i am buying a new macbook pro but i want to fit my own ram memory and solid state hard drive , will apple permit this without voiding the waranty.

yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

    You can purchase a Mac customized to your preference from the Apple Online Store. It will be manufactured almost immediately, and can be delivered to you in as little as two or three days, depending on your location. You may also choose from a number of Macs available in the Refurbished and Clearance store.
    If you want to purchase a Mac and have it immediately, you are limited to what an Apple Retail Store or reseller has in stock.

  • Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend?

    Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run the latest Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend for best speed and perfromance?

    Depending on the software you'll use - I doubt you'll be an expert on After Effects and use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver like a pro (you may be an exception) - I have a 13" Macbook Pro simply because the 15" lacks the portability of the smaller size - the Retina 15" is alot lighter and if you can afford it - go for it!
    I bought the Macbook Pro and replaced the 4GB of RAM with 8GB of RAM and replaced the HDD with an m4 SSD from Crucial. The SSD really makes a difference in app start up speeds, loading times and bootup speeds. The RAM ensures apps operate smoothly and everything is snappy. Since getting an SSD, I would say the performance of Photoshop and Illustrator is vastly improved. I can have both open whilst surfing the web, checking my email and even using Dreamweaver every once in a while. Multitasking is great.
    To conclude, depedning on your price range, buying a £999 Macbook Pro and swapping the HDD for an SSD and the 4GB of RAm to 8GB, will ensure better performance than both 15" Models. However, buying a 15" Model and maxing out the specs, would beat the performance of a maxed out 13".
    I have a 13" and it runs faster than it was when I first purchased it last year. Photoshop opens in 2/3 seconds and performance is great.
    Hope this helps.
    P.S. If you have the money, get the 15" Retina. If not, max out the 13" if you still want portability. Otherwise, get the 15" and max that out if you feel performance is poor.
    The reason I say Retina, is because the maxed ram and SSD is already installed and saves alot of hassle aswell as the slimmer design and lighter weight.

    Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
    I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
    I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
    I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
    Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

  • I have windows 7 on my macbook pro but i want OS X how do I install it?

    I have windows 7 on my macbook pro but i want OS X how do I install it?

    Reformat disk drive to HFS+
    Then use the appropriate DVD to install OS X on your Mac
    The reformat will erase everything off of the disk drive so backup first everything that you want to save

  • I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

    I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

    Hello, I've tried Lion from the day they released to last week I got my computer formated and with leopard again, on my iMac 24" from early 2009 2.9 Ghz core 2 duo, and I have installed 8 Gb of memory, and i have some complains about it, there are some cosmetic issues but mostly I'm concerned about issues bellow the hood, as I'm a stock trader and I depend completly from my computer's performance, let me explain:
    Superficial issues:
    1. They took off "spaces" and I liked it.
    2. I dont use the magic mouse, I need a more accurate mouse for my charts, and it seems they built the entire OS assuming you would use the magic mouse for gestures, scroll, etc to try to mimic in some way the Ipad and Iphone functions, but what if you arent using it like me?
    3. I never used that little rocket icon that makes all your apps appear and that could be one of the "improvements on Lion", at first sight it looks nice and slick, but if you try to use it and make it part of your daily use, you would find it is useless, it is a pain to try to arrange it the way you like it, so I rather use the spotlight to search for my apps, its faster.
    Now the MOST important, 'performance':
    1. It completly suffocate my computers hardware Leopard much more lighter, beggining from the start up that taked almost 1/3 or twice the time, and I think Lion has some bugs bellow the hood, i was doing my normal stuff, some apps running and everything, and suddenly I started to feel the computer a little slow, safari taking forever to open the pages for example, and I opened the activity monitor to see what was going on, and it was there, I was using 4 or 5 gb from my memory, and CPU making insane peaks, and Im using 2.46 gb as im writing it doing exactly the same stuff, (but Im happily using Leopard now), and it wasnt once, as i told before, I used lion since the day they released it and happened several times until it drove me nutts. But leopard not problem in that regard at all, Never.
    hope this helps, and hope some apple guys read that because lion resulted in a big disappointment for me.

  • I need to buy a new macbook pro/i am from OR, but i am in PA now/when i asked about that i found the tax will be around 100$/there is some one said to me that if i have the ID state of OR i would be able to buy it by the samr price/is it true ?

    Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
    If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
    If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
    Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store.

