eer they did that already with the titanium powerbooks, u sure u wanna have a heavy indent-able laptop? Of course aluminum isnt as strong as its a soft metal to begin with. Its waaaay stronger than my plasticky macbook man.

jz wanna ask. i used to take out my battery when used AC adapter with my former toshiba lptp. but now, with my macbook, i'm afraid to take it out coz it will lead to the important part of this macbook like. do i have to do so? how long the battery life then?
*
dont have to plug out the AC,once fully charges the macbook will bypass the battery and take the power from AC.

you need create a partition from the Utilities>Disk Utilities>Partition in Mac OS X.

After you create a new empty space from your HDD.

You will ask to insert the XP CD Installer. Make sure you read the bootcamp pdf.
PDF will be placed on the desktop during the procedure.

You may check youtube videos tutorial for more details.
*
err why all that hassle? just type bootcamp assistant on to the spotlight (magnifying glass top at the side). Set the partition limit for windows or linux that you are installing and insert the disc and follow the on screen instructions. After you are done,insert the first mac osx installation disc that came with your macbook and install that for drivers.

Anyone here using the latest 17" MBP? The display problem (green line) solved? Heard that the battery won't go for 8 hours as claimed by apple, anyone?
Going to get one soon.
*
dude the 8 hours battery life can be achieved if,
A. switch off WLAN,Bluetooth
B. Brightness at 3 bars
C. Use 9400M GPU

I could achieve 5 hours 35 minutes on a macbook Alu and 4 hours on my Macbook White with A & B. Of course long battery life is due to less usage of peripherals that take out alot of charge from the battery.

i recently bought macbook 13" aluminium... it mention 2GB ram on board.. do u mean i can upgrade it to 4GB maximum?
*
Your Logicboard (Motherboard) can take a theoretical 8GB memory(4x4GB) but since Leopard uses a 32Bit Kernel anything more than 6GB(2+4GB) will cause problems,i guess you have to wait for Snow Leopard to go for 8GB,the Logicboard and other peripherals are 64bit.

hehe thanks crazyee you beat me to it, actually Leopard is a hybrid,64bit unix and 32 bit kernel. Means to say once Snow Lwopard comes in 64 bit will be fully employed and the software devs needs to be complaint to this.

i just want to share that last week, while i was carrying my macbook alu in my sling bag, the strap snapped and down my bag go to the hard concrete floor.

end up, 1 corner of my macbook now is dented and looks like a car involved in a small accident.....  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

lucky the glass screen and the lcd and everything else is still ok

wonder if Applecare cover for stuff like this?

from now on, no more sling bags, carry laptop in backpack  sweat.gif

well nope,cosmetic damage caused by user intentionally or non intentionally is not covered by applecare,same goes for the guy who sat on his MBA by mistake and broke it in half,very huge guy indeed to crack an unibody construction.

Guys,
I bought my macbook  for 2-3 months now.
I noticed that there's two small dots of dead pixel on my screen...can i actually bring it back to Mac and  change a new set or something?
Thank you.

bring it to the technicians for a check up,then plot your next course of action normally they'll replace the screen.
