one more thing.. lucky apple don't like to stick thier stickers on the palmrest.
like sony, they stick thier stickers at the palmrest, like how many ram, how many processor, wad gc and bla bla bla which is so fugly.
and just now i saw one hp dv3 series also got this hp sticker there which is so big and so ugly.

lucky apple make it allll clean and nice. even i feel apple mb's(or mba/mbp) keyboard's design is just clean and doesn't make ppl dizzy. with thouse many many function. apple did make full use with the F1~F12 keys.


**just feeling posting something. but i dunno anyone agrees?

my compaq got the stupid intel centrino and windows vista ready sticker ugly as hell. i dont like how normal laptops have the lights all over the place and after using the mb large trackpad, reverting back to a smaller one was never the same again
*
yeah, totally. who cares if u use vista? since they say its the most biggest technology failure in the world (vista). lol. hope i didn't insulted u >.< and yeah, the trackpad is so big size and so many area for our fingers to run along. unlike other brands, small and useless. and anbout the LEDs the have. its in yellow and it sucks. some are in blue, and its not comfortable for our eyes. what ever it is, i prefer apple's classyness.

now its nout about the software, its about the hardwareeeee!!!!!! thumbup.gif



and design..

em actually i dun relli agree with this. i for one buy mac because of the OS. no ones gonna buy a mac with windows as its native OS now are they? hardware wise alot of windows machines have the same hardware specs as macs except well mayb the trackpad. other than tat relli can find the hardware we get on our "books" in other windows machine. so Its about Software , hardware yes but not as much =) oh yea in terms of design. ppl shud worship Apple lol thumbup.gif

yeah.. so i think i should change "hardware" to "design".... the word "design" is way much more better. hahahah... rclxms.gif

i jsut went to wach some of apple's vid about iwork.. it can save the files as .doc .xls like MS.... so i think it would be okay..

wth u guys wanna install ubuntu/linux on Mac.
Most probably all the opensource software that u want to run on linux can be installed on OSX.
this is just insane..

we (or I) just wanna see how they looked like only. its like, we have the opprtunity to try it FREE, why not giving it a try?
and, if it really sucks, we can tell out frens that it sucks and it'll make one chatting topic for us already.
well, i thought human like "free"stuffs? maybe not for u though...

it's not about opensource software, we wanna give a try and learn on stuff

And, how do you actually change what graphics card your using? I have my MBP for 4 months already and I still dont know. Zzz.

P7350 and P7450 don't support Intel VT.
Which is my current unimb. mine only 2.0ghz which is the P7350...
gosh.. Intel VT (except P7350 and P7450)
