How long it will last? Predicting the future is a neat trick. If I could do it, I'd be responding to this post from a mansion, instead of an apartment.
Sound quality on ALL laptops is poor. If you're serious about sound, you buy speakers.
Still undecided? Flip a coin, bro. You're thinking too hard.
I'm fairly certain he's connecting to external equipment, so he's probably asking about the quality of the onboard sound card when used for "line out" purposes.
That said, onboard sound tends to be crappy in general, so I would strongly reccommend an external USB interface.
As to Sony vs. Asus - Sony has a bad habit of using oddball proprietary parts and technologies specific to Sony. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sony unit has a built-in Memory Stick reader instead of an SD/SDHC reader. (I haven't looked at the detailed specs.) I am, in general, not a fan of Sony and avoid buying Sony products whenever possible.

If you want to have a bigger screen, watch videos, and use Bluetooth without a dongle get the 7th Generation.

Which iPad should I get? (iPad gen 3 vs mini)

Hi all, I've been saving up for an iPad for a while and am now considering which one to get. My first choice was the 32GB wifi/3G mini ($829NZD), but a refurbished gen 3 iPad with the same GB and connectivity specs ($715NZD) is slightly better for my budget... So now I'm a bit torn and need your help! Is the mini's size really worth $114 more? Its primary purposes would be PDF annotation and reading (most of my classes at my level and degree are shifting away from using textbooks and giving us PDF format, independent readings) as well as note taking in class with an attachable keyboard. I would also probably do some VERY light word processing on it, and plan to use it as an e-reader for books and comics, as well as the regular stuff like email and social networking. With those uses in mind, which would you recommend for me? Also, I don't mind that much about having the super latest model or not - as long as it will still support iOS updates for the next few years, which is one of my concerns about getting the 3rd gen iPad. Thanks in advance!

Which laptop should I buy that would run AE better?

I'm debating between two HP laptops. I like the one better due to it's smaller size and higher resolution, but i'm a little worried that the i5 won't handle as well as I'd like.
The one i think I want to buy: http://www.amazon.com/HP-dm4-3090se-14-0-Inch-Screen-Laptop/dp/B006OEL9GU
PROS: 1600 x 900 resolution, no dedicated graphics card = good battery life, 32GB SSD Drive, light weight + portable
However, would I be better off getting http://www.amazon.com/Hewlett-Packard-BrightView-Fingerprint-SuperMulti/dp/B004S4DVTQ/ref= sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331255057&sr=1-3 with the i7 processor and dedicated graphics? Downside is the resolution for the 15.6 inch screen is 1366 x 768, which would be really annoying to work with, correct?
Keep in mind, I plan on upgrading either of the laptops to 8GB RAM anyway, seeing as a stick of 4GB is like $20 on newegg. Would the i5 really be a killer in my performance? the first laptop also has a 32GB SSD, used mainly for OS and cache, i'm not sure if it would even be noticed by AE. If I went with somethign else, i'd purchase a mommentus XT (Solid state hybrid drive) anyway.
If any of you guys have any better suggestions for an ideal, travel friendly (I'd bring it to college classes + trips) AE-powered laptop for less than $1000, do share. I've spent a good couple hours trying to find the best investment.
Thanks a ton!

You need a dedicated graphics card and soon-ish you will need it even more... Those intel graphics are simply useless and too much trouble. That doesn't mean you should go with the secohnd machine, though. The system specs for the screen res do not even qualify to install, if I'm not mistaken... The processor is a non-issue. Even an i3 will be reasonably fast enough for many tasks and with so little RAM you won't be able to use MP rendering, anyway. Do a little more research and find a different model.

Which computer should I get?

