Guys,wanna ask can MacBook (not MacBook pro) upgrade to 4gb ram?or 2gb already max?
Besides,can MacBook / pro support VGA output to my normal LCD monitor?

I m actually a designer,looking for a mac.which 1 u guys suggest?MacBook/pro?

u can upgrade to 4gb RAM. u can even configure it to 4gb at the online store.

yes u can output to VGA, but u'll need a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

designer got so many types leh . if juz 2D the macbook (or the 13" and low-end 15" MBP) should do fine. if u do 3D modelling, the 15" MBP with geforce 9600m GT is a safer bet. we can help u btter if u tell us more on what do u expect from ur computer. n ur budget of course.

wow thanks a lot si fu. i am just graphic designer just doing 2d work perhaps sometime heavy FA work.
if can upgrade to 4gb now macbook looks pretty tempting to me as i don't have much budget on this. my maximum budget is rm4500.
so should i go got macbook or macbook pro?

Hi guys,
I'm moving to college and plan to buy an apple...
My budget is about 3.5k~4.0k++

And i made my research about Macbook... i went to APR just now for more info...
and i found out iMac 21.5" only cost 4.0k++

Which one should i go for? iMac or MacBook? i was planning to get a laptop so that i can bring it to Uni... but i can get iMac with the same price as i buy MacBook.... please give some suggestions and advice...

on the other hand... i'm a windows user... and i definitely will need windows to run on my new MAC... but i won't buy ORI software for that... anything i can do for that?

Your precious advice is fully appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but I have to ask:
Why would you want to get a Mac if you're most definitely going to use Windows? :|

Anyway, in terms of specs, of course the iMac is better. But if you NEED portability then the MacBook is the answer.

juz bcuz he definitely needs windows doesnt mean he'll only use windows. i still need windows for engineering applications, but for anything else i use OSX

TS, i cant imagine going into uni without a notebook. u'll need to bring around ur computer for group discussion, do reports/study at the library n stuff. get the macbook. n no discussion about non-ori software here please

Yeah agree with dvlzplayground..
It's kinda hard to imagine the life without laptop in a college baby! haha..
Library, Lab, and class needs your lappy~~ lol.

Since you say you wanna bring it to college, that the answer for you already, buy a Macbook.
Unless you already have extra laptop, so you can get a iMac ~

OR

You wanna carry your iMac also can, since everything is wireless and the iMac just need a power cord plug
(Kidding Only) =X

Just get a Macbook, I love it because of the battery, normally can get around 5 hours for me with wifi and music on.
But if you more on Windows, that the different story, I found out even Windows XP, it drain your battery very fast.

Ok guys... finally i decided to get MBP 13.3" uni, but when will the next generation come? anyone know?

I iz sked the new gen release right after i buy...

If you keep thinking like that, you will never get your MBP 13"

how long are you willing to wait? there's a pretty high chance that the core i5 and i7 chips will start to show up in MBPs in jan/feb, but for the 13" MBP not so sure.

Haha... true...

owh... i can wait depending on the value/worth to wait... hahaha... jan/feb? so soon... then i can wait... but will the price alot more expensive? or normally should be around the same?

Apple works in this way

Same price (or a bit lower) - better hardware

If you want to play the waiting game , I say wait till somewhere middle of next year. Then you'll see Apple would be using 32nm Core i5 processor or i7 for their high-end MacBook Pro

may i know the difference between Apple Authorised Reseller and Apple Premium Reseller?

looking at the world "PREMIUM"... one good example of premium seller is MAchines... authorised is just normal seller...

is there any difference if i buy an apple product from either one reseller ?

Can you please define Premium and Normal..?

Does anyone know when will Apple have sales promotion like Back to School? Or any updates on the Macbook/ MBP lines?

Looking to get a mac but worry Apple updates after that.. Anyway still can't decide which to get Macbook or MBP? Any comments?

next year , apple notebooks and desktops coming with Intel i7 CPU (:

No need to wait next year if you are going for desktop i7 coz it's already there..
