curiosity lah ....why lots of ppl bought tis brand ....???summore it is expensive...

can u tell me why ...???any special ah ???

huhu ..i bought my MacBook Pro ,after i made 2 month saving of my salary .

I love Mac, since i never had those machine .

It's not about the style for being proud to be Mac user, but i choose Mac for it's stability and good after-sales services.

p/s once i switched to Mac , i won't turning back.

RM 3,699

nice OS. comes with a lot of fun software pre-installed and quite a few others free. comes with remote control. easy to use. looks nice.

how about browsing the other threads here to get a better picture of what we're enjoying?

There's many advantages (than disadvantages) to Mac. I'm so lazy to tell you everything because you can surf http://www.apple.com/getamac/

One of them is security - from viruses, malwares, spywares bla bla..

why MAC?

u gotta try everything if it is possible.. MAC is good, not as bad as windows (some say even better, i would say so too).. but i know both got good and bad!

diff experiences comes with diff price.. prices isnt matter (i.e. which is more expensive), it the things u get, the experiences u earned and etc does matter..

wat special? u try it out and u can feel the speciality, else can explain much..

what's bad about a mac?

i just power on the thing right out of the box - all is there!!! all i need to do is software update, that's it.

the start-up / shut-down speed alone is way faster than Windows. virus? malware? Mac is not without Virus........but it's rare, really really really really rare.

if your purpose is just for e-mail, browsing, listen to music, enjoying photos you taken - then IMO Mac it is!!

tat is why i say, not as bad as windows..

which contradicts wit all ur points..

?? contradicting in what way ??

btw when you say something is "not as bad as" you're saying that item is BAD as well, just NOT AS BAD.

or perhaps did you mean it's better than Windows?

well i shudnt say contradict then.. i shud say windows is opposite of all the points u stated for mac os then.. sorry to confuse! using the wrong word!

well.. not 'as bad as' didnt really meant the item is BAD, at least it gives u the point it is better than the bad windows.. just trying to say its better than windows..

my friends and i always say this, "once you go mac, you'll never go back to windows"...having a mac is not only style, but the durability of the OS system is juz so good, that u can juz not pay so much attention to viruses infecting ur system as windows always have that problem..

huhuhu.... this question inflict lotsa pain on me... ouch... i lost count.
before my gf see this, i rather bail out...

hehe. ok np. i tend to be picky a little when words do not reflect fact as close as possible. so sorry.

the thing about a Mac is that you'll be surprised how nice the interface are despite just using Intel GMA 950.

i had tested out a Sony VAIO the other day (that model is about RM 6k - 7k range) and i still find the macbook's screen look so much nicer.

got a imac 2nd gen for my sister about 5 years back from a repo guy.
paid him rm500 which was a steal as i saw imac 1st gen being sold at pyramid few months back near to rm1000

I was quite amazed how OSX manage to use my so called "useless-crappy-slow-old" x300se when I installed this screensavers http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/390582
How I can use X300se ?? Don't ask me

If want to compare the interface between Windows and OSX, IMHO OSX will pwn Windows anytime even the Vista. Windows looks very complicated while OSX is simple Is hard to describe la See to believe


How OSX manage the ram is My background is running lots lots lots of browser tab + msn + x-chat(mirc) the usage of ram is less than 256MB Try this on Windows XP I think it going to consume near to 512MB of the ram

I just realize I am typing poison New user but started to poison people

Good after-sales services? Someone doesn't think so, read Rotten Apple a bad byte.

expensive? really?

I wonder where he got his Powerbook from... that's why there's myMUG.org (malaysia mac user group). Guess if he only joined, he might have gotten better advice on how to deal with things.

Owning a G4 Powerbook myself, my repairs were all done locally. My machine was never sent to Singapore instead VR Tech would order the part and have them sent it over, and this would take a couple of days to a week. I wonder where the poor fella bought his Mac from and who he sent it to for repairs.

Not buying Apple Care Plan. That's another mistake he did.

Bought my MBP.
Basically wanna try something new and found out tat OSX is just owesome!
(Windows user since 8 years old from windows 95 =p) but now switched to mac.

he probably doesn't realize that normal notebooks cost equally (and sometimes more) BUT comes with Windowx and practically nothing else. no remote control, if there's any it's usually not cheap. heck coming with Windows isn't cheap already.

Also, he doesn't realise that Mac OS X comes in "Pro" instead of "Home" and "Pro" for Windows...

hehe. it's not like Windows XP Pro is any better than Home other than some additional features.

initially i also though Mac OS X is just.....well........THAT. as in that's all, the OS with the device. settle.

but until i got my own Mac - i just (being a techie in nature) explore as much as i can and i was surprised at all the applications already installed.
