Is the current MacBook Pro right for me?

I'm looking into purchasing a 17" MBP, 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM and 7200 RPM 500GB HDD.
Now, I'm trying to tiptoe around this subject as speculation is frowned upon here, so please forgive me if I happen to accidentally cross any sort of speculating line.
Anyway, I need a machine that's portable (not ultraportable), able to smoothly and easily work with large audio/video/image files (Logic Studio, Final Cut, Photoshop, etc), and occasionally do some gaming. I'm sure this particular MBP would be able to do the trick.
HOWEVER, with all the rage regarding Sandy Bridge processors and a possible MBP refresh soon, one thing has got me curious. (Sorry for the speculating here.)
My understanding is that the current MBP has integrated as well as a dedicated video card, and IF a Sandy Bridge MBP was released, it would be switched to integrated video. Basically, I'm wondering if these integrated graphics would be a negative thing for someone like me. I know in the past, integrated graphics have been less than stellar.
I also understand that Sandy Bridge features great energy saving and performance upgrades, which are of course welcome. I'm not impatient, so I can wait for a refresh, but if it's going to have a negative impact on what I need it for, I'd rather get a hold of the current MBP while I still can.
As I said, I apologize for any speculation or "bad things" in this post.

Great posts guys! Thanks.
I am aware of the recall, and like I said, I've got no problem waiting. I believe Intel has already announced they will start shipping again soon. An interesting note here. Since only the four SATA II connections on the board were faulty, the two SATA III connections were fine, some manufacturers may still use the "faulty" boards. I don't think I'd be bothered too much by connections that I'd never be able to use not working properly. Assuming no other problems would arise.
Anyone have any more input on the dedicated/integrated graphics situation? Could Apple still include a dedicated graphics card along with these Intel integrated graphics?
Thanks again!

    Yes, it is in the United States and Canada. In other countries, the LL will be something else.

  • Current 13 inch keyboard layout is it the same as the  current MacBook Pro

    Iv'e been looking at a refurb 13 inch Air and noticed the enter key is the same as the current MacBook pro. Is this the current layout or the old style
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think you are referring to the Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook. It's an Unibody computer, and this MacBook has got a non-replaceable battery. You have to take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery replaced.
    The steps of the link you gave are for non-Unibody MacBooks Pro, that have got a replaceable battery. In this case, you have to buy the battery from the Apple Online Store

  • Which generation for the current macbook pro 13?

    Which generation proccessor the macbook pro 13 normal and retina currently selling in apple store?
    Which should I go for?

    vzhen,
    you can get the non-Retina model with either a 2.5 GHz Core i5 or a 2.9 GHz Core i7 Ivy Bridge CPU. You can get the Retina model with either a 2.4 GHz Core i5 Haswell, a 2.6 GHz Core i5 Haswell, or a 2.8 GHz Core i7 CPU.
    You should go for whichever model best meets your requirements.

  • Should i get the current MacBook Pro or the new design MacBook pro 2012?

    Dear all,
    GImme some opinions which to choose? Should i wait for the supposedly new design MacBook Pro? or get the current models that hae pretty good specs? I'm doing college at the moment and my current laptop is 4yrs old in need of a new one and hopefully get the 17" MBP coz the specs seem amazing. I'm doing graphics and multimedia so i would need a laptop that can handle all those stuff and be fast. So gimme some ideas what you think abt the current MBP and the soon to come new models? which is something pretty doubtful.

    Hold off the buying. The current unibody macs are the last of the generation. A geenration that's in it's 4th year.
    You might want to consider upgrading your current hard drive only to an SSD if your mac supports it. You can then move this over to your new mac. That's what I have done, and the speed difference of an SSD makes it feel like a new machine.
    I would also suggest you buy a 15" and not a 17" save your money. The 17 is loking carrying a surfboard around.

  • Is a Macbook Pro right for me?

    So I'm looking in to buying a new computer, and I want to know if the Macbook Pro is right for me. (Making the topic title sort of self explanatory.)
    I've been using PCs all my life and I've recently been lounging around the Apple site and looking at the Macs, since, until now, I've never had a large enough computer budget to buy one, but I'm into gaming and my main concern is the graphics card in the Macbook Pro, since I have to pay over my ($1,500) budget, though, the $1,529 refurbished mac is 15 inches and has the Radeon 6770m, which is actually a pretty good graphics card from the notebook check benchmarks... does anyone use their Mac for gaming? My backup is the 27" iMac with the 6950, which is also very good. I also think that most of the programs are just better quality for the kind of stuff I want to do. iMovie > > > > > > > > Windows Movie Maker (especially that new Live variation...) and Garage Band is better than anything I can get for the PC. Just saying.

