Choosing between Mac Book and Mac Book Pro??

Hi,
I need a laptop for school and to do a bit of Photoshop and HTML but i don't no wich Macbook should i choose. Here is why im confuse :
I saw this add of a Mac Book Pro 2.53 (320g 7500rpm-4gig RAM) with apple care for 2500$ new and sealed but im not sure if its what i needed.
On the other hand i tough of buying a bran new MacBook 2.4 (1749 cnd$) and upgrade the RAM to 4 gig wich will cost me 150$ + the apple care.
My question is wich one is better and would you trusted the buy a NEW used Mac Book Pro. The guy said that he has all the receipt and he's selling it because he want to buy a MacPro. Apple give im a new labtop because is older one has to many repair to do.
Awaiting for your comment/suggestion on what you would do.
Tks

Well, I can only offer my advice as to what I would do. Everyone is different, but here it goes.
If you're not doing anything super intensive (HTML/Photoshop plus your usual web-browsing isn't too intensive) you'll have more than enough computer with the 2.4 MB (even without the RAM upgrade! But it can't hurt to do the upgrade if you're wiling to spend the money).
Personally I wouldn't want to take over someones laptop. Let me ask a few questions about the computer listed and some exchange rates.
2.53 MBP, is that the previous model, or the UniBody. And that $2500 is in Canadian I assume (because the new 2.66 UniBody is $2499 US). If it's the previous model it doesn't even appear to be much of a discount for being used.
My feelings are that the person is getting rid of the laptop for a reason. If they were 100% happy with the product, they wouldn't be looking to upgrade to a new computer.
I'd go with the 2.4 MB if I were you. I'm very happy with mine. It'll be enough computer for at least the next 4 years (if taken care of).
Hope that helps. Cheers.

  • My Safari, Address Book and Mac Mail have stopped working.

    Recently my Safari, Address book and Mac Mail have become unstable, I cannot edit or copy anything from my Address book, most of the time it'll stop responding before I can even view an address. My Safari keeps freezing and then crashing and I have to force quit, sometimes several times before it'll close. The Mac Mail won't do anything, it tries to download mail and then will sit there doing nothing, again sometimes I have to force quit several times before it'll actually quit.
    I have run the extended hardware test and all is fine, I have reinstalled my OS and then restored my info from a backup and still it doesn't work. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Hi jen_bob,
    My iMac is a trooper, so far this is the first time its played up - I have I pushed it too far?
    I think you've just installed the wrong version of Safari, that's all. Safari 3.x is supposed to be for OS X 10.4 or 10.5 - according to your tag line you are using 10.3.9.
    Assuming you are using 10.3.9, then the Safari install will have updated a few system frameworks that are used by other applications (such as Mail). In that case, the 'easiest' way to get things working again is to do an 'Archive & Install' and choose to preserve users and network settings.

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

  • Cash Book and Bank Book

    Hi,
    Please revert with the reasoning of maintaining a seperate cash book and bank book by any corporate in SAP. We have been debating on this for quite long time, but are unable to get any satisfactory reply.
    Kindly revert.
    Many thanks
    Best regards
    Anish Goyal

    Hi Anish,
    Cash Book: All cash transactions are entered in the cash
    book straightway, and ledger accounts are prepared on the
    basis of such records.  Hence, Cash Book is considered as a
    Subsidiary book.  Cash book is again a ledger and a
    principal book since, it serves as cash account and book
    account, the balances of which are recorded in the traial
    balance directly.  Cash book has debit and credit sides. 
    All receipts are entered on the debit side and all payments
    are enetered on the credit side.  It is maintained under
    the Double entry principle.
    Feature of Cash Book:
    1. All cash receipts are cash payments are entered
    chronologically in the cash book
    2. It never shows a credit balance
    3. It serves both the functions of Jounal and Ledger
    sumultaneously.
    Cash Book is prepared by Propwriter. Pass Book is
    prepare by Bank peoples. After transaction take place both
    of them pass the Entries .
       Cash Book shows Dr side Receipt & cr side Payment But in
    pass book Dr side payment & cr side Receipt .
       This 2 are measure difference between Cash Book & Pass
    Book

    What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
    I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
    Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
    That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm V

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

    You can get a Dropbox account, this will allow for 2GB of free storage and you can purchase additional storage if needed. You can find out about Dropbox from their website or read one of the many reviews about them. Their address is:

    Hi Chandu,
    In FAGLFLEXT, every period has a field. The period is the suffix for the field.You will have field for transaction currency as well as local currency in the table period wise.
    All FI entries are posted to BKPF (header data) and BSEG (Line item data). From BSEG, dependingon the account type (KOART), the line items are copied to secondary tables like BSIS (open items) and BSAS (cleared items). you need not pass any additional data like xopvw. Entire BSIS contains open items and BSAS contains cleared items.
    What you need to do is pass the GL accounts (Bank GL accounts) to BSAS and BSIS tables along with the posting date (BUDAT) for which the report is to be run. From the input date, determine the period (use function module). To get the opening balance you will fetch value from FAGLFLEXT for the previous periods and then for the current period till the previos day from BSIS and BSAS.
    For example say the input date is 02.09.2009 and the fiscal period (monat) for this date is 6. Go to FAGLFLEXT, pass the GL account and fetch values for the period 1 to 5 and sum it up. Then go to BSAS and BSIS pass the GL account and posting date from 1st of the month to previos day (input date - 1). Add this to the value fetched from FAGLFLEXT.
    Care needs to be given  given to the debit and credit indicator in the tables for the line item.
    Hope this gives you a better idea.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anit
