:55 PM) Don't get SSD's from Apple. Buy only Intel X-25M Generation 2 SSD. They are the best. Provide read speeds up to 250MB. While Apple's SSD only up to 80MB. I'm using Intel SSD and I'm one happy customer.  oh really ?? how mch was it ??

QUOTE(ujoewong @ Nov 25 2009, 01:15 AM) Now around RM900 range for the 80GB unit. It's a good investment if compared to RAM or other stuff.  i was just looking around the local website and i can get an 80gb intel ssd x25-m for as low as CAD$260. thats a fairly resonable price (can even get cheaper thru chraiglist  ) 80gb wouldnt be a problem at all since all my movies, tv series and musics are all stored on my desktop. so yeah, tahnks for the recommendation

QUOTE(cRazYee @ Nov 25 2009, 04:45 AM) you really dont looks like girl inside the photo, you have fair alot knowledge in computing hardware. SSD is really great performance pack, but price wise, still expensive perGB secondly, really depends what you use for who needs 500BHP to run on road? my main priority is portability (the main reason of me getting the 13" MBP instead of the 15" or the 17", couldve gotten the 13" MBW but no firewire). so ssd is a good investment since its more energy efficient (better for battery conservation) and less fragile (since there are no moving parts).
