Mac World

In the end the question is: Are you going to be intelligent or be a follower?

Its your choice my friend. Today, in the present, we see so many people choosing to be followers and not have a care in the world to educate themselves so that they can make better choices.

Macintosh computer have always been last and second best to PC’s. Not just in this day and age, but since the beginning.

If you buy a Macbook you will be GREATLY limited in what you can do. When you buy a PC this will not be the case. Corporate greed on Mac/Apples side has made the decision to do this and limit its customers because they want you to only use their software and their hardware and so SO so much more than just that. If you are a person who likes your freedom don’t buy into slavery. Don’t be ignorant and pay that ridiculous price that they charge for what in my opinion is not a “real computer”. It is not a computer because you can not do all you should be able to do.

So what they did was make it a trendy thing to own a mac. If you make it a fashion statement then you have a good marketing strategy, and that is just what Mac did.

I actually just bought a laptop after over 10 days of looking and found a pretty cool deal for a very powerful computer. Great for a student, heck, at this price and with this power it’s great for anything. At this point I couldn’t be any happier with my new laptop. There’s a seller on Amazon called “Electronic Mind” that is selling some really powerful Acer Aspires way below retail value and has the lowest price on Amazon all together.

Here is the link:

I don’t know how they can sell them so cheap but I have had mine now for 2 weeks and I am very happy with my choice. I’m playing some awesome games such as Fall Out New Vegas, Black OP’s and other cool games. Best of all all of the games play really smooth. I use this for my college classes and work as well in addition to audio engineering programs.

With Acer Aspire you can’t go wrong. The laptop is wicked, I am running very strenuous programs on it such as music production software and hardcore games and it can take anything I throw at it.

Take my advice, for what you need and in addition for what you want to do such as gaming ect…….. Get one of these, you will not regret it!!!!

Oh yeah, I just wanted to add that:

Chels who also answered this question on here is an idiot who only believe things they hear such as roomers and gossip. Mac can easily get a virus. As a matter of fact many new virus are being written now for the Mac platform. What freaking world do you think were living on here Chels? I for one have never gotten a virus on a PC and many others will tell you the same thing. With a good antuvirus program you will NEVER get a virus.

Their are lots of things that are new about the “new” MacBook. First of all It comes with a brand new Nvidia GeForce Graphics card which makes the graphics 5x’s faster, along with that the screen is now LED with glossy, glass display. This means that you see clearer colors that are more defined, it also means that their is essentially no warm up time when you lift the screen up. The New mac has a trackpad that doubles as the button. The whole thing is carved out of one piece of aluminum making it lighter yet more durable, with a sharper look. Also if you are a “Green” person, then the new one is for you. The processor works on the lowest amount of power needed for the current task you are doing. That gives it an Energy Star rating as well as EPEAT gold rating; it uses 1/4 power of a light bulb! Their are so many more reasons to buy the new Vs. The Old. If you have the money do it!

Hold the T button down while turning on the MacBook. This will bring it into target firewire mode, and the computer should mount on the desktop.

admin answers:

I could be wrong but most laptops I’ve seen have keyboards that are replaceable.
Maybe if you could find the part # of the keyboard, get if fixed, you could sell it for more.
Try to find the manual or something and see if it has a parts breakdown, call the manufacture and ask for a part #…
Should be an easy fix.

admin answers:

100 dollars.

admin answers:

2nd hand would be fine if you are getting it from Apple refurbished. If you are getting it from ebay – make sure the seller includes the installation disk with it (vital for password recovery)

The newer one should be slightly faster – just depends what your preferences are.

admin answers:

Either macbook is going to be a little over 1000 dollars. But, it depends what you need the computer to do. Flash Storage is not that important unless you are using it for a professional business. First make a list of things that you want the computer to do. Include on that list the specs you want the computer to have. Then do some research on the internet to find the Mac that best fits your needs.

admin answers:

Well you dont know this that if you buy the mac you can alos put windows vista on it and you can do the same with windows if youbuy the mac book it would be better cause you can partion the harddrive and then put Windows Vista

E-mail me for more information

General consensus seems to be that the USB option is the best way.

admin answers:

Apple doesn’t recommend that you leave your MacBook charging all the time. The main thing you can do to maintain battery health is to drain it down as far as you can once a month and then let it get a full recharge. Other than that, whatever you do minimally affects the battery. The new MacBooks have a 7 year, 1000 cycle battery in them.

