well.... the screen size also plays a part, n some other factors
mainly maybe my wife may be using it for her designing courses, if tat happens i will use her early 2008 macbook

ok.. that cool even 1920x1200 still can all high... yep, max only 30fps..
mine with 1200 x 800 also cant maxxed out

Screen size? You'd save a lot if you picked a Macbook + external LCD combo.

As for your wife's designing courses, I assume that would stress the processor and graphic card much. Wouldn't you worry that your wrapped MBP be stifling hot when doing this?

bro, most of the time u are using 9400 or 9600?

you sounded pretty much like an engineer

Nope, I still remember my science and physics class lessons in high school.

Although I do deal with heat dispersal and heat induction during my days at work.

hapa, 9400 nia

string, london weather shud be fine i guess
worst comes to worst, i will strip her naked

That changes things, rx330. If the MBP is in London, then wrap her in leather jacket, it will still be cold there.

Just remember the climate change once it changes its geographical location to here.

ya, bloody depressing the weather over there, shes is back in msia now, going back to london next week though

high school mana ada ajar conduction / convection heat transfer... tu blajar kat U.. especially for engineers n science students... bleh jd eng la plak string

Errr, got....or was it A-levels? I think it's during A-levels, but IIANM, the basic principles of heat transfer were taught in high school.

Aku tak habis U bro. Ada advanced diploma jer.

if i'm not mistaken i think it's Form 4 or Form 5 physics subject got those heat related topics and the basic heat transfer calculation.

There you go.

I'm a lazy ******* when it comes to studying, but thankfully I pay attention during classes.

haha basically String, rx330 got the same principle as me for getting MBP ~
Firstly "Screen" whereas is portable
Secondly better "Graphic card" Watch movie i guess
Thirdly "Backlit keyboard (using in the dark after 12am)
Lastly is stated "PRO"

Although we paying quite high price but i think worth it, is tat so rx330

Hmm...MB + 24" Cinematic lcd? will tat be costly as well? More electric power consumption i guess

I'm trying to decide now if I should get the MBP vs MB. You are right about the screen, the LCD on the pro displays colors excellently, better then the MB from what I've read.

The other thing is the graphics card -- GPU performance is much better then the one on the MB -- with snow leopard coming up ("Grand Central") with the ability to take advantage of multiple cores and GPUs I see the machine as future proof.

The only disadvantage is the battery and portability -- I've read it can only last for about 3+ hours? And I'm not really too sure if I want to carry around the extra weight. In fact, I would have gone with the AIR if you could upgrade it, and if it wasn't so damn expensive (for the specs you get).

The MB is a good size, but then again the graphics card isn't all that --- but pay only a couple hundred more and you get the Pro.

I am once again stuck in a dilemma.

My gist of enquiring his plan to use his MBP stems from the concern about rx330 wrapping his MBP with that InvisibleShield. Heat would not be an issue should he picked a normal Macbook, plus it fits his scale of operation with the things he needs to do. Then his location sort of throws all caution to wind, since the MBP will largely stay in a location which heat would not be much of a problem, compared to our tropical climate.

I agree with the screen asset argument, but watching movies would not require anything more than even the old GMA930 on the old Pre-Santa Rosa Macbook. Backlit keyboards are available on the high-end Macbook, so that is an option if the choice of graphic card is not an issue.

All in all, my concern was the "overkill" factor from the things he would want to do on his MBP. But hey, who am I to say anything? It is after all, our own money. Others may find my decision to get my gaming laptop, an "overkill" as well, but it serves its purpose to me. The same matter may apply to rx330 as well, so with this, I say, use it and use it well!

Added on January 1, 2009, 1:11 amMy view on things, buy things based on what it can do NOW, not on what it promises in the future, because by the time that promise is fulfilled, there are already better spec-ed laptops available in the market, and at better pricepoint too.

But it on what it can do NOW, and based on what you need it for, at the present.

I've been using the MB for a week.. I should say that the thing that I love the most for the moment is the touchpad. I mean the multitouch.. for the 1st time, I would prefer the touchpad rather than an external mouse
anybody else agree?

Yes, I definitely agreed! Much easier to use as compared to my Wireless Mighty Mouse...

Edoras, the speck cover is hard case or like rubber?

Its hard cover.