    I think I'd like portability, being I could bring on trips and stuff like that. Here's the link to the one I'm looking at.

    or this mac if I can scrape together some more funds.

  • Is the NVIDIA processor in the 2014 MacBook Pro helpful for Photoshop?

    I am in the market for a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I am trying to decide between a few different models. Is the NVIDIA 750M Graphics Processor going to make any difference in my life, positive or negative? I use InDesign and Photoshop quite a bit, I am starting to do more coding and am always meaning to get back into Dreamweaver and learn Muse. I only edit video once every couple years, and it's always pretty low-stakes when I do. Will Photoshop see any benefit from the discrete graphics processor? If not now, should I be planning on it benefitting in the next five years or so? Alternately, would switching between the two processors actually hinder Photoshop's performance?
    Thanks!

    This will give you an idea and help you decide what is best for your work. 1-2 GB vram is good.  2 GB vram would future-proofing it if requirements change.
    Roberto works the graphics design beat and is clear about what's really important.

  • Can the current Macbook Pro 13 inch run Color?

    Under Minimum Requirements, it says it needs a bigger display. Can it still run, even if it is a little small, or will it refuse to run altogether?

    Double click on the screen icon and find out!
    I doubt it, though. The minimums are pretty hard-and-fast, mostly because the UI is absolutely inflexible. There are hacks for re-setting the minimums at an OS level, but the results are unpredictable and usually result in an unusable install. Mostly because users can't read the tiny print on the buttons.

  • Have the current macBook Pro (13") using OSX

    I have made a mess of everything to the point where I probably should start fresh and reload everything. Is there some way I could reset to original factory settings?

    Restart your MB and hold the command R.
    That will boot in recovery mode.
    Make sure you have internet connection.
    You'll have options to install in factory default

  • Supported RAM in the new MacBook Pro

    On Black Friday last year I purchased 8gb of RAM for the current MacBook Pro. Will this RAM be supported in my new MacBook Pro that I ordered right after the refresh Thursday?

    You are best off to buy the specified new Ram modules 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
    Mac is finicky about RAM. Yes you could install your old RAM but I suspect out of nowhere in a week you will be wondering why all of a sudden you have a Kernel Panic. Just buy the correct RAM.
    Send along the old RAM (1067 MHz DDR3) with your old MBP when you sell it.

  • Early 2013 MacBook Pro vs Current MacBook Pro

    I have an early-2013 15" Retina MacBook Pro (2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 768GB SSD). MacMall has a good deal on the current MacBook Pro (2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD). The new one has updated processor (Haswell vs IvyBridge), larger hard drive and AC wifi vs N. Would I notice a difference at all or is it worth waiting for next-gen MacBook Pros. I assume they will come with the new trackpad and other enhancements that the just released 13" MacBook Pro has. New MacBook Pro is $2944 and can probably get about $1000 to $1,200 for the old one.

    There will be a slight improvement in performance, but I could not state definitively that you would notice it other than in a benchmark. A faster clock and Haswell CPU is a slight improvement, but I wouldn't consider it major based on benchmarks I've seen published when Haswell's were first released. If you look for them on Google perhaps they can give you a more definitive answer to your question.
    As it is you still have considerable life left in what you have, so you need to consider whether the change in performance is worth the added net expenditure of $1,900.00.

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • Non-Glossy screen for the 13" MacBook Pro...the 13" MacBook Air has it!?!?!

    Sorry if this has already been discovered, but I just realized.....Why isn't there a Matte option for the screen on the 13" MacBook Pro? The 17" has always had it with an upgrade, the 15" now has the option for the upgrade, but why not the 13"??? I was trying to think what it would look like and then realized.....it would look like the MacBook Air......RIGHT? Because the MacBook air doesn't have a black frame around the screen, and its not glossy, and is the same 13" 1280 x 800, so why not bring that option to the MacBook PRO? (On second thought, I'd also like to have a 1440 x 900 option even though the fonts will be even smaller! lol I love screen space!)

