i just notice sth.. The new macbook's leopard is different build, 10.5 (9A3110)

It's mean that the pre-install leopard in new macbook is not same as the retail leopard. Retail Leopard build is 9A581

got. just need to install yourself via leopard installation disc

Excuse? Intel X3100 la. What ATI?! If ATI, i can play crysis in my macbook lo

Main reason is Gaming. Apart of that, 3D rendering la, Video Editing la, photoshop and those 2D application will have slightly better performance due to no shared memory Hope you get a good idea.. If your main focus is 2D application, then macbook is good enough for you.

btw, the price surely not same but rather expensive. I will expect the price similar to MBP or slightly less. But the spec is lower than MB. probably using Pentium M, most ultra-portable laptop using Pentium M with 1.2-1.6Ghz.

Nope.

If apple "happen" to introduce new category under macbook family, it should be under 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 rather get MBP instead

yea..

Btw, i use like 4-5 days now. Never have such problem, the only problem i have is bootcamp. WHen I try enable "smoke" effect in Pro Street demo. It hang and kena BSOD. XD Well, that probably the x3100 driver fault.

@kunamiya, why don't use card reader? faster le.. For me la, i don't use iPhoto. Just keep it in my personal folder. That enuf, not for sharing btw.

Bolded got problem. Current msn only chatting.. Unless you boot to winxp via bootcamp. And HD video? Yes, mac can. But probably macbook alone can barely handle that heavy task. Macbook pro surely no problem

And your last newbies question, it is illegal to do so. Technically, it is possible. My desktop running Leopard btw..

mine here nope.. Balance.

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

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.

Yea.. But only draft-N, not N. Got a very big different if you into networking.

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

1) dota or WC3 now got UB version and it support in mac. so just get mac version of wc3. Btw, if you buy the latest revision mb, the integrated graphic is more powerful than the older revision. I can play pro street with good fps in my mb.

2) yea.. can run ms office, but it is mac version. Or you can use open office which is open-source and free. Rosetta is PPC emulation. This is because of intel processor. Intel processor only understand the intel code, so this emulation does is to emulate PPC code reader.

well better get it now. If you into macbook pro, then i think it is better you wait till next year JAN for MAC EXPO

the easiest way is check the integrated graphic, if it is X3100, then it is santa rosa. Or you can check the processor. Santa Rosa processor is 800MHz FSB

yea.. it is international. Similar like you buy your apple machine in UK or what, and you can claim warranty at Malaysia

For me, i just plug in the power cable. No harm btw.

I'm pretty sure that's is their own typo when printing this out. You better tell your seller lo..

i'm not sure how other apple store works la. For my local 1, they check your machine part number and serial number. You can find those number under your macbook box. I think it should be the same for other apple store
