Which laptop is best for me?

I will be doing 'normal' stuff with it when I get it.
I'll probably be doing some photo editing, but it will mainly be for school.
Would the MacBook be better or the MacBook Pro. Please don't answer by stating if I have the $$ go for the pro.
I just want to know which would be better for the 'average' user

I really hate to bring up something that you specifically asked us not to bring up... +*Please don't answer by stating if I have the $$ go for the pro.*+
The MacBook is a great machine for general use. However, if you are going to be using it for school, are you taking into consideration they types of things you may need it for in a year or two from now? If you don't expect your needs to change, then you should be fine with the MacBook. If you think you might move from photo editing into video editing or other 3D type applications, you might find the Pro to be a better choice. It's important to consider what your uses will be during the lifetime of the notebook... not just today. If you find a year from now that the MacBook won't cut it... and you have to get something more powerful, it ends up costing you more in the long run. I'm not saying the MacBook won't suit your needs... just that you should be sure (or have a reasonable estimate) of what your needs may be a year or two from now.

Which laptop is best for my twelve year old daughter?

My daughter wants a Mac laptop. She is just going to use it for shopping and writing the occassional paper on it. I don't want to purchase any unnecesary features. Which one would work best? She isn't going to watch anything more indepth than youtube videos, so I don't think she needs the retina display and she wants a 13 inch screen, so she can easily take it with her.

Easy answer, the base model Macbook Air I5 with 4gig of RAM
$1099

Which macbook is best for automobile student?

I am taking automobile engineering course & I need a laptop.. Please give me a right suggestion!
Which macbook is best for automobile student?

Any of the new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro models will do. Check their features at Apple.com > Mac. The Air and Pro models are now very close to each other with the Air a little less expensive and a little lighter (3 vs. 3.5 lbs.). I would purchase 8 GB of RAM no matter which machine you buy.
The question is how much permanent (SSD) storage do you need? 128 GB, 256 GB, more? You need to decide this up front and you cannot increase it once it is delivered so choose carefully. How much storage do you use on a current Mac or PC? How much additional storage do you plan to use?
If you undersize the SSD storage all is not lost. You can offload seldom-used data onto an external hard drive. However it is easier to manage the storage if it all fits on your system drive.
Also check out refurbished Macs at http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals. These come with the standard Apple one year warranty.

Have started to shoot with a Canon 7D and now needs a good laptop. Which Macbook is best for video editing in HD? Must have a laptop because I travel a lot. Also want to use Final Cut Studio. This whole Mac bite is new to me ... used the PC before.

Well, for starters, you're going to be transcoding all the files that come out of your 7D to ProRes, which means you'll need a beefy external drive, which means you'll want a FireWire 800 port, which automatically disqualifies the regular Macbook. To decide which Macbook Pro you want, I'd use this chart:
http://store.apple.com/us/tab?node=home/shopmac/family/macbook_pro&tcid=tgtabcontroller&tab=2
...and weigh your own needs against it. All of them will run FCP. If you're interested in Color and Motion as well, the lowest end 13" model may not be the best choice.

Which laptop to get for these needs...

Hi all,
I'm aware that there are many posts on which laptop is best suited for Logic, or which will work with Logic, etc, but I thought posting my own may get me better results, as the comments will be directly related to my needs, which I'll set out below:
* Currently away from home/main system due to work, and probably won't be able to use it for another 6 months at least.
* Current laptop (2006 MacBook) is beginning to bail on me, and many Logic projects are freezing up.
* I don't require a massive spec laptop, as a) I will hopefully eventually get my main machine down with me, so the new laptop will not always be my primary machine. Furthermore when I am reunited with main machine, the laptop will become an 'on the road' machine for projects etc.
That gives you an idea. The model I was thinking of getting was the 13" 2.7 MacBook Pro. I've been told that Logic will run on this pretty well (much better than my current laptop anyway), when using a fair few heavy plugins (Waves stuff), and also using Kontakt w/ fair amounts of instruments.
Question is, while the lower end 15" will obviously be faster, I don't really need the bigger screen, and I don't want to unnecessarily buy a machine that I'll never use to its full potential, hense why I'm verging towards the higher spec 13".
Obviously this totally depends on exactly what projects I am using, so it's probably quite hard for anyone to advise, but has anyone had experience using Logic w/ the new 13"? And not just for small projects, but for slightly larger ones too?
Many thanks!

