anybody already have imac core duo?
Just want to share....almost 2 month waiting.... ....
got news that now hold kat kastam because some problem...
anyone who more information here....
suffer....I need my baby....

where did you bought yours....?

ehemm....like u dont know...MACASIA..

lolx.... i thought you sendiri "import" mah....

at least masuk kastam problem, Apple Malaysia handle mah....

wait a sec.. computers are tax free. What kastam. Maybe they are just stalling for time :?

in bolehland, it's always the usual story lar....

so..no one have it yet??
hope got this month..

computer stuff are tax free... ...ilek la...kastam pun must have a work to do...

there's one guy here whom already had his iMac CD.... anyway, i heard from MacAsia that the waiting list is bloody long... stretched up to a month....

lolx....

I know your desperate feeling to play with the new toy. Me too last time before I got my Intel imac in early March after a month of waiting, bought from Macasia (One Utama). I would tell that the waiting is worth it. Its fantastic machine indeed.

Enjoy your turn.

Yeah ...I already prepaired a special place for my baby.....hope worth for it......a little dusty right now...... :

FYI, Malaysia gets their Apple products from Singapore.

Means need to wait singapore to get stock,and then send to malaysia,a long way to go.....

thought singapore already got stock?

does anyone know if its possible to upgrade the hard drive later? my budget is just enough to buy basic imac. im thinking to upgrade it after few months. i know the memory can be change easily.

herm..
CGcomputers in penang macam ada de la..

Not really, I think it probably means Malaysia has to wait for Singapore to release stocks to them... afterall, from what I hear Apple Singapore has Apple Malaysia by it's balls. Do anything they don't like and they'll squeeze it... something like that.

160GB not enough for you? I suggest you better buy an external hdd rather than upgrade it.....

i agree... 160GB not enough?! iMac is a consumer machine la... what on earth you store la...

also, your iMac can burn 8 GB DVD already... what more do u need with another HDD for?

save por*o inside there eh?

seriously, 160 ain't enough....

my hd's already more than 1/3 filled with an already stripped-down OS and other major programs installed...

Mac programs size is bigger than windows programs???

nope.... i've installed too many programs...

Must be a hard core user.....

hey guys,if you plan to upgrade from g4/5 to intel based please read this review before switchingyou might want to stick back to your current g4/5

http://www.macworld.com/2006/01/features/i...est1/index1.php

get a mac intel , if your into gaming purposes and using those i watever software out there.
if your doing graphic designing, word processing (using microsoft), the intel mac is not for you, you might probably have to wait till the universal version is realeased. Under rosetta, these software are runing merely half of the speed the g4/5 achieved.

Downside: Because of the switch to a different processor architecture, Apple needs to use a program called Rosetta to translate Mac applications that haven't been programmed to run on an Intel-based chip. The Tiger operating system and all of its bundled apps have already been ported over to run natively on the Core Duo, and Apple says that many other programs are ready to go. But the transition is not complete. During his Macworld address, Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed a new iMac Core Duo running Photoshop with a little difficulty. "Performance is not going to be strong enough for professionals that spend hours a day in Photoshop," he said. Adobe won't comment on when its Universal version of Photoshop will hit, other than to acknowledge that the software is in the works. A Microsoft product manager made an appearance at Mr. Jobs's keynote, affirming Microsoft's commitment to a timely transition, as well. We expect other developers are similarly onboard.

alamak... old story

haha, no lah, to save all the..... tv series stuff, movies, from ....torrent....
i dont know much about mac, but ive read someone here said that his HD almost full even he already uninstalled every programs because of the log file, etc etc that will accumulate.

log files can be manually purged (if you know where to find them), or they can be automatically deleted with one or more tweaks from a third-party software...

i'm will get the mac intel this pc fair if my budget not tight, still thinking for it

is the intel duo core mac mini out yet?

http://macasia.com.my/preorder/macminiintel_specs.htm

Still waiting .........Suffer everyday waiting...If not arrive yet,I try IMAC PC FAIR to release my pain.....

what are you planning to do...?

don't mind getting one for me....?

