Added on July 16, 2007, 2:03 amHi torreto... This can definitely be done with the macbook, and a lot of people do it... You can run both monitors simultaneously for more screen space, or you can use just the external screen and run the macbook in closed lid mode. You can find plenty of ideas to plan your setup from flickr... Try take a look at this, this, and this.

Take note that the macbook is capable of running external monitors up to 1920x1200, so if you're looking at Dell widescreens the maximum size you can go is 27". Prices of Apple mice and keyboards can be found here, and prices of dell monitors can be found here.

How much cash you have to burn depends on how big you want the screen to be

edit: You'll also need to purchase the mini-dvi to dvi adapter, which will set you back another RM109...

I have a external harddisk for my window and i use with my macbook. but when i intend to open the content inside, i notice some folder automatic hide but not hide when i open in window. Do you guys know how to solve it? the file content in the folder is those xxx lol

Score!

Oooh... quite some damage on your wallet

Hey, which store did u order from? The US Store?

first of all, which type of FileSystem your ex-hdd? I encounter such problem when that partition is NTFS. Some of my folders disappear, (btw it not XXX ). To solve it, i used ntfs-3g which can enable to write and read NTFS.

Oh, I'm still too young to be blowing off my own cash. This is strictly dad's money.

Taking advantage of Apple's Store for Education in the US. That iPod Nano is coming free after rebates Now it's a matter of getting to the US...

Here's another update we hope to see in the MB & MBP, something else to wait for, Intel Core 2 Extreme X7800 laptop processors:-

yeah...
especially the lower spec for 15 inches

another dude in lowyat *coughmacasiacough* told me that the glossy screen is only available on 17 inches spec. is it true?

The glossy option is available on all MBPs... It's the high resolution screen(1920x1200) option that's only available on the 17".. That shop *coughmacasiacough* should train its dudes to get their facts right

it is ntfs. how to use ntfs-3g? mind to tell? haha i thought apply automatic don let human watch xxx. sign

Download NTFS-3g.

First you need download MacFUSE Core, then install it. Then install the NTFS-3g. After that, reboot your system. Your system should detect your NTFS partition automatically by using ntfs-3g plugin. Now you can read and write.

PS: Sometimes you might encounter problem because NTFS-3g still in beta stage. It is based on linux system and then port to mac system.

I thought one should create a mount-point for the NTFS volume?

it got auto-mount script. I heard the latest version got many bugs. Btw i used the old version. And you require to fix the auto-mount script, else you end up can't write as well.

If you use 1.417 version, you need go to Systems/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs/Contents/Resources/
-Find a file name ntfs-3g.mount and drag to your desktop
-Open the file with text editor
-Find this line
local OPTIONS="${OPTIONS}volname=${LABEL}"
-add replace it with this
local OPTIONS="${OPTIONS}default_permissions,volname=${LABEL}"
-Save it and drag back to the directory, and repair permission.
-Reboot your machine. It's done

Maybe I'm using the bootcamp volume, I have to create a mount point for it. Anyway, thanks for the tips, will try that later.

hmm i don't think so. After all, bootcamp volume is still like any other partition, more or less the same. I know for the first time release ntfs-3g, you need create mount point for your own in order to work. Since few newer version release, there's got auto mount. Btw, creating mount point also pretty easy. Just unmount your ntfs, create a directory and use the ntfs-3g command
