None in Malaysia yet, you may be able to get one a bit sooner if you live in Singapore, otherwise you'll just have to wait.

Make sure you're getting it from an authorized Apple dealer, otherwise you'll be screwed come warranty time.
I don't trust most of the retailers in LYP all that much |

I wonder why Apple Malaysia doesn't lower the price. Apple Singapore drops the price of the newly updated Macbook. I bought my Macbook under the Education Discount. Previously it was priced S$2087, now it is only S$2048 (around RM4717). Not too bad rite? Price without Education Discount is S$2188.

The delivery is restricted to Singapore address only. The delivery is free of charge though...and they will send it to you within 24 hours.I was in lecture when the guy called me and asked where's my block. I told him to put it in the residence reception counter. After finish lecture I quickly rush back to retrieve it. No. You don't need a student card to enjoy the education discount. They don't even require you to key in your student card number or what so ever. Even aunty uncle also can enjoy this discount. |

I don't think they will find out. Once you placed your order, they will send you an email telling you that your order is being processed. After that, they will inform you your item is shipped or what. During that time, the item is already passed to their appointed carrier, which in this case, is a carrier codenamed XBAX in Singapore. Even if Apple find out you are not a student, you can always say you buy it to someone else smaller that you who still attends school. LOL. |

I went to EpiCentre in Pavillion but they don't have it yet. I thought they're the premium resellers? They can't even tell me when they will be available.
On the plus side, the shop looks real nice and there's tons of machine to play around with, and the sales guys are pretty friendly too. |

Ohh..too bad then..if that is indeed the price for new MB then im gonna buy one. Its 200MYR reduce than previous one.
The new MB in Aussie here is 1599AUD which translate to 1600x3 = 4800MYR. The current exchange rate is slightly more than RM3 i think. So if the new MB in malaysia is indeed 3999 then its RM800 cheaper than OZ. Can someone confirm the price for the new MB here? |

The upper portion says "with speeds revving up to 2.16ghz" and at the bottom of the page (at the 'Macbook at a glance' part), it has the latest spec.

luige,
1. Your MB comes with intel GMA 950 or Intel X3100? The "A" revision or 'B" revision? 2. Does the cheaper price valid for purchase with Credit Card? |

Do you think I should wait for the PC Fair? I've been out of the pc/notebook buying business for too long now.
Last time I check, the deal doesn't differ that much from the standard LowYat offering. I do know they offer free stuff and all, so I'm just wondering, what kinda stuff can I expect here? Thanks! |

just came back from CG Computer (Switch) Sunway Carnival, i learned from stuff there new MacBook pricing is Rm 3999 for base model, Rm 4759 superdrive + white and black model RM 5459. These price applicable for Cash and Credit Card purchase, but CC purchase need to add 4.5% tax.
New macbook using intel X3100 instead of GMA 950. The older stock sell starting at RM 4199 but comes with RM 400 ++ diskaun on accesorries or another apple product. |

Maybe we can 'gang' up and push for better deals? |

Should be.
The previous GMA950 is Intel's production while the new X1300 is by ATI. |

Then it becomes a Powerbook if you do that. What's differentiating the Macbook from the Macbook Pro is the dedicated graphic card.
What's stopping you from going Pro if you really want the dedicated card? Everything comes with a price, nothing is free. |

Final Cut, Motion, real time HD effects. The dedicated GPUs provide much better performance than the Intel integrated graphics.But ya, I will wait too if possible. January, the rumored date for the new subnotebook is not far off. However, expect the price to be a low end MBP price, it won't be Macbook level pricing. I would guess that it will start at the black Macbook price (US$1500) with lower specs, but significantly smaller/thinner. This post has been edited by tishaban: Nov 13 2007, 12:48 PM |

my guess would be priced around 5k as a typical macbook..`
which is going to be a hard sell as asus eee pc though being only 7" it's priced much more competitively..` unless someone willing to pour in rm4k just for the favour of getting a 13" .. than the 7" for ultra portable purposes where 13" is defying the point of being a truly "Ultra" portable.. |

And ultra portable would be the size of 12.1" or smaller. 13.3" does not really count as "ultra", probably just portable. Btw, i doubt it will be 14.1".

