Good Configuration for a MacBook...

My dad has recently told me that he is interested in buying an Apple laptop. I recommended him to buy a Macbook. He told me that he really would like me to teach him how to use Mac OS X. What is a good configuration of a MacBook that is not too expensive, yet will make his experience using a Mac an enjoyable one?

That really depends on what you plan to do with the computer. If you want to have a lot of media on the hard drive (i.e. music, videos etc.) then I would say go for the largest hard drive you can afford. If you only plan to use it for surfing the web, email, word processor and other standard applications then I would expect that 80 gig should be more than sufficient.
The one nice thing about the macbook is the hard drive is upgradable so that if down the line you decide you need a larger drive, it is relatively easy to swap it out for a new one. Or you could always get an external drive.

  • Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Hello,
    I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

    You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

    When you upgrade the firmware on your Router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    For your XBOX you can make these changes on  yuor Router as well as on your XBOX. I think it should make the NAT Open on your XBOX.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox, Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

  • MacBook Pro - A good config for me?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a laptop, and the feeling I'm getting after a good deal of product research, forum-lurking and question-asking is that the MacBook Pro might be a wise choice for me. Some people have suggested that I simply go with a MacBook, but I really like the idea of having some extra "oomph."
    So I'll ask you guys, you seem to know your stuff.
    My needs aren't too hefty I guess, the most I can think of that I'll be doing is using Creative Suite to make graphics and design a webpage or two (I'm also planning to go into Graphic Design and Computer Science eventually). What I'm looking for is something that'll suite my needs and go fast, very fast! I've rather outgrown my old Dell desktop. (By the way, yes, I'm looking to "make the switch," I'll be totally new to Mac ownership; the most I've ever done is go to my local Apple Store a few times and play about. And I must say, I'm looking forward to the experience. ;))
    I don't think I need too much RAM, I'm not wanting to use my Mac for a full-fledged profession (at least not yet). So I want to avoid overkill, but I'd prefer some room to breathe, too.
    I heard about buying RAM from third party suppliers to save money, but the idea makes me a little uneasy. How reliable are their products? And, is buying from them going to void my warranty?
    I know about Rosetta and how Photoshop and such won't perform too great on the new Intel Macs until Adobe releases the universal CS3, hopefully sometime next year. And fortunately for me, I'm still in the process of saving my money, so perhaps by the time I have enough to purchase my Mac, CS3 will be available and I won't have to worry about whether or not Creative Suite will run well.
    Basically my main question is (and I apologize for sharing my life story ;)), what might you all suggest to be a good configuration for me? 1 GB of RAM? More than that? I'd like the breathing room of a 100 GB hard drive...oh, and is there a major difference in 2.0 GHz and 2.16GHz? Which should I go with?
    I'm trying to not spend too much money, but I'm willing to save as long as I need to (with the exception of a year from now; I'd like to have a laptop by college time) if it means getting myself an amazing computer!

  • Analog to Digital Converter-- What's A Good Product For My System?

    What would be a good analog to digital converter for Final Cut Express HD 3.5 on a Mac OSX 10.4 system? I've used a Canopus on a MacPro with Final Cut Pro before and liked it, but wasn't sure what would be a good product for my macbook. I've looked at the Canopus advc-110 and 55 but am not clear on the difference and if it would work with what I have.

    The ADVC-55 is capture only. It includes composite & s-video inputs and stereo audio inputs. Firewire output.
    The ADVC-110 is bidirectional (meaning you can both capture and output through it - this is a very good way to monitor your video during production as you can see the actual quality on a monitor/TV rather than just your computer screen, which has limited capability to show you the actual video quality.) It includes composite & s-video inputs and outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output.
    The ADVC-300 is also bidirectional and includes composite, s-video and component video i/o (D1 connector) inputs & outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output; and software that enables you to tweak its video settings. Helpful in cleaning up particularly bad analog videos.
    I've used these things for years and they all work great. I do not believe there is any difference in the internal conversion hardware ... The primary differences are support for one-way vs. bidirectional conversion; input/output connectors; and the software that comes with the ADVC-300.
    If you have basically clean analog video, any of these units will be fine. You can use any analog source (VHS deck, camcorder, DVD player, etc.) and would typically use iMovie or Final Cut Express to capture your video on a Mac.

