What's the best case for my Macbook Pro Retina? College Student.

I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina and since I will be going to college next year I am looking to protect my laptop. Any suggestions on cases or anything? Thank you!!

I wouldn't bother. The case is a tough, metal shell.
Putting any sort of covering over that is just going to attract dirt, dust and possibly interfere with cooling.

What is the best antivirus for a MacBook Pro Retina Display?

I would like to know what is the current best FREE and PAID antivirus out there the MacBook Pro

If you are running as a admin based users which most people are you should run something. Apple doesn't maintain good patch levels for OS X. Malware threats for mac are growing and even Apple as increased their updates to check daily and automatically install. Just like Microsoft does today by default. This all stems from the 600,000+ Macs infected by FlashBack, 59% of which were in the US. Oracle had patched the flaw in java months before but apple simple didn't do anything about it.
OS X is the buggest software I have ever seen. Lion was just a complete disaster for many enterprise customers and most of those fixes are not being included in Mountain Lion. So pay $29.99 for your OS X that just has all kinds of problems and then pay us $19.99 to get the fixes for Lion in Mountain Lion.
Now they cannot even mass produce Retina displays, they are delayed 4+ weeks, i hear 6+ weeks.
Rush to get things out, poor quality is creeping in.
What I've been dealing with lately is not being unable to netboot varoius models of Macs. We have tested with 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 model macs and all behave differently. The 2008 is the best as it will tftp the booter and kernelcache files in about 20 secons. This is because it uses a block rate of 8192 by default. The 2011 model takes more than 5 minutes to do the samething because some genius set the tftp rate to only use 512 block which kills performance. And there is no way to manually increase this block rate. On top of this all the mac models have a hard coded 5 minute time out. This means that if the booter and kernelcache (phase 1) take longer than 5 min to boot up the entire process fails. This is an issue with the newer models which only allow 512 blocks. Who thinks this stuff up. Really!

What's the best SSD for a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010?

Hello.
I will upgrade my 2010 Macbook Pro. I need to know what's the best SSD for my Macbook Pro. I was thinking about those:
- Kingston SSDNow V+200 (SVP200S37A/120G) - 120 GB
- CRUCIAL SSD M4 128 GB
- CORSAIR SSD Force Series GS 128 GB
- SAMSUNG SSD 840 Series Basic 2.5" - 120 GB (MZ-7TD120BW)
- CRUCIAL SSD interno Crucial v4 - 128 GB
Those are the easiest to find on Portugal.

It is my understanding that SATA III is backwards compatible to SATA II so that should not be an issue for your selection process.
As an aside, you might be interested to know that your MBP can now have 16 GB RAM installed.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible. An outstanding source of information is OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

What's the best case for a Macbook Air for someone who *may* drop the laptop?

I see all the forums here about cases for Macbook Air, but most people seem more worried about scratches. I am looking for the lightest case that might actually protect the Air in a fall. Any ideas?
BTW I have been a long time PC laptop user which seem to be a bit more rugged (and thus heavy). I have dropped my PC laptop in the past without any damage. I've bought the Macbook Air 13 which arrives this week. I don't mind adding a little weight to the laptop to protect it in a fall...

I am also clumsy but I find Apple products exceptionally tough.
I dropped my MacBook Air with no case or anything onto concrete from like 1 meter and this is all that happened
I also dropped my iPad from a table onto the same floor and when I saw it face down I was dreading having to pick it up...it was fine however with not a mark in sight
Yes this is just the experience of 1 person however I think people are too cautious nowdays
Remember the things you read on here "I dropped my macbook and the screen shattered please help" are probably the minority - if someone dropped it and it was fine they wouldn't post here so you are getting a false sense that everyone who drops their machine ends up bad!

What's the best display for a MacBook Pro?

Hello Folks
I'm a new Mac user. I bought a MacBook pro 15" retina display this summer as I'm studying for an Illustration degree and will be using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. From being in class at uni, I've realised that there's a major benefit to having a large display to work on. However, as I am new to all this, I've not got the foggiest idea what to get (assuming I can afford it). Any advice/information would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Alli

I'm like you, I like to keep my devices in mint condition as long as possible. Would you consider getting a sleeve for it, or does it have to be a case? I have this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA174ZM/A/incase-15-neoprene-pro-sleeve-for-ma cbook-pro?fnode=50

What is the best way to clean macbook pro retina 15?

i know that there is some special products like iKlear, but i am in Macedonia... and i dont have time to wait the product ... is there some rules while cleaning your macbook retina 15 inch (like using vacuum cleaner for keyboard and openings form bottom and ports,... ) ?

none of what you mentioned - use a damp micro fibre cloth to wipe your macbook retina.
make sure it's damp and not wet.
using a wet cloth can cause some drips between the keys that might create an issue - so make sure it's just damp.

What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?

What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?
I have a new Air and want to protect it from scratches and such.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't like "skins". They inhibit the heat transfer necessary to keep your MBA cool. Get a soft or hard case to store it when not in use. I like Speck products.
Just take care of it. Battle scars make it uniquely yours.

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model?

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger. A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).
