I am off to buy a Macbook, but I'm concern about a few things about this batch of Macbook.

- Discolouration, any complain so far in Malaysia?
- High temparature, goes up to 60 celcius? That is just too hot.

Any bad thing about this batch of Macbook yet?
And da, how much is the 1GB Macbook in Ringgit?

- none so far, it only happens to specific batches, and mind you, it's white, so don't expect too much....

- every processor is hot under load.... please find me a system that don't require an HSF....

- instead of bad things, try focusing on the good things, wil'ye....?

- you're better off asking the resellers as they charge different pricing and RAM price fluctuates....

I thought there is a new model of Macbook which comes with default 1GB and 80GB, isn't it?

well, you can ask yourself, how long does it take for the original macbook to get tagged for a price and arrived on our shores....?

lokgotz... mine also shows only about 39GB free disk space... Bloody hell... didn't know that iLife takes up so much space!

reinstall your OS X with the Clean Install option, avoid installing language files, printer drivers and trial softwares.... that should save up some of your precious HD space....

thanks for the tip Eithanius...
But i've gone one up... I've gotten myself an additional 100GB external hard disk! Hahahaha....

how much space will it save roughly eithanius?... and is thr any other way to remove those crap aside frm reinstalling?...

i did the same thing....i got myself an 80gb external hdd......

but actually how much space do you save with a clean installation???if it's 3-4 gb...i wouldn;t bother.....hehehe

if you know which pile of crap to manually remove....

can't really remember how much, that was 7 months ago....

if me by reinstall the os, after customized the languages, printers, i can save around 10gb i think, bcoz b4 the reinstallation, it shows around 39gb and after new installation it shows around 50gb.. but of course depends of what have you customized

wow...10gb is a lot.....i think i might do that.........b4 my mac gets too many stuff inside....

Hey, dear MAC lovers.
my macbook starts to have problem. My macbook near lcd screen there, the rubber come out a little bit already. I need to take it to repair. Does anybody know how long they need to take it to repair those small kinds of case?

Is the RM4399 MB Vista ready?
I know XP is possible but how about Vista?
Plus, can we use only XP but no Mac OS? To save space

erm...y choose VISTA if u oredi have Mac OS X?

where can i get the price list for all macbooks?

lokgotz and vendetta...
I ran a Get Info yesterday to check out the memory that's taken up by Mac OS X.... 5GB is spent on system files, 7GB is used for application files and a humongous 9-10GB is used for library files!!!
Damn... i didn't know that Mac OS X is soooo huge!

kbandito... why do u wanna buy a MB when u wanna run Vista OS ?? Might as well just get a Dell or a Fujitsu laptop...

dude... when u click on Apple Byte sub Forum, the first couple of threads is all abt Prices...

i know you love the smart design of MB but prefer to use XP right? i never turn back to windows since i start to use mac 5 years ago (except for that visual basic crap!) but then it's up to you, but MB is vista ready i've read somewhere so i think i will be no problem plus more by using intel mac you can switch anytime

p/s: actually i love the aero themes in vista

like i said b4 you can customized it to save disk space, eg: dont have to install other languages unless you understood spanish or portugese, dont have to install all printers if you only use canon printers, dont have to install garage band and imovie if you only use iphoto and iweb and so on.. gudluck

this person sells MB at incredibely cheap price.. check it out http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...1027&hl=useless

Say guys, have you guys heard of the suggestion that leaving the laptop (PC) battery installed while using off the adapter will cause the battery life to decrease..?

Is that true..? and if so, should i do it on my MacBook as well....?
