I think I'll just wait for OS X Leopard then. Santa Rosa doesn't impress me, really.

buy now, then upgrade to leopard later... although if you wait till leopard comes out then, even though there will probably be no price or hardware improvements in the laptop itself, you'll save a few 100 bucks on leopard

Spoke to someone at my local mac shop, and he says if I wanna upgrade to leopard later, it'll only cost me £89.99. And seeing as I plan to sell my PC to semi-fund the purchase, I think that is an acceptable "sacrifice". Saves me time, and I get a new toy to play with, sooner.

if you dont really use the new functions in leopard, then just give leopard a skip.....just my opinion....hehehe....

ya.. it'll be a small price later, plus the demand surge for macs just after leopard comes out will probably make them more expensive.. so it's probs best to buy now, then get leopard later

Haha demand and supply?

I think the prices of Macs will remain unless new hardware is announced.

Hi All,

Need to buy a notebook cooler...any recomendations ?

hi.
just got myself a macbook and i have a problem.
i cant transfer pics from it to my external hdd.
it says unable to create directory.

help?

make sure that partition is NOT NTFS. Mac osx can't write in that format, but you can use NTFS-3G+Tools to make mac osx to be able to write in NTFS. NTFS-3G+Tools just a beta anyway. The best solution is format your ext-hdd into fat32 format.

mine using the cheapest notebook cooler.
u can buy any type of them as long it fit ur purpose..

i noticed that the batt heats up very fast..
due to no fan?

someone teach me how to convert nfts to fat32?
forgotten how already.
and must i transfer everything to somewhere else first before converting the format?

and whats the best photo editing software for mac?
still cs3?

planning to buy invisible shield from the states to protect my macbook and give it shiny look..

Is the battery is a lithium-polymer battery? I know the current MacBook uses that kind of battery.

Lithium-polymer battery can be overcharged. No lifespan for it. (I can't guarantee that, humans invented that).

I assume that you got a PC.

Connect your external hard disk into your PC, move all the files into the PC HDD. Then format your external hard disk to FAT32 by...

In My Computer, right-click on your external hard disk and choose Format. Then choose FAT32 and quick-format. Done!

After that, copy all your files back to your external hard disk.

Please copy all your personal files first before format, or else you'll lose your goods.

yaaa..1st time mac user..so i need ur support and help!..hehe
aiyo..thats gona be a big prob..
as my old laptops hdd is just 40gb while my ext hdd is 80gb....

Then burn some files into some DVDs.

no dvd burner for my laptop..
its a 2004 laptop..
still up and running tho...
kinda sayang but i have got to familiarize myself with mac osx...
so used to windows...

or u got desktop? or what? Move the your important data into your desktop hdd as temp. And format your ext hdd to fat32 then move it back. that's the only solution lo since you don't have dvd burner

thanks all.
will do it soon.
so leceh la converting to mac from windows...

It is, after that you can enjoy.

i know..

but in the mean time i feel like an IT illiterate

@supazta,
You're the first person who seems to be having problems - then again, it could be due to your oversized files..... well, go through the process once and after that u'll be fine

Have fun
