u mean the fruit is it?hehe

Dunno what he means....this mac..which mac & apple rosak

apple cepat rosak, is it true?

green apple or red apple?

state out which model and specification would be better !!

what he mean is the whole brand.. well, my answer, it depends on how you take care on your stuff la, apple stuff will last long if you not rough with it.. anyway, if rosak, the after sales service of apple is one of the best

i don't think it's fair to make that kind of general statement. i'd agree with xordMeztGeR, it comes down to how you take care of your stuff. each product comes with its own handling etiquette. you won't handle a macbook pro like you could a panasonic toughbook, right?

So...whats the point of this thread

Seriously , to be frank . I dont get it

Since its too general , I can't say anything

Its just like asking , Is OSX stable . The general answer would be a yes. But when you walk the path , then you would know that it does hang and crash.

maybe u need an apple care plan

ALL Apple? don't scare me.....apple offer 1 year international warranty plus optional 3 months or 90 days extended warranty care plan...if u're having doubt with that...take along the care plan when u bought ur apple....

BMW also broke down if u "lanyak" ....
That is the warranty purpose.
To cover manufacturing defect.

The 3 months or 90 days are not optional warranty extension... That is infact the entitled or complimentary expert telephone support.
For the AppleCare extended warranty, you get another 2 years of international warranty plus extended expert telephone support for the full length of the warranty time...
So, if you get a Mac together with AppleCare, you get 3 full years of international warranty and telephone support...

aiks....wrong info given again by me.....thanks for correcting me....

From my experience the slot-loading drives don't last as long
as the tray-loading.

Have heard other cases of iMac CRT and G5 slots dying. Perhaps
from too rough insertion or too thick CDs.

- yap

Apple dont make the slot loading drives. They just use them.

on my experience, the macbook got few problems, i got to send mine to apple care coz of superdrive, man i barely use it and now my cd got stuck inside (and yes i tried everything that is mention in the net). something happened to my boss too. but i still like apple, got probably this is a minor hiccup, i got powerbook, imac and mac mini and all of them are fine except my macbook. first time ever send to a shop for a repair. by the way, apple care centre will replace will whole new superdrive. now just waiting for the parts to arrive here.

iBook user here, 3 years already. up and running just like its first day!

because you take good care on it....and you deserve that......If you use to smash/strike here and there to table or elsewhere....for sure it wouldn't long lasting.......

i have a question here too....beside defrag the hardisk once upon a time....any way to help makes its life longer?

so the only problem faced by mac users is the slot-in drive lah?

My MacBook still the best....

yea same here, my macbook pro is the best and hottest laptop I ever have.
as long it served me, I can ignore the heat.
with mac I can sleep earlier, cause I dont need to wait my laptop (hang) and tweaking it.

love my MacBook!

@Criptonox89 - Well, what you said is only partly true.

I bring my laptop to uni everyday in my normal bag in a small protector laptop-hugging bag. my laptop was accidentally dropped from 0.7 metre high table twice, and I'm sure when it's in my bag the impact count would be like countless.

Still it's up and running with no problems after 3 years.


NOW I can officially say iBook rocks. Lol...

I see...take good care on your ibook.....you would no longer be so lucky jkjk

since you have been using ibook for 3 years...any idea with its software? what faculty you're studying? normally how long does you switch on your ibook everyday? Some of my freind have the same opinion with me that majority software which suits apple laptop in the market are rare....any idea with this?

Thanks.

Quite rare. I had to order my software from overseas.
Canvas 7 and Melody Assistant.

But there's lots of downloadable Mac stuff on the net
(legal and ilegal).

- yap

I never turn off my ibook. Just close the lid and let it hibernate. The startup is instant as long as there is still power by battery.

Well, I'm an electrical & computer systems engineering student, but I do a bit of free lance design work. In terms of designs, I have no complaints. The rendering speed of apple is indisputable. In terms of engineering softwares... I found a replacing program of PSpice for circuit simulation (MacsSpice), and C++ programming software for mac is quite widely available.

when I need to use a software that's only dedicated to XP, Virtual PC comes into focus. ...

Actually the reliability of Apple computers is best adressed in this article:

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/16/re...iability_audit/


Apple is only a hair's breadth away from Lenovo and very far ahead of the rest of the pack when it comes to reliability.

Case closed.

apple memang cepat rosak! Jgn beli !!!

Love my MacBook to death

my 667mhz G4 Titanium PowerMoo is still running. Should have a few more years with it still I believe. Just can't play new games but Warcraft3, Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights runs well on it.

My TiBook 1GHz is running very well too.

And since I've kept in a leather sleeve all it's lovely life, it's also free from the scratches and flaking paint that seems to blight this model.

This way, I still get to admire it's two-tone enclosure which has yet to be improved on from an aesthetic response. The TiBook is rather like a beautiful woman. Breathtakingly lovely but high-maintainence....

Old school nerd competition! Mac II SE from 1988 or so ... that still works last time i checked (but that was a few years ago). Also a Powermac Quadra on system 7 that runs.

On a more realistic note, a 2 year old iBook G4 which i use to run my business on a daily basis, very much used, goes with me everywhere on a backpack. Looks pretty good because I don't carelessly abuse it. Hard disk is a bit corrupt though, but nothing a good 'ol reformat won't fix ...

I've been using my PowerPC G4 since 2001
still working n kicking
my previous PowerMac G4 still kicking since 1999

my company still using it's 2001 xServe PowerPC till today, i kinda like using OS X.. but i'm just a poor kid, using OS X inside my HP pavilion PC... i'm saving up to get a new iMac.. waiting for my bonus to come up... wahoo...

Believe it or not I have a 333Mhz Strawberry iMac with 20G HD and 512 RAM bought in 1996 still running 24/7 in the office as a print server. So where is the "cepat rosak" thing coming from?

Actually I DON'T believe it.

Why?

Because the first Bondi Blue iMac was introduced in May 1998.

Typo - 1999. That's the problem when I try to do touch typing. Thanks for bringing it up.

PS - I wish I can say the same thing about my SE 30. It has gone to Mac heaven. Fried power supply and mother board
