2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro with high res anti-glare would be the best machine for you.
The 17" is fine too if you want a larger screen.
The 1GB Radeon 6750M video card will give you all you need for GPU performance for eh next 3-5 years or longer.
So the above is a future proof choice for the long haul.
(avoid the 13" and the 2.0 ghz 15", not so good graphics performance)
The anti-glare because you going to using your laptop in many different enviroments and your not going to be able to control the lights, etc to reduce the screen reflections. money well spent to see your screen properly.
Mac's can run a lot of software, they can also direct boot into Windows for Windows only programs.
Windows can also run inside OS X using virtual machine software like VMFusion (Apple likes) and Parallels, just takes a 50% performance hit on 3D games and animation.
Another nifty thing is if you set up a "bootcamp" partition of Windows for direct boot, virtual machine software can use that as a copy for the virtual machine OS in OS X. So no need to double install.
Also if your geekish, you can make a Mac triple boot. OS X, Windows and Linux too. So all software is avaiable with full hardwre perfromance.
I have a trible boot machine, also I run about 9 other operating systems on my 17" MacBook Pro in virtual machine as it's good enough for me (not a hard core 3D gamer) and easy to manage.

  • Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since june the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.

    Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since June the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of the other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.
    The problem that I have now is with the Iphone 5 which is not supported for the current Itunes and I can not download the Itunes 10.7 version. What I supposed to do in this case because I can not syncronize at all.
    Please give me a hand as soon as possible.
    Many thanks

    Mac OS X 10.5.8 is years old, 3 major versions out-of-date and unsupported at this point. You will never get any further updates for 10.5.8, and more and more applications will stop supporting 10.5.8 as time goes on. As mende1 points out, you can buy Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), which will let you use your new iPhone with your computer, but you need to make sure your computer's hardware is supported. See the system requirements for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If your computer cannot run Snow Leopard, you will need to either buy a new computer or abandon any thoughts of syncing the iPhone with that computer.
    Also, note that you'll get far better integration of your iPhone and your Mac if you're using Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), which are required to use iCloud. Of course, the requirements of those systems are even steeper than those of Snow Leopard:

    Can I transfer pages which I bought for iPad, to my Mac Book Pro?

    You can transfer your documents from within the Pages app (there are instructions here), and you can copy the app to your computer's iTunes for backup purposes (File > Transfer Purchases), but you can't use the iPad's Pages app on your Mac, they are different operating systems.

  • How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3

    How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3

    To do what?  It's not clear from the question.
    If you want to play iTunes library content on the unit you need to enable Home Sharing on both, have them on the same network and then look for your iTunes library under the Computer icon - iTunes must be running of course.
    Communications can be blocked by firewalls or security software sometimes.
    To factory restore a black AppleTv2 or 3 you connect it to the computer running itunes with a USB to microUSB lead alone and start itunes.

  • What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
    Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
    The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
    Hope this helps,
    AJ

  • Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia?

    Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia? When I get off a long fight, I have no time to recharge.

    Try searching for "external battery macbook pro retina" (without quotes). You should find at least three potential answers in the first two pages.
    I can't give you a specific recommendation, because I haven't (yet) tried any of them.

  • Can i buy mac book pro with english keyboard from dubai?

    i will visit dubai and i am planning to buy a mac book pro from there. İ wonder if i can buy this mac book pro with an English keyboard and all the manuals in English. Any help on this please?

    Actually, you can - but it is special order only - they consider it as a customized unit....You might have to wait a week or two.....
    You can check the Apple Store at the Mall of the Emirates and see if they have it in stock....
    Or, you can go to Apple's website select UAE as the country and configure it with the US keyboard and wait for delivery...
    Good luck..

    IOS?
    Do you mean OSX (or is there another device you have yet to mention)?
    If it is OSX connect the phone via Bluetooth and use the Browse Device command to access files. I have no idea whether this will work but it won't break anything.

  • Can I load my current software on to a refurbished mac book pro

    Can I load my current software on to a refurbished mac book pro

    When you get the MBP, the first time you turn it on, the Setup Assistant will offer to migrate your data from an old computer to the new one. Take advantage of the offer, and elect to migrate your applications too. If your MS Office apps won't open after being moved over, it will likely be because Microsoft's registration and activation routines have locked the software to the first computer it was installed on. You'll need to consult Microsoft for advice on freeing it up for use on the new computer, which will probably entail deactivationg it on the old one first.

  • I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up.  The open at login is not even checked.  How can I stop this from happening?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X.  Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing.  I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked.  How can I turn this feature off?  It's driving me nuts!!

    All fixed Barry.  When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there.  Do you want to open Windows when opening.  NOPE!!
    I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked.  Thank you for your help today.
    Best,
    Michelle
