Sometimes when I think about it, kinda glad that I never waited for Macbook C2D when I bought the Macbook CD, all these new specs and prices keep popping up all the time, there will NEVER be a better time...

Rm4599 is the older Mid range macbook.....RM4199 is the newer entry model....

but come to think of it, the newer entry model and the older mid range model are about the same specs....hehehe........

it's your choice lah....

Well, my opinion, get the older mid range macbook which cost RM4399 for super drive. 200 bucks more. From machines at midvalley.

Well, it's up to ya. Hehe.

last time macbook is based on non-intel chip ,so cannot make comparison .

now macbook is using intel C2D chipset , so as comparison .

a macbook vs laptop

2.0 C2D vs 2.0 C2D
1G ram vs 1G ram

run graphic , let's say .... ... photoshop , do rendering . will both go with the same speed ?

sorry, EVERY SINGLE MacBook was made using Intel chips. I think maybe you're referring to the iBook... but that hasn't been produced since May last year smile.gif

congrats on your new macbook......welcome to the dark side...hehe....

there are antivirus software for mac, IIRC, Norton did make one for mac...dunno still selling or not....but it's usually not required.......

BTW, just be sure to update ur mac's software, u know, just in case there are vulnerabilities...hehehe....go to Apple Logo on the top left, then click software update....

Just to make things straight. The update does not rid of any viruses icon_idea.gif
The point is that... Mac is not vulnerable to viruses anyway thumbup.gif

About the antivirus.

Currently there are no known malicious viruses for Mac. Although there was a case where CanSecWest did PWN to OWN scenario. Basically, the Mac is directed via Safari to a malware app online and the hackers would get complete control of the computer.

Anyway, you can download a completely free virus checker app called Clam X AV.
