Cazed, if u don't mind investing in buying some accessory, i would recommend you to buy the notebook cooler, notepal by cooler master. The link is here

It will greatly help ur dear MB running cool. I'm using it too. Bought it in lowyat few days back. Cost me like Rm155++.

Cazed,

YOur mb is only 2 weeks old? Give u more reason to send it back to the shop. Make use of the warantee given by u while it's still available. Fix the problem for free now before u gotta take out money for something bigger later.

I'm not using a mb, i cant tell u what is the normal temp, but my mbp normally runs around 40c to 45c. i'm using a fan controller which u can download at http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/ .

porkchop,

Rm 3699 was for the 1.83 CD. Macstudio and Machines were selling at that price before their stock ran out. I dont think u can find a new one anymore. U can get a used one though. Plenty of mb cd users selling it in order to get the latest C2D.

thanks for the advise Noel, it normally happens on my windows xp, because of gaming and normal internet surfin, like rite now the temp is like 66c already and im only surfin. i dint try out the mac fully yet because i don have the programs yet.

ur mbp temp is only 40-45c,damn amazing....mine is 55-70c....im using smcFan.

so is it advise that i should send it back to the shop due to a minor casing and heating problem ?


thankz bout the info on the notebook cooler zakimi...im maybe gettin it!

i bought mine at RM 3699.

cannot find already. i asked before, all out of stock.

i bought mine from Ikano that donno what Mac shop where gamers.com.my was. a week later, i saw Ascend Zone was offering the same item for RM 3,599 with mouse, keyboard protector and so on - the only catch was Cash & Carry.

anyway i bought my keyboard protector and Tucano sleeve from Ascend Zone too.

i also noticed my mb is having the same casing issue as u...

Cazed,

My Fancontroller setup and speed as shown below :-

quite similar to setup as mine. i set my fan about RM 2k+ but ............oh hey, how come my right-fan not detected?

or does Macbook don't come with Right Fan?

So, when will the price of Apple's MAcbook change again??
I've found out that MAcbook's pricing are unlike other laptop, it never change as frequently as other brands do......y??

price change? price drop if newer comes out..

not change frequently because of the maintained value

new mac user here.

i want to transfer photos from a SD card into the Macbook. i plugged in a Apacer 8-in-1 card reader into the macbook, the blue LED on the card reader lit up and went off. i slot in the SD card nothing happens

what i want to ask:
- do i need drivers for the apacer card reader?
- do i need special card reader hardware for OSX?

Can a MB be left on and running for 24/7 without any serious effect?

Does a MB have a TPM chip (trusted platform module)?

Hi hi, my first post in LYN with my new MacBook

It looks real nice.. but .... i am not familiar with it... sigh sigh, needs time to learn

for easier browser, remember to go System Preferences and look at the Keyboard / Mouse section where you can enable scrolling with touchpad and stuff like that.

makes like easier, when i use WIN based desktop i tend to do that. so used to mac for browsing with touchpad.

ehhe. i should try doing F@H.

Touchpad dummy here

I even asked the shop attendant if there is anyway i can completely disable the touchpad (like uninstall the driver etc) ... He must be laughing hard after i left ...

Screen.. is damn bright... need to reduce the brightness even more ...

** even though i'll be bery poor for the coming days. I am bery happy with my purchase.. muahahahaha

why disable touchpad?

and you found the screen to be bright? i usually have it in full brightness.

but when in dark places, i turn it down a little.

Total dummy with that "pad" thingy. A RM 10 mouse serve me better....

FULL?

My brightness is around 70% now in a pretty well lighted condition.. i still find it a bit "too bright"

** continue to mess around with OSX

yeah....i have my brightness in full too.....hehehe......unless i'm in total darkness....

i neva use the touchpad on my previous laptops....but the touchpad on the macbook is sooooooooooo big......and it's more useful..........i love my touchpad......heheh.....

i have a rm15 mouse......but i neva use it.......coz the touchpad is just magic...hehe

hehe. mah fan la for me to lug a mouse around.

normally i prefer a mouse, but the mac seems to be the only lappie that i don't mind using touchpad.



no worries, different eyes different view.