    As someone with 20 years professional experience in digital imaging, both in video and stills, Photoshop retouching, Quark press work, and working with everything from Binuscan to Shake, having supervised thousands of press checks and taught thousands of personnel in everything from Newspapers to video Post-houses as a consultant and trainer, I love the glossy screens for the color saturation, rich blacks and fine detail rendition.
    That said, the many years of glossy Sony, Barco and Mitsu/Lacie CRT screens have taught me to use hoods and proper lighting; this goes for matte LCD screens as well, where ANY pro color-critical work should be done with a hood, such as the Hoodman or Think Tank products. That said, I have no problem in airports, outdoors, etc. using any of my glossy screen MPS, I find a properly calibrated glossy screen on these to be, at least with the latest iteration of the glossy screens available on the Unibody MBPs, eminently usable for pro color work.
    The point is, at least for me, that anyplace I'd need to worry about glare and reflections on a glossy screen MBP, I also have to worry about the same on the matte screen. For example, my wife now uses my previous generation MBP matte-screen 15" LED backlit model. This is the case when I use hers when out and about. Pro work CAN and IS done by many pros who PREFER the glossy screen MBPs to their matte screen counterparts, and manage to get pro quality work done more easily on them, as it suits their taste, and somehow manages to produce results avery bit as professional as pro users on matte-screen MBPs. I know I'm in the minority here, with regard to pros who prefer glossy screen MBPs to matte-screen ones.
    Since I am, after all, in the pro minority, I agree that Apple NEVER should have removed the matte option, and I'd be happy to have, and think it's the ethical thing to do, Apple not only offer matte screens on all laptop products from now on, but that they RETURN to making glossy displays on MacBook Pros (and MacBooks, for that matter) an EXTRA-COST OPTION, and make matte screen displays the standard. That's the fair and logical thing for Apple to do, and I wouldn't mind at all paying for being in the Pro minority by paying an extra $50.00 USD, or even $100.00 over a standard matte-screen display in any and al of the Apple laptop line.
    The matte screen's no longer what I use on my laptops for pro work, and i prefer it that way. But I know, too, that if Apple suddenly yanked the glossy displays with NO Option AT ALL of buying a MBP with a glossy display, I'd be freakin' livid. So I empathize with those pros, and anyone else, who prefers matte screens but who've been unfairly 'locked out' by Apple from paying the same as glossy screen laptops on the 15" and the 17" UMBPs and having NO glossy option on the 13" UMBP. Makes no sense at all, to quote Husker Du. ;^) BUT- pros who prefer the glossy display MBPs (I've owned all 3 unibody MBPs, with and without the superior quality latest-generation displays- the 13" MBP, the 15" MBP and the 17"), should, IMO, have at least the option to purchase the glossy display, at least as an extra-cost option. THAT would make the most sense, since the majority of pros who use UMBPs prefer the matte screen, and that vast majority should not only have the matte-screen option, but the matte-screen discount as well!

  • Thinking of changing my current Macbook Pro for recently released?

    My current Macbook Pro is the 15" bought in 2008 just when the glossy screen computers came out. Its a good unit with 4 gigs RAM, 2.4 mhz processor etc.
    However, I just bought an iMac 27" i5. Its very powerful and is now the centre of my computing universe. Oddly, since I got the iMac I use my portable as a portable more than ever. I was thinking though that really since the iMac is so powerful probably all I'd need is the 13.3" new Macbook Pro. It would be lighter and more portable but I'm not sure it would give me any performance enhancements over what I currently have.
    I'm just curious what others thoughts are on the new 13.3" Macbook Pro. The only advantage I can with it over my current Macbook Pro is the graphics processor looks like its more powerful. The battery life is also amazing. On my current Macbook Pro I'm lucky to get 3 hours. This machine is rated at 10 hours.
    Considering I've got a powerful iMac i5, does it make sense just to get the 13.3" Macbook Pro or spring for the 15.4. I don't think I need two powerful computers considering I use the iMac as the centre. Plus, I realize now that the apps I use all this power is wasted on.
    I could probably sell my current Macbook Pro for $1000 as it has a tiny dent from a fall, buy the new Macbook Pro for $1200 plus and have something that is a little more portable with great battery life and I suspect maybe somewhat faster. My current computer is of course a matte screen and I don't think you can beat that but I think this combo I'm thinking of might be a better fit.
    I just want people's thoughts views especially around also that the 13.3" Macbook Pro is a core duo 2 and I think this processor is pretty well near the end of its life. I saw Steve Jobs say though that the performance boost from the new Macbook Pro would have been minimal with an i5 but a lot with the new graphics cards.
    Thoughts would be very much appreciated.

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.
    Ciao.

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.