I dont mind 'ultraportable' at 13.3". But the tablet must weight no more than 1.5kg and the lcd must almost fully occupy all the screen part, leaving only a little bezel. For now, 2.27kg for MB is not bad, but considering i want to bring the notebook with me to uni, its get heavier by the time finish class. Lol

Yes it would run smoothly. But you will feel the toil on your MB if you multitask heavily.
One guy told me that getting 2x1GB RAM sticks are only RM100 each, thus making the upgrade RM200 only. |

Don't buy it from Apple of course. Those guys are bullshitting you. A lot of people here bought theirs from non Apple resellers and are working fine on their machines.
Go to those normal hardware shops, and get MB specific ones. Those are cheap, only RM100 per 1GB stick. Let me search for you what type you should buy. Added on November 15, 2007, 12:15 pmOk, here is the RAM specifics from Apple's site and a guide on how to install it your ownself as well: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721 Further read, it might be for the old MB black but still a good read: http://www.blackmacbook.com/guide/finding-...e-black-macbook This post has been edited by Peanutz: Nov 15 2007, 12:15 PM |

Not really sure on that cause I never used iWeb/iMovie before.
But it shouldn't lag. Apple won't be dumb enough to build a machine that is not compatible with their software. Upgrade RAM la, should be safe if you do that. |

Here...
http://www.macsales.com/ A reputable seller. They sell cheap RAM for Macs. The killer is shipping though! If you can, maybe you should organize a bulk of some kind so that shipping can be shared. I would be interested |

The killer is shipping though! If you can, maybe you should organize a bulk of some kind so that shipping can be shared. I would be interested You should order from them only if you're getting 4GB. If you're getting 2x1GB, I think it's way cheaper for you to get someone from Semenanjung to send it over to you. Good luck! |

Unfortunately, that's how it works. There'll be a copy under iPhoto library. There's a tips at macosxhints on how to move the library to another folder. Maybe that can help you with the space issue.

Still debating if PC or Macbook. Newbie with Mac here... So can Macbook do MSN messaging (video call) and Skype.. no problem right? I will be also doing some HD video editing, any problem?

Newbie questions
Can you bootcamp with Leopard and Vista home premium... or it is only WinXP...? And can macbook handle my AVC (H.264) video files from my HD videocam? Can you upgrade the ram easily yourself or is it better to let..someone else do it? How much more to upgrade to 2gb. cheapest option? This post has been edited by kc26: Nov 29 2007, 10:33 PM |

1) yea.. it support Vista as well.
2) Hmm, i think the newer revision can, santa rosa macbook. So far so good, I play hd video(1280x700 resolution) smoothly in my mb. 3) yea.. It is quite easy, just few un-screw, then good to go. But it is wiser to let the apple staff do the job |

noob question about this wireless thingy.. IEEE 802.11n
i know that macbook supports the better 802.11n.. it's supposed to be faster than 'b' and 'g' standard (whatever that is) but what if my isp only based on 'b' and 'g' standard only? i'm currently using "deconnexion" http://www.danawa.net.my/ so if i buy a macbook, the 'n' standard would become a waste huh? since the isp only supports b and g. so the airport thing is rendered useless.. eh? i dunno about this stuffs.

