Recommend a good bag for a 15" Mac Book Pro

I wasn't quite sure where to post this question...
I will be getting the 15" MacBook Pro very soon, and would like to get a bag for it. Can anyone recommend a REALLY good laptop bag? I am not looking for a backpack. I would like to get a messenger type bag, but nothing too huge, just something larger enough for the computer and a notebook or two. Or maybe a sling type bag.
Thanks

I'm enjoying very much my 15" laptop bag/portable desk from Higher Ground.
I find this bag useful since you need not remove your laptop to use it. Your MBP sits up on rubber feet to allow air to pass underneath it and the bottom of the bag is reinforced and stiff so you could situate it on your lap or on any desk. Simply, unzip the case and open it as if you were opening the lid on your MBP. It has sufficient padding and velcro straps to firmly anchor your MBP.
There is one large external pocket and a series of internal pockets for CD's. It's not overly roomy for extra gear, but you can get your adapter stowed and several file folders. It can be carried by shoulder strap or simply like a briefcase.

    There is a US$10 adapter from old power adapter to new MacBook Pro.
    MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter
    The MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter allows you to use the MagSafe connector on your LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter to charge your MagSafe 2-equipped Mac computer.
    For battery life, check the latest Software Update for the fix for most problems.

    I have been editing with Final Cut for many years, on many different Macs.  Currently using Final Cut Express v4 on a 2.66GHZ Core2Duo MacBookPro with 8GB RAM.  Ditto on my 3.06GHZ Core2Duo iMac with 8GB RAM.  It runs really well on both computers.  An i5 based Mac will do even better.
    The amount of RAM definitely makes a difference if you are using things like Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, iMovie, Final Cut and similar apps.  They will run in 4GB RAM but they run a lot better with 8GB RAM or more.  If I were configuring a new Mac to run these kinds of programs, 8GB RAM would be my suggested minimum.

  • What is the best security lock for a 17" mac book pro?

    Hello Folks! Happy holidays!
    Quick question:
    What is the best security lock for a 17" mac book pro?
    Any models or brands ?
    Cheers!

    Most computers refer to the locking attachment in some relationship to the name "Kensington", and that might be a useful clue.
    Following that, be sure to avoid counterfeit products. A well-known computer vendor (not Apple), was approached by a large purchaser (several tens of thousands of laptops) who insisted on using a counterfeit locking product that had a larger than normal locking tab. The vendor modified the tooling to accept the counterfeit product and, wouldn't you know it, the genuine product would no longer secure the computer properly.

  • What adapter/converter do I use for my USA mac book pro in NEW ZEALAND?

    I'm studying abroad in New Zealand for 2 months and was wondering what type of adapter/converter do I use? I'm actually already here in New Zealand but buy a converter/adapter before I left. What should I look for on the box? I have a mac book pro 13 in that I bought in 2011.Thanks!

    The MacBook Pro power adapter is multi-voltage capable, so you will need just an AC outlet adapter for the New Zealand power system.

  • Pages for iPad and Mac Book Pro

    I bought Pages for my iPad. Can I now load it to my Mac Book Pro?

    Sorry, no. They are different version for different operating system, and will need to be purchased separately.

  • Do you need to buy antivirus and firewall software for a new mac book pro?

    If you purchase a new Mac book pro retina does it need antivirus and firewall products?

    No. Although disabled when you buy it, OS X has a built-in firewall that you can easily turn on should you need to. You would only need to if you were connecting to public Wi-Fi networks like at Starbucks. AV protection is also built-in to OS X.

    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.

  • Can I use an 85 watt charger for my 15" mac book pro

    the 15" came with a 60 watt charger - it is okay to use the more powerful charger (that came with a 17" mac book pro) on the smaller laptop?

    Here is Apple's official position on use of adapters.

  • Whats good for maintaining the Mac book pro?

    I have a program to clean my PC, is there one for the Mac Book or for the IMac?
    Is one needed?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • How much store credit would I get for my 2006 mac book pro?

    I have a 2006 Macbook pro with 120GB Hard drive space and 2gb ram.  Would a Apple Store take give credit for it towards a new mac book?  Or is it even worth it?

    Hi M,
    Apple contracts with PowerOn Computing:

    Unless you're willing to take substantially less than it's worth, no, it is not worth it as you'd get far more money for your Mac by selling it yourself.

  • CS4 version for my new Mac Book Pro

    My lap top died so I purchased a Mac Book knowing CS$ would run on the Apple.  I paid for the licence butr only have the Windows version. Help?

    Unfortunately, you may need to buy into a newer version.  in the past you could only trade platforms for newest versions of packages such as the Creative Suites.  I am not sure how that works now the the Creative Cloud is the new kid on the block.  They are still selling CS6 versions but that might be the last CS, and more bad news there is that CS4 no longer qualifies for upgrading to CS6 as of this past January.

  • Can anyone recommend a case/bag for a 17-inch Macbook Pro?

    I just received my 17-inch Macbook Pro (the latest model) last week and I am now looking for a carry case or bag big enough to fit it in.
    The case/bag must have/be:
    Waterproof.
    In a style for men.
    Have an over the shoulder strap (or hooks for one).
    No indication that the bag contains a Macbook Pro (which would be an advertisement for thieves).
    A pocket big enough for at least the charger.
    Available at a UK based store/website.
    Thanks in advance!

    Picked up my bag shortly after I purchased a 17" MacBook Pro.  
    Swissgear Ibex.  Quite literally one of the best made laptop bags I have ever seen, truly reflects quality with eas of use, price wise a little on the high end, but if you intend to move around with a £2500 macbook, this really is a great option.   Slightly bigger than just a laptop / charger, but with empty pockets its really not that big at all.
    --- As I was typing this I checked amazon, price has come down drastically since I bought my bag, now around £50. Bargain.
