i think the macbook price is okay. decent laptops are in the 3k-4k range. dont compare the specs though...at the same price point a windows laptop will have better CPU etc. but here's the thing...people want a fast CPU because they want their computer to be fast right? but in windows, u need to run so many other programs like antivirus, malware protection, firewall, etc...and all this will slow down a computer.

maybe u can say a windows PC is like a huge lorry.... huge 7 litre engine, lots of horsepower but cant go fast because it's heavy. n macs are probably 2 litre engine, good looking n easy to drive cars, but can go quite fast due to less weight

yeah this post is very fanboyish haha. but it's pretty rare to see someone bought a mac, regret it n move back to windows. that's saying something

bro, you're in apple section now, all apple user here..LOL

yeah. never move back to windows.

Hey, i ported back to windows. Now i use both.

Well I'm using OS X and Windows at the same time.

It depends on one's preferences laaa. Mac is not about style only but usability out of the box.

If you're a gamer - go for windows machine
If you want to try something new, with no virus attack and quite the eye candy - then try Mac

This kind of questions brings me back to the "Should I buy the Macbook Air" question last time. When ask why, just want to look cool and show off.

yea i know, lot of us using both OSX n windows at the same time, myself included

i meant very few mac users jump ship n go back to exclusively using windows

but then what's wrong with wanting to look cool n show off hehe

Once you go Mac, you'll never go back.

But I go back and forth between mac and windows.

I am forced for ported back to windows as school WebCT cant read through Mac's Firefox
but i am using both lah...
cos love that user interface~lol

i'm using both... windows for gaming, and MATLAB. mac for other works.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me which Mac store offering Ezypay from Maybank?

MAC City does... 12 months installament...but they charge extra 3%...

Now im waiting for promotion... I remember during Christmas time they give plenty of peripherals and RAM upgrade...

then the macbook got ACPP.it is realy need to change ownership?if the seller not the real owner\lost contact real owner how?

thank you

Having big dilemma now. Wanting to switch back to Mac asap, but wondering if I should wait for the next upgrade. Can't be waiting till May/June.

I just hope that when they introduce iPad in April, they will update Macbook alongside with it.

So far there has been rumours on upgrades on MBP, but not MB.

MacBook white = go buy now
MacBook Pro = wait(maybe up to 2 months)

Do you think they are gonna update it during iPad release?

Nobody will know, stalk on Mac rumours more frequent, but they jus updated the MB pro recently, don think they gonna do it so fast, but who knows xD

i think there wont be an update for macbook. of course i wont know for sure, i just think macbook n ipad are two different products so they wont tie a macbook update with the ipad

anyway dun worry too much about new update or not...if the current macbook suits ur needs then go ahead n get one. even if there's an update...probably it'll come with core i3 but will lose out the awesome 9400M

I can wait till April 4 when iPad is out and see if there is any update. Well, usually they also do updates on other hardware together with new product release.

One thing I am afraid is, i3 macbook will be much expensive than the current Core 2 Duo. So when i3 is out, Apple store is gonna obsolete Core 2 duo macbook. When they do, then resellers will try to clear Core 2 Duo Macbook. And when reseller does a clearance at a lower price, it won't be cheaper than the Education price of Core 2 duo Macbook.

That means, I might end up buying a more expensive Macbook due to new updates launch.

Hehe.
