Worth the price?

I'm looking for a new laptop, and really like apple computers, but can't ignore the fact that the apple macbook pros cost basically double that of laptops by other companies of equivalent specs. Is it really worth it? I can buy 2 HP/Toshiba/Gateway/Compaq/Dell laptops for the price of one apple, and I'm not sure I can justify the price difference. Can anyone make a convincing argument?

Is a MacBook Pro w/ Retina display worth the price?

Apple community-
    Looking at purchasing portability for school- going to work on an MFA in graphics/web/new media, and need some assistance. I've an iMac from 2007, seems to run flawlessly, but looking at options for taking school with me while at work- I'm currently travelling five different states in my current position. The new MacBook Pro with Retina display looks stunning, albeit expensive, but has many features that worry me.
    For instance, everything is completely bolted/soldered/non-upgradeable, so any desire of modification needs to be purchased pre-production, right? Also, the big issue with their PCIe "Flash based" storage... exactly what is this, and why is it so freaking expensive? I've read different reports on Apple using various manufacturers, so not every MacBook as the same storage model, no third party attempts at upgrades, etc.. If I'd like to install numerous, monstrous programs, such as the entire Adobe Creative Suites, 3D Max, Maya, Final Cut, and so forth, I'll need a high capacity memory drive, as I assume most, if not all of these, need a root drive to install, and not simply an external hard drive. I still make CDs/DVDs, so a SuperDrive is another $80.
    Chatting with an Apple representative, she stated that there is "only one model that will run my software at peak performance," which was the 15-inch model, starting at $2k; also, my software needed a "dedicated graphics card," I'm not too certain that it needs all that, and a high-end PC laptop could certainly run all of my demands- but let's face it, this is an Apple discussions community, and I'm plain simply accustomed to working on an Apple computer. Plus, I don't really care for Windows 8.
    Should I possibly aim to purchase an older model used, something without Retina, but with more storage? Is Retina that big of a deal for a laptop? I also considered the possibility of just toting a Mac Mini with a 13-inch Cintiq tablet; though it does need a constant power supply, it's still quite portable.
    Thoughts? Am I just overthinking this? I've been expecting a MacBook to be expensive, but this could be pushing it a bit.
Cheers!

guiparent,
whether it’s worth the price or not is an entirely subjective opinion. My own choice was to buy a used non-Retina 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and replace its hard drive with a SSD; but since I don’t use graphic-intensive apps such as the Adobe Creative Suite, my own choice would most likely not be best for you. Given your graphic design background, if you find the non-Retina displays sufficient for your needs, I’d recommend that you consider a used 15-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. That model has memory sockets, so you can replace/upgrade the RAM if needed; its internal disk can be replaced by/upgraded with any 2.5-inch 9.5-mm-high SATA hard disk or SSD; and it has a built-in SuperDrive.

Is the Apple Universal Dock worth the price?

Hi everyone, I was thinking of buying a Universal Dock. What do you think of it? Is it worth the price tag of € 49? I know that you get a sync cable, USB power adapter and apple remote (which alone have a value of 20+30+20=70) but what are your thoughts?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for your fast answer
True, although one could argue that you can connect an external speaker without the dock, the dock simply looks nicer.
But, you can't control your iPod with the Apple remote without the dock
So.. I guess it's worth the price tag

Worth the price and more

This is a replacement for the older Motion. You can open older project in this version just as you have been able to in previous versions. The new keyer actually works and for $50 is is well worth it.
TOnyTOny

Thank you for this info. I'm glad Motion 5 can open Motion 4 projects (that's truly a relieve! ).
For me to know if it is really worth the price, I'd also need to know if Motion projects can be opened with Final Cut Pro 3 (not FCPX). And by that I mean if I'll still get the interaction there was between FCP3 and Motion 4, or would I have to export every project to a movie and then import it into FCP3? I know I'll lose the new features like rigging and thinks like that, but...

