    Can you tell me why you don't think its a good buy? Someone bought it that must have thought it was a good buy? You?!!!
    I had a macbook pro, spilled an entire latte on it. Cannot afford to drop another 1500 on a new one. I understand the air is a great machine. And for someone that is hard on equipment (aside from liquid!) with no moving parts its a better option. This one is priced at $929 - good?

  • Refurbished MacBook Air 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7

    I was wondering if this hardware combination really exists.
    The reason I ask is that when I go through the steps of building a new 13.3 1.8GHz configuration there is only the option of 1.8GHz i5 or 2.0GHz i7.
    Is this possibly a typo on the apple website or does a 1.8GHz i7 exist, even though it's not an option for a new Air.

    he means new as in most recent, but still refurbished models
    the 1.8ghz i7 was on the 2011 macbook air, the 2012 model has 2.0
    they are no longer selling any non refurb 2011 models which is why they dont appear on the site
    its an upgrade

  • Macbook Pro 15" 2.4GHz Core i5 8GB RAM - Constant RAM usage?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my Macbook Pro's RAM to a DDR3 8GB 1067MHz setup that came highly recommended after much research on the topic. My question is, how come in my Activity Monitor I have so much RAM being used at any given time? It doesn't seem to matter if I have ZERO applications or 15 applications open, it's constantly using more than 2GB.
    I understand that inactive is just as good as free, but still even including inactive, it's still sucking more than 2GB with nothing open.
    On top of that, I run NO virtual machines, yet I have roughly 1GB wired ALL THE TIME.
    Now I've read mixed reviews about how OSX Snow Leopard manages RAM, and I have to say, I am concerned with these numbers. Also, I have no page outs, so I don't think I have a RAM stick issue.
    Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on here? also if there is a program out there that can manage this better than SL is currently doing (which is a crappy job it seems).
    Thanks in advance.

    Francis, let me try to answer your questions.
    The 1GB wired is your OSX, and can only be changed if you work at removing some parts that you don't need. I've read where some people have gotten the wired OSX memory down to 600MB, but it doesn't seem to be very productive.
    As for having 2GB running, if you remove the 1GB for OSX, then you'll have dozens of tasks still running to do everything from running the monitor to sound to everything else. Moreover, they get into RAM, because there is plenty of room. BUT, if you open applications, some of these processes may grow or shrink depending on needs.
    Here is an older article about Mac memory use. It's a bit dated, but pretty accurate.
    I personally think you're fine. You have over 6GB available for everything you might do. I run Aperture in 64bit, and 4GB for me is more than fine.

  • Best CS5 memory settings for MBP dual core with 8GB RAM?

    The Adobe page on this suggests doing some tests (groan). But why, when there's a forum chock full of folks who've already done some..?
    So, what settings have you found to work best?
    Any other tweaks?
    BTW I also have CS4 running in Boot Camp. if anyone can recommend the settings there I'd much appreciate it.
    Cheers!

    > But why, when there's a forum chock full of folks who've already done some..?
    Because every composition has different requirements, every computer system is different, and every person is willing to make different trade-offs. There is no way to give a general recommendation if some people are working on web videos with hundreds of small motion graphics layers and other people are working on IMAX movies with only a few layers.
    This page is the closest that you're going to get to a general recommendation:

  • How much faster is the 2.7GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5 than the 2.7GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5?

    Hi there,
    I'm considering buying either a Mac Mini (2.7GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5) or an iMac (2.7GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5). I'm just wondering what the difference in speed is between the two different chips. If both had 4GB of memory would the iMac be a lot faster than the Mac Mini? I'm a graphic designer so I'd be mostly using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
    Many thanks,
    Richard

    You mean this information:

    MP 3.3 w6 = 2010 Mac Pro 3.33GHz Hex-Core Westmere
    iMac 3.4 i7 = 2011 iMac 3.4GHz Quad-Core i7
    MBP 2.3 i7 = 2011 MacBook 2.3GHz Pro Quad-Core i7
    mini 2.7 i7 = 2011 Mac mini 2.7GHz Dual-Core i7
    MBP 2.7 i7 = 2011 MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Dual-Core i7
    MBA 1.8 i7 = 2011 MacBook Air 1.8GHz Dual-Core i7
    All Macs had except the MacBook Air had at least 8GB of RAM

