I need a 17 inch MacBook Pro. Can I buy a new one?

Hi,
I need to buy a few new 17 inch notebooks.
Apple seems to have discontinued this model.
Anyone know if they will change (start to sell 17 inch notebooks again)?
Can anyone recommend an alternative notebook that is 17 inches?
Thank you.
Best wishes to all.

Dear Kappy,
Thank you for responding soo quickly.
I will go and have a look at your recommendations.
A bit of a shame to have to buy an "old" new version of an amazing product.
Do you think I should wait a few months to see if Apple changes its mind and sells these with all the new bells and whistles, so to speak?
Thank You.
Best wishes to all.

  • Stolen MacBook Pro, can I buy a new one with educational discount?

    I know this might not fit in this forum, but my question is:
    I have a MBP purchased last October with my educational discount. I think it is the case that I can use my educational discount only once a year to buy an Apple computer. However, my MBP is stolen and I have copies of the reports from the police. Can I use my educational discount again even if its less than one year since my last purchase?
    Also, is there a place I can register the stolen computer's MAC address or serial number so in case it goes back for Apple for a repair, it can be caught.
    Thanks,

    *"Can I use my educational discount again even if its less than one year since my last purchase?"*
    Nobody here can answer that with any certainty. You would need to ask Apple.

  • If I had a macbook pro, and I buy a new one can I give my old macbook to pay part of the new one ?

    The thing is that I want to buy a new macbook, but I dont know if apple can accept my old one as a part of paying part of the macbook. If not, what are the options for my old macbook pro?

    Apple doesn't take used systems in trade. You can prepare the system to be sold (delete your personal data, etc), and put it on ebay or craigslist or other resource to sell it. Or you could always donate it to a member of your family.

  • My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro and I had a new one installed and they were unable to get my pictures off of it. Is there anyone who could help? I'm going to lose all my memories of my kids! I got my old hard drive

    My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

    I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.

    Hi Willcarter,
    It is all up to you. You can use the phone line which came with the printer or you can get a new one. It does need to be a 2-wire phone line though.
    Thanks

  • LOST MY USB CABLE..CAN I BUY A NEW ONE SOMEWHERE???

    i purchased my ipod nano about 4 months ago..foolishly about a week ago i let my younger brother borrow it..when he brought it back the USB cable was missing..now i cant hook it into my PC..so my question is can i purchase a new USB cable for my ipod from a store (like The Source) or do i need to order a new one??

    You might consider buying a wall charger for your iPod. Handy to have anyway, but I know some of them, like the Griffin Technology Power Block...
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
    come with a spare iPod USB syncing cable. Apple charges about $20 US for a replacement cable, so for about $10 US more you can get a cable and a spare external wall charger as well.

  • Used Appleworks on old Macbook Pro. Migrated everything.  New one won't read my files.  What do I do?  My life's work.

    I tried Text Edit, the one that comes with the Mac, but got garbage instead of my syllabus.  Message reads "Power PC no longer supported". 
    I dread uploaded everything to Google Docs because there is so much material, years and years of work.

    What version of Apple Works created these files?  Apple works 6 or greater documents will open with Pages.  If you don't have Pages, you can download a 30 day free trial here http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/ You can download a full version from the "apps store" for $19.95
    Once you have it, right click on one of your apple works document, and select "get info".  A long skinny info window will open.  In the "open with" section, ensure you set "Pages", then click the "change all" button.  Close this "get info window"
    Now just click on one of your apple works files, and it should open in Pages   Pages tutorials can be found here - http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#pages-hero

  • Infinity cable, can i buy a new one?

    Hello, being very clever i upgraded to infinity, had it instaled, decorated and hid the cable. Was great idea until one of the kids decided to hoover (shock) pulled the PC away from the wall and the black cable comes out of the grey connector in the rear of the white openreach box ARRRRRR have done a bodge with an old thin multi cable connector but need a new cable with just the two inner wires! Have tride looking but cannot find one anywhere? Thanks for reading my waffle :-)

    Do you mean the grey cable that goes from your white openreach modem to your phone socket on the wall?

    I have install iWork in my las macbook pro, now i have a new one, i want to instal it again, do i need to buy it again?

    Nope! Just make sure your signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to buy iWork on your last MacBook and the buy button should just say download instead.

  • Do Apple still sell batteries for 13-Inch Macbook Pros?

    Macbook was purchased in Mid-2010 and has finally died. Can I buy a new one or do I have to go to a genius bar to get it replaced?

    You can buy from Apple if you want an Apple "branded" battery, or you can buy one and install it yourself from sources such as ifixit, PowerbookMedic, or OWC.
    Good luck,