Like transfer huge files between your home network, HD streaming, audio streaming and stuff like that. Apart of the speed, the main different is the range. N or currently only draft-N can have a larger coverage compare to A/B/G. Nowadays no body use A. A is 54MB as well but the big downside is the frequency which is 5Ghz. The high the frequency, the lower the coverage will be. So no one use A. Most ppl use G. Technically, N/Draft-N is said to be faster and yet larger coverage. But the end result didn't achieve that much. The finalize N will be expected in late 2008. Read more at here. There is many differences if you into deeper in networking. QUOTE(rx330 @ Nov 30 2007, 12:09 PM) is the mac built in with N aredi? Yea.. But only draft-N, not N. Got a very big different if you into networking.so i need a wireless N router? but wat is i transfer thins from my notebook (G) to mac (N) will the speed be no difference if im using a G router or even N router? Technology works this way. When there got "old" technology and "new" technology trying to work/connect together. It will use the "old" technology instead of new 1. This is because mostly "new" technology have the backward compatibility. In other words, for your situation, it will use WIFI-g instead of draft-N (to be precise). The speed will have difference if your notebook or whatever is draft-N and your router is draft-N also. If one of them is WIFI-g, then it willl use the WIFI-g instead This post has been edited by allvin: Nov 30 2007, 01:58 PM |

am getting a mac book real soon, probably after or during pc fair, but am not too sure about booting another windows or not.
and i heard about the rams warranty, how true is that the only warranty that will be void is the rams' warranty if we change it ourselves. for occasional gaming purposes, should i boot another windows or will it lag? If I play certain games which are not mac compatible? |

I just bought a 2G Kingston Value RAM from the PC Show here in Singapore. S$69. Dunno it's considered cheap or expensive.
Was struggling whether should get 2 sticks of 1G or just one stick of 2G because the price of 1G RAM is rather lucrative @ S$30. But later decided that 2G stick would be a better investment as I can still expand my RAM to 4G without wasting any sticks. Now the problem arises: I don't know how to change the RAM. I saw a promoter changed the RAM of a Macbook just now but am too afraid to try it myself. What is the consequence if the RAM is not installed properly? |

if you mis-install the RAM, your MacBook will not boot up. also, i doubt you can get the metal cover back in.
I would ask you to drop by my office in 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya, but you're in Kuching? |

This is because of intel processor. Intel processor only understand the intel code, so this emulation does is to emulate PPC code reader. |

If that happens, though I highly doubt so, you can remove the RAM and put in the original RAM.
Then sell off the RAM here in Lowyat. |

I've just installed the 2G RAM I bought yesterday. So far so good. Boot up time is same as before....
Am now running Rember to test it. Hopefully everything is ok. :-) Added on December 2, 2007, 3:44 amJust finished running the tests by Rember and Apple Hardware Test. No error detected. So I suppose I don't have to worry about Kernel Panic or random restart? ![]() I tried to run many applications to test the system. No lagging at all. ![]() ![]() I can also switch between spaces smoothly. ![]() All in all, I am quite pleased with the performance of my MB now.

QUOTE(LeoDaVinci @ Dec 1 2007, 11:21 PM) I've just installed the 2G RAM I bought yesterday. So far so good.

Hopefully everything is ok. :-) Added on December 2, 2007, 3:44 amJust finished running the tests by Rember and Apple Hardware Test. No error detected.

No lagging at all. ![]() ![]() I can also switch between spaces smoothly. ![]() All in all, I am quite pleased with the performance of my MB now. And I hope the newly installed RAM won't cause any problem in the future. how much it costs you for that 1-piece 2GB ? |

kate,
For us to help you, you have to provide us more information. For example, (1) How much RAM do you have? (2) What programs do you run? (3) Elaborate more on "easily lag". When does it lag? How long is this lag? |

Hi, I would like to know whether the APP covers in certain regions or is it globally protected, like international warranty or something? I got mine in the UK and hopefully it'll work in Malaysia too. Oh another question is, how do you uninstall windows xp? Can we do it just with merging the partition and everything back to Mac? Is it that easy?

Apple has a page with battery tips. Google for it.
One good suggestion I've read elsewhere is to buy a laptop cooler for your desk when you have it plugged in. |

rx330: I highly suggest you get your facts right before coming in here to thrust all your anger at meaningless arguments.
The black MB does still come with an extra 40GB of HD space as compared to the mid range counterpart. Unless you have evidence which says otherwise. |

There wouldn't be any problems purchasing Mac items from the garage sales right? As I know, the warranty can be claimed from any Mac retail outlets. Am I right?
