Guys I wanna ask, is it important/essential for me to buy iLife and iWorks for my MBP ????

Yes it's upgradable.
Minimum requirement is core 2 duo and 2 gb ram

im using a 15" mbp with the same 2.4ghz c2d processor with 4gb ram. i'd say rm2200 is a good value, it's fast enough for most tasks. can upgrade to lion no problem plus this is the only aluminium macbook so quite rare hehe

nope. i dont use ilife at all. as for iwork, i only use Pages to draw diagrams/flowcharts (word is a b**** to do that) but Keynote is simply so much better than powerpoint. i think u can just buy Keynote from the mac app store now. but u sure dont NEED them.

hi,

well, ive a bussiness online which mostly involving coding/internet marketing/blogging/abit of video editing and most of the time ill do my job in the unconventional environment which are not-really friendly to laptop like in a mattress/bed etc.

im looking for 13 inch obviously as 11 inch is way to small.

now help me decide should i go for mbp or mba?

and thanks for huge helps!

go for mbp as the spec more reliable

I'll go for MBP too..

if you need it now, then get the MBP.

else try to wait for the macbook air with sandy bridge procs.

current mba is already with sandy bridge right?

get a table and chair bro. protect ur posture +_+ if ur business very good but u dont have good health, no use also

already come out current MBA all feature sandy bridge

but only for online usage air is already good for the work ?

More than enough I afraid

but then its all on SSD for MBA, like that have to either upgrade the SSD or have to carry external HDD edi, sigh

that's why there's the macbook pro

if u have the cash, u can upgrade ur MBA to 480gb http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDAPAE480/

Hiye,

I wanna ask are there any retails other than Mac Store that are selling MacBooks and their payment methods are on 0% monthly payment? Anywhere around Petaling Jaya. I am not local and I couldn't look for a retailer that sells cheaper Mac than those at Mac Store.

I don't know where to post this thread but I hope this is the correct one. If I got it wrong, please guide me to the correct one.

Thanks a bunch!

I think all apple store sells for the same price unless you're a student and you can get student rebate.

This should be in Sub-Forum where we have a dedicated thread to answer this.
But anyway,you can purchase using any CC card to be verified in some store,bring along your passport for their verification.
I could recommend you to go Premium Reseller like Machines,Mac Studio (please google for location) for easy deal and less headache.
Where for a brand new outside they sure asks you to pay more then the display price with add ons.
