2.2 MacBook Pro vs. Ultimate 2011 Air

Saw this question at macrumors and was wondering what the apple communty thought about this.
without giving my uses for the comp and if both computers were available for the same price (i know, not likely but in this situation lets say it is)
would you go for a
2.2 high res glossy 15" 2.2 with 8gb ram (regular HD though)
or a
ultimate config 13" air
again, prices are exact same. What would you say is more, i hate to use this term but, "future proof" and more bang for your buck?

<What would you say is more, i hate to use this term but, "future proof" and more bang for your buck?>
If we're discussing ONLY "future proof" then the Pro. Whatever you buy on the AIr now is what you have to work with pretty much forever after; I won't say it's impossible to upgrade an Air, but AIrs aren't meant to be upgraded, and adding more or different components could be difficult. The Pro can be upgraded. For that reason alone, the Pro is more "future proof."

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) - High Definition Audio Device - Code 10

    Hi, i installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via Boot Camp on my new Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). Driver Disk was installed, but the "High Definition Audio Device" couldn't be started. Status is Code 10. Normal Cirrus Logic Audio is working. Any advice, how this could be fixed? Would be nice, to have audio over the Mini-Displayport HDMI Adapter on Windows as well (Works perfectly with Lion).

  • Macbook Pro 13" early-2011 Fans at high speed

    Hi guys,
    I hope you can solve this pussle for me.
    My Macbook Pro (13", early 2011, Core i5 @ 2.3) started to behave weird, its fan (only the exhaust one, since it's a 13" Macbook Pro with the Intel HD integrated graphics) is running at top speed (6200-6208 rpms) with no reason at all. No system processes consuming high CPU, just idling.
    There's a twist to this issue, though. It only does it when I open the lid more than 90 degrees. If I get it back the fan returns to normal functioning.
    What I did:
    checked the temperature sensor values, they are fine
    checked for crazy background tasks, there are none, CPU usage is at max 7%
    it does the same thing even in safe mode
    reset PRAM
    reset SMC
    reinstalled OS X (Lion). Updated to 10.7.4
    searched every discussion I could find on this matter
    The difference between this issue and others I encountered along the way is the lid opening thing.
    Does anyone know if getting the lid past the 90 degree mark triggers anything?
    The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the bottom of it.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You may have diagnosed the problem.
    (The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake  and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the  bottom of it.)
    I would take off the bottom cover and see if there is any offending material.  If not, then the Apple store genius bar should be your next destination.
    Ciao.

  • 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011.takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get

    Hello All,
    I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
    I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
    I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
    My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
    Could this be a hard drive issue?
    Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
    Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
    I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
    Thank you so much for your input!

  • How Do I Transmit Audio from My 2008 MacBook Pro to My 2011 Samsung HDTV?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transmit audio from my 2008 late model MacBook Pro to my 2011 Samsung HDTV.  My MacBook's Model Identifier is MacBook Pro 4,1 (ancient, I know).  I purchased this DVI to HDMI cable which does a beautiful job of transmitting the video to my HDTV, but no audio (as advertised): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8SY5Q/ref=oh_o02_s01_i00_details   HELP!!
    Thanks very much.

    I figured it out!  I plugged in my 3.5MM auxillary cable I use to plug my iPhone into car stereo jacks from the headphones port on my MPB to the "PC/DVI Audio In" on the back of my Samsung HDTV and voila! It worked! No additional cables (other than these two). No upgrading OS.  Yay!   
    Here's the auxillary cable:  http://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-3-5MM-JACK-AUXILIARY-CABLE/dp/B002Q3K0QS/ref=sr_1_1? ie=UTF8&qid=1330576344&sr=8-1
    This looks like a great workaround to the MPB to HDTV audio problem!  Hopefully my geek status is still intact.  W00T!
    When in doubt, try all the cables you have in all the different ports.  AV hasn't changed much over the years and you can often rig things to work with what you already have.  Yay for keeping cables out of landfills and repurposing! 

  • Macbook pro (15" - end 2011) battery life only works 3 hours - can you help me!!?

