Don't think there would be a 12" mbp because of airflow issues with the chassis of the laptop. Might be a macbook though.

If it's a macbook pro it might be the lame intel gma950 integrated graphics card instead of the ati discreet card.

nawww, it's not lame. as long as it serves its purpose, it's good. biggrin.gif if it doesn't serve your purpose, it's not lame either. it's because you either bought the wrong specs or you've own-grown your requirements on specs.

Yeah, I totally agree. People buy the machine for different reasons. For those who wants to get it just to look gaya when they're seated at Starbucks, I think they wouldn't wanna be spending too much $ on it.

Some has higher priority to better graphics, some wants high RAM, whilst another group of people may just want loads of HDD space. Honestly, I've only got 40GB on my working laptop but that's more than sufficient (at least for now) biggrin.gif

I think Load Runner may run a little better than Pac Man *grins* I don't know about Frogger though unsure.gif

Speaking of which, is there Minesweeper on Mac?! Seriously...

Guys. Does safari support Gesture function? The only reason i'm running firefox and not safari is becoz of this. But firefox is buggy and i have to fire up safari pretty often to view certain pages.

Kindly advice.

N0eL,

redlum's using Firefox - he mentioned it on the other tread I began. Go check with him. Speaking of which, I need to go back and edit my post cause I asked what Firefox was *gulps*

Er, what's Gesture function though?

Yeah.. I posted on the other forum as well.... Gesture function. It detects mouse movement to execute commands...eg.hold click button and drag to the left will go back to previous page.

But isn't pressing backspace easier? tongue.gif ... Or get a mouse with 2 buttons on the side that either go backwards/forwards when press.

Refer to this:

And for right click, get applemouse and create shortcut in your start up folder in Windows, Ctrl+click to right thereafter:

As for others sorry I dunno sweat.gif I have no problems with Office.. I think the best thing to do is to reinstall Windows with Boot Camp, thats what I plan to do, make sure u get the latest Boot Camp and burn the driver CD.

i had to install Windows twice in bootcamp before it finally worked. Patience is a virtue here... but like what civic said, make sure you have WinXP Service Pack 2 and the latest bootcamp. The Mac driver CD is also a must to do... Good luck!

Guys, if installing bootcamp on Mac, windows must use full version or OEM version also can? Full version so expensive T.T ... Apple website doesn't say it. Thanks in advance.

Taken this from Apple website:
QUOTE
A bona fide installation disc for Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 2, Home or Professional (No multi-disc, upgrade or Media Center versions.)
No multidisc means must use dvd version?

OEM or full.. Both will do. As long as it's not a windows upgrade to Xp versions.

Multi disc? More than 1 installation disc?
Windows Xp installation disc normally come with 1 disc only. Never come across anything more than that so far.