Try all those function........If have a chance I will ask when I will get If I buy with them....maybe so of reseller know something...

argh..........

read somewhere that the intel duo core can be upgraded.. i.e buy the 1.5ghz and upgrade to 1.66 ?
possible/better option ?

Issit ok if I cancle my book or give to some else...and I buy from PC Fair if there have a rebate and can get instantly.....??????

RM5299-RM608(rebate)+RM300(book free)=RM5000....issit called rebate also?

I imported my iMac Core Duo 17" from Hong Kong when I went there for holiday earlier this month... They were having a HKD1,000 rebate (that's approx RM486) or free 1GB RAM promotion. Retail price after conversion to MYR is approx RM5,000. I chosed the free 1GB RAM, traded in back the included 512MB RAM and upgraded to max 2GB for a total price of RM5,768. I think that's a really good deal. So far, very happy with my iMac... Early adopter may have to wait for more software to be Universal Binary to emerge...

Issit Good...????

RM5768 for an imac 17"....
so it's going to be REALLY expensive when i gets here...

RM5,768 for an iMac 17" with 2GB RAM... I believe you can get reasonably cheap one at the PC Fair... You could get a RM608 rebate off the M'sia retail price RM5,299. Maybe they offer 512MB trade in for the included Ram as well?

As for what I think about this Mac, I don't think it's good... It's brilliant, superb...etc... Very fast indeed with Universal Binary applications/softwares that runs natively... The screen could really blow your brains out! I've used it for 15 days now and so far, no problem with Sleeping, Keyboard/Mouse inactivity or Fan Noise as reported in the Apple Forum by some of the users in the west...

that's one hell of a deal indeed.... but it does pay a hell of a price if I were to purposely go to HK to get one....

i think what he meant was "it shouldn't be just merely good, it's brilliant"....

That's exactly what I meant... Thanks Eithanius! I believe "good" is an understatement for apple... I'd say Windows XP is merely good...

Is this duo core processor stable? I mean in the sense that there were so many software before this duo core, can we still install in this new series?

Sorry, a bit noob here

The Core Duo is very stable, for my usage, so far. I must stress that Core Duo only support properly written softwares for OS X. It's a pity for those who wanted Core Duo while still need to use previous Mac OS apps i.e. OS 9 apps. Of course, Universal/Binary Apps will run seemlessly on both PPC and Intel Mac but Rosetta technology is there, in the Intel Mac, to run previous softwares for OS X that were written solely for the PPC processor. However, there are exceptions, there are applications that Rosetta cannot run. Check out this link:
Rosetta Compatible Apps

Guess what?my imac already here...just need time ....I saw IMAC on PC FAIR today and meet the salesguy that I deal with..He reseeve one for me...already saw bootcamp at there ...really smooth and Need For Speed also really Coo l............cant wait anymore...and I also got rebate promotion so,I will take Ipod Nano....

man, i'm starting to envy you....

and i don't recall Apple Malaysia had such a high rebate on the iMac G5s last year as compared to the Intel counterparts now....

Time is changging......

lolx.... will there be a G6....?

erm... such a high rebate... if only malaysia got the same deal...

can anyone recomend me what should I buy with that rebate others than IPOD NANO 1G...???

ACPP...

Just excited with imac so install everything that never use before, like install application on my nokia too.....

Hi, I just got my imac few weeks ago, i dont know much about it since its my first apple comp.
does every new mac comes with tiger OSX cd? why i doesnt get one? if i decide to reinstall the OS, how should it be done

Yes, it should come with a Tiger OSX cd (dvd to be precise) that is native to your machine only. Meaning it doesn't ship with the retail one.

It also comes with manuals and other stuffs...., something like this....