  • Questions about buying a new MacBook pro with SSD

    Hello, I am about to buy a new MacBook pro. I'm going to get the 13 inch 2.8 dual core i7. I want a solid state drive also. I was going back and forth between the 128 gig or the 256 but I will probably get the 256. My computer will ship with lion but i am so confused about the TRIM support. Does lion take care of this? Dop I have to do anything like run a command or program to take care of TRIM?  Also, are solid states reliable? Should I get apple care? ( i really don't want to. Lol)

    I suggest you buy the notebook with the standard drive and the standard RAM, if you were thinking about upgrading the RAM.
    You can replace the original drive with a SSD at a lower cost then what Apple charges You can also buy RAM for a MUCH lower price.
    TRIM:
    Lion only supports TRIM natively when used with a Apple SSD. BUT, REALLY BUT, You can enable TRIM support yourself on the SSD you install. I have a SSD in my MBP that I installed and I have enabled TRIM support on it.
    Are SSDs reliable? As far as I can tell Yes they are. I have one in my Win 7 desktop PC for the last 9 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my Dell Win 7 Notebook for the last 1.5 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my MBP for the last month+, No problems. There are reports of SSDs failing but there are also report of standard hard drive failing all the time.
    I used Intel 320 series SSDs in my 2 Windows PCs and a Kingston V200 SSD in my MBP. I switched to the Kingston because of the price and it runs on the higher SATA III bus speed, 6GB, where as the Intel 320 series only run at the 3GB speed, SATA II.

  • Do I get a discount if I bring in my college acceptance letter to buy a new macbook pro?

    Do I get a discount if I bring in my college acceptance letter to buy a new macbook pro?

    I believe you do, but I'm not sure. I would call your local Apple Store and ask them. However, you must also be a HS graduate. If you are still in HS, then you are not eligible until after you have graduated.

  • I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012, can i sell my old macbook and put some more money to buy the new one???

    I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
    Is there any deal like this?

    Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
    Good luck,

  • Buying a New Macbook Pro (Con't.)

    Hi i am interested in buying a new macbook pro this summer, please help me.
    Can i buy from the online store and then go to pike it up by person as i live in an unsupported country for apple, and i taught to travel to UK and then pike it from there.

    <Post Relocated and Edited by Moderator>

    Although I'm from the US, I typically go out of the country for 5-6 months of the year. Fortunately, I have AppleCare Protection plan and an authorized apple dealer nearby me. However, let me assure you that unless you go to an apple store for repairs, you wont get the unparalleled quality of service or support that you would otherwise get. I'm not saying that there are not excellent apple authorized dealers out there, it's just the one near me isn't that great. In fact, I try to hold off on all repairs until I reach the homeland.
    But still, in your case, if this is the only option than by all means take it. Just be vigilant of repairs claimed, keep you receipts, and check your MBP when it gets back for any damage not caused by you.
    This is in the worst extreme. I'm sure, for the most part, most 3rd party service centers are great.
    Good Luck!

  • Buying a new MacBook Pro 17". Question about waranty?

    Hi everyone:
    I'm buying a new MacBook Pro 17", and I was wondering what waranty does it come with? Or, do I need to buy any special coverage from them? I'm new to Macs, so please bear with me... How reliable are they?

    From the Tech Specs page for the MacBook Pro:
    Your MacBook Pro comes with 90 days of free telephone support and a one-year limited warranty. Purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan to extend your service and support to three years from your computer’s purchase date. Only the AppleCare Protection Plan provides you with direct telephone support from Apple technical experts and the assurance that repairs will be handled by Apple-authorized technicians using genuine Apple parts. For more information, visit Apple support or call 800-823-2775.
    Macs can be pretty reliable. If yours will be used for critical purposes you may want to get the AppleCare extended warranty. I do, but I can tax deduct it for business purposes. The warranty does not cover accidents so if you want to cover those, get an insurance policy or extend your current homeowner's or renter's insurance to do so or try Safeware.

  • I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

    I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

    I realized I still had this as an open question, so I thought I would follow up. By calling around, I was able to locate a Macbook Pro that still had ILife 09, so I bought that.
    But then I found out I could actually continue on with Ilife 08, but just wiping the new computer and reinstalling the first disc (system) but not the second one (ilife). So then when I used a Time Machine backup from my old computer to migrate to the new one, it simply continued on with O8. This made me even happier as I really was trying to avoid Faces in iPhoto 09.
    Thank you for the input (I did read it back when you posted it; I just did not realize I needed to "close" the question.)

  • If I buy a new macbook Pro, will I get OS X 10.5 'free' when it's released?

    I've been waiting for the new Macbooks for a long time, initally because I thought they were going to be released with OS X 10.5, but now that 10.5 has been pushed back, will I have to pay for it when it ships if I buy a new Macbook Pro this month?
    I hope not.
    Nick V

    Nick,
    You're playing a losing game, man. OK, so you have waited this (however) long for an updated MBP. Now, you will delay further for the release of Leopard. By the time Leopard is released, and there is no guaranty that it won't be delayed further, another update to the MBP might be on the horizon. Even if a newer MBP isn't in the works, there will be speculation. In any event, you will wait some more.
    Where does it end? Will you ever actually break down and purchase?
    In the meantime, you lose out on enjoying a fine-running machine and OS.
    Scott