  • Best Mac Pro Configuration for Editing

    Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my editing capabilities from a iMac G5 to a Mac Pro computer system. I pretty much want to go all out on this thing, as I don't look to upgrade again anytime soon. I will be working with a fresh copy of Final Cut Studio 2.
    I was wondering, however, about what would be a good configuration for the hardware itself, more specifically the video cards that are available now.
    Which video card would be the best for HD video editing and manipulation? I was thinking about just getting the most expensive one, but I have heard some video cards are made for one thing more than another, and I want to make sure that I get the right configuration the first time.
    Again, money is not too much of an issue as this will be an expense for my business.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Troy Minassian

    Well I'll try not to be too vague here but I think it's going to be easier for me to give you a few hints but mostly talk about where to do more research.
    First: Formats -
    With good ol' DV, any off-the-shelf, completely stock, Mac Pro will handle it - absolutley NO sweat. Just add 1 (or more) iternal SATA drives for capturing media, and you're off to the races. HDV...this could go either way. In theory, again, a basic Mac Pro can handle this. The format's total throughput is no more than DV. However, my thought is that using straight HDV in it's "native" format can be a real pain in the butt. Cruise over the Final Cut forum and do a search for a phrase like "HDV" & "Yuck" and you'll end up with a big long list of issues. I'll not go too far into detail, but HDV is a highly compressed format with a GOP-structure. Dealing with GOP-structured media in an NLE is not pretty.
    The good news is if you're even considering something like an Io HD then the HDV issues can be conquered with it. You would use the Io HD to transcode the HDV to Apple's ProRes codec on the fly. That's what the IoHD does. It's an external capture card whose form factor makes it nice and portable. So you'd come out of your camera or deck - into the Io HD - and out via firewire to your computer. The one "trick" is: you're married to ProRes. That's the one & only codec this box does. (To the best of my knowledge, that is.) Anyway, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just good to know going into it. Here's a review of the Io HD over at the creativecow.net. And by the way, if you've never hung out over there, note that it's a great resource for help. Tons of in-the-know pros hang out there.
    As far as AVCHD, I'm personally not too familiar with it. I know that it too is not very intensive to deal with - per se. But the whole tapeless concept is still somewhat new and as such has it's share of "gotchas". For that I'd do a search over there on Apple's Final Cut forum. I know a search for AVCHD is going to turn up many many posts.
    Regarding the RED. Again, it's so new it's got it share of workflow bumps to be aware of. (Personally, I love the concept of what this camera is all about. I checked it out and NAB and was really impressed with where they're going with it.) But for better info on that, I'd steer over to the Final Cut forum here and the Final Cut form over at the COW. Further, the camera has it's own forum over at the COW. And another great source of info is reduser.net. This camera is sweeping the industry. But it's changing the workflow quite a bit too.
    Second: Processing -
    As far as overall CPU power goes....Sure! A higher clock speed is basically going to be a faster machine. Here's some stats. But what's the cost? The 3.2 is faster than the 2.8. Is this worth $1600 to you? Only you can answer that question. For me: I just spent a month vacillating over a new machine purchase. I had originally "decided" months ago to get a new Mac Pro Eight 2.8. Then I thought I might save some loot and buy a G5. Then I thought, No! That's a dumb idea.... I could spend only about $600 more and get a refurb'ed 2.66 Quad core. Then I figured I could spend $800 more than that and end up - right back where I started - with a new 2.8 8-Core. So for me, the $1400 more, to go from a used G5 to a new 2.8 Octo, just made sense. But the point is: it's a completely personal decision. For me, that overall margin of money/performance made a lot of sense! On the other hand, did it make sense for me to spend $1600 more and get the 3.2 instead of the 2.8? Not at all! So only you are going to be able to decide if $1600 buys you enough of a performance hike.
    Then, Extras -
    Too, you're going to want to add as much RAM as you can afford. The other big question is storage. You've mentioned a spectrum of formats. On the one hand you've got your DV. Again a single SATA drive will be more than enough to capture to and playback from. But with ProRes HQ you're getting more demanding on the drives. For this, you'd want to now add, let's say, 3 more internal drives and stripe them together into a capture RAID. But you could even go up a few steps and get something like the CalDigit HD Pro and get multiple streams of HD playback with the security of a hardware-controlled RAID 5 scenario. So there's a couple of different ways to go here....However, if you start with very very fast, reliable drives, you're setting yourself to handle higher-end formats. Drive speed can be a killer. But if you start at the top you can basically head off any format woes for the future. (For a while....Nothing's completely future-proof in this game.)
    Finally, Monitoring -
    You've got to figure out how to look at/hear the media outside-of-the-computer. Meaning - you're going to need external monitoring equipment: Video and Audio. Again this will open more questions for you. But these items are key to your knowing what you're REALLY working with. So you really need a NTSC monitor, an audio mixer/control surface of some sort and some powered speakers. The Final Cut forums will be good places to research what others are using in these arenas.
    Anyway, good luck with it all! You've already discovered a great resource: this forum. If I were you, I'd start to spend more time on the Final Cut forums. These types of queries will get solid answers over there. I'd recommend establishing the habit of performing a search when you've over there though. The chances of someone else, already asking the same thing that you're investigating, is quite high. Almost guaranteed. Enjoy!