    Hi since i updated to Mountain Lion, my Macbook pro 15" (december 2011) only works for 3 hours instead of 5 hours with Lion.
    I've been waiting for 6 months now a release from Apple to fix this. Are you planning to do something for users like me?
    for reminder number of battery cycle as up to today = 131...
    Is there someone who can help me? or facing the same problem?
    Thank you

    Apple doesn't read the threads. File feedback is probably the best way to reach them. You won't get an answer.

  • What is the max memory allowed on a macbook pro 15" (late 2011), and what speed is the max speed allowed?

    Hello,
    I own a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) and I would like to upgrade the memory. I want to go with two 8gb sticks but if the motherboard only supports 8gb then I will have to stick with 8gb. Also, the ram that I have in currently, which is the 4gb that came with the mac, is 1333 Mz. Would I be able to upgrade to 1600 Mz on this laptop?

    Max is 16 GBs. Do not attempt to use memory with specs that differ from those required by your hardware.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

  • Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 Lag Spikes

    Okay let me just brief you on my Macbook.
    In September 2011 i bought a Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 model, 4GB RAM, 2.7GHz Processor, you can get the rest on the site.
    ( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp619 )
    I bought it as a ex-display model, so you can imagine it already has some milage from it.
    Through the (almost) 2 years i've had it, apart from the odd overheat shutdown, and a 1 charger replacement, it's been no hassle, even with me constantly shutting it and moving it. It seems that all the issues are coming in bulk.
    I generally use the laptop for gaming, mostly World of Warcraft, sometimes Minecraft, and lately Starcraft, and Spellforce on BOOTCAMP or virtual machines.
    About 2 weeks ago, the laptop started refusing to charge, i couldn't understand if it was the charger (as i only replaced it a few months earlier and the cable was still in perfect condition) or the port itself in the laptop. I took my laptop to an Apple store, found it was the Magsafe on the cable, replaced it on the spot, but the reason why i'm saying this is i'm wondering why it broke so quickly, and if lack of power has anything to do with it.
    I've grown a liking to Spellforce so instead of having to restart into the Windows side of my Mac, i just use the Virtualbox Virtual OS i already have set up from when i used to work from home and have to use certain software on windows because Wine just couldn't cut it (and lets face it, Mission Control is awesome, then you go on Windows and everything just seems to cluttered). So i read the default specs for the game on Steam (2GB) so i give Virtualbox 2GB, but this was a MAHOOSIVE mistake, because as soon as i clicked start, it's been a down hill spiral.
    The computer immediately started lagging, to the point where the laptop was actually unusable, so i force restarted it by pressing down the power button for 5 seconds and i let it restart. After it booted, everything seemed fine (i expected nothing else) so i decided to only give it 1GB of RAM, and just turn down the settings to the lowest possible (which is something i've had to do with World of Warcraft recently. It used to be able to run on Ultra when i first got the laptop, now it struggles on low and if i have a browser up at the same time). Again, big mistake, it lagged to unusability. So i restart again, but this time it takes 5 minutes to boot, and once booted everything is so slow, so i decide to re-install the OS, so i get my flash drive and spend the next hour moving things over from my user folder because when i would try to move a folder that had 5+ files or something that was 100MB or larger, it would error out saying a certain file couldn't be read or written, and would cancel and remove everything else that was transfering at the time.
    So i restart but boot into the recovery option, and do a refresh the OS, and i let it download and install. I was surprised to see when it had all completed that it still had all my files, but it still ran slow, not as slow as before but definitely not as good as before, i would estimate at quatre the performance. So i assume that Virtualbox must have editted some system setting and my Mac thinks i only have 2GBs of RAM and not 4GB, so i search on how to reset the bootloader, and i was tried the alt + cmd + r + p, but after that when it booted, it came to the wallpaper but i was getting these popups that Finder had unexpectedly quit, so i click Okay a few times, they keep coming back up, so i look at the details and it says that the app had failed 500+ times before.
    So i put my Snow Leopard disk in, use Disk Utility and use erase on my Mac OS partition, then i re-install Snow Leopard, then i download and install Mountain Lion again, but the snails pace remains. I do alittle more research and someone suggested modifying the partition size by a few gigs or so to re-write it and reset certain variables attached, didn't work, even after a reboot.
    So yesterday i just put the Snow Leopard disk in, and i remove both partitons (Mac and Windows) and i make one partition. I install Snow Leopard and then Moutain Lion, and so far it appears that everything it back up to speed... however, i've been keeping a keen eye on Activity Moniter and "top" in Terminal, and my CPU usage and RAM usage are always relatively low. I always seem to have 1GB-2GB RAM free, and my Idle CPU always seems to be above 80%-90% but i'm getting these weird lag spikes. I notice it most when i try installing World of Warcraft again, the download speed averages around 3MB/s (my ISP is Virigin Media and i get 60Mbs/s fibre optic so i know it's not my connection failing) and then the app seems to freeze (stops refreshing the average speed, and then about 5-10 seconds later, it starts refreshing again but it's at 12-50KB/s. This also seems to happen a lot when i use web browsers.
    I have noticed something new, literally only about 30 minutes before i started writing this. There is a noise that happens every 2-4 seconds, it's pretty regular, it sounds like a grasshopper, or other chirping bug/insect inside my laptop. It sounds like metal scraping against metal, which is worrying. It's coming from the right hand side of the Magic Track Pad, which is where i believe the Hard Drive is. I've looked online and this seems to be a sign that the harddrive is dying.

