question, apple claims the new unibody design allows for them to build thinner notebooks.

however, upon comparing the unibody macbook 13 and the older white macbook 13, the lower half of the laptops have the same thickness. how come?

i think the lesser thickness is due to a thinner lid (using LED lighting instead of the old method)

where internals are more or less the same (the lower portion) the macbook white and the unibody macbook still have the same thickness - so i am questioning the logic of saying unibody=thinner laptops.

and yeah 1" laptops are cool

if your mb pro is connected to the net by ethernet, i think you can use your mb pro's airport card to transmit wifi signal, go to internet sharing under sharing under sys pref.

hi, does anyone know what to check for so a 2nd hand macbook has original parts? (ie: user replacable parts such as hdd, battery, and ram are replaced with 3rd party)

well, i'm finally part of the Macbook club, got myself a 2nd hand 2.0 ghz macbook alu. need to get used to the new touchpad

i know the touchpad is awesome and all, but previously my preference is to disable tap-to-click due to crazy amount of false clicks when i accidentally brush against the pad.

without tap-to-click on the new touchpad, dragging stuff around is hard as you need to press the pad then drag while continuing to press the pad. need lots of finger power

it would be great if you can activate drag-lock without tap-to-click

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.....

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

13" mbp can go to 8gb ram. is it the same with 13"umb? since i dont think they changed anything chipset-wise....

i thought ram modules only come in power of 2? 1gb, 2gb, 4 gb... where in the world can i find 3gb modules??

2 x 3gb = 6gb (max for umb)

i plan to max the ram for my umb in the future when ddr3 become commonly cheap. more ram is never bad, esp when you plan to do lots of virtualization

but can the umb support 4gb stick? if yes, whats stopping them from taking 2 x 4gb?

can anyone tell me why my mac tries to logout after sometime inactive? i usually leave it on through the night to download, but in them morning it always says that logout failed because some programs didnt shut down (usually safari as it need confirmation to close tabs)

anyway to disable this "feature"?

nope, didnt work. system still tries to log off
