Hello,
Just curious - any Mac users are having this discoloration problem?
Regards,
{Mich}
nope, but than again i've only had my mbp for a week+ ..
since im planning to get apple care within 1 year, im not worried about the discolouration. apple has a fantastic return policy.
im pretty sure they've fixed the discolouration issues already.
xray

Nope. No discolouration problems. Keep your hands clean. If you use the Macbook with sweaty, sticky wrists, it will get dirty. Just use a moist clean cloth to wipe weekly. It'll do.
I don't have anti-virus running constantly, and there are no viruses so far.
Just switch on automatic updates to keep your Mac safe.

really?
so i must be dreaming when im running photoshop on my mbp now huh .. interesting ...
oh well .. its a good dream tho .. i think i'll continue on with it
Issit??? Wow... wonder what are those little feather icons doing on the Macs I've been seeing.
No.
yes, yes! please wake up and read the words carefully "Support". wah lau. trying to be sarcastic right?
no support doesn't mean cannot run.
the reason why photoshop can run on current intel-based macs is because of the 'translation' tool Rosetta. photoshop slows to a crawl when handling certain files on my company mbp where they usually breeze by on the powerpc iMac.
i wouldnt call it a crawl... but its fast enough for the normal/light stuff i do in photoshop:dunno: eg filters/layers/curves
plus there is always aperture
having said that, im sure you will take a core2duo mbp over a powerbook g4 anyday
but you are right, you'll hvae to wait till cs3 comes out before photoshop becomes universal.
5. I know this sounds silly but I have friends who tell me that Macbooks also suffer from virus attacks exactly the same like PC, and the so-called "truth" is actually just a marketing gimmick. Because I am very tired of virus attacks that I encounter every year, the ability to cut down virus attacks is one of the main issues I am looking at if I should buy a Macbook.
Only thing I can advise u is this... DO NOT install boot camp and Windows OS on ur macbook. it screws everything up... well.. that's wat happened to a fren of mine.. more importantly, if i didn't rmb wrongly.. the warranty will be voided should anything happen to ur laptop after u installed windows... running windows makes ur laptop vulnerable to windows-based viruses n such (if im not wrong)... hope my reply helps cos im a noob MBP user..

But Macbook is still consider expensive!
And are you sure you are getting a Macbook???
"Apple admits to MacBook discoloration issues
It was recently reported by certain Apple MacBook users that their white MacBooks were becoming a grungy dirt color faster than you would expect on the wrist rest and touchpad areas. Initially Apple claimed this was due to users not properly taking care of their products. However, according to website Softpedia.com, Apple has now admitted some MacBook notebooks have manufacturing issues with the plastic and users should contact Apple Care via the www.apple.com website in order to resolve their issues."
Im using a silver MBP so no such problems for me.. yet. But a couple of my frens using iBooks are facing this problem now... dunno if it's discolouration or their laptops dirty though.
er... Im using Photoshop CS now.. no such problems.. using the mac version though..
Thanks for the info.
what are you talking about? boot camp can be downloaded from apple.com .. .how can apple void the warrenty of a program that they are providing?
yes running windows makes your computer vulnerable to virus but if the virus will only affect your windows partition of the mac.
i dont know any viruses out there for mac's .. with about 5% market share of the entire computer world, the cost benefit ratio of designing a virus is not there for mac's.
why do you think there isnt anti-virus software for macs? cuz we dont need them. (Im generalizing here but you get the idea.)
Hi Guys,
I really value all these feedback, which is very, very informative for me.
Just curious - what is Windows partition? I heard some of my friends talking about it before but I have absolutely no clue what isizt all about.
Another question - the salesman at Wheelock advised me that to extend the battery life of the Macbook, if I am using power supply, he recommended it is better to take out the battery. I was wondering if by doing so, will it "overstrain" the Macbook or do any longterm damage to the system?
Thanks again for the feedback!
It's a partition lor... like the name suggests. A partition. Don't worry lah, you won't want to install stupid windoze after using Mac lor.
Don't bother about taking out the battery lah, just use can liao. Don't need to think so much.
Did he tell you, if you remove the battery, running on the PSU alone, your processor will run at max 1Ghz?
Leave the battery in lah, won't so easy spoil one.

if you are getting the macbook to do photoediting, forget it. you need to upgrad the ram to 2GB at $400 plus.
It doesn't makwe sense, my old 5 year old P4 1.2 Ghz PC can run faster than my Macbook dualcore 1.8Ghz. with the same 512 Mb ram.
Get the high end ones if you want to use Mac. I regret getting my Macbook. I had tried to learn as much as i can in using my mac but last night its hangs when i open 2 MSN windows only..

That doesn't sound normal. I'm using a 867MHz Powerbook G4 with 640MB RAM and I can open many MSN windows without much lag.