3.5- worth the price?

I have a G4 iBook and a Core Duo iMac.
FCE HD runs, but slowly, on the iMac.
Does the upgrade really offer enough to justify the price? (Yes, I've read Apple's promo lit)

It all depends on your needs, Ron.
Being able to keyframe filters is no big deal as there are workarounds and most users probably don't want to do it in any case!
Dynamic RT previews are not essential as you can see the effect on a still frame or if you want movement you can use the left and right arrow keys.
However, if you have an Intel Mac, the ability to run the program at full speed (together with the above facilities) is well worth the upgrade price.
Most G4 and G5 users would probably be better off sticking with FCE3.

Is mac mini worth the price

i am thinking of get a mac mini in the near future i am wondering if it is worth the 599 canadian and i have a old monitor that uses vga and i have usb keyboard and usb mouse that are designed for windows and desktop pc

I have wanted a Mac since the first version of OS X came out. (Before that, I didn't really care for 'em.) I've been a PC guy since the early 80's and have used all versions of DOS from 2.11 up, all versions of Windows and several flavors of Linux. I messed with MacOS back in college (pre X), and it was *okay,* but after OS X, I knew I wanted one. I finally got the opportunity less than two weeks ago ;-)
Anyway, I purchased the i7 2.3GHz 4GB model and absolutely love it!! I have a 22" 1080p display I use with it (via HDMI) and my Windows keyboard and wireless mouse. If necessary, you can purchase a VGA adapter to use your old monitor. I replaced one of the two 1TB drives with an SSD and my boot time from hitting the power switch to the login screen is 11 seconds. All my apps open nearly instantaneously, and frankly OS X is just a nice looking and powerful OS. (This is DEFINITELY recommended, but not necessary. It ran fine, albeit a bit slower with the HDD.) As a side, I'm using the 1TB drive I took out as an external Time Machine drive.
I will be purchasing a mechanical keyboard made for Mac, as I don't really care for the chiclet-style keyboards Apple currently offers. (But to keep cost down, the PC keyboard works just fine.)
To summarize: Yes, it's definitely worth the money, but I suggest getting a full-throw keyboard (or use your existing one) if you do a lot of typing, as I do.

Archival DVD - R's worth the price

Does anyone know if the ARCHIVAL DVD"S - R are worth the extra cost? They tell me they should last 100 years, but how would they know that?
Also, technology changes so rapidly so truthfully whatever I use, will need to be upgraded in a few years.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thank you for your post. For valuable recordings, DVD+R discs generally have a longer life due to the recording method. Archival discs are designed to last longer but you cannot rely 100% on them never failing, so if you have any precious memories on DVD it's recommended that you have several copies and also transfer the file as an ISO image on a backup drive as well.

Is MacBook Pro worth the price difference vs. MacBook?

Friends,
Is MBP a good bang for the buck, vs MacBook, for the Logic hobbiest?
I am a student, ready to buy a new computer and all new software to replace my eMac 1.25GHz (that runs Logic Pro 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 1). I plan to use Logic Pro 8 for MIDI and software instruments, with occasional recording of DJ mix sets.
After academic discount, MacBook Pro starts at $750 more than MacBook, but when upgraded to the same RAM, HDD, and processor, the MBP costs $400 more than the MB. I am aware of all technical differences between the two systems, even expecting a serious update to MBP soon.
Would you post your opinions, please?
Thank you.