admin answers:

Try putting it in a freezer wrap it around something so condensation wont occur but keeping it cool should prolong battery life

admin answers:

The best solution: prepare replacement batteries, and charge them fully.
Your Apple macbook pro battery, go to www.sales-battery.com to have a look.

admin answers:

It depends on what you use your laptop for how long the battery will last. If the nVidia graphics card kicks in for example, the battery will last shorter. Those 10 hours are based on a certain usage, for example simply reading a text file. Visiting a website which contains Flash will also drain your battery faster for example.

admin answers:

Thats a sharp drop after 4 days ! I would suggest returning it to the manufacturer for a replacement.

admin answers:

Use boot camp to get windows on it for games

admin answers:

All seems fine to me. A laptop carrying case/bag wouldn’t be a bad idea as well.

admin answers:

You have to pay extra for just about anything I think. Sometimes they package iLife with the computer but that’s often on older models. You should just ask the sale person.

admin answers:

I would get the macbook! Save that money and buy extras trust me i have both! And theres no real difference! And plus the new 2.2 macbooks are faster then the 2.2 macbook pros in all other performances except for gaming! Chubosau is an idoit!

admin answers:

The pros about Macs, whew, there’s alot….
Good hardware
excellent software as well
if you have the extra money I would certainly try the solid state drive.
Don’t have to have internet protection suite but can
has the program time machine so your data can always be being backed up as long as you haave the external hard drive. A good My Book maybe 500 Gb would be great.
With that HD and that program or app you can feel safer.
The cons are few to me, one is the applecare protection plan does not cover accidental damage, but does cover three years of phone support and 3 of hardware support
their online support is excellent as well, for just about anything Mac related
apple has one of the best rated phone service in the industry
you want to have maybe a magic or mighty mouse. Magic mouse takes getting used to but is neat. The mighty mouse is just great and not too much. You can get a wired or wireless keyboard.
You may want to get the iWork suite which I think you are familiar with. Kinda replace word,excel and that other one micro sells…
Magsafe adaptor.
Another example, just do a google search of benefits of a mac and then do the same for pc, compare the results then do the same with virus for mac and then again for pc and see the number for pc and how much higher it is and how much more prone pc’s are to getting them.
If you still want pc, you can install it right on your mac, but install an internet suite if you choose that option.
I think it must be jealousy when people make remarks about macs because most of them wouldn’tbe able to tell you anything about them cause they never used them.

admin answers:

There will always be another new version on the way. It will make little difference to what you do with it. Go for it now and do not worry about it.

admin answers:

Generally, Apple releases three times a year, early, mid and late year. So if a late year release hasn’t occurred as of yet, one will most likely be coming…probably in time for the holidays.

admin answers:

Yes there is a mac version

admin answers:

There is no real Rhyme or Reason to when they get released.

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbook_Pro

Starting from the most recent, these are the dates when new ones were released…
October 24, 2011
February 24, 2011
April 13, 2010
June 8, 2009
March 2009
January 6, 2009
October 14, 2008
February 26, 2008
November 1, 2007
June 5, 2007
October 24, 2006
April 24, 2006
January 6, 2006

So, you could assume that there may be one released in early 2012… Like sometime between January and April… Or that it might be as late as Late 2012, as in October or November.

admin answers:

There were also rumors that the 2011 model would have a redesign,
but that obviously didn’t happen.
I seriously doubt it would happen this year
apple has already announced in 2008 that they’re not planning to remodel macbook pros any time soon
also, the design has still remained a high factor of the laptops,
so i don’t see why they would change their minds just yet

if anything, this new line will offer the new ivy-bridge processors,
which actually doesn’t come out until spring of 2012.
Possibly a better graphics card since that has been a complaint about the 2011 models.
And as every other year, a slightly more thin casing,
but probably not anymore thin to eliminate the optical drive.

I would say to go with this line since it already has the newest OS
it’s impossible to follow technology and it already seems like there’s never too much improvement in the macbook pro line.

If you care about bluetooth and interior efficiency…
It has been said that apple will release an upgrade around november with
4.0 bluetooth and better chips.

As you may have noticed, apple is really good at containing their designs until release,
so none of the information you can find is 100% true,
however, i have browsed through quite a few sources
and most has said the same.