  • Physical DB Configuration for 11g

    Hi,
    Can someone please let me know what can be the good configuration for designing a Database of size 1TB in 11gR2.
    1) How much size we can allocate for Undo tablespace keeping the undo retention value to default
    2) How many redo groups and how many members per group considering the log switch are not very frequent ( 2-3 groups should be enough and 2 members per group and each member can be 200MB. Let me know if we can design it in a better way)
    3) Size of system,sysaux and temp tablespaces
    Thanks in advance.

    Its not so easy to answer your question if you are gonna create a 1TB database fresh.
    But as you had estimated the size of the database;I presume you have a similar set up (production/staging/dev/test).
    So perform the follwing in order to decipher your concerns:
    1) How much size we can allocate for Undo tablespace keeping the undo retention value to default
    Sizing an UNDO tablespace requires three types of information; viz:
    --Number of undo data blocks generated per second (UPS)
    --UNDO_RETENTION in seconds (UR)
    -- Overhead varies based on extent and file size (db_block_size) (DBS)
    UndoSpace = [UR * (UPS * DBS)] + (DBS * 24)
    In this UR and db_block_size can be obtained from pfile or spfile.
    The third piece of the formula (UPS) requires a query against the database. The number of undo blocks
    generated per second can be acquired from V$UNDOSTAT.
    The following formula calculates the total number of blocks generated and divides
    it by the amount of time monitored, in seconds:
    SQL>SELECT (SUM(undoblks))/ SUM ((end_time - begin_time) * 86400)
    FROM v$undostat;
    Column END_TIME and BEGIN_TIME are DATE data types. When DATE data types are subtracted,
    the result is in days. To convert days to seconds, you multiply by 86400, the number of seconds in a day.
    The result of the query returns the number of undo blocks per second. This value needs
    to be multiplied by the size of an undo block, which is the same size as the database block
    defined in DB_BLOCK_SIZE.
    The following query calculates the number of bytes needed:
    SQL> SELECT (UR * (UPS * DBS)) + (DBS * 24) AS "Bytes"
    FROM (SELECT value AS UR FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'undo_retention'),
    (SELECT (SUM(undoblks)/SUM(((end_time - begin_time)*86400))) AS UPS FROM v$undostat),
    (select block_size as DBS from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name=
    (select upper(value) from v$parameter where name = 'undo_tablespace'));
    NB: The above described UNDO calculation is compiled from Metalink Note : 262066.1
    2) How many redo groups and how many members per group considering the log switch are not very frequent
    (from Metalink Note : 781999.1)
    An excerpt from the Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide provides the general guideline.
    "It may not always be possible to provide a specific size recommendation for redo log files, but redo log files in the range of a hundred megabytes to a few gigabytes are considered reasonable. Size your online redo log files according to the amount of redo your system generates. A rough guide is to switch logs at most once every twenty minutes."
    So if your online redo logs (for example) switch once every 5 minutes during peak database activity, to achieve the 20 minute guideline, the logs would each need to be 4 times larger then their current size. (i.e. 20 / 5 = 4)
    3) Size of system,sysaux and temp tablespaces
    i) SYSTEM tablespace's size - dont have much idea; what should be the minimum size of the SYSTEM tablespace. But in most of the cases a size of 500 to 600 MB should be fine
    ii)SYSAUX tablespace's size - Default size for SYSAUX is 210Mb. Once again; most of the case a size of 400 to 500 MB should be fine
    iii)TEMP tablespace's size - You have to monitor the TEMP space usage continuosly in order to zero on an optimal size.
    You can query DBA_TEMP_FREE_SPACE for this in order to get how much TEMP space is allocated and how much is free.
    SELECT * from DBA_TEMP_FREE_SPACE;
    TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_SIZE ALLOCATED_SPACE FREE_SPACE
    TEMP 250609664 250609664 249561088
    Hope this helps

    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/99215-4gb-ram-my-macbook.html
    the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can take is 3.3GB. So while you can physically insert 4GB of RAM, OS X will only be able to see 3.3GB of it.
    But I don't know how knowledgeable that poster is who says it can utilize 3.3 GB. I do know that the full 4 GB shows up in the System Profiler on my MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz.

  • I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

    What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
    Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

    If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

    Like the simplistic design, goes well with MAC setup, curious how it looks with cables.
    Looking forward to your opinions helping me make a purchase decision.
    Cheers!

    I don't like either of these because neither of the stands can really be adjusted. My favourite stand of all time is this (which is better than any stand I have seen sold in the U.S.)

    This stand is made by a Japanese company. However, it may not work with the MacBook Air because of the location of the power plug. I could be wrong though. I own the stand but I don't own a MacBook Air so I can't say if it does or doesn't fit.
