[Heatherette]

^Minsan meron pero madali lang siyang linisan. Capdase and Moshi ang meron ako dati. Yung Moshi ko nawala ko haha Maganda yung Moshi kasi di nag-iiba ng shape.

I got my MBA 11" 128G yesterday.  I need tips on what accessories and programs to buy!

I'm so OC with scratches, so I will probably have this MBA wrapsol'd.  I also need a sleeve. Can you recommend a nice, but not so pricey sleeve?  I don't want something so bulky.

Can you recommend a place where I can have Office for Mac 2011 installed, na not so pricey?  The one from Digital Hub is 7,900 for one user!  I need Office for Mac and will just download Keynote from the Apple Store.

[Heatherette]

^I have iWork '09 (pero may balita na magkakaroon na ng '12), Evernote, Dropbox, Alfred (maganda than Spotlight hehe), Messages Beta (similar sa iPad), AppCleaner, Stuffit, Splashtop and MindNode.

These sleeves are nice

^You don't think it's necessary for me to get Office for MAC? Windows based kasi kami sa office, so I'm worried I might have problems with compatibility of files.

I will get Evernote for sure kasi it's so much better looking than Power Point.  But I still need my Microsoft Word and Excel.

[Heatherette]

^Yung sa iWork naman compatible sa MS Office. Just make sure na hindi .docx ang extension pag sinave sa Pages kasi pang Mac lang yung extension na yun, hindi talaga siya mabubuksan ng Word. So far wala akong problem with Pages. I use Pages sa laptop then i-open ko yung file sa Windows PC (I use Dropbox kesa USB flash drive). Ang problem ko lang minsan yung sa font kasi yung ginagamit ko wala sa Windows.

I haven't tried Keynote and Numbers pero my cousin who is using Excel and Numbers, sabi mas gusto niya yung Excel kasi mas madaling gamitin.

Hello mga sis.. A new MAC pro 13.3"  user here and well, new apple user na rin! hehe I just bought it yesterday and super satisfied ako so far pero I´m still adjusting to the new interface but I am pretty much getting use to it. Exciting matuto ng ibang interface eh..

I have the same thought sis. I ordered rubber/silicone sleeve and keyboard skin online (ebay.co.uk) so it was cheap.

My MBA came per installed with MS Office..Work, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook.  I have Keynote and Pages on my iPad2 and I could open files without any problems.  There are font issues between Keynote and PowerPoint but it's not a major issue for me. 

Accessories I have that I would recommend:

1.  Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth speakers -  http://store.apple.com/us/product/H3163LL/A
2.  Belkin Travel Surge protector -  http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=400738
3.  Buffalo 1TB portable external drive -  http://www.buffalotech.com/products/portable-hard-drives/usb-20/ministation-stealth-hd-pctu2/
4.  Targus Chill mat
5.  Case Logic carrying case -   http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/case-logic-uns-111-carrying-case/21145084
6.  Moshi mini DP to HDMI and Apple mini DP to VGA adapter

^sis xthine, magkano kuha mo sa ms office?

^May Java sis ang Mac

http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml

sis, thanks..try ko mag update

[Heatherette]

^Welcome naalala ko kasi yang Java na yan pag nagu-update ako but I have no clue kung para saan haha

[melvel]

I decided to gave my MBA Wrapsol'd na lang. Will have it done at Digital Hub tomorrow. I'm very satisfied with my wrapsol for IPad kasi.

I also had a sleeve custom made, next week ko pa makuha. Will just post pics of the final result next week.

[Heatherette]

Binibiro ko dad ko kanina na gusto ko ng MBA 11", naniwala naman haha I finally decided na di na ko bibili nun since may MBPro and iPad 2 na ko.

^sis xthine, magkano kuha mo sa ms office?


sis, thanks..try ko mag update

http://store.apple.com/us/product/H2437/microsoft-office-for-mac-home-and-student-2011-family-pack. -  149USD, had it pre installed when I bought my MBA from the Apple store online.

Looks like theyre releasing a new OS this summer, Mountain Lion.

[ning kuting]

Just received a MBP 13-inch as a gift!

I'm now looking for accessories for my Mac. Top on my list are a good quality zipper-less sleeve, Cool Feet, mouse, and portable Laptop table.

Will keep my MBP bare. I have a theory that all those protectors prevent effective heat dissipation. I'd rather have my unit healthy on the inside than scratchless on the outside. But that's just me.

Question mga sis. I'm planning to get a Macbook Air this month pero I just read recently na wala pala LAN port.

I prefer to use wired internet connection kesa wifi.

Pano kaya yun?

TIA.

[xthine]

Apple has a USB etheret adapter

[krock]

hi girls. i have a question, my macbook pro is still on os x snow leopard. i might upgrade to os x lion this month. pero i saw on the website that os x mountain lion is coming out soon, kelangan ba os x lion muna o i can upgrade to mountain lion agad? thanks.

[Heatherette]

^Ang alam ko kelangan. Kasi nung naka-Leopard mga kilala ko hindi sila maka-install ng Lion kasi kelangan pa nila ng Snow Leopard.
