Yes Indeed. Saw their ad at Ampang Point branch, Maybank Citi and few other banks too.

Not necessary IMHO. I leave it ori. Once in a while dust do get accumulated on the surface. I use the included cloth by apple to wipe it clean.

Bro, although the retina display is more premium, its worth it Wont regret. Its very clear like iPhone thus you will appreciate the work more whilst using a retina display .

Whatever your choice, all the best.

If COD then should test KAW KAW.

It depends really where you use your mbp. If it is used outside often and where it is susceptible to dust and grime, then an SP is worthwhile. For me, I don't use one as I mostly use it indoors. Maintenance is basically an occasional wipe with a damp tissue and its all good.

Obviously the cloth supplied with the rmbp is excellent, but when its dust its ok to use and wipe, but some times its more than dust, which i rather wipe with a damp tissue to safely take away the grime. Finger prints on the screen also promotes dust sticking so better avoid.

Could it be some other apps that is working in the background or a wigget that making that sound? If you have disabled the spekers, that the sound could either be mechanical(fan etc) or electrical. Since rmbp uses solid state memory, only physical part would be the fan....

Good to hear that, as for mine the loudest fan noise I can recall is when I play high graphics games. Surfing on safari is no issue though.

Safari and still on Mavericks..

The only reason I haven't upgraded to yosemite was due to the interface. Mavericks looks more handsome than the flat yosemite. Even the dock icon looks much better.

I bought mine sometime in August 2014, which came preinstalled with Mavericks. My other colleague who bought the mba have already Yosemite. That was when we noticed the vast difference of the interface and indeed the mavericks was much nicer to look at. I am not much of a power user thus I figured might as well stick with the existing OS. Probably as and when Yosemite have come full circle I might upgrade. Till then I am very happy with the Mavericks OS.

As I recall, there is a 3rd party app that can override the fan parameters. But I forgot the app name. Power user did mention that it really helps with cooling down the unit during heavy usage.

"Others" would be your data that is in your notebook other than those that is directly linked to your apps.

I just use "Finder" and do the housekeeping.

When doing housekeeping, yes indeed it is tedious but from my experience this is the most safest route and with minimal disasters. There are softwares such as disc doctor for example that can do the work for you but is a big risk as the software may not know which file to delete and which to maintain. Its not a straight forward operation as user files are not like system files which are easily identified. You could try and use these softwares but do make a backup before hand.

Same here. Count us lucky this time round....but sooner or later sure kena

The same reason why I jumped to Apple. Furthermore you rarely get any issues with viruses etc. Just use it..

Morning all, a rmbp battery question.

My rmbp is now 1.1years old. Gone through 165x charge cycles and the battery health is 90%. Is this normal?

At what %point usually does a battery change is required?

Thanks situs...

Upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.1 today.... download no issues, smooth sailing. Took about 1 hour to download and another 2 hours to update all other softwares ...

Only regret is the boring interface.... so used to mavericks that this new update looks so mundane all soo flat.... urgghh

Haaaaaa.... still a long way to go...

Thanks

I have downloaded the app 'battery health' and it is free to download and use.

There are some interesting advice within the app and it tells you how to calibrate the battery upon a specific period. The app also provides details and health of the battery which is more information than the standard app that comes with the mac.

Try it out.

If have running apps which still open like mail, torrent etc, sure the machine will consume power as and when there is push mail coming in to your notebook. But I think it will stop doing so as and when the % of battery comes to a certain set level.
