Apple's MagSafe

In Apple Macbooks, there’s this charger port called “MagSafe”. Its the end of the charger cable that hooks up to the Macbook. What makes MagSafe special is, there is no ordinary pin to be shoved up into the charger port, instead, it is replaced with magnet and tiny pins. Why? To prevent your MacBook falling down from the surface if someone trips the power cable.

And, it really saved my MBP a few days back. I was on duty in college (Student Attachment Program) and we didn’t really had to do anything so me and my friend was just chilling and watching video clips on YouTube. I put my MBP on a pile of emptied A4 paper boxes and was charging. Then, my friend got a call and he suddenly jumped off to attend the call and his leg tripped off the cable. Guess what? only the charger was pulled off but without moving the MBP an inch! . If it were my previous Toshiba laptop, that night would have be the tragedy.

Well, I’m just sharing my story here and I’m pretty sure that a lot of Macbooks were saved by this MagSafe port.

Hello, I'm a Mac

I’ve just bought a new Apple’s Macbook Pro 13″ two weeks ago. Since day one, I’m loving it. Although using Mac OS for the first time after using Windows for several years, it’s pretty confusing but after quite some time, I’m keeping up with it. MBP(Macbook Pro) came together with Apple’s newly released OS, Snow Leopard. It has Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 Ghz (3MB L3 cache), 2GB DDR3 RAM, 250 GB SATA II HDD and Nvidia GeForce 9400 graphic card. It costs me RM 4,333 in total after the student rebate. I additionally bought a remote control and upgrade the HDD from 160 to 250 since I got the student discount.

Well, I gotta go now. There will be a new category called “Mac” on my blog from now on
