Is there any news about next generation macbook? If not I will get the current one lol..

apple just update the macbook design last yr. so i think the coming upgrade might just be the hardwares only. a slight upgrade, or slightly cheaper. that's all.

i switched at the end of feb. got the alubook, at that time i installed boot camp (just in case). to be honest, i only booted in vista to play games and update my E71's firmware. other than that, never did. when i upgraded my hard disk recently, i never installed vista or xp. i guess i got used to Mac OS already. you just need to spend a couple of days playing around with it and you will get the hang of it. now when i use windows, it feels alien to me.hahah

when i use windows laptop, alway scrolling using 2-fingers n nothing happen, becomes habit ade  doh.gif

yes! i'm facing the same thing! my college's computer all running Windows XP with a stupid mouse. I can't really use the mouse and the system.
Like for example :
1, the scroll ball not as sensitive as apple's (or maybe its already old?)
2, i wanna see all apps in one time also cannot. need to open tab-by-tab. damn mafan.
3, the command key (windows' CTRL key) is not located at the same place. so everytime i press, i'll press ALT =='
4, overall its not as efficient as Mac OS X. so everytime in student lounge (where i use the school computer) also got hear ppl nagging one, which is me ==' like "why so slow one?", "eh! why lag liao ar?", "shit, i forget how to use this ler"

wow... what u mean hot is how hot?? 90c or more?? nv encounter this problem b4..
what i notice is, osx startup is getting slower and slower... shutdown is slow too...
*
yeah, i kinda facing the same problem too. shut down abit slow if on too many days. and start up also abit slow than last time. but i check liao the startup applications, only iTunes helper is going to run when startup. others apps not runnig wor.

QUOTE(ff8ong @ May 11 2009, 08:44 PM)
I saw my RIGHT key also bengkok abit,not visible unless view it carefully and straight angle.

Then i notice some others macbook have the same thing as well.. unsure.gif
*
hmm, i'm not facing this problem. maybe is the workmanship. that day the better working man off day. haha. jkjk.

guys, any1 using wired mighty mouse on a macbook? i saw some1 post his with the mighty mouse on his alu macbook and it looks weird because he needs to cross from left usb port to the right hand and some more the cable is not long enough. well of course the answer is to get the wireless 1 but then the price is almost double.

i wonder why do apple cut costs on the usb ports.

mine also ngam ngam =)

Stay with the fact lo.. technology is like that.. you'll not always be at the frontier of technology..
However, if you bought from Apple Store, you can go for the 14 days exchange policy..

haha. mine also more than 14days already lor. more than 2months already.

QUOTE(golvin @ May 28 2009, 12:25 PM)
AluMB has 2GB DDR3 RAM and LED backlight! And unibody architecture! Yours is still better!

that's it. I am not going to P2P with my MB.. lol..


Added on June 6, 2009, 11:29 pmhey guys, why does sometimes my MB fans suddenly become VERY LOUD.. all out of sudden it is like blowing really hard. it's usually like no sound at all..

The sound only goes away, when I shut down and on it again.
*
maybe u're running alot of flash files. like loading youtube or playing games in facebook.
or maybe editting photo in iPhoto? sometimes i get sound when i'm editting in iPhoto.
