Is there a substantial difference between the macbook 2.0ghz and the 2.1gh?

Hi
I have the 2.0ghz macbook, £699 from PCworld.co.uk and I've just spotted the 2.1ghz, white, priced at £789: I'm buying a macbook for my nephew so it would be good toknow which is better...

Is there a huge difference between these two computers?
I am a complete newbie to macs (although a complete convert as they rock!) but I'm really confused as mine says it's a 2.1 but the specs are for a 2.0. Am I just reading this wrong? I've copy/pasted this from my computer:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B06
SMC Version: 1.17f0
Serial Number: W8734HN5Z5V
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
It says it's a macbook 2.1 but it has only a 2.0ghz processer, I am completely confused...
It's only another £90 so would it be worthwhile paying a little bit extra? Is the £789 macbook a better computer, will it last longer, perform better over time?
Lots of uestions, sorry for being a newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Karen

Hey Karen -
I think that you misunderstood my comment. I was merely referring to the statement from your Hardware Overview that mentioned the fact that you indeed had a 2.0 MacBook to clarify the confusion that you had in reading your specs.
The processor speed is not an upgradable item. You would need to get a new MacBook in order to increase you processor speed.
The RAM (you have 1GB) and your Hard Drive (unknown size) are the only upgrades that can be made to your MacBook.
Don't waste your time with Mac for Dummies....instead, if you are famiar with using MS Windows, go here: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
Hope this helps.

There is a difference between the document total and its components

Hi!
I have an error message "There is a difference between the document total and its components" when I want to create an InventoryGenEntry
the problem arises from time to time and my customer must do the document two or three times before it is created.
I have seen in this forum and in notes that this is probably being caused by a Rounding.
I am using 2 digits for amounts, 4 digits for prices, 6 digits for rates and 3 digits for quantities.
For information my customer use SAP 2005 and the patch level 46.
This problem happened only in InventoryGenEntry. how can I modifiy parameters to resolve this problem?
thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Séverine

Hi Séverine,
Do you find any additional code added to SBO_SP_Transaction stored procedure. A similar issue with stock transfer fixed in later patch. Please test in latest patch.

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

Software support of graphics card is key. If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored. Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
Your question is:
¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
--NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
--ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

There's any difference between the 2 ways

i need to update specific infotype record.
there's 2 ways:
1) update the specific record the disadventage is that
   the update doesn't pass sap date check from the screen.
   in addition, i can't use batch input because while i
   lock the employee i need to update other record.
2) from dynamic event in modify record.
   in this way it's pass sap date check ? ?
for finally, is there any difference between the 2 ways ?

Hi,
If you use the BAPIs 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE' & 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'
before and after each function call to 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION', you should be able to update mutiples infotype records for the same employee in a single Program.
2). Are you referring to Dynamic Actions?

Is there much speed difference between the iMacs?

Just wondering, if there is any noticeable performance difference between the 1.83 - the 2.0 and the 2.16?
I'd be surprised to learn that there was (and also, keenly interested to learn).
My experience is that a dual processor is noticeably more capable than a single processor (regardless of minor increments at the end of the processor number).
Anyone?

You are right that it is more about futher differentiating the models than anything else. The speed difference is negligible, but a nice plus is you choose a larger display. Typically you also get a larger standard HD and maybe a better video card and if you add all those things up, the price difference is worth it.

Is there a huge difference between the 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz MBP's?

I am wondering if there is a really big difference between the two models? The 2.0GHz model seems fine for doing college homework, papers, power point, photo editing, video editing, web surfing, not a heavy gamer, I make podcasts and YouTube videos. This is what I mainly do... Can someone tell me if maybe I might have to get the 2.2GHz? Thanks!

Spend the little more money for the 2.2Ghz your graphics potential is awesome and thus future proofs your machine a lot longer than 2.0 which the integrated and the discrete graphics are about the same lousy performance.
Also your resale value will be much higher and more willing buyers if you should ever need too.

