I would think so. I think when they mentioned the new 15″ they said it has the same built in battery so they probably made it the same way which means it’s just as easy to change out.

Thanks for the video, very helpful.

With the announcements for the new MBPs today, I am thinking that the new 15inch and 13in are going to be the same as this!

Comment on iPhone Push Notifications are great…but are they useful? by Jas

Thanks for the replies (this and your others).
It makes sense to me now.
I guess I have a lot to learn! :))
I’m coming from a Symbian OS background hence my confusion on background process restrictions. There are many other differences too, but I’m hoping to delve into iPhone dev. Your site is quite inspiring.
Keep it up! Think I’ll check back time to time.

I have had zero issues with my macbook pro since I’ve had it. I’ve very happy with my purchase. I guess it’s how you treat it too, I am very careful with my computers so that might have something to do with it.

Hey Jas, well technically there is a background process running, as with many OS there are many running but Apple does not give developers the option to create these. We’re limited to what they give us and they wont allow us to create processes in the background. Second, when I said you have to maintain a server I mean you have to keep track of users and actually send out the notifications to Apple. The way it works if you connect to Apple via a socket and then push notifications to their server and then they push them out to the phones. You have to keep track of what messages you’ve sent, when, to who etc.

OK firstly I’m new to the iphone (I dont have one! nor any Apple product - soon to change when I get my MBP17″). So excuse my ignorance… The above presenter on the push service said no background processes running. But surely a socket listening out for incoming msgs is still a background process ? And it would have to buffer the msg(s) and interact with the receiving app in order to pop up the “badge”. Am I talking rubbish? Just trying to understand. Also, could you explain why you’d have to “support the server that pushes out notifications”. Again excuse the ignorance. Thanks for any response.

Me again
Lots of macrumors peeps reporting bent lids on the uMBP though they are mostly 15″ owners. How’s your one? Seems straight enough to me from the front pic. But I do notice the slightest gap just above the superdrive but maybe it’s just the light.
Hope mine is OK !

Comment on Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Review by Jas

Hey
I’m also on the look out for a BT mouse (waiting for delivery of a new uMBP 17″). Did you consider the Logitech V470 at all? It’s the one I’m leaning to right now. It has a side-to-side action on its wheel not sure the MS one does (maybe bit of a gimmick).
Anyway, I started of looking at your page out of interest on your work, and ended up as usual on what stuff I can buy.

Cheers,
Jas.

Hi just wondering do you know is a drive installed with OSX 10.5.6 on a unibody macbook pro 2.53Ghz going to be compatible with a unibody 17? ie. can i just pop the HD out of the 15″ and install into the 17″ with no issues - with firmware etc etc??

I’m just using my new MBP 17 and booted up from my old HD from my 15″ via Firewire.

thanks

Derrick
