btw, the new white MacBook can run 8GB of RAM

such a good idea wei, thanks


sorry mates what is FW? plus no backlit for the keyboard rite? nice opinion bro


U give me some space to breath bro, tq

R u sure sir? looking at the spec on the website saying only up to 4GB

nope, it only support 4gb of RAM

FW = firewire....not a neccesity but you'll be glad when your external storage supports FW and when your transfering large data.

thanks mate for the clarification

oh firewire i forgot that, yeah thats another advantages when dealing with external hard drive
thanks

To have FireWire is good. But to pay RM700 extra to get that feature is another question. Also don't forget FW casing/drive also cost more, unless you already have large collection of FW devices, otherwise it's not really a big concern compared to the savings.

If someone gotta deal with lot's of large file (>10GB average), I would suggest them get the higher end models instead.

If you're comparing the old MacBook white( not unibody version) with MBP, no doubt I'll say MBP is btr, yet since now MacBook white has gone unibody as well, IMO I'd rather get the MacBook white instead of the MBP~

1) Apple is original white~ Man, I love this word xD
2) Cheaper of coz, with not much diff in term of specs
3) Firewire and SD slot, ask urself do u really need it.
4) the old version of white the palm resting place gets dirty easily, but the new one it seems they had changed it to glossy surface, very nice indeed, still if you get the white, the maintenance will b harder than the MBP.
5) There's no optical in the new white, not sure whether the pro has it or not.

This is what I saw from website ,



and also quoted by the website : " Oh, and that gloss-plastic that scratches so easily up top? Yeah, it's just as wimpy on the sides -- we've maybe plugged one or two things into this USB port and it's already dented up. In fact, the more we used the MacBook, the more disheveled it got -- the unibody build might make it stronger internally, but on the outside it's soft white plastic, and it shows right away. "

Is it a serious problem ?

maybe that guy didnt plugged it softly

if TS dont need firewire port then go for macbook white. sure firewire is good, but drives with firewire are expensive. if u move large files only once in a while, juz be patient a bit. target disk mode is a very handy feature but its not like we use it every month (if at all). since the screen of the MB is the same as the 13" MBP, i'd say get the MB

in my opinion, invest with protection stuff (casing, screen protectors, invisible shield) BEFORE getting ACPP. ACPP can wait 1 year, doesnt make a difference if u buy now or 11 months later. but in that 1 year, u might get scratches or blemishes. the technical parts are already under warranty when u buy it, but no one's gonna do anything if u get scratches. so protect the stuff that isn't protected yet

Now this is what i call cucuk buta

think of getting 1 quad core 27-inch IMac , do u guys think is a good deal for the specs that it offers ?

27-inch: 2.66GHz
2.66GHz Intel Core i5
2560 x 1440 resolution
4GB memory
1TB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512MB

RM6,999

i assume this would be the i5. If you need the performance (photo/graphics/encoding/etc) then yea go for it man. good price, however if you deal with alot of video editing, I would suggest u go for the i7 quad core as it have hyper-threading. More info here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading

That is IF the software supports HT at all...

yes yes yes of course the i7 is faster but the i5 is already very capable. with that radeon HD 4850 pumping nice graphics for that 27-inch, who can say no??

unless got no money like me lah heheh

i think it's a good deal, somemore if you buy with student price, got discount rm400, it's RM6,599.
with 2560x1440 resolution, not many LCD on market have such high resolution, so far i only see sony and dell selling.
led lcd, is quite new technology, samsung selling rm1xxx for 24" ...

i also waiting for the new iMac arrive malaysia store, MacStudio told me still need to wait 1 month.

Thats an IPS panel there, color gamut would definately be better than the average common brand using TN panels.

student price valid for high school & college students ?

Affirmative - you might want to check online now or your nearest authorised apple reseller to see what kind of document they would need. I cant confirm yet but due to recent student transaction at the apple online store the procedures has been OR are in the process of being ammended.

just purchased my first Macbook white ystd! haha..
love the design and i think shud take quite a long time to get used with it >.<
hehe i'll definitely love it!
