the squeek getting REAL irritating.. the moment i lift my hands from the palmrest it squeeks..
i called them today and asked if their technician around tomorrow they seem to remember me from my description of the problem.. haha
see how.. maybe will bug them for a replacement..
dun really care about the marware protective pack on it now.. as long as the problem is solved..
my macbook can't even close flushly... the bottom case sticks out

To be frank, these are the things to check when buying, not after. And it's really nothing serious, nothing is perfect obviously, especially after taken it home.

no i did.. then the DAMN SUAY fella who took my macbook out from the store room, went back in to take another cause i was complaning like ass...
the second one he brought out was even worse than mine.. they told me to come back on monday when technician around... i wasn't free last monday.. so i'm going tomorrow.. my MB one week old only
the least they could do is change the keyboard cover la.. its really irritating and doesn't sit flush with the back case.. thats the least i hope they can do la
Added on September 9, 2007, 9:23 pmthe 2 buldges from the bottom case, we'll see how it goes la...

i was at the shop.. after paying, they brought it out, i check it...
i wasn't happy at all.. but when i saw the second unit, i thought i'd take my chances with the first one...
now i regret not making them bring out a third unit from their store... those bast**ds

Haha my MacBook Pro now has the same problem after I took it apart to have a look inside. Is your MacBook a stock unit or you upgraded the harddrive or something?

I m planning to install 2 OS on the same hardisk OSK & VISTA Ultimate and i believe it will take a lot of space for both of the OS

Btw, it should be either cheaper or same price as before. I don't understand why you guys want to install Vista(my friend install ultimate which waste 20GB for that junkie). Better install xp if you want to run some windows applications or games..  Less resource (ram) needed. And most games still support for winxp except DirectX10 and you do require to have DirectX10 graphic card.
