Which powerbook should I buy??
I am feeling compelled to buy a brand new powerbook 12 incher .... according to the cards money is coming my way and if it does I'm thinking of spending it on getting my iMac 400mhz machine repaired because it has that horrid CRT display condition that feels like it could set off a sudden brain seizure when trying to work in the tiny 3 inch high window that I have to use...like right now. Folks have advised buying a new machine...i'm tempted...but i want to get this one fixed so that i can still use my os 9.2 system for some things that i need and will not work in classic mode. I figured that if i get my dream machine powerbook laptop then i can create a network with my iMac and use the iMac as a harddrive and use as a stereo...etc. etc.
I was just looking at the powerbook specs in the apple store and i'm confused.
I would like a 12 inch because it is the most portable...i fancy seeing myself with my trusty laptop, digital camera and tour tickets for england someday. 12 inches isn't so cumbersome and heavy (I have a bad back...heavy matters)...
I want to get it customized to the max...it will have to be my laptop for almost life, because i'll never be able to afford another one.
another reason for the laptop is that the physical apple store nearest me is 64 miles away and just a big pain in the wahzoo to get it there and back when the iMac needs to be repaired (like now). A laptop I could ship without a big headache and worry. I've shipped my iMac for repair before but it was megastress.
So, which 12 inch should I get? Combo drive or super drive? What kind of problems are you suffering with your laptop? Would you buy the same computer again if you had the chance? What kind of software comes preinstalled on it? Sell me. I need your advice. It's too expensive of an item to walk into a store and buy cold.
I have the 12 inch superdrive...I LOVE IT!! I have had no problem doing what I do on it...the heaviest application I use is Garageband...and I have had no problems...
the new powerbooks include a plethora of software...little gadgets here and there that are pretty cool...my absolute favorite feature of any computing machine I have ever ever ever used has to be SPOTLIGHT!!! once you use spotlight, you'll never be the same especially if you have to use a windows machine........but I strongly advise the powerbook 12 inch superdrive...just for simple fact that if you don't burn dvds now, you may in the future and that drive will be handy to already have when you need it...plus you get 20 extra gigs of storage with the SD model...my wife and I got our powerbooks on the same day, same model everything...these were our first Macintosh computers and we could not have been happier...my wife expressed it as kin to being 'Saved'...haha.....and I absolutely love it...and to answer your question, yes i would absolutely buy the same machine again...i am now a rabid macfan

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!
Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

Hello~
I want to buy a desktop PC or an All-in-one PC recently, but I don't know which one should I buy?
I have a monitor and keyboard+mouse, maybe Nightblade B85 or Z97 is suitable for me, but is it have wireless network?
According to that, I consider maybe All-in-one PC is more convenient, but I love to play World Warcraft and Diablo III, is it can support to play these games?Quote

both has WiFi:

Z97 is the better option if the extra $$ is not issue for you.
Else:

I want to buy an ipad for someone that lives in Brazil. Which carrier should i buy so that it will work with the carriers in Brazil?
Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

Good day!
Instead of buying right away you may want to avail yourself of the free 30 day trial first to see which program fits your needs.
Photoshop and Photoshop Elements may be worth a try.
If you intend to create more graphic/typographic designs Illustrator may be worth looking into, too.
Someone else may have more/other recommendations, though.

I have a macbook 2006 its hard drive was not working anymore so i install a new 500GB hard drive but now i just need the software. Which one should i buy?
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 -
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.

Upgrading från Final Cut Studio 5.1 retail - which upgrade should I buy?
Some year ago I opted for the fulfil upgrade to the cross-platform version.
Now I have the package Final Cut Studio 5.1 retail, with serial numbers. It has DVDSP4, FCP, Motion, LiveType, SoundTrack Pro, etc.
There are two different upgrade packages to Final Cut Studio 2.
One costs 499, the other 699. Which one should I buy?Yeah, I thought so too. But better safe than sorry and ask here first.
Thank you! -

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. -
I have a 15 inch mid-2009 mbp and am interested in purchasing and installing a ssd and currently im debating between a ocz vertex 3 and agility 3 or even another option if suggested one. So if anyone has experience using either of these or even both please give me your opinion on which i should buy.
Yes. I highly recommend the 3G models from OWC. Called the Mercury Electra.

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.
