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

No offense but your statement (including the last few) really got me wonder if you're still having your mom & dad to buy everything for you. 11k for a MBP is worth it, while paying 5K for a MacBook, which is spec'ed reasonable close to MBP, is only rich ppl's option!!?? Have a walk around lowyat, show the shop staffs macbook's spec and ask them for similar PC laptop, see it for yourself what are prices like... Decent brands like Toshiba or HP will easily cost around the same, but with uglier design (puke).

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 Apple's warranty is not provided by Apple Malaysia, instead it's a worldwide warranty that works the same everywhere in the world. So if you buy yours in Malaysia and one day (within the warranty period) it throws tantrum just send it to the nearest Apple Store/Shop, KL or London.

Not to mention it's really International Full Warranty, everything...everything except battery.

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's if we run it in the ever-hot-and-humid Malaysia, in cold countries or during winter like where I am now, it's damn good a warm plate to heat up my cold palms

WTF!?!? Which shop did you buy from? How come I didn't get such thing?

There is a motion sensor called "Sudden Motion Sensor" which is supposed to protect the harddisk upon any "sudden" motion detection, but the tapping thing you mentioned is a hack that made use of the feature and turn it into something cool/fun.

SmackBook Pro

Miniac, I can see your house kinda grand and big eh? And is that a PowerBook 15" at the corner?

It's been available in the late version of PowerBook, and yes the new MBP & MB have it.

Funan IT Mall has it, just look for Angeline.. I dealed with her

Here's mine... er... my sis's...










Sorry for bad picture quality, taken from handphone camera... will update more...

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.

White 1.83Ghz - S$1889
White 2.0Ghz - S$2248 (I bought this...)
Black 2.0Ghz - S$2588

It's not much cheaper seriously, but I had to buy cuz it's kinda urgent... can't wait for Malaysian stock to arrive.

Mac Mini sports a sligtly slower processor while other specs are the same as MacBook, what do you think?
