I was there today and sad to say they don't sell Incase products but alot of Speck.

Specks casings (right in the center) and to the right (cropped out) are sleeves so guess those are not what you wanted.

Ah icic, guess i'll settle with speck case la then unsure.gif . Thanks for the info and picture smile.gif

not "true". Cos' it is based on Intel Penryn Processor.

The biggest plus is the extended battery life. Although its great but I cant wait any longer, scared my sponsor change his mind again and end up with nothing sad.gif

Harlow peeps, another new mac n00bie here laugh.gif

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 smile.gif. I then add a speck case + 10% discount for members and total is RM3815 biggrin.gif

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

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

Aww man, I got some good news and bad news sad.gif

Good news is that I manage to borrow the philips screwdriver to remove the L bracket so that I can upgrade my rams smile.gif

Bad news is that one of the ram seems to be faulty, I insert both rams (mushkin) and my macbook cant boot. Remove one and it works like a charm, right now running on 2.5gb only instead of 4gb sad.gif

Now I need to send the rams to my bro-in-law in KL to claim the warranty, haih sad.gif

The hdd installation is very very simple. If you capable of unscrew a small screws, you pretty much ready. You'll need a Philips 0 or 1 to remove the L bracket and torx t8 to remove the hdd mount, took me about 5 mins to do it smile.gif

ps - above is my experience on macbook 13 inch, not sure about macbook pro tongue.gif

Hey guys, is it normal that it took like 20-30 sec (estimation) to restart/shut down? iirc before the updates, my macbook restart/shut down almost instantly unsure.gif

Also one more thing, whenever I boot up osx my mouse sensitivity always change back to default instead of the settings I configured. Any solution to fix this problem? abit mafan to change the settings everytime laugh.gif

Oh yea, if any of you guys wanna get the mushkin rams, please if can avoid getting from startec. My bro in law went to exchange my rams yesterday and they refuse at first. Said must bring along the laptop and all to them shakehead.gif. After some heated argument between my bro in law and the shop guy, then only they exchange the ram dry.gif

Well the only reason I install windows on my macbook is because of college work. Some of the program used are not available for osx sad.gif

Im getting another laptop next week (free!) so I might ditch windows on this macbook and use it purely for osx (like it supposed to laugh.gif)
