How's is the new White Unibody Macbook display?

I can get a great deal on the new white unibody macbook. I was wondering how it compares to the 13 in MBP?
I am more concerned with the display. Are they equal? Or is the same display as the previous ALUM 13 Macbook?

FireWire is a "Must Have" for a lot of users. Spend about $175 more for the Macbook Pro, with FireWire 800/400. Then you will be "Unstoppable"!
The Firewire port is a faster way of connecting devices to your Mac, such as hard drives, video and audio equipment. A Firewire connection also allows you to boot into Target Mode, which basically turns your machine into a hard drive.
Target Mode allows users connect their Mac to another Mac, to access the files on the machine in Target Mode. You can also re-image or Install software on computers, using various Software Utilities through the use of Target Mode and Firewire.

Many peripherals are Firewire ONLY. 

When you have a mac (with Firewire) that will not boot it will most often still work in target disk mode making it possible to either fix the harddrive or at least back it up.

I am more concerned with the display
My advice here is to buy from someone that will let you return it if you are not happy. Some have complained of a yellow tint in various displays.

  • How well does the new Apple 24" LED Display work?

    Hey guys
    Im thinking of purchasing a 24" LED Display from Apple, just because I need a bigger screen to work on, as I edit photos, and film and I've been looking into one for awhile. Buck for buck, is this monitor a good companion to the unibody MacBook pros with the mini display port? Of course, its looks all glitz and glamour on the mac site but has anyone worked with these things hands on? What are the pros and cons?

    The display is very easy to use; considering you'll probable be plugging in the display multiple times per day this is really important.
    The built in display is LED lit (cool light) sense the 24" is also LED lit (cool light), there is a greater consistency in color between the two displays.
    Traditional LCD displays have a warmer glow due to using a fluorescent tube. Trying to go between LED and and fluorescent tube displays could drive you insane. especially if your using both displays at the same time for photography, where color can be very important.

  • Airport Issue After Waking From Sleep (White Unibody MacBook)

    Hi all. On my new white unibody MacBook I have an Airport issue that always occurs after I wake the MacBook from sleep. I'm wondering if any of you have a similar issue and/or might not how to solve it.
    Basically, when I wake the MacBook from sleep, it connects to my wireless network (and to whichever network I happen to be using at the time). A few seconds later, it will drop the connection, an exclamation mark will appear on top of the Airport icon on the menu bar, and when I click on the icon I see "Alert: No Internet Connection."
    Then, if I just sit and wait, eventually Airport will connect to the network. But I have to wait -- selecting the network from the available list or turning Airport off and on doesn't help. And sometimes waiting isn't enough -- I sometimes have to go to "Create Network ..." and start all over to get a connection.
    I've upgraded to 10.6.2 and the issue persists. I'd appreciate any help.

    My wife's Macbook has EXACTLY the same problem and I've been through dozens of suggestions trying to fix it and the problem still persists.
    The problem started right after I upgraded to Snow Leopard but also installed an Airport Extreme router and WPA2 wireless encryption. I've deleted all the networks, changed the order to put the Airport as the highest preference, deleted all the keys on the keychain, ran DiskUtility, all to no avail.
    I'm not sure if this is somehow related to the Airport Extreme or occurs with any router. Also, have another MacBook Pro (unibody), and it does't have this problem connecting to the same Airport Extreme.
    The other factor is it is intermittent --- and doesn't always fail. Rebooting the Macbook or the router will get it to re-connect, as will shutting off and turning on the Airport several times. But that's not a solution to the problem.
    Apple needs to pay attention to this as many people are now reporting the problem.

  • About the new white Macbook...

