Not likely. From Pudong it will still go to Hong Kong, then come to SG.

Get it routed to your workplace?
Or either that call up Apple and tell them to arrange for a night delivery.

You have the DHL tracking number right? Track it on your mobile phone, then when it reaches SG, you have about 3 hours to go home before the delivery guy comes. The delivery guy will only call you when he's about 15-30 minutes away from your place.

my 2012 MBP seems to heat up a lot now. i suspect the fan needs some cleaning.

Can i send it to any service centre to clean the fan? Also, the battery drains much faster in the last three months.

Anyone can help? MacBook white late 2009, trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64.

Hey apple pros.

Question. After creating the windows partition, my MacBook restarted but it's stuck at the white apple screen. I'm using an 8gb USB stick to install windows 7.

However, I read that mountain lion does not support installation of windows via bootcamp if there is no SuperDrive present. I replaced my SuperDrive with an ssd.

Would just like to confirm if this is true?
