Nah I don't think they're confused, they just saw the word "MacBook" and jumped to reply, which is what most people do on this forum anyway.

MacBook Anticipation
Monday April 17, 2006 07:45 AM EST Posted by arn Mac News The wait for the revised Intel iBook (aka MacBook) continues, alongside speculation about the release date of the MacBook. Several readers have pointed out analyst speculation that the Intel iBook could be released as soon as tomorrow. This would be on the eve of Apple's Q2 2006 Financial Results. If that date falls through, according to reports, internal CPU sales goals at retail Apple Stores have been increased substantially starting in May. These estimates suggest Apple is expecting a boost to sales for their CPUs in the next four weeks. The most recent reports have claimed that the 13.3" Intel MacBook is in production with target release dates ranging from May to June. is that true?

who knows? but it's Apple tradition to keep the price tag around the range of the previous model.

*nod nod* it might start out a lil more expensive here before they think of phasing out the iBooks.
Q2 sounds like mid-2006 to me. |

Dammit just release it, now here's one loyal mac user running out of patience!! Been waiting for a 13.3" MacBook for my sister before having to settle to with VAIO SZ, which cost equally the same as MacBook Pro - now who says using Windows is cheap? To get a reliable machine running crappy OS, there's still a price to pay

QUOTE(na21m @ May 8 2006, 12:32 AM) Well, I was thinking about what Apple would put in them new MacBooks. Here's my predictions:13" MacBook Core Solo 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo 512 MB of RAM 60 GB HD Combo drive 13" widescreen display 1 inch thick and 3.9 lbs $799 13" MacBook Core Duo 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo 512 MB RAM 80 GB HD SuperDrive Same weight, thickness, and display as Core Solo model $999 15" MacBook Core Duo 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo 512 MB RAM 80 GB HD SuperDrive 15" widescreen display (same as 15" MacBook Pro) 1 inch thick and 5 lbs $1199 All models would feature 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 FireWire 400 port, Intel GMA950 graphics, AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth, Sudden Motion Sensor, and Front Row with Apple Remote. Available in white or black to match your iPod. A 13" SuperDrive Madonna Special Edition in pink with Madonna's signature bundled with a matching pink 1 GB iPod nano would also be available to coincide with Madonna's Confessions Tour (which Apple is co-sponsoring). Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets for May 9th! |

i doubt the low-end MacBook will be selling at $799....
remember that this is the price of a high-end Mac Mini, and the low-end iBook goes higher than that.... and rumors did have it that the MacBook is slightly more expensive than the current iBooks.... |

lswang , if you want a mac emulator on PC , Just go to PearPC or you could PM me [I am a staffer for PearPC , and I could help you]. PearPC Is a great way to try out OSX , its like having OSX ..............on your PC....aka a mac...Unlike OSX86 , which requires you to have a SSE2 enabled processor , dedicated partitio nand supported hardware. PearPC runs ontop of Windows...

With the specs, it is quite disappointed. It is more like a low end laptop with Apple logo. Furthermore, the black is easily scratch (maybe), graphic card is integrated and low resolution display. I was thinking something more from Macbook. But what the heck, it is Apple and OSX and it is black!

I've read somewhere in MacWorld in words of Apple that the 13" MBs are aimed at replacing the 12" PB as well....
so that means there's no 12" MBPs in the future....? |

The new keyboard looks kinda nice. Would be nice if Apple also makes a 10.2" widescreen edition of this.

Anyone know when macbook will be available at malaysia? Black color is cool although pricey.
USD1099 for Dual core 1.8 processor, 512MB DDR2 ram, 60GB sata HDD, BT 2.0 with webcam(iSight), i think is a good price. |

There are always people complaining about the prices and nitpicking this and that because they couldn't afford one. Anyway, just so you know, photoshop elements runs a tad faster on my macbook pro than my powerbook, and it'll be even faster when the universal version comes out. So yeah, forget the old ibook, pick up your phone and order a macbook now. |

i thought they said the adobe applications ran betta on the powerbook in comparison to the macbook pro..
anyway, if all you're gonna do is graphic work like photoshop etc.. i suppose the macbook would be a good investment compared to the ibook. just don't hope to do much gaming on the onboard gfx. powerbooks are soon to be phased out. macasia's website removed them liao. how different is the new macbook's keyboard in comparison with the ibook..? |

It's pissing me off that the MacBook gets the "place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click" feature that the current 17" MBP has, but not on the 15" MBP. Grrrr... Where's my software update Apple?!?!

