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.

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 cause this is the XPS's spec:-



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

Hi, you can do ALL that you mentioned, without worrying about the heat issue, though it would be advisable to put it on a notebook cooler.

As a matter of fact, I have my Macbook on 24 hours, downloading torrents all day long, listening to radio & iTunes, MSN, iChat, watching movies, browsing internet etc.

As for torrents, I'm using Transmission. Do a search, you'll find many other torrent softwares for Mac OSX.

Bro, you BOUGHT it, so just enjoy it. Forget about the regret part. AND there's really no need to start a thread like this. Could have just posted in:-

Dont really understand your problem, at first it sounded like you have problems booting OSX from your external HDD but you were able to boot Windows via Boot Camp, but that doesnt make sense.

Then it sounded like OSX didnt recognize your external HDD, but Windows via Boot Camp did. So the question goes back to what format did you format your external HDD in? And your answer could well be here:-

Sorry if I got your question wrong

Search lar friend.. Whole thread about it:-

Haha.. Everything is worth its price, the question should be whether you need it or not, and what is your intended use for it. But then again, if you already planned to get it, why question it? Hehe..

Waiting for Apple product's price cut?? Slow slow wait la.. So far have only seen cuts for outgoing products / old models / going to be replaced models.

There is a better way to keep your notebook cool, build a cooler yourself! The housing is the tricky part, of what material you want to use, the fans are the interesting part, all the notebook coolers in the market are USB powered, low voltage fans, so what I did was bought those 12V fans and power it from a adapter. Those fans cost less than RM10 each, as well as the adapter, but you get very much cooling power!

Well if you like doing things yourself, you will love it, it's not necessary cheaper, depending on what material you want to use, but these fans are really good.

Sorry I've been busy, will try to post some pics later. What I did was actually modify a Coolermaster with high power fans. There are others who tried other methods, there are a lot of recommendations here:-

Becareful though with MBs, quite a number of notebook coolers out there has a design that blocks the IR receiver port on the MB.

Even if you kneel down and beg them till the cows come home they wont give you discount

It is definitely worth the wait, not so much of what it can do, but the agony of buying it now and few months later having to get leopard separately and start over.

Of course if getting the Macbook now can earn you loads of other stuff (cash, girls, business, respect.. oh did i mention girls?) just during these few months, then by all means get it.
