latworx,

good for you, as for me im still thinking to wait for updates or buy now.

Please help me on this, now i planning to get a new laptop around 3k...
And i choose MacBook white MB881ZP/A MB 13.3/2.0/2X1GB/120/SD-ITP RM3699, and other brands...
Or other laptop better than this around this price?
And i heard from others that MacOS X couldn't inbreed by virus and seldom hang or lag? Is it real?
Then use boot camp to install windows must install by our own?(Private Windows) Is it hard?
If i want to install private games on Mac could it be? Or must switch to windows first?

First to reply here,it do seldom hang and lag compare to Microsoft windows. Can't say it truely virus or spyware
free,but i not much hacker will interested to created by the way. BootCamp is piece of cake,you don't have to find
it driver because it already preload in Mac OSX installation disc.Either XP or Vista.

Mac do have it own DMG installation Games,exp :COD4.But if you wanted to play windows format game you just have
to boot to windows and play it there,currently bootcamp is still the best option if you want to boot windows with Gaming.

the thing with Macs is not many people use it. so there will be compatability issues for eg. you may not be able to open Word/Excel files unless you install Microsoft word. Another example would bbe like what ff8ong said, you have to boot to windows to play. both examples show that you may have to use windows most of the time. This defeats the purpose of getting a Mac in the first place! But if the majority or people use Mac then it's fine.

i'm not against Macs in anyway. in fact i love their graphics and interfacing and stability! just the practical part of constantly having to go back to Windows to suite everybody else.

That's just my opinion. hope it helps you decide.

Yes,you will have to install Microsoft Office 2008 Mac edition or iwork.In my opinion,i can sense Apple will slowly pre-load
iwork with it ilife together on coming next few years,just my 2cent. Gaming with bootcamp is great actually,even your windows
partition is corrupted or affect virus,your Mac partition will still work without any problem.You can just enjoy both world.

I guess you just have to at least try to have a look on the OS on those retail store,and see how it goes.

Thanks guys, i think i would be the next MB owner...
But only the cheapest Mac lah...
My friend owned 24" and MBP... -.-

TS, add some info on the life cycle of Apple's product.
For certain item, after a certain time, the line of product will be refreshed with newer better model. So, have to plan your timing properly cause you might want to get the newer model or get a cheaper old model that you're aiming for all along.

hey guys, just wondering when is the best time to purchase macbook this year?
i read it somewhere that there will be WWDC coming up next month and it is expected to introduce some new upgrades.

and another question is that, i am looking at the lower range of macbook with ddr2 ram and my old lappy got a piece of 2GB ddr2 ram. is it compatible to use on a macbook?

if u targetting lower end macbook, i dun think u shud wait for WWDC announcement

have any idea how to have firewire on MB alu 13"?

MacBook Unibody don't hv firewire, only the MacBook White has it.

yea, i noe, so then there is no other way to hav a firewire works on MB?Maybe special hub ka hee

hi,
need some opinion from you guys. i'm using ibook G4 (last 12 inch model) almost 4 years and planning to upgrade my mac. interested to an alu and mac mini. the question is, do i have to sell my ibook and buy a new alu or just stick with it and buy a mac mini?

Depends on your usage at the end of the day. Do read the first few post on this thread and see which Mac fits you better.

Keeping your iBook is entirely up to you. My current Mac is a MacPro but i still have my PowerBook G4 titanium series and it's still kickin'.

i m looking for a macbook alu 2.0ghz after days of research i found 1 of our forumer hav a very attractive price offer so i planning to get from him
can i know wat is the checklist option must i check when i COD with him?
for example :
1) make sure the box is sealed
2) make sure the model number exactly
3) blah blah blah?


and how is the warranty for macbook? iizzit same with warranty as sony laptop only start counting when u first time login to the laptop and register it online?

Get the serial# and check if it's valid for warranty here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
If seller agree to open the box for you, check the contents against the manual page 2-3 where they they you what's in the box.
Check for dead pixels on LCD.

Most important is warranty valid.

anymore checklist items need to b checked?
