wanna ask..

does 13'3 macbook hv RJ11 port for dial-up purpose?
does it hv bluetooth?
is there any remote control?
do u think 2.0Ghz/2x1GB/160GB is okay for 3 OS(MacOs/XP/LINUX)?
*
No modem for dial up coz now using streamyx and need LAN connection....

Yes it got bluetooth 2.1

No remote control and need buy seperate on apple malaysia website.

I think it can run Mac OS X, XP, Linux, and also Vista if you want...

If you on Macbook Unibody 2.0Ghz, you can play it without a problem. No need to bootcamp to play warcraft. It already cider can play using Mac OS X.

Probably cause of the older kinds of batteries. The ones nowadays dont need to take out to prolong the life of it.
*
No, it because the other OS cannot do same as Mac OS X can divert power direct from adapter without through battery.

I see better when comparing between using acer and macbook. The OS X really satisfied me than windows. Now, only using at VMware when needed only.

It's easy to understand why OS X does better on laptop power.

Apple Lab:
- Focusing only merely 5 current laptop model (MacBook Polycarbonate, MacBook Unibody, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 15" & 17"). And they engineered the battery.
- Supporting pass model that's still within 3-5 yr purchase. Say... 100 models total?

Windows Lab:
- God know how many new model they have everyday...
- And you get funny types of battery no sure where they came from...
- So each brand have to supply patch/update to "sumbat lobang" to make it better. Or request a uniques version of OS from Microsoft...

And how you ensure the OS best compatibility if you can't pinpoint the hardware??

my MB is plug whenever i'm using it at home. it showing 100%.

when i shutdown, and turn on the next day it show 99%... and will be 99% forever although the cable is plug. aren't it suppose to charge it till 100%?

if i want it to be 100%, i will need to unplug it, wait till the battery drop anything less than 98%, then only it will charge. else it remain 99%.. why eh?
*
It normal, and it wil drop until 95% and after that it will recharge the battery again. I think it mechanism to save the battery life.

a machine will always be machine, and most of it will brake down anytime it want. so standard warranty + extended warranty will always be the solution.

i bought mine with 3 years warranty. because, i'm not a person who will keep changing laptop every year. yes i'm a loyal user eheheh. so warranty until 3 years will make it safe for my macbook and also me.

my previous laptop, fujitsu brand, come with 1 year warranty. right after 1 year it start to make problem. very smart, within 1 year of using it, no problem at all. but when the warranty finish, it makes problem (as if fujitsu has add something inside it to brake down after 365 days LOL).

so the extended warranty is a must buy, try get it in lowyat.net cheaper.. i bought mine at machines RM8xx.. suddenly i saw in here selling rm5xx.

p/s even the brand new apple macbook will have problem. not just the refurnished one. again get the extended ACPP...
*
I also want buy ACPP, should be on August to get it. As long my warranty expire in end of november...
