i'm a 11years old pc user, and i desperately wanna switch to apple... i'm quite aware of everything about apple... everything! : )

i'm planning to buy a macbook, probably white color 2.0 C2D... leopard would released anytime soon, and i'm not rushing, so i will wait for a macbook with preloaded new os 10.5.

i've read a lot of reviews and articles, and always been aware of apple defective issues these few months... i'm quite worry about the case of white macbook, does it still hving the discoloration issues? those annoying and unerasable yellow/brown stains...

and, about the charging of the macbook battery, will it switch to the direct AC after the battery is full? like the feature in all Asus laptop...

magsafe is really safe? anyone here happened to have the magsafe melted issues?
screen flicker issues?

white macbook owner, please answer my question. appreciated!

i did use white iBook in 2004. it gets pretty stained on the palmrest after 1 week. dunno about the newer macbook. better check or u'll regret not paying extra hundred bucks for a black macbook

My Macbook is ~2 months old with no stains. You can get palmrests to avoid the staining issue.

Yes, the magsafe will switch to AC once the battery is full. It won't recharge until the battery goes below 95% to avoid problems with the battery. No melted cables either.

Oh, beware of the Macbook sharp edges!

There was some staining issues when the Macbook 1st came out. But apparently for current models, the issue has been fixed.

Anybody care to clarify on this?

i'm not sure if its just me or anything, probably i'll write an email to whine to apple about my unpleasant experience with my first macbook,

i mean, i love everything i had from it, but i had no idea why the first 4 day of using, after i sent to warranty, until now, past 2 week, no news yet, even i celebrated my cny without it *sigh*, which at first i thought there's a crack inside the isight but later they found out another problem which had to send my mb for a permanent repair, and its still not back yet...

well, just whining...but seriously, i'm really unhappy
really.

almost 1 month usage now. so far so good. no prob at all. jsut that the RAM is abit insufficient for i haven upgrade it. still using the stock 512.
bout the bat , ya it uses AC all the way till it's fully charged.

n bout the melting part ....so far i still haven read anything bout the melting .

just get 1 my friend when Leopard is out . You won regret it.

yours is not unpleasant experience with macbook what. your is unpleasant experience with Apple's service.

EDITED : oh btw i'm a macbook user and i'm very happy with my setup. 512mb RAM only, 1.86ghz Core Duo. works great!!! sharp edges? me no feel it. just love the macbook.

btw, the IR port in Macbook allow data transfer?... for example, handphone to macbook?... or, it just for the front row remote control?

thanks

The IR is purely for front row remote. Use bluetooth if you have it for your mobile to Mac transfers.

Oh, if you have one of the fully supported devices on the iSync devices list, make sure someone shows you how to sync your phone with iCal, Address Book etc. It's very cool.

@tishaban, I can show... especially since my SE k750 syncs *everything* including iCal events!

really? how? can teach me?

any links perhaps

nope... i don't give away my selling tricks online

cheh so kedekut
haha actually i knew edi laa.

i found out motorola and sony ericsson compatible with isync the most...
nokia.. can realy sync much.. haikkk
