Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

If you are going to use Mac OS X and its associated applications, and a BootCamp partition with Windows 8, and MS Office and all of the work created there, you will more than likely run out of space on a 128 GB SSD pretty quickly...especially if you put any music, photos or videos on it. Those things take a lot of space so you will have to be very, very careful about what you want to put on a 128 GB storage space. You would be better off going for 512 GB with what you plan on doing with it.

Yes. Apple care is associated with the serial number, and stays with the machine even if you where to sell the machine before the Apple care expires.

I was planning to buy Iphone 4 32gb Japan locked here in Philippines.
Question is:
1. Can I still download apps from appstore?
2. Can I sync my IP to my desktop(ITunes) so I can add pictures/vids/songs?
3. What are the restrictions of a locked IP?
I just want to use it like ITouch.

You can also do all that with iPod touch.
You have been warned, so it's up to you to decide. Good luck.

Hi. I'm planning to buy a MacBook Air. To make it faster, what should I prioritize to upgrade, the i5 processor to i7 or the 4gb RAM to 8gb. Thanks!

Absolutely the 8gig of Ram
i7 is only 15% faster average on high task apps, otherwise you'd not notice a difference

quicken should work with lion.
Quicken Essentials will work with Lion. Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet. It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered. Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies. The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken). That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it. Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company. Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market. That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.

If I am planning on buying a macbook and my parent is an educator, therefor I would get a discount... If my parent does not come to buy it with me is there any way that I will still be able to recieve the discount?

If I am planning on buying a macbook and my parent is an educator, therefor I would get a discount... If my parent does not come with me to buy it is there any way that I can still receive the discount?

If you are a college student and take a student ID you will get the education discount. If you are a student in public or private high school and have a student ID you may get the discount. I know of some parents/students who claim to have gotten the discount and some who have been denied it. Not sure if that's due to a policy change or just a difference in interpretation of who is eligible. I suggest you call your local store to find out.

I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?

I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN. That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!

Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price).

Planning to buy Apple MacBook Pro MD101HN/A 13-inch

Dear Experts,
I am from India and I would like to buy a MacBook Pro 13 Inch without Retina display (MD101HN/A). This is available in India amazon site but I couldn't find it in (MD101HN/A) in US amazon site.
I am basically a developer and wanted to build some apps. I have a MacBook(white) bought in 2008(earlier version of mac) and one of my friend has same one but bought it in 2009 (later version of mac). But unfortunately my macbook doesn't support 64bit due to which I couldn't upgrade my OS. My friend macbook supports.
If I buy a MacBook Pro (MD101HN/A) WITHOUT retina display, does it supports all upcoming operating systems (like Yosemite OS) at least for 3 to 4 years as Retina Display MacBooks or does apple will restrict OS up-gradation to only Retina displays.
I am actually confused between MacBook pro "with Retina" and "without Retina" display. I have few queries on this, kindly clarify.
What is the main difference between Macbook Pro WITH and WITHOUT retina display. Is it just resolution and flash storage or anything else?
I am planning to take MacBook Pro with 500GB HD (5400RPM), how much difference it make it terms of speed if we compare with 128GB flash storage?
Is all up-gradations works for Macbook Pro older version (MD101HN/A) same as Retina display Macbooks?
Why can't I find the mode MD101HN/A in US Amazon site ?
Thanks.....

So my question is, will I face the same problem with this non-retina display model with in 4 years ( in terms of up-gradation) or apple will allow us to up-grade the OS versions may be by just increase the RAM ( 4GB to 8GB or 8GB to 16GB).
You are asking me to predict the future. What the technical requirements will be like in 4 years from now is not even known to Apple. I can only point out that a mid.late 2007 MBP can run Mavericks and will probably also run Yosemite. That is a 7 year old MBP. I would wager that this is not a concern.
Can I go head a buy this below model. Please suggest.
http://www.amazon.in/Apple-MacBook-MD101HN-13-inch-Laptop/dp/B00DKMCB20/ref=sr_1 _1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412407181&sr=8-1&keywords=macbook+pro+13
If that model meets your current needs, purchase it. If it does not meet your requirements, look for other options. Retina MBPs have superior displays and very fast storage drives but from an operational standpoint are essentially the same as its non retina cousin. In the end, the decision is yours, not mine.
Ciao.

I'm planning on buying a MacBook Pro retina display

I was wondering if the baseline model with 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory
128GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2
(13 inch $1299 version)
Is that storage enough for light web browsing, video watching, picture storage, Microsoft word, and general stuff. I'm not a hardcore gamer and will not be using any gaming, no video editing, no photoshop, I'm just a high school student using it for general things and homework. Is this suitable for me?

128gig SSD is always plenty storage for 98% of people
due to:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

I'm planning on buying a MacBook Pro 13" soon and I do a bit of photography. But I still have a few questions!!!!!

Well, I'm currently on a Windows 7 based laptop (HP Pavilion dv6 2010). I like Windows and I've been using it all my life and I think it's great!!! But, there are features the the OS X has that Windows doesn't have (namley the Motion Gestures).
Things I want to know:
1.) There is one feature that Windows 7 has it's called Themes (where you can play slide shows of your pictures on your desktop and also play around with the color effects of the taskbar). I really love this feature as a pohotographer!!! I wanted to know if the Mac OS X Lion has a feature similar to this (where I can change the color effects on the dock. Also, have a slide show of pictures on my desktop that change, lets say every 5 mins, from a particular folder in 'My Pictures' while, I'm working or using an App. Also on Windows 7 you can name/save/share that theme with others is that possible on the Mac).
2.) An other question I need an answer for is, is there a free program for Mac OS X similar to IZArc (and .rar extractor). I use this program quite frequently on my PC (mainly while downloading textures shared online, I use a lot of textures for my pictures).
3.) Which is more realiable Microsoft Office or iWork. I'm used to working on MS Office (especially on Word, Outlook, Excel, & Powerpoint). My college uses Microsoft Office and I'm a business major (photography is just a really big hobby of mine) so which would benefit me Numbers or Excel (I would most probably go with MS Office, I just want to hear other opinions, like features that iWork has and MS Office doesn't).
4.) Would the 500 GB hard drive @5400 rmp benefit me or would it be slow (like affect start up times/resume times/opening large files. My HP dv6 2009 has a 500 GB hard drive @ 7200 rpm). Would I need an SSD? (I don't think I can afford one).
5.) Can I share files with Windows based computers at my home (we have 2 HP laptops, three Desktops, and one of the desktops is attached to a printer. And since this desktop has a printer, it's essential that we connect to this desktop). So, can a MacBook Pro connect to a Windows home network.
6.) Are there any overheating issues with the new MacBook Pro 13"? My HP pavilion dv6 2010 does (it's due to poor build quality and improper venting, also the 500 GB HDD @7200 rpm). Whereas, my dad's HP Pavilion dv5 2011 doesn't.
If I get to have all the features on the Mac OS X Lion, I would feel like having no compromises and purchase myself a MacBook Pro 13" immediatley or sometime soon!!!

I plan on buying a Macbook Pro 15" i7 2.66GHz model. Got a few questions

I heard that these Macbooks can get to 100 degrees and overheat. Is this true and is it a widespread problem?
What things in the macbook are user changeable?
Can I install a different OS?

I heard that these Macbooks can get to 100 degrees and overheat. Is this true and is it a widespread problem?
No problems here. They have a built-in safety feature that will shut the unit down if get gets too hot.
Can I install a different OS?
Yes, with the use of Boot Camp, Parallels or VMware.