Anyway yeah, obviously the 15" MBP knows when you put two fingers on the trackpad, it's just a software update away to enable that feature. I'm sure Apple will include this in future updates, they might have overlooked this little thing with the launching of their new MacBook and the new flagship store on fifth avenue. I guess I have to stick with a mouse for now. Oh yeah, where's the bluetooth Mighty Mouse stevie? |

Macs are priced the same everywhere in the country, with only very very minimal discount given by individual reseller - so don't have to think too much, just buy from the shop you had the best talk with

well, reasons for Applecare plan purchase afaik..
- extended warranty just incase. - warranty is international so any country with an Apple centre will help you. - when you sell 2nd hand and u have the plan, u fetch a slightly better price. that's that i guess.. |

You can't squeeze much out of it really, 20-30 minutes tops. You're definitely gonna need an extra battery if you're always on the go. Does anyone know of a charging dock for the MacBook Pro battery?

The black one is nice but i dont think its worth it.
For the same price id get the lowest config one and bump up to 2gb ram for Aperture. |

QUOTE(Mike3300 @ May 18 2006, 03:25 PM) Actually MacBook is a just similiar with iBook....it's just that it has Intel Core Duo processor, Front Row software and new design... It's about 8 times faster than my 1ghz iBook...that is not "just similar". It runs Microsoft Access and many many games too (via bootcamp) My humble iBook is still fine for wordprocessing/surfing/ viewing photos... just when it comes to photoediting... Depends what people are looking for i guess. A lady who only needs a computer to surf and type documents will probably feel no speed difference between my notebook and the (8x faster) Macbook. As Ethanius said, the slow speed of the PPC apples is bearable. I still get my pictures processed, and all my assignments done..all on 256mb of RAM. Applying USM + Levels Adjustment + etc took about 15min total for the photo below. ![]() This post has been edited by ezralimm: May 19 2006, 11:53 PM Attached thumbnail(s) |

Bootcamp to WinXP - Just think of a PC laptop with these specs, how do you think it will run? It's the same with Macbook, no slow downs cuz it's basically dual booting it and run natively, not emulation or what so ever...

That graphics card can't take wow ...You can still play , dont expect stunning 3D Visuals , as its just it would be okay. I heard that Apple tweaked Intel's GMA 950...to give some boost..Not tooo sure about that as well
Yep , you can run boot camp..Upgrade to 1GB and you're set |

2gb costs RM1500.
1.25gb should be RM750 (non DDR. 256+1024) 512+512 DDR how much i wonder... (but wouldnt make much sense cuz youll have two spare 256 sticks. |

Just wondering, if I use Macbook to connect to external monitor and boost the resolution to maximum (1900 x 1200), will it affect the performance compare to lower resolution?
Thinking to get a macbook to substitute my PC. |

I agree with fly. I read a review my friend passed to me of this guy in the US that's tested the MacBook. One of the cons he listed was the heat problem on the MacBook.
afaik, Mac portables have always had a heat issue at the bottom because of the battery. but now since it's the cpu.. it's bad. |

This is running away from the curren topic a lil, but does anyone know the type of RAM that's in the MacBook..? A UK site that sells RAM online suggests the:
DDR2 PC2-5300 . CL=5 . UNBUFFERED . NON-ECC . DDR2-667 . 1.8V . 128Meg x 64 (whatever that means. but thats going for 120pounds for 1 stick of 1Gig.. I checked with MacAsia in regards to "up-ing" the RAM from the standard 2 sticks of 256 (512) to 1Gig (2 sticks of 512) and the cost is just shy of RM1,000..! Is the RAM specs (PC2-5300) vital to the MacBook..? or can i get a lower spec RAM (PC2-4200 or 3200) and not ruin the MacBook...? Any thoughts on that? Also, if anyone has a price quote, that would be great too... |

you can get lower specs..But it might make your Mac slower or weird..seriously..I dont know why...You might get Kernel Pancis ...etc...In theory its possible
You can get cheap RAMs from UK..If you diy..there are many stores..Just pick a copy of MacWorld Plus or MacWorld , and see it for yourself |

