cool. do we need student card to get this discount?
damn i got to dig old student card.. dont remember where i put them.

haha welcome to mac world.
" an apple a day keeps the blue screen away "
anyway, macbook pro is a fantastic machine. how's the heating issue.. is it that hot? my 12" powerbook previously feels like cooking my lap. i'm happy with 13" macbook but as u know.. limitation with the graphic chipset and ram (compared to macbook pro 3gb max) makes me like want to wack apple for not coming out 13" macbook pro. i need something light n small as i frequently moving n travel.

gosh..
MB is that bad ? now this scarry
i've good words for apple product n i hope my macbook will not give me a pain in the a@@ later

i did not conclude say mb is bad. just that i read so many ppl complaining abt it... some with bad flickering lcd screen n etc. hopefully after almost a year they have improve their poduct.

yes 512ram never been enough. even i have 1gig of ram but i think i need another gig.

vista is another copy of macOS X but then again they'll b some debate on it.
anyway, that's depend on the individual.

btw, u could get ur own wireless router to test on

yes it is tru what u r saying abt ram.
the defects i was refering to was on hardware - powercable megasafe burn, flikering lcd n etc which many ppl complain so far ard the net.
anyway perhaps those were the earlier mb
also the early batch mbp has heating issue.

but at least so far most of us are not the 'lucky' ones

anyway, anyone want to volunteer to post the desktop setup print screen?

em.. mayb next time prior sending take picture and make sure they sign that the condition of the macbook stated b&w. it might sound stupid but u sure want prove to avoid cases like siaokia. i pitty him.

misa,
just load n give it a try. let us know the result.
at the same time, can anyone tell me which kind of ram suitable DDR2 to upgrade macbook. should i get the crossair DDR 2 (i hope i spell it correctly) 1gig for rm240. ?

i just bought kingston ddr2 667 ram. u need 2X1gig ram. well i bought the value ram. it's fast but i applied some illustrator effect n it just closed. i'm not sure if the illustrator error or ram. other then that everything is perfect. i got it for rm 250 X 2 = 500.
macbook setup is 2X512ram. anyone want my macbook ram can pm me. i might consider selling it.
now my mac macbook c2d 2.0 ghz and 2gb ram. envy? guess what, super fast load for many application like large movie files, email which my mailbox has ard close to 1k of mails + attachments.

btw, i bought the skin like protector for macbook kb n arm rest for 35buck ! u can get it at IT mall. it's much better then those selling at mac shop. thin, cover almost every area and it's cheap.

ofcoz u can use only one 1gb ram; just that some ppl tought getting 1gb just enough to add max 2gb since mb comes with 1gb ram (c2d 2.0).
u got two slot, u can play with it. i was at first tought if getting just one ram but then again since macbook is my portable work + play machine must as well get 2 gig. my both original 512 ram is still intact with me.

the rubber protector i am currently using covers the entire notebook till the armrest without trackpad (square hole) in between. if i have the time i will snap some pictures later. and it's way much cheaper then two or 3 pieces protector u can get. this i bought for just 35 buck and it's very slim rubber. btw, i got a concern, where is the MB cooling fan located; reason asking this is bcoz on heavy tasking usage i could notice some cool blowing air from the keyboard, my concern - just worried the protector could trap the graphic fan from going to top- it has to go side ways (near lcd monitor)

so far i do not encounter any problem with kingston ram. i notice the ram at macstudio lowyat they're selling kingston ram for apple - same ddr 2 but it's written for apple. n cost ard 700+ per 1gb. well so far Value ram that i am currently using does not give me any 'BLACK' screen.

dragna,
i encounter the same problem previously. just after say few days using my mbblack, i notice a horizontal line after a heavy usage of illustrator n photoshop + other apps. but it disapper after restart. i only encounter it once and it's gone now.
(mayb perhaps i increased the ram?)

any news so far?

my darn macbook restart while i was doing my damn presentation on keynote !

i have problem with NTFS which just allow read only. yeah i format mind to msdos fat

i format my external hdd and partation into two drives. hdd space is 320gb. format n partation done using mac. joke the side, my windows desktop seems to have problem detecting my external case. i dont think it should b any problem with windows.