    Now that the "original" polycarbonate Macbook has also been upgraded with nVidia graphics, I could be persuaded to replace our iBook G4 with one of those new models : it's cheap and most important of all, it's got firewire. I'd really prefer a black one, but they only sell the white one, so I'll have to accept that.
    Anyway, I have some questions.
    The 120Gb hard drive is a bit limited, but I guess it's easy to replace it yourself. Next, memory. I'd like to upgrade to 4Gb. It's DDR2 (unlike the unibody) so relatively cheap. But does this model support DDR3, should I want to put in DDR3 instead of DDR2 ? Would the slower DDR2 not limit the Gefore9400 or the macbook overall performance wise (I'm thinking Snow Leopard and Open CL) ?
    And finally, does the white macbook's shell still suffer from discoloration ? The iBook we have has a palmrest which is in a light grey colour, so the problem doesn't pose itself there.

    You missed my point - anyone who knows anything about Snow Leopard's performance is under an NDA and cannot talk about it. Anyone who is willing to talk about SL's performance is either guessing, talking nonsense, or breaking the NDA. We just don't know.
    In terms of how the older black MB compares to the newer white model, since I haven't had a chance to play with the new one, I can say. But I can say that I switch between an original black MacBook and an early 2008 MBP almost daily and while the MBP on paper is a much faster computer with much better graphics I don't really notice all that big a difference between the two most of the time. Is that any help?

  • Maya 2012 on the new white MacBook

    Does anyone use this on the new white MacBook. I know it will run on a MacBook pro but I can't afford that and I already have 8 gigs of ram that I know will fit n work with new white MacBook. But I want to know how well it works if at all, I primarily will use it for my animation course and transfer files and finish large scale work on my desktop at home when not in class. Any info would be awesome.

    Well, as far as I can recall, it's a first for Apple.
    Whenever a new design model has been released on any of their products, the old design has virtually disappeared overnight (except for old stock still on other retailers shelves).
    I think they were either sold as "reconditioned" or stored and scavenged for repair parts.
    I recall that the iPod battery replacement program essentially entailed getting a new one even if it was a long discontinued model. They had to store "new old stock" somewhere.

    The only way to do that is to Purchase it from the Mac App Store.

    In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
    After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
    PS:
    Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

  • Does apple still sell replacement A1342 batteries for the white unibody macbook

    Does Apple still sell replacment replacment batteries for the white unibody macbook?

    The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 with the A1342 case use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

    Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

  • Does the new white macbook have enough juice for Logic Studio?

    Hi
    I am planning to buy the new white macbook and Logic Studio. The macbook has 2Ghz processor and 2GB ram. Will that be enough to run Logic effectively or do I need more power? I could afford to upgrade to 4GB ram but can't afford a Mac book pro or the 2.4Ghz processor macbook. I will be using an Edirol UA-20 audio interface.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That should be more than enough, although it of course also depends on what you are going to do with Logic. If you are going to use big sampled instruments, it is a good idea to go for 4 GB RAM.
    The processors are powerful enough, about 2.5 times Logics' minimum requirement.

    Advance warning - Mail worked fine.
    I had fits with the last link I posted. At first it worked fine, then all of a sudden, it quit working. I now have iCloud - iCal syncing, but iCal is read only. Not a real big deal since you can log onto iCloud using Safari and post a new event.
    I finally gave up on Address Book because it kept creating multiple contacts, which if you tried to merge or delete the multiple contacts, the contacts were deleted. It also worked at first and then stopped working as it should.

  • Is there ANY way to do S-Video or composite TV out on the new white MB?

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A (read the small text)
    Apparently the mini-DVI to Video adapter doesn't work with the newer white MacBooks now.
    I hope there is some way to do TV-out to an older TV that only has S-video and RCA composite inputs. Is there? Not all of us have high end TVs with DVI or HDMI inputs.
    Getting quite frustrated.

  • TS1501 transferring a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro (this way you can upload one album at a time, file them into a new album on macbook pro)  Pls. advise.

    How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro?  In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.)  Not working for me!  Macbook pro does include iphoto.  I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.)  Help!  Goal is to keep albums together.

    Hi all,
    Goal:  Backing up photos!
    Hope:  Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
    Is this possible?  Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
    UGH!
    HELP!

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library, because I can only see the old accounts music.

    I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

    You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
    Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.