    No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
    I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
    You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
    Good luck,

  • 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 vs 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

    I can't decide which Mac Mini should buy, Mini with 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 or the server version 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, of course I'll upgrade it with 8 GB memory and SSD drive.
    So what are you guys thinking of 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 or 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7?
    cheers

    my dilemma is if i go 2.7ghz i5 with 8gb of ram and the 750gb (7200rpd), after i buy the magic mouse and the keyboard, i'm already into $1367.00....
    where as if i got a imac for $1399.00 i'm looking at a 2.5ghz i5 quad core with 8gb ram and a 500gb hard drive, with the amd graphic chip. plus i'm also getting a 21.5" led screen. where as with the mini i would have to hook it up to my existing monitor or even share it with my existing computer.
    i love the look of the mini, but it is really hard for me to justify spending that much money having to buy all the "extra's", just have a working computer. when i can just pony up $32.00 more and get a whole sytem...
    please help me to justify buying a mac mini.

  • I'm looking to buy a macbook pro. I will be doing some video editing with it. Would it be better to go a bit pricier to get the 2.0ghz quad core or stick with the lower priced 2.7ghz dual core?

    Video is the magic word for fast CPUs, large screens, maximum RAM and large HHDs.  Ditto what eww says and do not order RAM and HDD upgrades through Apple.  It is much, much less expensive through third party vendors.

    @Allan: Let me put it this way. My main confusion points:
    1) The 1st one is 2011 model dual-core i7 and the 2nd one is 2012 model dual-core i5.
    2) The 1st one had AMD Radeon HD 6630 graphics and the 2nd one has Intel HD 4000.
    3) As I am getting used, I am getting the i7 one with 8GB 1333Mhz RAM and the 2nd one with 4GB 1600Mhz RAM.
    4) 1st one has USB 2.0 but 2nd one has USB 3.0.
    5) 1st one was originally Lion but upgraded to Mountain Lion. 2nd one comes pre-installed with Mountain Lion.
    The i5 one I am getting for around $115 cheaper. Kindly suggest which one I should go for. Thanks!

  • 2.7ghz Dual Core verses Single Core

    Hi, I have a Pro Tools system with PCI audio cards that I sunk quite a bit of money into. Needless to say, I'm stuck in PowerMac purgatory until I come up with the cash to make a total PCIe conversion. With that being said, I am now trying to determine what the absolute fastest (dare I say the best) PowerMac was before Apple moved on to greener pastures. What I've been able to find with some light research is that they built the obvious 2.7ghz Dual Core machine but also momentarily built a 2.7ghz Single Core machine for some reason. Can anyone shed some light on the advantages/disadvantages between the two? Thanks!

    You have received misinformation. The dual processor (not dual-core) model was the only one offered. Only the 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz machines were ever offered with a single-processor.
    All G5s at 2.5 GHz and above were also liquid cooled, so you may want to take that into account. Should one of them develop a leak, the repair bill is astronomical, assuming you can't coax Apple into fixing it as a design defect.

  • Can Macbook Air 11 Inch Handle Photoshop CS5?

    Hi!
    Basically I want to get the 11 inch macbook air as I am a student and will be hauling around this laptop to class and whatnot. And I do a lot of walking so the light weight is good! But i was wondering if the 11'inch screen and the macbook air is suitable to run adobe photoshop cs5? I only plan on installing that and microsoft office. Can macbook air handle that?
    I use photoshop mainly for web design. Also will the screen size give headaches? Thanks so much for all responses in advance!

    From a power standpoint, it will handle it just fine. The greatest issue is the physical screen size and the "ergonomics" of such with the user. My 11" has been relegated to be a seldom used secondary computer, because of screen size alone.
    I doubt it will give you headaches, unless you are prone to it. My 48 year old eys barely make it with the 11". It just isn't comfortable for long periods....for me. All users are going to be different. But I think both the screen resolution of the 13", and the larger size make it much more appropriate for PS work, if you must use a small portable machine.
    I don't find the 13" Air to be a size/weight burden at all, as compared with the 11".
