no problem, mb has no mouse. fyi, even the mb too comes with a remote. in macs, there is an option button you press down together with a click that works as your right click. am not sure if this works in windows. in fact now the mb's and mbp's have a trick whereby you use two fingers to get the right click. not sure how, any mb users can help?

mb in windows -> click on trackpad and command (right side) button.. it'll be right click

how bout in OS X ? how do i do right click on trackpad?

hmm..

why dun u just buy a usb mouse?

no prob at all

dsiew you can do that in os x too, but there is another trick where you can use only two fingers in the trackpad, do not know how it goes abt...

well, benque, usb mouse is the best solution but depends, like for me if i am surfing from my bed or when i have the lappie on my lap, i'd rather use the trackpad.

click ctrl first

and then click on trackpad...

it'll be right click!

running XP on Mac is just like running XP on ur PC..
so the answer is ...YES!

Okay we need to use a button on the keyboard to right click... I'm suprised a company such as Apple thought of such stupid thing.... =.=
If it was me, I usually do most stuff with one hand using the mouse. Removing the extra button really takes away an essential. Who would want to use both hands all the time? I cant drink and manuever the mouse issueing commands that require both the buttons without having my other hand for other actions (eg. reading, eating, drinking~ etc)

About the MB having the remote.... i dont remember seeing it in the list of included preperials.

And since I'm asking, anyone tested the remote with a MB/MBP while on windows?

kyosuke86, yes it does have a remote. like i said before, there is another way where you do not have to use the keyboard.

Guys, I went to see the Macbook at 1U PJ yesterday but to my disappointment they have no stock, i need to place deposit and wait for about 14 working days. So i didnt get it. Dont enjoy buying something and then need to wait for it

Anyone knows anywhere in KL where they have stock of the Macbook (RM5299) version? I'll be in KL for 2 days, hope to get it then. Thanks!

try macstudio at lowyat

Apparently the guy from Macasia (1U) told me its a nationwide shortage of stock. Maybe I should look up the contact for Macstudio and check for stock before I go.

Any other retailers?

Thanks!

not nationwide shortage......wordwide it seems.

i just bought my macbook black.. waited 3 days for it...
don't REALLY think there's a worldwide shortage

or at least u can try MIDVALLEY it city

I managed to book one (2.0 White) at Macstudio Low Yat, but they can only hold till tonight, i got to got there in a while. They told me Apple is short of stock.

Apparently they received 20 units last week, and they are all gone now. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I'll be typing on it already

i bought my 2.0 mb @ cycom ly 2 weeks ago. now no stock already?? regarding the right-click issue, you can actually tap two fingers on the trackpad to right-click. go to system configuration>mouse. but i have a problem in windows though. i cant right click (using the ctrl key + click on trackpad) at all.

Thanks for your answers regarding the "right clicking" issue.
No one has yet to answer regarding the use of the remote with windows. Anyone can clarify this?

doesnt work with windows.....

just get a 2 button mouse lor. dirt cheap mar.


btw, anyone with more than 1 apple remote and wanna clear it, PM me... kih kih...

white MB is facing a worldwide shortage.

oh i didnt c dsiew's post. right-click in windows requires the right side command + click.. hihi. and yes, the remote doesnt work in windows.
