ychwang i don't want to give a comment on a speed but yes you can extend your 1 year waranty to 3 years waranty, and you can use compatible rams, dell or macbook? of course macbook you get 2 in 1 dude

oh yes, there's a software called paralels as the other options other than BootCamp

When i try to instal, they warned me and after that it continue, after finished installing, when i open the apps, it shows the 'AGP Warning' then it quit

Congratulation to you, i saw the display black macbook at ikano on sunday, they wraped it with plastic and it makes me wonder, how if user want to test drive? this is what they call display only

Thanks, i will try to do it, will post later the results

I think supafreak have check for me, the price for 2x512mb is around rm980

Wah good info prasys, i also want to know about this

Wei, do you know how to do it? Any sources? I could not find how to do it

This is really good. Everybody's waiting for a long time for something like this. But it mentioned 'registered students, lecturer, professor and academic staff' What does it mean? Registered with whom?

Yes, I've installed the FC Studio by a little bit 'hack' (I think 'trick' is more suitable) and can use it properly except in Motion there's probem. Thanks to wei for providing the link. I would suggest you go for at least 1.83Ghz iMac if you are seriously want to use the FCP/FC Studio because the onboard graphic chips will limit some of the funtion (maybe). Dedicated graphic chip will be much more better (of course!)

Gudluck and Cheers

The trick is just only "do not using crossover FC" If you use universal FC it will surely run Motion would not run, but maybe others will be different

I'm on 512

I think I saw a sleeve for 13" laptop at MacStudio in Lowyat. If I'm not wrong, the price is around RM80 - RM90.

Yes, I think so. In order to run the application smoothly must have at least it's minimum requirements. If you can wait, just wait after WWDC next week, who knows there's new spec or even new enclosure for MBP?

Come on Shanks, I wonder how come they scrathced even you didn't touch them

But I do agree with you, they'll get scratched even though you take a really good care of them, same to me, my iBook and PowerBook, they all scratched even though I'm carefull.. but the PB is less scratched than the iBook, maybe because of the material

Maybe someone can suggest a material that won't scratch?

Or maybe we you can use the liquid that is use to remove the scratches on CD/DVD, but no guarantee, just suggestion

Go and try first la dude, then it will tell you its ok or not.. if dont want to try, for what yu buy the RAM? I think it will be ok, if not ok, only kernel panic will appear only, if that happen, just change back to the old RAM.. I look foward to hear from you.. Gudluck!

ijatz how is the RAm installation? kinda long time to hear reply from you

As I said before, MB could run FCP but not perfect - it need dedicated graphic chip to make sure it runs perfectly

Send it to any Apple shops, they will accept it don't worry

It' really cool together with lifetime warranty! But I wonder it's the warranty for the shield from scratch or for the MB from scratch

Yeah, it's quite small if you are using bittorent and save all your song collections in the MB's hard disk. You can upgrade it, it use same sata hard disk like the other notebooks

System preferences - network - sharing - turn on file sharing by ticking the box

I'm not refering to the system preferences, just telling by my poor memory but it will be something like that, if I am wrong, someone plz correct me, because I'm too lazy right now

If you share your files, it can be see on windows, try to search it using ip adress because I always share my data with windows user and no prob for it, from windows to see mac and mac to see windows

I think any apple shop will do..

You have to enable file sharing in windows also and share the folder / partition that you want so then you can see the data in it..

It's the pre-installed OS that came together with the MB, right? I would suggest you to erase and install it back, so that you can have full control of what will be installed in your MB

Congartulations man, 2GB of RAM will push your Mac to maximum But RM650 is surely a lot more cheaper than the tested-by-apple RAM and it worth it, right?

First thing, I really want to talk face to face with people like you, n20nine because I think there will be many things that we can discuss together, maybe someday.

Since like you said this is a 'public forum' so let me give my 2 cents of comment.

Second things, you should carefully read prasys post:

"Bear in mind , Vista would still *run* as GMA 950 is a DirectX 9 Card but minus the eye candy [you could turn it on but again it can't take it] , so its possible to run Vista"

He's not saying Vista will run perfectly on MB, Vista would still run, mean not running perfectly. Like someone before is asking wether FCP can run on MB or not, it will run but not perfectly, that is the different n20nine.

Third things, AFAIK you can just google for MB running Vista, the latest news is Microsoft is demo Vista on MBP and there's many more, including Vista on BootCamp and Parallels and also Vista on MacMini and MB, so you can just simply google it.

Fourth things, we're not teaching you or anyone to dump anything, just giving an option that you have if you are using Intel Mac. in Windows, you can dump windows to go for Linux, but how many common people that know about Linux? Can you tell me?

Fifth things, 90% of world is using windows because it's has been a standard, like common people who is not IT geeks would not know what is AMD and what is PPC. When these people want to buy a computer they will ask "Ini pakai pentium berapa ah? Berapa Ghz?" They would not understand even you take an hour to explain to them why AMD FX-55 which clocked 2.xGhz still can beat Intel Extreme 3.73Ghz, these people never know what is PPC, TDP, RAM latency, because they only know the standard things only. People start to know Mac when Apple go for Intel and the latest news is Apple is at third rank for notebook manufacturer. People have to buy Mac computer to use MAC OS, so that is why many is saying that Mac is expensive even it is not really expensive. To use windows, you just need any computer to use it, less than 1K you already can have Celeron based PC with WinXP license, but Apple? At least 2.5K for lowest spec of MacMini. As for me Apple and Windows user is in different level of usage and level of knowledge, and also level of desire. But I don't know you.

Sixth things, actually I can do programming on Mac, I've post somewhere in this forum the software for it, you can just search for it. And I also can do Electronic engineering circuit on Mac, since I start to use mac, I never have problem with it except for AutoCAD stuff. But I don't think IT student do AutoCAD, right?

There's a lot more I want to type, but my eyes feel sleepy, maybe next time I can continue, but as for now let we 'the mac fanatics' know your opinion, n20nine.

Yep, I'm in KL dude. Haha same to me here, I also going to wait until Leopard is out before switch to Intel Mac, that would be the best for my buck. For the time being, I will stick with my iBook G4 and iMac G5, don't yet feel it's obselete. But playing with my gf's MB do make me feel jelous

Yep I do agree if they can make a notebook with dedicated Graphic Card since in Windows world 4K notebook already can get dedicated Graphic Card, why not for the highest spec of the MB, they give us dedicated Graphic Card also. But it's easier to talk than done, right?

I can't imagine if someone lives in Malaysia but still bought Dell's notebook although they can get other brand of notebook with better quality.. Poor them..

As for the time being, I still could not find any rumors about new Merom MB/MBP. If anybody manage to find anything, plz tell me
