Macbook pro without retina display heats up more.
The New retina models have the a-symetrical fans which allows quieter noise and runs cooler

  • I am interested in buying a macbook laptop. I am confused however in which one I should buy for the type of work that I will be doing. I either am looking into getting a macbook pro or the macbook air. I am leaning more towards the air.

    A basic MBA will be more than adequate.  Take into consideration that storage may be a long term issue unless you are not averse to traveling with an external HDD.

    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

  • I want to buy a mac and i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy

    actually i am new to mac so i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy? i will be installing windows 2 on it..

    An MBA is a portable while an iMac is a desktop and is not portable. You could install Windows on either provided each had sufficient memory installed and a large enough hard drive. The iMac is better equipped for this from the outset, but the MBA can be adequately configured if you are willing to spend the money to do so.

    In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
    Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
    RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
    iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
    The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

  • Which One Would You Buy?

    Hello to All - My brother already has a 240GB Crucial M500 installed in one laptop, and now he wants to buy a new Crucial SSD around 250GB in size for another machine. He wanted to buy another M500, but they're no longer available, and he isn't too sure which one to choose from the current models. Given the choice, and regardless of price, would you choose the BX100, the MX100, or the MX200?

    Thanks for your quick responses, and the link to the article on anandtech.com in particular.   ***Edited to remove Crucial competitor***

  • T7700 vs. P7800... which one should I buy???

    I read in an old thread that one is better for games and the other is better for movies... but I watch movies and play games equally, so which one do you recommend me?

    I personally recommend T7700.
    I mean, yeah, P7800 is a nice set of speakers, but its not as common as T7700. So if you have problems, you'll find less support for it.
    Whereas T7700 is a lot more used than P7800.
    Just my personal opinoin.

    There is no such thing as an Apple hard drive, ...Apples doesnt make same.

    Perfect 1TB for $68

    Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
    Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
    Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

  • Macbook versus ipad? which one should i buy?

    A few days before the ipad announcement I was just about to pull the trigger to buy a macbook. This was so I wouldn't be in my home office for hours after work but could be with the family on the couch catching on web-sites. My wife has her macbook and is in our den with the kids after normal work hours. Aside from my ipod touch, I have no way to check the news/sites I like except in the home office.
    I was just about to purchase the macbook but I'm wondering if the ipad is a suitable alternative? I'm a gadget junkie but I don't really want to buy both. But I wonder if that ipad would really be good for say reading the wall street journal, shopping on amazon, etc. I know it's not out yet but I thought maybe someone has seen the samples or has thoughts about similar devices.
    Also, will it work off my home wi-fi network or is signing up for ATT optional?
    Thanks.

    Be advised tho that - as I understood the announcements - iPad doesn't handle Flash, used by many web sites, just like your iPod Touch.
    I think the iPad is a stunning device, but it's not the equivalent of a MacBook, and both have their own strengths. I think you'll find the iPad to be essentially a large iTouch, which in my thinking doesn't really extend your capabilities, except for the screen size. You need to think carefully about what your real uses might be (and how difficult it will be to get the iPad away from your wife and kids ).
    Have you considered an MacBook Air? - much closer to the iPad size and weight with full laptop functionality.
    Good luck with that choice!

  • I want to buy a new macbook which one should I buy?

    I want to use it for editing he needs to be fast enough and the rendering can't take too long.
    I'm planning to use the macbook for programs like avid, after effects, premiere ext.
    I have been told that I should buy the most expensive 15 inch model because it has a separate graphic card.

    Yes that is indeed the case if you are going to be using those resource hungry applications.

  • Need external monitor for better visibility.  Which ones are compatible with  MacBook Pro?, Need external monitor for better visibility.  Which ones are compatible with  MacBook Pro?

    I need to set up a home office using my MacBook Pro.  Does anyone know of brands of flat-screen monitors that I can plug into my  laptop in order to enlarge documents for better visibiilty?  I have 2 perfectly good flat screen monitors that work with Windows but they have no drivers compatible with Apple products.
    Thanks.

    Apple has a 27" monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution.  It has everything going for it but it has a price of $999 (ouch).  Check with OWC, they specialize in Apple peripherals, have decent prices and a good reputation.
