A writing pad for MacBook Pro?

I do a lot of research and would like to write notes while reading. Is there an add-on writing pad that could accept note taking while still displaying iBooks? Please say yes. :)

Hello Jhawker23,
As you are on a MacBook Pro, you can run another program, like TextEdit, along with iBooks and take notes as you read.
iBooks also has the capability to add notes within.

It all depends on where you want your notes and how fancy they need to be.
Take care,

  • Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
    There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
    Thank you for your help!

    is it normal?
    Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)?  If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
    If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
    See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
    kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
    The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
    A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem.      I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
    http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
    But only outside warranty.   Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook.  Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

  • Antec Cooling Pad for MacBook Pro

    I bought the Antec Cooling pad with two fans for my MacBook pro, when it woudl charge and working it got pretty warm. I have to say, having the fans running under the MacBook dropped the temps significantly, I think. On average I would say around 10 degrees C is what I am seeing.
    I"ve got iTunes, Word, Mail, Safari, Firefox all running with the temp showing 48 C on both cpu...give or take a degree flux.

    Count me as another happy Antec Cooling Pad owner.
    At home, where I primarily use the MBP for OSX, I have the iLap, which is a great but passive cooling stand for use on the table or my lap. Works fine, lowers temps by an average of 3-4C.
    However at work I often have to run WinXP on my MBP. That puts it in full torch mode, for whatever reason. I bought an Antec Cooling pad for work, and I don't have the figures (as I don't have a temp monitor on the Windows side) but I would estimate that it's cooled it at least 10C, maybe more. Routinely the top of the MBP where my palms rest would get past warm, almost to hot, and the speaker grills would emit hot air, a lot hotter than when running OSX.
    After I bought the Antec, and put 4 small rubber stoppers on it to elevate the MBP about 1/4" above the aluminum surface (which did seem to increase airflow), now the MBP running Windows feels just like when it does on idle running OSX.
    Two thumbs up, and a hearty recommendation for anyone who has to use WinXP on the MBP or who constantly has the MBP on very high load.

  • How much will it cost to replace touch pad for macbook pro 15'?

    Hi everyone, just wondering, how much will it cost to get my touchpad replaced in the apple store? Wan ted to check it out before I go there in person
    Thanks!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?

    I'm a video editor looking for a new laptop. Tough decisions, but these facts may help my decision...
    Can I use my 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?
    And if so, would the Macbook be able to access the external hard drives that are connected to the iMac? Or do the external hard drives have to be connected to the Macbook Retina?
    Retina's picture quality is just incredible but compared to Macbook Pro non-retina you sacrifice: disc drive, port options, customization, anti-glare screen. And its more expensive. Arghh

    I would use the retina as the primary screen for the canvas and viewer, while putting the browser and timeline on the iMac.
    Apple won't help here. Unfortunately, they leave they're old products in the dust and wouldn't waste time writing an article about connecting a macbook retina to an '07 iMac.
    Thank you for replying though Ralph. The answer has to be out there somewhere.

  • Is the free norton 360 ok for macbook Pro

    is the FREE Norton 360 offered ok for MacBook Pro please

    I seriously doubt Norton 360 will work on a Mac TBH.  You don't actually need any security software on Macs anyway.  I've never used anything here and I've been using Macs for years here at home (iMac & MacBook Air) and never had any issues, viruses or malware.
    Just make sure you have the built in Firewall enabled.
    System Preferences>Security & Privacy (you may need to click the pad-lock icon to make changes and OS X will ask you for your log-on password which you should also have set-up)
    If you have MacBook that you take out and about with you it's also a good idea to enable FileVault (which encrypts your data on your Mac's hard disk drive / solid state drive)
    OS X is much more secure than Windows ever will be.

  • The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

    Hi there,
         I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
    For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
    However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
    It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
         Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

    Best battery info resource is here:

  • I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

    I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours.  I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected.  I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display.     Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
    Regards.

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
    Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
    I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.
