| What's the difference between Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook air? - 2/6/2010 7:15:16 PM |
| Q: |
I am looking to buy a mac and I wanted to know what the difference is between the new Macbook, the Macbook Pro, and the Macbook Air. And if there is not really a difference then which one is better. I am a student so I wont be using it for other things like gaming. Just social networking and school work, surfing the net, and downloading music, and burning movies.

| A: |
The main difference in the 3 computers are the processor and the casing.
Macbook is not made of aluminum but more like a hard plastic. It has a slightly slower processor and you can only upgrade to 4GB of RAM.
Macbook Pro is made of precision unibody aluminum enclosure. The processor is one of the fastest you can get in a laptop. The screen bezel is also black to make the screen color pop and make watching movies more enhanced. It includes a SD card slot, Firewire 400 & 800. The RAM is upgradable to 8GB.
Macbook Air is very light and thin. Good Processor and great keyboard and screen that's similar to the Macbook Pro. However, no firewire and no DVD drive is a major drawback for someone who wants to burn movies or create movies by importing DV video.
For a college student, I highly recommend the Macbook Pro 13" or 15". |

| What is the best macbook to buy for digital video editing and photoshop? - 10/21/2009 8:43:08 PM |
| Q: |
All of the Apple Macbook products have upgraded their line, and I am choosing to buy either a Macbook or a Macbook Pro to be used for digital video editing and some photoshop work? In your opinion, which one is the best. I may consider the 13".
|
| A: |
The Macbook Pro has a better graphics card and crisper screen image over the "vanilla" Macbook. So you might appreciate that one much better especially if you're going to work a lot on it.
Also, consider the 15", once again because for work, you will appreciate the extra screen space.
Good luck! |

| Should i get a refurbished macbook pro with applecare or start with a new one? - 9/24/2009 10:54:06 PM |
| Q: |
I am looking to switch from an HP laptop to potentially a mac. I saw on apples website that i can get a refurbished 13" Aluminum Macbook Pro for $899 and a three year applecare plan for $250. Together thats just about equal to a new 13" aluminum macbook pro. Is it worth getting a refurb with the warranty or starting with a new macbook and only the one year?
|
| A: |
Get the refurbished one. Apple does an extraordinary job of refurbishing their products. Also, get the AppleCare either way. AppleCare is free on all Apple products for a year, and you can buy it anytime before that year is up. So, even though I STRONGLY recommend AppleCare, give the year a test and see how it goes. AppleCare has been extremely helpful for me. I brought my MacBook Pro in to get a tiny bubble in my display checked out and they ended up replacing my display. The repair total was around $800, which I didn't pay a cent for because of AppleCare. (oh and I bought my MacBook Pro new, and the bubble was still there) In summary, buy the refurbished one, and buy AppleCare! Oh, and if you are a student, there is a HUGE discount on AppleCare. Also, AppleCare will NOT cover any damage cause by you. (just a warning) |

I am planning on purchasing a macbook in the next few months. I was just wondering what other people thought about them...good and bad.

| A: |
I've had a MacBook for almost 3 years now. No problems, no viruses, no malware, it has worked fine. The only thing I've done to it is to upgrade it to Snow Leopard and iLife 09. |

| Do Macbook start up discs only work for the Macbook they came with? - 6/16/2009 7:33:56 PM |
| Q: |
I just bought a used Macbook and i am looking to restore the computer to factory settings, however the seller unfortuneately did not include the restore/startup discs. My brother however has a Macbook Pro with start-up discs so i am wondering, will these be compatible with my Macbook? Or do i have to somehow find Macbook startup discs, or just live with the other persons profile etc...?
|
| A: |
NO, apple has different codes that they use. However, you can go and buy a operating system, disk. |

Go into you're router. Find the routers IP address, type it in the browser and set it up. It should all be in the routers instructions, not your laptops. |

I was an Intel-Microsoft user since 1983 -- until two years ago, when I bought my first Dual G5 for video editing. After that, I never looked back and when I got a new laptop last year I got a Macbook (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory). I'm very happy with it. It has a few glitches -- the sleep mode is a bit weird, and sometimes it is hard to wake up (gee it's like me). There was a dreadful update that Apple put out a few months ago that really messed Wifi, but they've since added another patch. The DVD drive can get a little sticky if it is a disc with a label, and of course Appple has this weird thing against two-button mice, so the trackpad has only one button.
But, so far, it's been reliable, does a good job on battery use, and has been tough. My use is mostly web, writing, spreadsheets, some web page development, and PhotoShopping. So I can't address games or high-end graphics (you should get a Macbook pro if you do those things). Good luck! |

Wow.. I have a MacBook and I finally upgraded to the full version. I would DEFIANTLY make a back up of your files, just in case. It wouldn't hurt. There are several ways that you can make a data disc. If you don't have any burning software, Such as Roxio toast, ect... Then CTRL+CLICK on the desktop and select NEW BURN FOLDER. From there you can select items and place them in the newly created burn folder. When you are done, open the folder and click BURN on the upper right hand side of the screen. If you are going to use the files on a different computer, I am pretty sure that you can just burn the files to disc, and put the disc in your HP. The files should be reconized on a PC. Good Luck! |