Hello,
I'm setting up to make my first independent movie, and I'm planning on using an Apple instead of a PC. So, my question is -- because I'm new to the Apple World -- should I go with a MacBook Pro or a G5?
Also, I'm using the Panasonic HVX-200.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I was in pretty much the same spot as you are right now 18months ago, and I got loads of good advice on this forum. Hope you'll be just as lucky. So here's the little I can offer you:
yes, I'd definitely get more RAM, OSX tends to run a lot smoother when you don't starve it of RAM. On the G5s I'm working on, I've got 4.5GB each, which works great. Maybe you'd need less, if you're only editing on your Macs, but as soon as you have After Effects or Photoshop or DVD Studio, for example, open at the same time as Final Cut, you will certainly enjoy the fact that you've got more RAM.
I don't know what format you will be shooting and editing on, but bear in mind that while Final Cut takes all sorts of material (DV/SD/HD), you have at your disposal only the firewire port to get the stuff into your system and onto your harddrives. If you plan on using DigiBeta tapes, for example, you would then need a capture card to be able to capture the material and work with it.
In addition to that, you will need additional harddrives. Which is easy if you buy the G5 (and the QuadG5s are veeeeery powerful indeed.....), simply get an additional HD, which will work nicely with DV stuff and even on a simple level for 8bit SD. At least it did for me. If you go for the MacBook Pro, you will have to buy an external harddrive. One thing the guys on this forum will always tell you is to NEVER EVER use your harddrive where your system and your applications reside as the harddrive where you keep your captured material. Did I say never ever? Oh, I meant NEVER EVER EVER. Did it once, and I learnt my lesson.
And while I'm talking about harddrives, same applies as with the capture cards. For DV material, you don't need a super-fast RAID solution, a firewire HD does the job just as well. If you want to use SD or even HD material, then you need drives that are a lot faster.
Oh, and then you might consider getting a nice mixer, some speakers to monitor your audio, and maybe a tape deck.
Hm, gotta get back to work, hope this helps, let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
Colin

1st g or 2nd g- which one should I get?

I like to know which is better and last longer and wont have much issues
A. 1st g ipod touch
or
B. 2nd genertion ipof touch
I like to know I dont know which one I want, and I like to hear it from a person who know what there talking about and who knows alot about ipod touch
reply back real soon
I need to know

Hi Karchi again,
Well, the 2nd Generation iPod has more functionalities and at the same price! I think you should get the 2nd Generation iPod, for this reasons:
1) Is brand new, had slight redesigns, same price and several new functionalities;
2) It would be difficult to see the previous iPod on sale in stores... Only using eBay or something!
3) Issues are normally related with software and not with hardware. So this means that both iPods will always have the bugs...
Hope this helps!

Which MacBook should I get?

Hi,
I'm deciding to get a MacBook, but I'm not sure which one to get, all I know is that I want one of the 13 inch ones.
I'm going to be use it for things like Skype, Facebook, YouTube, ect... And occasionally go on photoshop, and other program's like that.
I like the MacBook Air because of how thin it is, and that also it has flash storage, meaning it will be quicker to boot up, and load applications, and also will be much quieter than normal laptops. And also that the screen resolution is better that the Pro's.
I like the MacBook Pro because it is I think 2.4 GHz, £99 cheaper than the Air, but I'm not too keen oh how big it is, and that it's not flash storage.
What do you think would be better for me? And why?
Also just to let you know I'm 16 and in school.
Thanks :)

a macbook pro is more powerful and upgrading the ram and hard drive is very easy. You can order a MacBook Pro with a regular hard drive and upgrade to flash storage at a later date when solid state drives drop in price.

Which one should I get 13inch or 15inch MBP

Hello everyone, I am about to make the switch from pc to a mac and I need help on which mac is best for me. I never had mac before, this is my first time. I am going to college. I will be using in college and using the mac for web surfing, itunes and doing homework.
Do they both 13inch and 15inch get very hot?
I don't know why Im lover with 15 but I am familiar in the differences with the 13 and 15 inch but cannot decide on which is best for me..........Any help or feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

web surfing, itunes and doing homework.
For doing that and being mobile a lot at school, I would go with the 13", or you may even consider a MacBook Air lighter weight.
They all heat up depending upon what you are doing, but just surfing (except watching video) and doing your homework (word processing), any of them should run quite cool.

Which iphone should i get

Ok guys. I'm usually the last to adopt to new technology. I'm just now thinking about getting an iphone. So what should my "iphone lifestyle" look like to warrant getting the 32 GB or 64 GB instead of the 16GB?

