In my opinion, no. It's not worth it. I tested it in my office and I don't see the need to pay for that kind of price.

  • For the 2012 Macbook Pro 13" should I get the 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 or the 2.9GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7?

    I am a high school student and I am getting my first Macbook Pro. I am not really sure which 13 inch Macbook Pro model I should get. My budget is kind of tight, but I think that I can afford any one of the models but I dont want to spend any money that I dont have to spend. Usually on a day to day basis, I use the web brower, watch movies that I have downloaded, and write a lot of papers. I also sometimes use Photoshop, and while I do not play a lot of games, I do want to have the option if I decide to later when I go to college. The larger hard drive size on the Core i7 model does not really matter to me because I dont plan using more than 500GB. I will be upgrading the ram to 8GB if I get the Core i5 model and it comes standard on the i7. Also, I need this computer to last me for 3-4 years so I want something that will still seem relatively fast a few years down the road. Lastly, while I would prefer getting the Macbook Pro due to its cheaper price and ability to upgrade the hard drive later, I also am considering the Macbook Air Core i7 model, mainly because of the faster ssd and the higher resolution screen. I dont really use the optical drive, so loosing it would not be a big deal. The same goes with the Firewire port or the Ethernet port. What would you guys suggest I get. A Macbook Pro or a Air and if the Pro, should I get the Core i5 or the i7?
    Thanks

    If you're planning on keeping it for long term.
    Go with the i7 2.9GHz.
    It's a $300 difference but with that you get; the RAM, Hard Drive and Processor upgrade.
    Since you want it to last before you decide to either upgrade or buy a new one.  The i7 2.9GHz is a good choice.
    Do remember that Mountain Lion is around the corner and other software get's updated to and wants more CPU power and more memory.
    Nothing is wrong with the i5 2.5GHz either.  You'll just have to upgrade the RAM sooner in case 4GB isn't enough for you.
    Put it this way:
    i5 2.5GHz has 3MB L3 Cache Memory
    i7 2.9GHz has 4MB L3 Cache Memory
    Now, you're also thinking about the MB Air, a very nice notebook which is light, portable and has a better resolution than the MB Pro 13 inch.  You have to however, keep in mnd that the RAM and Hard Drive in the MB Air is not user upgradeable and has no optical drive.

  • How should we get the out put file-name same as in put file-name in file to

    Hi frnds,
    having hundreds of files in the sender system with different names, how should we get the out put file-name  in the receiver system same as the in put file-name in file to file scenario ?
    Thanks in advance.
    truly,
    snrvakiti.

    Hi,
    In Receiver File Adapter you can set under 'Adapter-Specific Message Properties'
    check Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties
    check Fail on Missing Adapter Message Properties
    Check File Name
    Have a look at this link,  [File_to_File|http://allsapnetweavernotes.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-can-i-access-filename-from-fileftp.html]

    To what format file are you saving from Audacity?  Although technically AIFF format can save data tags within the file itself I have not found this to always work with all applications.  Likely the information you enter into Audacity is just being saved in the file name.  When you add this file to iTunes, if iTunes cannot find tags it recognizes it will simply add the track with the file name as the track name.  You need to add the tracks to iTunes, then enter the information using File > Get Info for a track or series of tracks,
    Some of the above information may vary slightly depending upon the file format being used.
    It helps when asking questions here to provide as much information at the onset as possible.  We didn't know until this stage that all these menus were in fact part of Audacity and not iTunes.

  • Should I get the new MacBook?

    I have a Mac OS X 2.5GHz 2 GB w/ version 10.5.8.  Can this MacBook Pro handle the upgrade to Mountain Lion or should I get the new MacBook Pro

    In addition I'm sure you are aware that any PPC applications you have will not work and that many of your third party applications my need to be upgraded.

  • In platform transition: should I get the Mac or PC version?

    I am currently working off of a PC, but will be buying a Mac next year May or so.  So ultimately I want a Mac-compatible version of Adobe Creative Suite, but need to work with something on my PC for the next few months.  Should I get the PC version now, and then just continue using that version on the Mac via Bootcamp, Fusion, Parallels, etc.?  Or is there a way where I could get the PC version now and switch to a Mac-compatible version in May? 
    And is it even preferrable to have the Mac-based version over the PC-version when I do buy a Mac?
    I am planning on using the CS for front-end web development (wireframing in Illustrator / Photoshop) and some marketing collateral. 
    Any comments or suggestions would be great. 
    Thank you!

    The simplest way of accomplishing what you want to do is via a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud which covers usage on both platforms. For example, download and install on your Windows system now. If you go with a Macintosh later on, simply download and install on the Macintosh. You get two activations and unless you decide to decommission the Windows system, you don't even need to deactivate on the Windows system. Obviously, if you discontinue use of the Windows system, you should deactivate on that system. The subscription also will get you the latest version of the software as it is released without subsequent upgrade costs.

