My new macbook =) what to check for?

pushten · Nov 4, 2008, 07:50 AM

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been lurking around for some time and now I've finally got a new macbook 2.4 to replace my ibook g4. Anyway while I want to install Mac Office soon on my macbook I would like to know what should I check out for before I do so in case something's not right as I don't want to waste an installation. Some things I found different from the ibook was 'deleting' seems slower than what I remember. Is it supposed to be like that? Also I'm still not too used to the trackpad button; I have to use more effort than I thought to depress it.

Other than the above, everything seems fine. My top keys seem slightly slanted but it doesn't bother me. As for the battery cover, I have no intention of opening so I hope it stays problem-free.

Another thing, I bought an ipod nano to match and embarrassingly, I'm having trouble removing it from the plastic packaging. Anybody knows?

And pull the plastic tab on the top to remove the plastic and it will open

Okay I just got my ipod out! I'm still unsure if I should open the battery cover as I got my macbook direct from the supplier so I suppose it would be a hassle to go an exchange.

Will be more hassle in X month! and an apple store will exchange it for you (but it probably wont be loose)!
