hmm guys i notice with my new stock macbook 2.26ghz, when i click on a folder, it takes about 2 seconds for the files to show up.. unlike my pc which shows all the files near instant when the folder is opened..

any way to make the system work faster?

have you updated the efi firmware 1.7?

Should make it snappier,somehow it did the trick for my gf's mbp similar model as yours

hmmm there's a alert which says "This computer does not need this update.." and i am unable to continue with the installation..

means its updated, try using maintenance softwares like onyx helps you repel unwanted stuffs and make the overall performance better,its a freeware,i run it once awhile.

hey the EFI update is ONLY for the new macbook pros... thats why jind86 got a message telling him he doesnt need the update. the EFI update was to rectify the reduced Sata bandwidth if im not mistaken. all macbooks and earlier macbookpros dont need the update.

while cleaning my MB.. i saw got many dusk at the airflow under the screen... have anybody open mb to clean the area? is it easy to do? or need careful process?

if its MB white theres damn a lot of screws to take out, the mb alu or mbps are easier,late 2008 onwards that is.

I've just encountered a weird experience using my Macbook Pro. It happened to me today, whereby, when i turn on my laptop (Using Battery to power up). It was loading at the startup screen where you would be able to see an 'Apple' logo, after a while it kind of tripped off and restarted again. Would it be any possibility that there's hardware faulty to matter? Or is it not stable and i'll have to dl a new firmware?

Thx nimrod for the Harddrive recommendation, i've gotten myself a 500GB WD. I was wondering instead of copying the whole original harddrive contents into the new one via CarbonCopy Cloner, is it better if I do a clean install of Leopard and iLife '09 in the new harddrive? My MBP is still new and i have yet to move any files into it.

do a clean install is better, i normally only recommend ccc if you dont posses any installation disc to certain softwares that might have been lost long time ago. Haha like my CS3 dics,what to do. Better do clean install.

Thanks so much for the advice nimrod. Now to figure out how to fill up all this free space

hey guys , wanna ask about macbook white removable battery. i heard that it expands after a few months and dies after a year . is that true? thinkin of getting a macbook white

Hey how much you paid for the WD 500GB? Me thinking to upgrade mine to 500GB when Snow Leopard releases where I can do a clean install.

plus/minus rm300 according to lowyat prices.

Hi there, don't remove the battery if possible, just leave it there, itll stop charging when it's full so no worries. Regarding the defect of battery, only a few ppl face the prob, mine is still gd after using for nearly 1 year, but no worries, you can claim a new batt if it really swells. The battery dies normally after 400-500 cycles, if you use it frequently then of coz it will die faster that's normal. My health health is still 90% and only 80 cycles

Cool picture.. Does anyone have a SSD inside their MBP? I'm experiencing some slow load times with my harddrive.

SSD is you use MLC then really fast, but SLC sipeh slow
that is normal MBA only
