just for ur informations.
thx =)

ms office isn't free =)

besides, i'm sure if you're an enterprising malaysian, you're sure to think of rather something to do about it

i am planning to buy a base model macbook any defect that i should aware of?

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.

Harlow peeps, another new mac n00bie here

Bought my baseline macbook from epicentre pavilion yesterday. Since they already announce the new macbook update, I got abit of a bargain yesterday, only end up paying RM3699 for my macbook + a few more accessories thrown in . I then add a speck case + 10% discount for members and total is RM3815

Already bought a 160gb hdd and 4gb rams aswell, havent install it yet since i dont have the screwdrivers needed

ps - now need to get a new router pulak since the old one suddenly died

hey...

Im not sure, better call them to confirm before going

anyway...what freebies were included in your purchase?

They were macbook sleeves and marware palm protector.

i know it might sound silly....does the magsafe burn if u leave your macbook on for 24/7?

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

I've seen pictures on the internet of magsafe adapters burning. A google search yields: http://www.appledefects.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magsafe.

I guess it's a good argument to spring for AppleCare.

Does not stop me from leaving all my Macs connected to power via the magsafe adapter tho. It'll keep your battery holding a charge for longer if you have fewer charge/discharge cycles.

sad news..mac fans, my mum disagree in me buying a macbook. she said the service centre here is not good....sigh

the fight is not over yet...

thanks kwekeugene for the post.

You're welcome.

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

haha, my mum never own a apple product before.
one of her friend told her that the apple have no service centre and only the shop provide service ...and therefore is not good, she also comparing it to dell/hp service. Since now macbook is selling at rm3599 my as well i get.

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 !

HEY .. I thought I posted a reply to this thread !!

@seale_navy,
Ah well, it's time to put ur selling skills into action - just try to convince her the pros of getting the Mac u want ... Also, we don't need big warehouses as service centres/areas because the system's stabil enough, unlike uhm... other brands
