The free keyboard condom and sleeve isn't much to shout about. Of which, both I no longer use.

Keyboard Condom - It traps heats, prevents hot air from escaping through the spaces between the keys

Sleeve - The MB sized sleeve is made too big, there is lots of free play.

Is the speed increase in dual channel mode significant?

Technically, what windows runs, Macs will run as well.

If you can't find the Mac version, use bootcamp instead.

@OmniAtlas

Looks interesting, where did you find it?

Thanks for the info. They look quite easy to DIY. I think those PS2 vertical stands might work as well if they are adjustable.

I think I prefer mine on a laptop cooler. Plus, the attached cables will make it look kinda weird.

@yawhong,

Congrats on your purchase.

BTW, what is the price for Applecare for Macbook with student discount in UK? If you could check for me please.

Much thanks

If the link is direct to the mp3 file, right click on the link and choose "Download linked file". If not, once you are in the quicktime page, you can go under File then Save Page As an mp3 file.

The additional plugin could be for windows media player. You can get it from Apple.com/downloads. I'm not 100% sure though, you might want to Google it up.

Thanks for the info.

That's really CHEAP! I think you could make quite some money selling Applecare

It's no biggie if you show them the number outside the box.

But if you show them the activation card INSIDE ths box, then your Applecare might get hijacked

If I'm not wrong, I'm not 100% sure, you better double check.

Once the Applecare registered to your MacBook, it can't be transfered to another MacBook. Since the Applecare it tied to your MacBook's serial number.

1. I don't think the "good" time frame is fairly subjective. What you have now is a quite recent Santa Rosa updated MacBook. If you need a laptop urgently, I don't see this being a bad time to buy.

The MacBook Air and MacBook are for different purposes. If you need the slimness, led screen and the overall wow factor, go for the Air But do keep in mind you lack usb ports, and a dvd/cd drive.

2.I'm not sure bout this one...

What he meant was he wants to FORCE open it in a new tab.

Safari unfortunately doesn't support FORCE opening in new tabs. However you can install this Safari plugin called "SafariStand" which will bring you this feature. Google up for installation and download link.

Back to Tiger ?

I have 1.25GB of RAM and I do noticed lags quite often especially when I have a few tabs opens and switching between them in Safari. I didn't have this when I was in Tiger.

Hmm..

Pre-buying checklist

(1) Check for dead pixels on the spot buying taking it home. That way you can immediately ask for another unit if you see any dead pixels.

(2) Check for fitting and alignment of case. Some MacBook aren't properly assembly, you might notice some gaps.

(3) Other defects for the newer MB won't be known so soon. Wait a couple of days and keep a watch at Apple's discussions forum.

My Magsafe is always on. My MacBooks is usually plug in in sleep mode when I don't use it.

You're welcome.

Did she have a bad experience dealing with the service center? What happened?

I think she is rather misinformed. We do have a Mac service center here. The address...

VR Technology Sdn Bhd
Blok B Megan Avenue 2, Jln Yap Kwan Seng, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan
Phone: 03-2162 2023

If you do encounter problems, you can send it to the retail stores, and then the sick Mac is sent to the service center mentioned above. OR, you could just send it in yourself.

Good luck !

I use a old P4 system for torrents and downloads. Does the job well

For everything else, the MacBook does it.
