Comparism between old and new MacBook Pro

Hi!
I have a first generation MacBook Pro1,1 (Core Duo Intel, 2Ghz, 2Gb RAM) and would like to know if I will gain much in oerformance if I buy a new one. Has there been any great performance improvements since my model?
Thanks!

There are definitely performance gains but how much is a matter of perspective and subjective to the end user, IMHO.
There's a couple of sites you might wish to visit for more info:
http://www.barefeats.com (they offer comparisons based on performance via applications, games, between computers, etc.)
http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/ (they offer a benchmarking app and posts their results on their blog page)
HTH.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.

    Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
    Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

  • FCP and new MacBook Pro

    I've heard that Final Cut Pro will not work on the new Mac Book Pro laptops.
    Has anyone else heard this? It may take some time before they get an upgrade fror this.
    I'm keen to upgrade from my 17" Powerbook G4 to the new MacBook Pro for video editing, using photoshop and after effects etc. Has anyone else heard about speed improvement in this area?
    Thanks for any comment.

    Yes, I believe to some degree they needed to get something out there and this is filler. I've been wanting a new 15", but will continue to use my old one. I believe it is more pro than the new MBP. I am not one of those complainers, but I live by my pci slot, especially on location, and the express/34 situation is a nightmare right now. I've read a few posts on different forums about the fw400 port not getting enough power and it being traced to the built-in isight. I don't know if it's true, but wouldn't be surprised.

  • Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

    I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

    {quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
    No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.

  • Un-updated iPhone4 and new macbook pro issues

    Because of issues with my old PC I have been unable to update my iPhone 4 for about a year and a half now. My old PC crashed and now I am left with an unupdated iPhone 4 and a new Macbook Pro. I have already transfered my purchased music into my new Macbook, but I am worried that when I try to update my iPhone I will lose my 1,800 some unpurchased songs. I backed up my iPhone 4 in my iTunes,and it finished backing up extremely fast so I'm left in doubt that it backed up my unpurchased music.Does this mean my unpurchased music has also been backed up? I'm aware that my iphone will have to be restored though the updating process, and eventually restored from the back up. In other words, should my new itunes library have a back up of all of my unpurchased music, and if not what should I do?

    My old computer is crashed so I unfortunately cannot refer back to it although all of those unpurachased songs were indeed on there. I don't have a problem with my purchased songs. I just want to make sure when I update my iphone I will not lose my unpurchased songs. Are my unpurchased songs backed up on my new macbook if i backed up my iphone in my new macbook's iTunes?

  • Internet problem with New Airport Extreme base and new Macbook Pro

    So I bought a Airport Extreme base station with my new Macbook pro.
    My desktop system uses a DSL modem which is connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. It works flawless. I can also unhook the hard ethernet connection from the desktop and connect it to the Macbook Pro with no problems.
    I then connected the ethernet cable from the DSL router to the WAN port on the Airport Base.
    I have no problem gettiing the Macbook pro to set itself up on the Airport Network. I can NOT, though, access the internet. I even tried to type in the IP address for the DSL modem while connected to Airport base and can not connect to modem. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a bridging function in the Airport Base that has to be activated?
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    Thanks,
    Danny

    Make sure you perform a complete power recycle when switching network components.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL modem & AEBS. (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    If that doesn't resolve the problem, and your DSL ISP requires PPPoE for connectivity, you will need to set that up on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as follows:
    Connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
    - Account Name: <ISP account name>
    - Change password: <ISP password>
    - Always stay connected (checked)
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    No, the AEBS will no longer be required.

  • Final Cut 4.5 and New MacBook Pro

    I've been out of the loop for a while. I had a 1.5ghz Powerbook and Final Cut HD, etc. I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and was suprised to see that I could not open Final Cut Pro anymore (says I don't have an AGP card). What're my options? Thanks

    You need the Intel version of FCS, which is version 2.
    Should run you about $499.00 when it ships next month.
    Apple has an inexpensive upgrade available for nearly fifteen months and was promptly displayed at its web site.
    That expires on March 19th.
    It pays to stay in the loop I guess.
    I'm less patient than Jim.

  • Airport express and new macbook pro

    Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

  • 23" Cinema HD display and new MacBook Pro

    Thanks
    Q

    I have had this laptop since May and have had nothing but difficulty setting it up screens with it. The mac mini DVI port *** the big one. It is trash as nothing else is compatible with it.
    I bought a 24 inch Apple monitor for $999 and can only use this macbook with it. I have two other laptops and none of them are compatible with the new screen - frustrating.
    I have tried to hook up the mini DVi port of the MacBook Pro to my new 40 SONY Bravia 120hz LCD screen. It won't work! My three other Mac laptops do fine. In fact my 1992 laptop using mac os 9 works with the screen. The new Mac no way!
    I have bought 3 plugs to adapt to my multi screens, they had older DVI plugs. set up, now find that I need another one for the SONY. I had a mac tower G5 that I hooked up to 3 screens with no problems. Try to plug in the MacBook - crap it won't work.
    I am angry. I have a $999 monitor that I can only use with one laptop and now I have TV that won't work with the MacBook.
    I'm taking this POS back to the shop and buying a clone PC that will work.Mac are you listening - I shouldn't have to buy a new cord for every screen that I own!
    I was going to use the Mac Book pro as a server for music and movies by hooking it up to the SONY. THat was a bust too. I'm buying a Western Digital TV box it's cheaper than all of the cables that I need.
    Sorry Mac you have let me down with this compatibility issue. What were you thinking? Corner the market on stupid! Oh wait I'm the stupid one for trying to stay true to Mac and spending $3000 plus on a stand alone non compatible system.
    I have a 24" screen that is not compatible with any of my other computers because MAC doesn't make patch boxes and I have MAC Book Pro that I can't use with my SONY.
    Shop very carefully before you choose this model of screen and mac book.

  • Data Projector and new MacBook Pro 15"

    I am about to take possession of a new MacBook Pro 15“
    Which slot do I plug my data projector in?
    I am a teacher and I use a data projector regularly but on looking at the new MBP I cannot see the usual plugs. Do I need to purchase new leads/cables?

    Graham
    I assume you are referring to the new unibody MacBook Pro. The unibody portables use the new mini displayport. http://www.apple.com/nz/macbookpro/features-15inch.html. Depending on your projector, you will need one of two adapters:
    Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/nz/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MjE0ODQ2NQ&p=1&s =topSellers
    or

  • Winmagic Securedoc and New Macbook Pro for Full Disk Encryption (FDE)

    Hi, I wonder if anyone had any experience with this. I've installed a seagate Momentus FDE drive (...421 series) on my new macbook pro and tried installing Winmagic securedoc to manage full disk encryption. It seems that despite all their recommendations re: hibernatemode and lidwake and sleep vs hibernation, the MBP crashes when I close the lid and then awaken it (by opening and pressing the power button). It cannot be awakened via an external keyboard either. Note that both hibernate and sleep work fine without securedoc. As securedoc appears to be the only viable FDE solution, I'd really like to get it working. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work with the new MBPs?

    PGP is another alternative as I have used it for the past few years on all of my Macbook Pros. I also own SecureDoc but have not installed it on the new Macbook yet.
    I do know that PGP disables hibernate during the install as it can cause problems.
