i haven't had the chance to check local stores, but does anyone know if the new macbook pro is available? the one with 8600gm video card? thanks...

According to iStat, my battery's health was 98% when I first got it. I used coconut battery to check it and it said my battery had 5507 mAh (I'm using a 15.4" MBP). The most recent check I did with coconut battery says that I only have a battery capacity of 5433 mAh. Am I not doing something right? I usually allow the computer to discharge up to about 5 minutes of charge left before jacking her up. To be honest, it was at 5423 yesterday, and after a full charge, it's gone up 10 mAh. So should I be worried? iStat claims my battery health to be at 97% (it was 96% yesterday).

Also, my computers temp is usually between the 40 to 50 degree mark, but this one time after watching a whole load of youtube videos, it was all the way up to 70!! That totally freaked me out. Anybody else experience that?

After bout an hour of movies, my MB is around 55-60 celcius. 70 is rather high i think. Whats your fan speed?
BTW, anyone here has problems where by while watching a movie the audio doesnt sync with the video?
I watched the same episode of CSI on my PC. It was fine. I tried it on my MB with Quicktime and the audio was about 2 seconds slower. I tried it with VLC and it was bout 1 second slower? Any idea what's causing this problem? Doubt it's the file..

The universal version is the version optimised for Intel macs. The versions in Creative Suite 3 are the universal ones. The ones in Creative Suite 2 are the non-universal ones.

And no, they are not free.

Does anyone know where to get original Powerbook batteries? I have a 12" Powerbook 1.5 and I need a new battery. Does any official Mac store keep stock or are there any other sources?

Powerbook batteries hard to get here. Can try Singapore, but last time I bought in Japan in the Apple Store, cost me RM500++ i think for Powerbook1.5...

Hi i wanna get a Macbook but i dont quite understand why the black version is more expensive>?
Will Apple be releasing a new Macbook anytime soon?

the new blackbook have more 40gb than the white one for 2.16ghz model and probably for the colour make it expensive
according to the macrumors buyers guide the macbook last update was 52 days ago so dont expect any update atm.

wait another 5months at least. Normally apple update macbook in dec/jan and may/june

does anyone know where i could buy a maybook pro with 15'' glossy widescreen? Does machines sell that laptop...

I believe you'll have to get retailers to order the model for you. It should come with no cost premium over the matte MBP.

Anyone have any experience with matte vs. glossy on the MBP? I'm still deciding for my summer purchase..

glossy...
sharp, vivid colours...reflections are a bit of a prob...

matte...
no refelction...colours a bit dull...

Is there an alternative to Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter cause the price is rather steep for me. RM 200 bucks for a cable is a bit...pricey la

Where did you asked RM200? It's RM109 only. Thats the price in Ikano & The Curve, the last time I went that is

Guys, when im using front row to watch movie, my macbook temperature can go up till 80"c is that normal or what ? scrared something might melt. after i switch off the front row the temperature goes down to normal temp. Same problem also if im using limewire to downloading songs or movie.

I saw RM 200 at a shop at Digital Mall. At least thats what is says on the price tag la. Is there any other 'non-standard' cable ar that does the same thing?

Try to crank up your fans using smcFanControl. Might help.

That doesn't sound normal. Perhaps you should take it back and get it checked out. But don't worry, it things get too hot, the chip will throttle itself, and if it still is getting too hot, it will force a shutdown.

But do get smcFanControl, it's awesome. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049