Differences between a macbook from UK and Germany?

Are there any differences between a macbook pro 15 from UK and Germany except the different keyboard layout and the power adapter ?

jimfromberlin,
the duration of the seller’s warranty is probably shorter in Germany than in the UK. (The duration of the manufacturer’s warranty is identical.)

Is there is any difference between iPhone4 made for Ukraine and for India?

I would like to know about the hardware / software difference between iPhone4 made for Ukraine and for India.
I purchased my iPhone4 in Ukraine and now I'm in India, and here due to restart problem I visit to a local delear/shopkeeper and he replaced some parts of my device with damaged one (crack screen, etc etc) and told me that it is a scrap and need another iPhone4 to replace some parts of it. Now this cell is totally brick, I can't check the EMEI of that device {because now its not booting} and he didn't accept that he replace some/all parts of my device.
So, I want to know that is there is any way to locate these parts?

Apple does not sell iPhone parts. You no longer have an iPhone. You have an unsupportable frankenphone.
Go back to whoever opened it up and attempted to repair it. Your phone is not supportable here.

Is there a huge difference between the two different processors on the 13"

I'm trying to work out if is worth spending the extra $190 (AUS) on the 2.53 processor or if there really isn't much difference between it & the 2.26 processor?
My exceptional use might be using imovie & flicking between that & iphoto & itunes and possibly having firefox & mail & MS word running at the same time. But that would be exceptional use.
Normal use might be mail, firefox, iphoto or Adobe photoshop elements (System 9) and word running all at once.

It is a fair old jump from an eMac to a current MBP, sd and you will certainly appreciate the speed and RAM boost (though , of course, the decrease in RAM prices has meant that programmers are less circumspect about wasting the stuff than they were in the days when you eMac was made!)
Apple's prices on RAM and HD upgrades are much more realistic than they used to be, although you can still save a little if you buy the base configuration, upgrade yourself, and then sell the old drive and RAM. Both are regarded as "user upgradable" on the MBP. On the other hand, getting the official upgrade saves a lot of hassle, and prevents any possibility of warranty issues if you stuff something up in the process!
My own MBP13 is the "base model", with RAM increased to 4Gig. With 4 Gig on board it is a little faster than my older 20007 15" "santaRosa" MBP for most things. With 2 gig on board it was a little slower in the sort of areas you are interested in. It definitely needs the 4 Gig, I reckon. (Both are much, much, faster than my iMac G5).
Yes, your strategy makes pretty good sense to me. The processor speed difference is about 10% at best. In any situation where HD access etc is involved it is likely to be less. Compared to the eMac you are looking at increases of several hundred percent on most tasks. With more RAM, a bigger HD, and a current copy of Elements you'll still be a few dollars in front.

Is there a huge difference between the £999 Imac to purchase on store and a £300 refurb G5 model?

Is the difference between these machines so huge? I can see how certain specs are double but does that = double the speed? triple the price? I tried asking an apple support tech via the online chat and was simply told
"The technology of the newer machines is awesome"
If I walk into a car showroom, and I say "My Ford model bla has this engine, and these parts, I can make it go this fast" the sales-rep can turn around and say "Ahh but the new ford mondeos can travel up to XYZ" I don't get told "Well that car is old, you should buy our new one because I think it's awesome"
Considering the apple G5 is ONLY 5 years old, It seems to be hard to pin down the difference in speed/performance compared to the other companies.
Is someone with more technical gifting than I able to look at the 2 specs and say "This machine on average will be 500% faster" or "Actually, it will only be 40% faster".
£300 from a refurb dealer.

Is there a size difference between the ipad 1 and ipad 2?

I'm wondering about a survivor case for my ipad 1. They only come for ipads 2/3/4 is there a difference in the sizes? for case fitting?

Yes, the original iPad had a slightly different form factor than iPad 2 through iPad 4. iPad Air again changed the form factor.
