They don't officially sell CD macbook/pros anymore but some stores may still have some of them.... They'll probably sell them at a lower price... But not much lower from what I've seen.

Wei... U R SO TOTALLY RIGHT!... hahahha....

tomkent, dude.. get a mac or not... do ur homework kid... your entire question sounds condescending and arrogant as hell kid...

fyi, you are on the INTERNET... u do hv something called WEB BROWSERS and SEARCH ENGINES... I'm sure u can search for whatever you want.. or u hv a PHONE... and a PHONE is used to make PHONE CALLS... use what u hv to find what u dont... BY URSELF...

i did do some homework by searching the net.... but i also prefer to hear from the pros... u cant get any experiences by reading on book/net... Advise from experience mac user is always better than reading online and figure it out 1 by 1...

P/S: nowadays phone is not only use to make phone calls ... u can browse net, mms, 3G video calling.. So i utilize all of it...

Thanks 4 all the user for your kind replies... decision made... Cheers!

Congrats on your decision...

But lets say I got 20 compelling reasons for you get an intel box, run Linux and skin it to look and function like OS X, would you do it???

With the extra cash, you could get the rm 3500 17" dell, or the rm 4000 12" ultra-portable dell, run linux, skin it to OS X, and walaaa.....!!! Not to mention the active OSX86 project dudes.. they're making some serious progress, you know! I think within 1 month of 10.5 (panther, cheetah, jaguar whatever), I think that a hacked bootable OS X 10.5 DVD will be available. Then you save cash.

Most new Apple users go for the looks. Looks is all that attracts them. Becuz to be 100% honest, productivity work and basic computing stuff, all can be done on the PC and there's nothing much the Mac has to offer, other than hours of fun on Photobooth, the nice Quartz Extreme graphics where windows fly around and minimise to the genie and scale effects, all that eye candy. iLife is irreplacable, and if you wanna put that into a dollar amount, I'd say its worth RM 2,000 bucks for what it does.

Ok, I'm starting not to make sense now.

Bottom line: I think its better to list down the reasons why you're buying a Mac. If not, when the next Dell comes out with faster specs and RM 2000 discount from your purchase, you'll suddenly dislike your MB!

I think u shud get the C2D mb. because they are the same price as the CD mb. Anyway, if u r trying to get the CD mb. I saw there is one being offered rm4599 at cg computers, gurney plaza, penang.

Welcome to the world of MAC :-)