Why they dont compare iBook/PowerBook with/around 2.0Ghz with 2.0 Core Duo?? both product categories never reach 2.0GHz (supposedly on a G5) because the G5 chips were too hot to fit into a slim form factor such as those laptops above.... EDITED: even third party G4 processor upgrades peaked only at 1.92GHz.... This post has been edited by Eithanius: May 31 2006, 06:26 PM |

Heheheeh... after reading about miniacs' free upgrade I called them (Yes, I bought from Funan too) immediately to ask and was given some lame excuse that they'd missed it. So I'm currently finding ways to bring it back for the upgrade.

I KNOW! Ive read that someone complained to Apple Care and they couldnt do anything about it cause its considered to be a cosmetic issue which isnt covered..man...now im seriously starting to reconsider it...i mean, i know its no big deal but for something like that to pop up after just 2-3 weeks is a lil bad la...who knows WHAT itll look like in a year....
The more i research into the MacBook, the more issues that seem to pop up..first it was the heat (which i got over), then there have been some issues of "whining" and "mooing" (no idea..saw it in an Apple discussion thread), WiFi issues, the MagSafe issue with the MBP (i know..its on the MBP but the MB uses MagSafe as well so one never knows.) and now THIS..?! seriously. Not good. Despite what that nice fellow at Time Magazine said. This post has been edited by Bahir.: Jun 13 2006, 02:16 PM |

Bahir, i cant say much on the cover of Macbook since mine is black macbook... there is no whining or mooning... and in terms of wifi, damn it is so good, can access basically everywhere from my house, compare to my old powerbook (this could be due to wifi extreem card or something like that), magsafe is not an issue coz my battery last for a long time.
so no complain from me. |

Gotcha miniacs but i personally cant afford the Black MB..unless there are some serious suggestions or explanations addressing the issue of the discoloration, i might (unfortunately) just get a Dell..
Again, i know its a minor cosmetic issue, but it is a lot of money for something like that..and besides, im man enough to admit the cosmetics played a part in my decision..(the others being GarageBand,built in WiFi,Bluetooth and iSight;DVD Burner,and size and weight.) |

No worries mate.
I suggested to a friend of mine to maybe check out the serial numbers of the MBs that get released here..like i mentioned, it could be an isolated issue with that one manufacturer, sorta like the "plastic film blocking the air vent" case... Deadman, would you mind quoting your sister's MB serial number..? and seeing that your the only one so far with the white MB (miniacs punya hitam i think) maybe you can keep us updated on the cosmetics of the white MB..? Sorry for the trouble. |

I'm tempted to purchase the 2.0 ghz Macbook and maybe throw in an extra 512 worth of RAM (Bringing it to about 1 gig)..... Now, will it be fast enough to run Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro smoothly?? I want to use it for some small video editing on the go, while my main PC can be used for the heavier stuff......
Anyone?? |

FYI, there's no Mac version of Premier (latest releases). You have to be contented with Final Cut HD Pro. Im pretty sure the 2GHz Macbook should serve well as a "Mobile & 2nd" workstation. Maybe just on to go rendering to show client on the spot changes. I will not suggest anyone to do full lenght HD content on a laptop. Not to say this is just a macbook. And pls, pusht the RAM to 1GB stick if u planning to do video.

Bump the RAM to at least 1.5GB and then it should be okay. The MacBook should do a good job on this

Well, my main PC is STILL a Windows XP machine....... and planning to switch soon.....
So will probably use the MacBook as my Uni Laptop to do work on. Only thing was dissapointed to see such a low end graphics card inside..... BTW...... is there any way I can buy compatible MacBook RAM in Low Yat instead of spending even MORE cash at an Apple Center?? |

I hope the forumer can response in good manner.
I said on Friday I called them and ask them whether they have any macbook available and they said yes, it is in stock for white units. I never say demo unit. I told them I want black unit so I rejected the offer. The black unit is CTO cost about RM7199 which I have also mentioned in the thread. I said nothing about the display / demo unit. I hope this thread is clear for some forumers. This post has been edited by ASAP: Jun 19 2006, 08:43 PM |

uppss.... sorry ASAP. But i swear someone has told me that after the 5 units white macbook sold out......no more d mah... left wit the demo set...only. But after tht he(dunno who....probably mix up wit ASAP-bcoz 1 of my reply to ASAP) told me tht even the demo set sold d.... tht time black one got 1 unit only... n still have until today. Tht person said he can buy the demo set too but wanted to get the black macbook...somemore so proud to say he can buy it tht day too... but insist of black one(well....the black macbook is still available until today....i even call mac studio about it)????? Confused??????!!!!

