The new macbook 2.4 vs old macbook  pro 2.33

hello,
I would like to know which is (over all) a more powerful computer the new macbook 2.4(4GB ram) or the all macbook pro 2.33(4GB ram 3 GB usable). I really dont care for the weight and the screen power. I just want to buy the best computer performance for the same price.
thank you for the advice.

Hi,
I too wanted to know the same answer. I decided to purchase the new macbook 2.4 4gb RAM and compare to my old MBP 2.33ghz 4gb RAM.
Overall the new macbook opened things slightly faster but there was not too much difference. I do alot of basic 3D work, specifically in MAYA and the new macbook rendered faster everytime.
The only thing i did notice was that the scene lagged slightly in the viewport on the new macbook compared to the old mbp.
Not really noticable to the naked eye, but u could tell when you put the 2 notebooks together.
My conclusion is that the 2 notebooks are very similar. I would make my descision based on whether you want a glossy screen or not. For me the glossyness is really annoying but i wanted a more portable device that i could plug into my 23 cinema display at work.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?

    I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Can I use my old Macbook Pro Ram in the New Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    I have 2, 2 gig DDR2 sticks of ram in my macbook pro. I wanted to know if they would work in the new macbook pro (late 2008)? I know the new one uses DDR3 - What would be the downside of using DDR2 in a DDR3 macbook? Would the graphics cards work to their potential? Thanks!

    No. The DDR2 RAM in your older computer is not the same as the DDR3 RAM used in the new ones. There are significant differences between them not the least of which is pin count.

  • Can I upgrade to the new MacBook Pro from PowerBook copying the hard disk?

    I have a Power Book G4 17", now I'm going to buy a new MacBook pro 17" and want to transfer the same software (I mean the whole content of my actual HD) to the new MacBook Pro using SuperDuper!
    I want to know if the Intel based MacBook Pro can run the same operating system configured in the PowerBook or I must install first the Mac OSX on the new MacBook pro and then reinstalla manually all the applications/documents?

    PowerBook G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Marcello,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    No to both of your questions:
    No, you cannot clone the PPC hard disk to a new Intel disk. The systems are completely different.
    No, you don't have to reinstall all your software manually.
    You have to install Tiger from the install DVD that shipped with that MacBook Pro. You CANNOT use any other install disk, so take care you don't damage it! Once this is done you can transfer all your data, applications and settings from the old computer using the migration assistant in /Applications/Utilities.
    Be aware that there might be problems with applications that are not universal binaries and require Rosetta emulation: Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated.
    If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

  • There is no line in audio on the new Macbook Pro ?

    Hi,
    I just got my new Macbook pro (Retina with 16gb). I'm surprised because i don't see the option for adjust in/out audio ? There is no line audio in on the new macbook pro ?
    Thanks

    To the best of my understanding from reading many posts on here, the best answers I can come up with to your questions are as follows:
    Verizon is supposed to be upgrading its signal format for several of its HD channels that will prevent your old box from decoding them. This is why they are upgrading you to a new box. As for the 7100-P2, Verizon was attempting to make a smaller, more sleek-looking and energy efficient STB. While I could be wrong about this next statement, I believe that this model could also be set either flat or on-end (like a book). If you set this box on-end then the clock display would have been very hard to read. There is no software update that can fix this issue because there is no LCD display on the front of the box to display the numbers. And yes, there are complaints all over these forums regarding the lack of clock display on this model. It would have served Verizon well to have consulted with its customers before making this change.
    There are 2 other models of HD STB that can receive the new signal and have a front-panel clock display. But unless you have a Verizon FiOS store nearby that would be willing to let you swap for one of those, requesting another exchange for your functional 7100-P2 may or may not be free. And you could just end up with another 7100-P2.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apogee Duet One with the new MacBook Pro?

    Can I still use my old Duet with the new Macbook Pro?  I know the Firewire 400 is gone.  is there a workaround?
    Thanks

    You would need a FireWire 400-800 adapter, and (with the Retina Display model) a Thunderbolt-FireWire adapter.

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013) supports 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport?

    I understand that the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013 with Nvidia) supports 4K screen resolutions via HDMI at low hertz. But does it support 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport? I read on Intel's web that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB memory in theory can support it. Would be important as a range of new 4K 32" monitors will come out over the next year. Would be great for photo, video editing etc.

    I also am very confused by this because per apple's support page it only supports 4K via HDMI at 30Hz but SHOULD support 60Hz via a mini display port 1.2 specification built into thunderbolt 2.
    However, I think it does include 60Hz support (although not mentioned on apple's website).  My evidence of this is that on the ifixit teardown they found a an Intel DSL 5520 Thunderbolt 2 controller which according to Intel's and Wikipedia's website is falcon ridge which means it should support Display port 1.2 natively.  Plus, on apple's thunderbolt page they specifically mention connecting a 4K display to a macbook pro through the thunderbolt port (not which is suggested by the support page listed above):
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Also, the Apple mini displayport support page has not been updated since 2012 but I believe it is just showing old information
    The BIG piece of evidence against the new macbook pro's supporting 4K through the thunderbolt port is that on apple's tech specs page they specifically mention 4K under the HDMI section but make no mention of it under the thunderbolt 2 section.

  • Does a Lion Disk Come With The New Macbook Pros?

    I recently ordered a new mbp, and am planning on swapping the hdd for an intel ssd.  Do the new macbook pros that come with lion pre-installed also include a lion install dvd like the old laptops do, or will I need to download lion from the app store and burn it to a disk to install it on my new ssd?

    OS X Lion is not being included as an install DVD with new Macs. (It does come pre-installed.) Apple is offering a $69 USB stick with Lion pre-installed for owners would like to own a solid state means of recovery. Lion is strictly internet based with its recovery features - in other words - Macs will need to be able to connect to the internet to restore a computer with HDD failure (or some other issue where you need to restore the system.)

  • Does the new MacBook pro 13" has asymmetrical fans (that the 15" with Retina) has?

    The new MacBook Pro with retina display has more silent fans due to asymmetrical  fans. My question is, if this change has been applied to MacBook Pro 13" & 15" versions.
    Thanks.

    No it does not.....
    The only Mac with the assymetrical blades is the 15" retina MBP.
    And they are pretty darn effective(I can never hear the fans unless I open p something extremely power consuming and still they aern't as loud as my old Windows PC).
    Mind you the MacBook can get a little uncomfortable if you keep the base in contact with your skin. Otherwise the fans are excellent..

  • How do I install software from a disc on to the new Macbook Pro?

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • What configuration of the new macbook pro do I need to run FCS 3 without choppy playback.

    Yep, just wondering what configuration of the new macbook pro do I need to run FCS 3 without choppy playback or lagging.  I'm thinking about the 7200rpm, 2.2ghz, antiglare, 4gb ram, with 1gb GPU graphics card configuration

    Nothing wrong with the computer. Playback is dependent on the media and the drives.
