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  tongue.gif

Yea you are right, shouldn't it be MacStudio? The only person I look for there is Walter, very helpful guy, all the others there are pretty us*less. One of them wanted to charge me RM100 just to help me swap my hard drive out from my Macbook. I was just asking anyway.

That's not true. Mike was very helpful. And I was trying to get a non-Mac laptop!

Is the hard drive new? Unformatted? Have you tried running Disk Utility? (in Applications -> Utilities)

The hard disc is kinda new. I formatted it using Partition Magic 8.0 in Windows. I ran disk utility but it isn't listed.
The only way i can access it is using parallel desktop with Windows... But i prefer to access it directly from MAC.
Any help please? =X

Yea you can send to Low Yat Macstudio for servicing, but you are taking additional risk of having the notebook pass through another set of hands. While they do take a lot of care on it, but still, just additional risk.

I did send my there before, they wrap it up nicely but I guess some minor scratches are unavoidable.

ooo...i thought they would be doing the servicing on the spot or at least two three days... hmm.gif
so you're saying they would be sending to other places is it?...
wonder how much would the spare-parts cost?...would it be pricey? sweat.gif

Don't send it to MacStudio in LYP (or Machines or MacAsia for that matter).

They are Resellers.

You want a Service Provider.

Hence: my choice would be VR Tech. Known those guys since before they VSSed out of Sapura. They're the only ones I would trust with my Macs (although I buy from anyone: service is a whole other matter).

Pricing would of course depend on your warranty status and what is wrong/needs to be replaced. doh.gif

I just saw this on Dell's website, they claim their XPS M1330 to be the world's thinnest 13.3 inch notebook. I was sceptical about it, so I searched for it's specs and found out that IT IS thinner than the Macbook, in a way sweat.gif cause this is the XPS's spec:-

QUOTE
Weight: Starting at 1.79 kg6
Width: 31.8cm
Height: 2.21cm - 3.38cm
Depth: 23.8cm


Macbooks are 2.75cm thick. So in a way it is thinner than the Macbook, on one end that is! Haha.. But if averaged out, 2.21+3.38/2 = 2.795cm. It's thicker than the Macbook nod.gif

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 smile.gif

Does upgrade from current MAC OS X to Leopard need to pay extra ?
sorry i'm a newbie to MAC... plan to get MB too....

Yes, you will need to pay to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. It will be approx USD 179.

On a more serious note, it really depends on the promotion. I bought my Macbook at the last PC Fair, it came with an iPod Shuffle, a laptop sleeve and a wireless mighty mouse.

I don't think there is any promotions currently...