    Yeah, the problem has been solved.
    Unfortunately, the solution is buying a new storage device.
    So if you're having these issues, i tried almost everything consumer possible, that's free anyway, and the hard drive was just too faulty to work properly. So backup all your stuff whilst you still can.
    I bought an SSD for around £80, only 120 gigs of storage, but i have iTunes Match so i don't need to have my films and music downloaded.
    If you're very mobile with your laptop, then i suggest getting an SSD. Lugging about a laptop with a storage device with moving parts is very very risky.
    As soon as i got a new storage device, everything was back to normal. It was like it was new again.
    Anyway, sorry i can't give you a free solution, but it's the only solution i got.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 - External display issues

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" (2.7GHz version) that I am using with an external non-Apple display.  I am having issues when MBP goes to sleep or trys to sleep the display.  The external display exibits one of a number of problems:  goes dark but does not power off the backlight or freezes up and requires being powered off then back on.  My display is an ASUS VW266H but it seems like this problem, or other similar problems, are happening with other non-Apple displays.
    In calling Apple tech support of 5/27/11 they indicated that this is a known bug and they are working on a fix.  There was software update released 5/4/11 to  "improve graphics stability, address issues with external display" named MacBook Pro Software Update 1.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1382).  I downloaded this and applied it but it made no difference.
    I experienced these problems with three different video adapters:  Apple's own mini DP to DVI, Belkin mini DP to HDMI and another brand of mini DP to HDMI also sold by the Apple store.
    So the questions are:
    1) Will Apple release another updated to address this incompatability or are they done with the issue given that they released the update mentioned above?
    2) Has anyone compiled a list of monitors that are know to work with these most recent MacBook Pros (the early 2011 versions with the Thunderbolt/mini DP combined ports)?
    If you have used the MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 with an external monitor please respond to this post with your experiences so we can all know what works.

    With my new 2011 13" MBP I'm having no latency issues using my '08 Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW DVI (digital) monitor. Sleep function awakens fine, goes to sleep 3-4 sec.
    I'm using a cheapie model Syba MDP to DVI connector; here on Amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/Syba-High-Quality-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00342UT02/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1307389450&sr=8-1
    I bought 2 in case one craps out on me...knock on wood. Good luck hope you find a solution.

  • When i connect my philips 170c monitor to my macbook pro 13" early 2011, it does not detect the second monitor?

    help! i've googled around, but none seems to solve my problem
    my macbook pro is early 2011, 13", running lion.
    the philips monitor is vga only, so i have a mini display port to vga adaptor and connecting it to the vga.
    the screen on my mbp does turn blue, but no input is detected on the external monitor.
    any advice?

    If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

  • MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

    Hi,
    I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
    When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
    I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
    I tried these things:
    - Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
    - Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
    - SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
    The cable works, because:
    17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
    I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
    After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
    Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
    The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
    Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
    The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
    Sample Video:

    All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
    Any solutions?

  • I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

    I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

    You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
    Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
    God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
    And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

  • Panic reports on my Macbook Pro 17 (early 2011)???

    In past few weeks I got several panic reports on my new Macbook Pro 17 (early 2011) telling me to restart computer,
    It seems to me that this started after I upgraded to Mac X Lion...
    Does anyone know what can I do to fix this?