It all comes down to what you think you'll want.
I have a 64gb 4S but thats mainly because i like to have and watch alot of content on my phone when im away.
However before i had a 32gb 3GS which was perfectly fine for what i needed.
If im honest i would never recomend the 16gb model, just because so many more apps now are using more memory due to the A5 chip and Retina display therefore you will run out of space fast.
To add to that with the 8MP camera on the 4S the images will be bigger, therefore you wont be able to take as many shots and keep them on your phone for a longer period of time.
Hope this helps.

Which mini should i get?

Im looking to get a mini 10, but have seen 3 versions that are all basically the same with a few small differences, but i dont know which ones i should go for.
The choices are:
HP Mini 210-3025sa - i have only seen this one in PCworld
HP Mini 110-3612sa
HP Mini 210-2201sa
Colour aside which model is the better one to go with? first one is the most expensive but cant see it on the hp site. Im after the dualcore bit hence the n550 and n570. Any advice would be very welcomeCheersD.

110-3612sa has no headphone jack and poor quality mono sound, other than that it is the same as 210-2201sa which has headphone jack and stereo dolby sound output.
210-3025sa has the best specs
here is the order of best to least best
210-3025sa
210--2201sa
110-3612sa
3025 has fastest processor, but specs say it can only have a max memory of 1gb, which should be plenty for starter edition W7, but these specs are sometimes wrong meaning it is upgradeable to 2gb.
2201 has slightly slower processor but says the memory can be upgraded to 2gb if needed, so if this has value to you, go with the 2201 model.

Which Ipad should I get? space?

I want to use an ipad for school. I would use it for notes, annotating on powerpoints, textbooks, apps like facebook and skype and some games, my music would be on my iphone so that no biggy. I dont know how much space I would need if I wanted to get ebooks (textbooks) and download class notes (powerpoints) on there. Also whether or not the ipad 2 or ipad3? Space is my main concern in my decision. Also I would only be using the wifi because I have my iphone.
Let me know what you think! thanks!

Which laptop should I buy?

I am going to a boarding high school... I have a couple old macs and need a new one for school. Ideally about $1500 or less, a little over is okay. I should only use mail, safari, calendar, firstclass, a little photoshop, watch movies, skype, word, itunes, play some games (im not a big gamer, but maybe a little minecraft or something), dropbox, chrome. I'm okay if its a little slow or freezes occasionally, it just has to meet basic needs. Besides that - there is a chance I would install windows 8.
Should I buy an air or a pro? And with which configs? I don't think I want the 11' screen, but if anyone is in a similar situation, screen size reccomendation is helpful. Besides that - anyone reccomend a wireless kayboard, trackpad, or mouse? Maybe one of those thunder display things? Should I buy an apple drive? Basically besides computer adivce, I want accessory advice.
*Note: I know its under macbook discussion, thats because it made me pick a category*

For a savings of 15% to 30% look at the Refurbished Mac page. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac They all come with the full year warranty and you can buy Apple Care for them.
Time Machine will work with any external hard drive. No need to pay the Apple premium.

Which Mac should i get?

I have just started to get into iSO App development. I mostly create websites so I'm thinking about taken that knowledge over to iSO.
Basically I would be making simple light weight apps, no games or anything like that. So my question is which would be the best option for a first time mac buyer to go with?
I been looking at the MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.3 GHz and the MacBook Air 11-inch : 128GB.
I really like the MacBook Air but I want to know if it would be enough to do the things i wish to do.

Hi Armor
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I recall 20 years ago working on projects where build times were measured in minutes and hours! That taught you patience, and also gave plenty of opportunity for thinking and coffee. On any modern computer, it's hard to conceive of a project so large and complex that it will require more than a few seconds to perform a build, which means that you don't really need to consider how powerful is its processor, or how much memory it has, since any reasonable system will perform well.
That means that your choice of options depends upon other factors. I'd avoid the MB Air because of its lack of connectivity, and it has no CD/DVD drive. My own choice of 13" MB works well for development, but from time to time I do wish for a larger screen; however, I find that careful layout of windows using multiple Spaces can ease the situation somewhat. If you go for a larger screen notebook, the computer gets heavier and more unwieldy. A number of my colleagues who opted for 17" MBPs a few years ago have often complained about the weight, and at least one of them has "downsized" to a smaller screen.