For anyone thinking along similar lines, I went for the 13" 2.7GHz i7 and it runs like a dream for all mentioned tasks above. Great stuff!

Which browser is best for macbook pro?

Which browser is best for macbook pro.
I have used Safari for a couple of years but have been told recently that I would be better switching to Chrome

The best browser for you depends on your specific needs; as you can install multiple browsers without them interfering with each other, download Firefox, Chrome, and any others you'd like to try out, and pick the one which works best for you.

Which book is best for learning Lightroom 5 for a complete beginner?

I'm an Aperture user and as everyone has heard the news, a lot of us are considering switching over. I went through the Apple pro-training aperture, logic, and FCP books and loved the format of those. I've been reviewing my options for LR5 books on Amazon and I see a couple, Kelby, Evening, and The Adobe Classroom in a book. I kind of like the classroom in a book format as it resembles the Apple book's format. Which book is best for learning LR5, from a complete beginner's perspective?

I would avoid Kelby like the plague. I didn't like his book, I felt his chapters on the Library module were effectively useless and off the mark.
I would start with the free e-book Lightroom 5 - Free Quick Start Guide PDF eBook | The Lightroom Queen
I would also watch some videos at Products | Lightroom | Adobe TV

Which headset work best for iPad Air

Which headset work best for iPad Air

This can be highly subjective. I would pick a few models that you think you'd like, then read the reviews at the Apple Store link that Diavonex directed you to. Also read the reviews on Amazon.com as well to get a feel for a few models and what kind of sound they can produce.
Back to the "subjective" aspect I mentioned...when the Apple Ear Pods were released (they now come standard with all new iPhones), I had an iPhone 4 at the time and had the older headphones (the new Ear Pods were introduced/released with the iPhone 5). I heard great things about them and almost purchased a set when they went on sale as a stand-alone item but I decided not to. When I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 5, I got them included with the new phone. Great, I thought...well, after trying them, I hated them and I still do. They produce way too much bass for my personal taste and sound boomy. I much prefer the older model. It's just personal preference.
Read the reviews and see if they describe how the headphones sound...boomy, tinny, clear, muddy, etc and try to match that to what your preference may be.

Which Mac is best for music purposes? I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in. I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips? 13" or 15"?

Which Mac is best for music purposes? I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in. I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips? 13" or 15"?

I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

*Pls Help* Which macbook is best for me; 13" or 15"?

I have always been anti Apple but after my first iphone (4s) I have decided to get an Iphone 6 and a MacBook Pro. I am an accountancy student, I understand I would have to buy the sage and Microsoft softwares separately for it but apart from doing my accountancy work on it, I would like to use my spare time to make videos to post on YouTube, make DJ mixes using Traktor, make beats on it using Fruity Loops, record songs and manage some online business such as eBay - these that I have just listed are my main priorities on the macbook. I would of course watch videos and play games on it too but not so much. So mainly for education and media purposes for a starter which would be best for myself? The 13" retina or the 15" retina? My friend is a professional DJ and advised me that he does all his DJing on his 13" macbook, he thinks the 15" isnt necessary and is a waste of money. Can someone please help me in making this decision?
Many Thanks!!
Sujon Miah

It depends on what you really want. Personally I have the 13 inch. But the nice thing about the 15 inch is it has two speakers. If the size really doesn't matter then I would say go with the 13 inch because its more cost effective

I remember that we had installed oracle10g on my friends AMD desktop....and that had killed the performance like crazy.It must have something to do with the configuration of instance. I have at least two desktops running AMD and it works perfectly fine.

The laptop i m buying is *250 GB HDD, 2 GB RAM and windows vista*.As Nicolas has rightly pointed out in his post, which version of Vista is this? Remember that Vista Home edition is not supported by Oracle. You might get the things to run but you cannot guarantee the stability.
The only thing i m confused bout is whther i shud go for AMD or Inter core processor.
In this case, this would be a matter of personal choice. Both processors are at par with each other (now I am not going into the details of architecture and other things).
