finally got my mbp 13 but donno what kind of protection i need for it. i asked the machines guy, he said apa also no need wor :|

actually i asked this question somewhere but couldnt find which is the thread. sorry if u guys hv seen this question again.

anyway, the package igot is jz a normal keyboard protector. i feel its disturbing the heat ventilation below the keyboard. is it worth it to get the moshi keyboard protector?

also, i heard the palm rest area might have problem after a while...as in the color n scratches. so i think of getting a the moshi palm guard or something. trackpad i think shld b fine without anything.

do u guys get anything for the screen or just use iklear? how much is iklear by the way? machines selling for 80+

sorry ya, first time mac owner. apa pun donno here.

was thinking bout this case but its not cheap lo. i plan to get this and then put inside my laptop bag. the sleeve machines gave me looks bit ....risky. coz can easily scratch the surface.

i considered the speck before but the color not so nice wor. prefer black or silver color of the aluminium. .

mmm the shadow casing, will it cause any heat problem for it? coz i plan to put it vertical as desktop replacement in the future. and is it good enuf w/o any sleeve so that i can put it into the laptop bag?

yea, ordering the shadow for my mbp 13. actually i like mbp as it is. but scare scratch la. the speck's color jz bit too colorful for me. hahaha. so opting for shadow.

reli...the protection alone can kill me liao

got the shadow casing for my mbp. still feel mbp is nicer in its own but i feel safer wif the casing. its quite soft to the touch but the see-thru plastic for the apple logo looks a bit out of place. :|

also my other complaint is the palm rest... the casing is a bit distracting at the edge. don feel quite comfortable since its like something protruding out fr the edge. can feel it wif my wrist.

but other than that, so far so good la.

i changed here n there. it's not perfect also. could've been better - the apple logo placement i mean.
the palm rest area reli hurting my wrist a bit. hahaha.

as for the moshi keyboard protector. looks nice n perfect. soft touch also. only problem is that...it comes off too easily. hahah. coz its non-sticky (thats why wont leave stains on the keyboard).

i think its true that cannot be closed properly. the difference is pretty minimal. i don reli mind about this small difference to be honest.

but one other major concern is the heat. a lot of reviews saying the heat problem will arise if you are using heavy duty stuff like photoshop because it blocks the air ventilation at the back and bottom. the aluminium casing will not be useful anymore. and it'll be worse if u have a silicon keyboard protector. i hope my moshi 1 wont be as bad. but i'll closely monitor the temperature and update here as needed.

mm i ordered moshi palmguard. seen good reviews of it.
screen protector? i can live w/o tat. i actually like the glossy screen (call me weird).

i jz hope the xgear wont overheat my mbp when running adobe stuff.

whoa. u have keyboard protector on?

oh ok ok. thanks for sharing. i do have keyboard protector on. will go get an ext hdd 3.5", iklear to clean the screen...and tat's all. hahaha. but those 2 will get later la. really poor now man.

p/s... i cant utilize my mbp yet coz of leopard. don wan to keep my stuff inside since i gonna do a clean install once SL comes in.

FW = ? yea. mbp not enuf usb, but the hdd is not that big. plan to get a usb hub for other lightweight devices.

iklear is used to clean the screen. it's a kind of liquid.

i've read somewhere that doing a clean install of SL is better. since it's still new, might as well do that.

bro, ur xgear shadow ok ka? mine macam causing heat problem a little. when running quicktime and doing some copy stuff, the temp shoots to 80+
now i took off the lower casing for proper ventilation and so far has been around 50-65 range.

i think the cooler master does help a little. anyway, i'll jz remove the bottom half whenever i don bring it around. i might get the cooler master, any idea where can i get it? and around how much ah?

i think maybe not as much as 15. but somewhere 5-10 is also pretty serious.
