QUOTE(Peanutz @ Nov 2 2007, 12:04 AM) Hmm..somehow I still am sceptical that this upgrade for the MBP isn't the real thing yet..more of like, an "appetizer" if you know what I mean No one focus on MBP btw..    Or only a few ppl. Ntg to upgrade for MBP. Why? It already equipped with latest hardware component. Mobile Penryn should be somewhere Feb/Mar 2008.  |

QUOTE(muttonhead411 @ Nov 7 2007, 02:38 AM) the launch of the new intel chips are happening next year first quarter. Apple will most likely not bump up the speeds yet. Even if they do, its a difference of 200 mhz and a higher front side bus speed. one main reason for this is that they allowed 2.6 ghz speeds on mbp. If i were you, i would buy the 2.6 ones, it will definitely be able to run leopard smooth as smooth can be. though so, dont take my word for it if you like waiting. The rumour of a 12'' macbook is a more trustworthy rumour than a new mbp   Btw, don't dream too much. If you know what I meant. Rumor of 12" macbook or ultra-macbook pro with touch technology or whatever started since few years back. Now? Almost end of 2007. There's no actual "news" about that. Just Rumors and Rumors. If later on by next year (2008), there no 12" macbook, then don't be too upset lo. You will wait and wait forever.  PS: Just my thought, my speculation is probably in 2009. 2008 still too early for those touchscreen lappy |

QUOTE(kc26 @ Dec 4 2007, 09:47 PM) It is better to buy a MBP 15" 2,2 Ghz with free upgrade to 3GB RAM for RM7499 from authorized apple shop yea.. alot if you are into virtualization software or gaming in winxp/vista (bootcamp) or "pro" video/photoshop/3D editing. For normal usage, 2Gb is pretty enough. Just moderate I would say. --OR-- buy the same MBP without any free upgrade (meaning 2GB ram only) for RM7099 from Maiself (forumer here).. anyone bought fr him. Good seller? Is 2GB ram more than enuf.>> Will the 1GB additioanal Ram make alot of difference on a MBP |

QUOTE(kc26 @ Dec 5 2007, 10:29 AM) Thanks. i do plant to bootcamp with vista. I guess i will go with the extra RAM. erhmm... no problem la for me. Just legal issue here. If you are doing business or what, then it is better you get the ori vista. For home user, just get you-know-what-version. Who's care about it? Unless you really "support" ori la BTW, you think installing "ahem/non orig" vista via bootcamp on my MBP will be a problem. Do i need original OEM..?? thnks in adv |

QUOTE(kc26 @ Dec 5 2007, 02:44 PM) Thanks bro... What do you mean by that? Vista home is vista home. Or do you mean the service pack? you know what is the latest vista home premium out there..? Did you do vista bootcamp installation urself? Heard alot of stories abt problem with Mac Os after installing vista via bootcamp. Before install, no problem You encounter such problems... true?  Just get vista home or whatever and do the update via internet. Btw, I don't use vista. I prefer winxp more. Why? Cos' less space needed and less resource as well. If want eye-candy, i rather choose Leopard. I use windows just for gaming and programming in my macbook. So far so good, I don't have any problem with bootcamp  In addition, I also use vmware to boot up the bootcamp drive. |