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Should I Get the Iphone 3g

    I have been looking at getting the Iphone 3g over the past couple of weeks. What I really want is an unbiased opinion. I know it may have some trouble with 3G. And I know it may have a few minor software gliches(which I am pretty sure Apple will fix).
    Also which should I get the 16gb or the 8gb version.
    Thanks

    A lot of "depends" type questions...
    personally, I say yes. Ultimately depends on how you wish to use the phone?
    3G: Call AT&T Customer Svc and have them verify the level of 3G network support in your local area, or your frequented business or otherwise travel locations are. Just because they show you being in "blue" 3G zone, doesn't mean your signal strength will be as strong as another "blue" area 4-miles away. My 3G signal vacillates from No Svc to two bars from minute to minute standing in the same spot. The more users on 3G network will slow your download speed.
    BATTERY: No complaints here based on my regulated use of 3G, PUSH; Locate Me; Wi-Fi usage; send and receive emails/SMS messages, GPS and internet access. First 24-hours I owned the field I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with all the features and I ended up with 19-hours battery time. Since then I avg 24- 48 hours before recharging.
    My Personal usage: I use my 3G as a "tool", only using features as required. I work a lot from my home office; therefore, don't require PUSH for email/SMS since I have my laptop and local ISP for internet and email access. Being at home and when traveling in the local area I "know where I am for the most part" so GPS is not required. Having my business phone there, most of my calls are on it and not my iPhone unless I receive a call from a colleague or family member on my iPhone. I do leave my BlueTooth turned on at least 8-hours a day even in my home office. I turn PUSH on when I am expecting important emails from clients or colleagues when away from my home office which is at least 1-hr per day... when I am not expecting anything of importance and away from my office, I leave it on FETCH at 15-30 min intervals since there is nothing that important that can't wait and if it is, they can call me to get my attention. I use my camera on occasion (twice in two weeks I think... and have rare needs for video capabilities). Sending pix via SMS or txt can be convenient at times, but depends on the priority and urgency you put into sending this to someone who may not even have their wireless device turned on or close by? I also have not experienced the same concerns as others on this Discussion site.. but their user scenarios may significantly differ from mine. I don't use Micro Soft Exchange server, nor Mobile Me... since my syncs etc can wait until I get to my MacBook Pro and flip on iTunes. I purchased the 16Gig and glad I did. I do have around 200-tunes on it and maybe keep 2-3 movies on it. I listen to my iTunes a couple hours a day on average and talk time is 2.5 to 3.5 hr's a day. I was at the airport two days ago and jumped on their Wi-Fi to jump on the internet to track a colleagues flight coming in and checking news and had my 3G on PUSH for emails for a couple of hours and barely noticed a drain on my battery. Again, I use it as a tool for those features I need at the time and glad I had my 3G. A guy next to me had his BlackBerry open to the web and he glanced over to see the rich HTML download I had on Flight Aware and commented on how he wished he had the robustness of the 3G. On the flip side, the iPhone isn't perfect when it comes to Business usage on a regular basis. It meets my needs and if I want, I can use my company's MS Exchange server, etc... or even Mobile.Me... I just choose not to at this time. I did come over from Verizon Wireless... and I am not convinced AT&T's network (EDGE or 3G) is as reliable. I have had 4-dropped calls in area's I have never had issues with in 7-yr's with Verizon... but AT&T so far have been very good about credits. If this continues on a regular basis before my 30-days ends, I may have to consider returning to Verizon? 3G is still being rolled-out, so I am hoping its coverage and network tools improve to handle the additional user volume's. I don't care which phone you use on 3G, it will still have the same issues and burn battery life quickly if you choose to live on 3G... surf the net or use GPS to go to local grocery store, etc. It isn't a toy, its a tool to be used when you need it.

  • ? for the experts regarding the HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition (with the new Sandy Bridge CPU's)

    Hello,
    This is a question for the experts.
    The HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition has the following GPU:
    1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 6570 graphics
    Is this GPU GDDR5 or DDR3 in this laptop?  I know someone that purchased one from a MicroCenter and it shows GDDR5 on the packaging (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bravoexo/5298674802/) and in GPU-Z, but I called HP support and they said it was DDR3 (although, HP support told me that GDDR5 didn't exist and that DDR3 in GPU's were the most advanced to this date).
    Please let me know ASAP, as this is a main factor in me purchasing this or not.  I can find other DDR3 gaming laptops out there for less, but if this really IS GDDR5, then I'm sold.

    Thank you both for your questions and answers, I was wondering the exact same thing. I'm ashamed to admit I already began the process of perchasing this computer prior to having all detailed specifications made available.
    I'm upgrading from a 13.3 inch HP laptop called the dv3510nr. It was never intended for enthuiast gaming, but it has exceeded the sum of its parts. It does have dedicated graphics, backlit keyboard, other novelties that make it the best computer I've personally ever owned.
    Few people can say they've managed to run Fallout 3 or Supreme Commander at maximum detail on a 9300M GS. It has 512 MB of DDR2 memory, 4 GB system memory and a 25W P7350 Core 2 Duo processor (2.0 GHz)
    Its served me well but mobility is no longer a priority. I waited until Sandy Bridge was announced and took the plunge immediately. 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 6570 with 1 GB, 1600 x 900 display AND best of all:
    -The i7-2720 quad core processor, (2.2 GHz, up to 3.3 GHz with Turbo Boost)
    --for a total price of just over $1,000 after taxes. With 2 year warranty standard.
    For brand new, bleeding edge technology not yet even widely available, at such a large upgrade margin at an absurdly low price; I didn't need to know anything else.
    So imagine my excitement when I learned this 6570 was in fact based on the old 5770 (the lowest available card with GDDR5 support), not the 5650; and could contain a 1 full GB of the fastest memory technology on the market, GDDR5.
    That would mean virtually no bottlenecks in my system as a whole; I don't have an SSD but truth is, I don't like them anyway. They don't last very long with 'wear leveling', cost too much and only impact synthetic benchmarks.
    My new DV7 can't get here fast enough.
