Noob shopping 4 basic unit, need DVD eSata + gigabit Enet, HDD

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices here, hoping some here may be so familier with the product line they'll be able to point me in the right direction.
First of all I don't have a lot of money, don't need latest and greatest bells and whistles, things like reliability/durability and battery life are more important.
That said I'd like a Haswell processor, ideally "ultra" but i5's fine and I'd like to be able to go to 12+GB RAM later on if possible. Prefer integrated graphics.
Definitely NEED DVD burner, eSata and gigabit ethernet.
HDD rather than SSD, ideally 7200.
I assume even if it ships with W8 I'll be able to (driver issues, licensing not an issue) downgrade to W7. And Linux compatibility, so an older model might be better than the newer one.
In fact I'd LOVE to find a second-hand unit on eBay if it'll save more than a couple hundred. . .
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

eSATA has been slowly phased out for USB 3.0, there are not many modern Haswell laptops that also has eSATA.
For ThinkPad, the T420 and T520 was the last to have eSATA, and they are not ultrabay.
If you are okay with eSATA, then consider T430u (which is a ultrabook, but no DVD drive) and T430 (a normal laptop with dvd burner). Both of them are capable of handling 16 gigs of ram.
If you are okay with older laptop, then T420 and T520, which has eSATA and 16 gigs of ram capability, and also has dvd burner.
Edge E520 is another option if you need cheap laptop that has eSATA, optical drive and 16 gigs of ram. Or the E530, which has USB 3.0 rather than eSATA.
All of them can be found cheap on ebay.

Basic unit of measure conversion

If one PAC needs to contain 10 units, what should the conversion table look like in the "additional data" screen of MM02?

hi,
If one PAC needs to contain 10 units:
conversion table look like:
X AUN Measurement unit text <= Y BUN measurement unit text
1 PAC Pack <= 10 (ST) Units
and
if for the material you maintained ( BUN) basic unit of measure as ST -- units, then one pacK = 10 units. if you maintained in KG then one pacK = 10 kgs.
hope this may help you,

Basic transitions need to be rendered

I just installed the uprage to FCP 6 and the some of the basic transitions need to be rendered before I can view them. I never had this problem before upgrading, so am assuming it is a setting that I am missing.
A couple would play (some dissolves, all iris & a few more) and they come up with a grey line above it -- but most of the basic ones (some slides, some dissolves, stretch) come up with a red line and require rendering.
I figure it must be a setting that I missed but can't find it in the manual or searching this forum.
Any help would be wonderful.
Thank-you

FCP gave me the message that the clips were a different format than the sequence so I fixed that. Turns out it was the safe RT - now I remember having to do that the first time I installed the program. Feel kinda silly for forgetting something so basic.
Thanks so much for helping on such simple screw up.
Fixed it all!!!

Basic things needed to connect JDE One World XE B7333 SP17 to XI?

Hello....
Can anyone tell me the basic things needed to connect JDE One World XE B7333 SP17 to XI?
Hve anyone done this scenario before?
--Pramod.

Hi Pramod
I have not worked on any scenario between JD Edwards and XI, but SAP has a list of adapters provided by iWay software, one of which is used to connect to JDE One World XE. The good thing about this adapter is that, you do not require a separate runtime.
You can get more info about the adapter from SAP Market place under,
SAP Exchange Infrastructure --> SAP XI in Detail --> Connectivity --> Connectivity SAP XI 3.0 --> iWay.
hope it helps

Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad. If your Carrier supports it. Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

Do we need DVD Studio Express?

Hi All,
Since Apple chose to package it's Pro apps all together into Final Cut Studio there no longer seems to be a semi pro authoring solution. So people take the trouble of learning a more advanced application like Final Cut Express only to have to revert back to consumer level iDVD to author. And to add to that they don't even work well together.
It seems that the only solution is FCE & iDVD or shell out for a full blown Studio package.
I think we need DVD Studio Express. Anyone else agree?
David.
P.S. I've also posted some feedback to Apple along the same kind of lines here:

Hi Tom,
I would think that iDVD would need a little more work to make it truely DVD Studio Express. Some that immediately come to mind are:
- The need to integrate more closely with FCE
- Proper handing of widescreen footage outside of projects created with iMovie
- The ability to specify aspect ratios within the application (auto letterbox, pan and scan etc)
- More control over the menu options (for example specifying the selection order. Or to change the order of assets in the menu without recreating the menu)
iDVD is distictively comparable to iMovie, whereas FCE is a true stepping stone to FCP.
I think there's plenty of scope to have a cut down version of DVD SP in much the same way that Final Cut Express is a cut down version of Final Cut Pro.
Just a thought.
David.

What photo shop product do I need that will enable me to place a SOLD or FOR SALE stamp on a photo?

You'd be able to do that with Photoshop Elements - a fraction of the cost of Photoshop.

hi there, i want to upgrade to snow leopard in order to purchase lion os from the snowleopard store. The problem is that i can't find a shop selling original snowleopard os dvd in my country. Why don't you keep an online s.leopard version so we can purchase it ?!

Hi,
Have you tried your country's online Apple Store? Snow Leopard is still available on mine, here in the UK. Otherwise, your best chance is eBay. You might also try CeX.
Good luck,

Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.
