I'm needing a laptop for the end of Highschool/University

I was thinking a a MBP but now seeing other's opinions I'm debating whether to look into a Pro or a Air. I'm expecting to do video editing, Internet, viewing word documents, spreadsheets, Power points, and app developing. I need it to be somewhat portable, for often I find myself in a state in which I need a computer for a project and I have to get home to do it, but for university I might need portability over power. I do believe that I will be viewing video so a 15 inch Pro would be handy but then not for portability. I'm almost considering a 13 inch MBP for that but you don't get the choice of the larger screen size or hi def. Also, would it be nice to have the possessing power of the i7 over the Intel core 2 duo? Please help me!

Just so you know..............
MBP is NOT a laptop and should NOT be used as one.  It is a "notebook."

    Questions for the end users in Building an application.
    Hello,
    I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
    as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
    However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
    questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
    but I need to ask questions.
    Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

    For starters,
    DO:
    Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
    Try to understand their level of computer literacy
    Keep your conversation non-technical
    Continue to interact with the users during the design and
    development process
    Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
    project progresses
    DON'T:
    Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
    Talk down to them
    Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
    requirements and they have approved them

  • What is the regular expression for the end of a story?

    Forgive me if this is wrong forum for asking this, but I'm trying to use the Find command using GREP and I need to know the regular expression for the end of a story. (Or, the last character of a story.) Thanks in advance.

    I'd try search for .\z (that's a dot in front) which ought to find the very last character in the story, and replace with $0 and your additional text.
    You know you can use a keyboard shortcut to move your cursor to the end of any story, right? Ctrl + End on Windows, Cmd + End, I think, on Mac. Unless you want to do this to every single story in the document, I would think you might be just as well off to put your text on the clipboard, put the cursor in the story and hit the key combo followed by Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste.

  • Satellite 1000-Z2: I need a driver for the display and the LAN

    Hi
    I have reformatted my laptop S1000-Z2, and I am having real trouble trying to find any information on this model !
    Basically I need a driver for the display, and the LAN ?
    Best Regards,
    Austin.

    What OS do you use???
    If you use the XP you will not find the LAN driver on the recommended driver site!
    I can not give you any advices where to find such driver because I dont know what LAN card is installed in your oldie.
    But why you dont check this yourself? Try to find out what LAN card you use and googel a little bit for compatible applications ;)

  • Right Laptop for the Job?

    Hi Folks,
    I work with wedding, performance, concert video and photo and considering to buy a new laptop for the job that will eveintually have Production Premium 5.5 & Lightroom 3. I have 3 following models in my consideration list.
    Sony Vaio:
    Intel® Core™ i7-740QM-prosessor
    8GB RAM
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 425M GPU
    HP EliteBook 8540W
    Intel Core i7 740QM 1,73 GHz
    8BG RAM
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M
    Mac Book Pro
    2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
    8GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics 3000
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
    Price is not an issue.
    Which one should I chose & why ? Kindly given me an opinion beyond "mac vs pc" arguments .......

    Basically, for using the internet you have a few options:
    • Phone line
    • Ethernet cable (from internet jack in wall)
    • Wifi if you are in a Wifi zone (your Mac has built-in wireless capability, you just need to find a wireless network to join)
    • Some phone companies have USB cards that you can plug in and get internet anywhere, but of course for extra charge
    The Macbook you are looking at should do the job fine, and can access the internet via any of the options above.
    P.S. You may already know this, but you are allowed to have FCE installed on one desktop computer and one laptop, so you could install your FCE HD on your new laptop. Also, make sure if you are editing HDV (I assume this is the case since FCE HD doesn't support AVCHD) that you get the white macbook, not the aluminum one because the aluminum doesn't have a firewire port that is required to capture HDV footage. If you are planning to edit AVCHD, you need to get FCE4.

    PES 2012 is no longer available in the US App Store and only on the British App Store currently.

    That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
    Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync.

    I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

    You will need an adaptor to convert the plug only, the voltage is fine.

    It isn't that risky. You may be reading hundreds of posts here about problems, but that is out of MILLIONS of iPhones that have been upgraded. Percentage-wise, that means most people have no problem.
    However, as with any major change to your system, you should back up everything your iPhone first. Just right-click it in iTunes to get the backup menu. That will be your safe fallback position in case something goes wrong.
    I still use an iPhone 3GS. That's older than your iPhone. But iOS 5 works fine on it.

    one subscription entitles users to install and activate their adobe apps on up to two computers concurrently.
    so yes, you can subscribe to the photographer plan and use both ps and lr on a desktop and a laptop (or two desktops or two laptops).  they can both be macs or both be pcs or one of each.