QUOTE(aaronchin @ Jun 21 2006, 02:15 PM) cool.. thanks..cos i checked the Apple HK site and for example the 2.0GHZ white is HKD10200 HKD10200 ---> RM4815.04 at exchange rate of HKD1 ----> RM0.472063. that's a saving of almost RM500 when compared to the RM5299 price here or RM5180.47 if u buy from sg (at xchange rate of SGD1--->RM2.30448). Guess HK is one of the cheapest places to get the macbook. |

QUOTE(jonyeow @ Jun 21 2006, 06:20 PM) cool.. thanks.. But have u consider that cost of flying to HK and even if u dont fly there, you need to pay for the postage from HK to KL is considerably higher than from Sg to KL. anyway, computers either it is purchased personally or courier to our shore, there is no tax. Computer and accessories no tax, music player (ie iPOD) yes, games-yes.cos i checked the Apple HK site and for example the 2.0GHZ white is HKD10200 HKD10200 ---> RM4815.04 at exchange rate of HKD1 ----> RM0.472063. that's a saving of almost RM500 when compared to the RM5299 price here or RM5180.47 if u buy from sg (at xchange rate of SGD1--->RM2.30448).

QUOTE He calls up just now to inform me that the shipment was put in hold at JB Custom and only be reaching here tomorrow or day after tomorrow. He also mentioned that we can pass the cheque once the delivery is done. No need to wait until the cheque is cleared. Just bear with me for few more days so still have to wait....haihhh..... |

Patience to all those future macbook owners out there. It's really worth the wait.
I got my MBP 3 weeks ago....and fall in love with it since the first day. Been using windows for so long and now it is an refreshing switch. Much more secure OS! Very user friendly! Jz love it! |

Bahir, u know wat u can do?... even if the place doesnt handle the installment pymt for ur credit card, u can still charge the purchase, then contact ur bank abt the purchase made to convert it to installment. BUT before u do that, check wit ur bank to see if they allow tat... most banks do now... :-) they'll of course charge a small percentage for their troubles la... the banks i mean... i think cycom still has a few 2.0ghz (white) units... dunno if they r gonna offload it immediately or not... can't get back deposits if you dowan the machine wan ah?... |

Few observations with my black book today.
1. Easily stained oil. For those oily hand, must be extra careful. Have to constantly wipe the trackpad. 2. Try to get the 15 inch Screen Sav from Radtech. Cover the whole laptop keyboard. 3. Install memory is harder than Macbook Pro. That's all for today. |

Took it to the Mac shop in Ikano and the guy tried a while then said that the RAM (i had upgraded to 1stick 1G) is NOT the problem and he didnt know why...! So im gonna have to take it to the Apple Service Center tomorrow. Man im irritated..oh and i then took it to the Mac shop in Low Yat Plaza (i live in KL) and the guy tried the boot disk to no avail... NO i didnt install anything, not Boot Camp, not Windows, nothing..the guys at the shop asked me this so i thought id clear it up... man. Just when i had bought the new ori Football Manager 06 to play....NOT a good way to start my Apple affair. |

No such luck guys..everyone, from the shop that sold it to me (Cycom), to the two Mac shops (Ikano and Low Yat Plaza) told me to take it to the Apple Service Center, VR Technology in KL..so i just dropped it off this morning and they told me that they'd check it and get back to me...
What is unsettling is that VR Tech said that if it was a hardware issue, which they suspect, they'd fix it for free..BUT if it was a software issue, they'd CHARGE me RM100..! When i asked about it still being under warranty, the lady behind the counter said that since they're two different companies, they cant claim the charge, but said that i can "get" it from the shop that sold it to me... I see myself having to pay for it no matter what comes out..doubt Cycom's gonna just fork a hundred bucks. |