Hmm I say go for the Macbook and save yourself a bunch of cash!
Like you have found out, buying a Macbook and upgrading it yourself (HDD and RAM) is far far far cheaper than either buying it from Apple or going with the Macbook Pro.
I'd suggest literally buying the base spec in terms of RAM and HDD, and replacing these yourself with a bigger HDD and more RAM. Neither will void your warranty as they are user replaceable and Apple provide instructions on how to change them on their website.
You could drop 2GB (they might even support 3 or 4 now) of RAM into a MB for less than $40 and a fast 300GB HDD isnt gonna cost you much more than $175-200. Once those are in, the difference in spec between your upgraded MB and the MBP doesnt seem so great, whereas the price is still hugely different!
The only time I would suggest going for the MBP is for graphics. Even then I think they are a little overpriced. I have the same NVidia card that was shipping in the MBP's in my iMac and I work in 3D graphics...to be honest, the difference in graphical performance between my MB (same spec as my iMac without graphics driver) and iMac is minimal.
The only other decider would be how many FireWire/USB ports you would use as the MBP has more.
I've considered upgrading to a MBP myself, but the specs just arent attractive enough at the moment and Im waiting for an update which will hopefully come soon, but this would be purely for my graphics work. For my Logic use, the MB handles everything I want to do no problem at all.
Hope this helps.

Apple Care and 1:1 - worth the price?

I am buying my first ever Mac (wither MBA or Pro -retina). Life long windows user. What do you think about the 1:1 service and the Apple Care? Do I need them? I live in NYC so there are several Apple stores in town.
Thanks

Apple care is worth it if you have a mechanical problem with the MBP. If there are no mechanical issues that develop, then it is not worth is, simply put.
The fact is that Apple Care is priced so that Apple will NOT lose money on repairs, so statically it is is not in your favor. You have to balance that with 'peace of mind' as you would insurance.
Note that Apple care does not cover damage to the MBP whether intentional or accidental. Should you drop the MBP, there is NO coverage. It cover manufacturing defects only.
If you are very much a novice to computers, 1 to 1 has virtue. Otherwise most of your issues can be addressed in these forums. An inherent problem with 1 to 1 is that there will be a very uneven quality of the instructors. You may get a good one, you may not. Luck of the draw. Having knowledge and being able to teach others do not go hand in hand.
Ciao.

Is HD worth the price?

id much rather pay $2 for an sd tv show than $3, is HD really worth it? Is it a noticeable difference?

In my opinion, no. But the answer for you will depend on your preferences, screen size, and viewing conditions. I suggest that you pop for the $3 on a one-time basis, and judge for yourself.

Is upgrading to 256GB and i7 worth the price?

Im looking forward to buying the MacBook air soon. But I need some help from you guys! I'm going for the 13" model but is it worth upgrading to 256GB and i7?
I'm probably going to be surfing the web (about 6 hours/day), a little but of music, maybe 200 photos, and some apps. Help me!

'Serious use' in this context would typically mean photo and video editing, perhaps video encoding - applications and tasks which demand heavy processing pwer, lots of memory and high speed.
Very few users actually need a system capable of this kind of level of work, and from your outline, you would not be amongst them. There's always an argument that says you should buy the most poerful system you can afford, but realistically most buyers don't need anything like the power of the systems they own. The kind of task that you describe (including iTunes music for example) are easily within the capabilities of recent systems, let alone current models.
In short, you aren't likely to need an i7 processor.

Retina MBP worth the price?

Hello,
Trying to decide on a MP or MBP for home use.
I like the idea of the high res screen, but have been reading about problems.
Some web development and gaming in windows 7

The only item I disagree with below is #1, since there are already SSD upgrades available out there. Otherwise, a prospective buyer should consider all points below before deciding if the Retina is the correct purchase for their situation.
The Retina makes sense for a lot of people and I think it's a brilliant machine. But if I was to buy today, I would reject a MacBook Pro Retina for me. The older MacBook Pro would be more productive for my specific uses, for many of the reasons below.
Courcoul wrote:
And there are considerably more disadvantages on the Retina MBP
The system is sealed. No upgrades possible. Plonk down all your cash from the start.
All servicing will have to be done by Apple, as components are custom and only available from them.
The I/O ports are limited to TB, USB3, SDXC card, HDMI and analog headphone out (missing FW800, Gbit Ethernet, digital audio out and digital/analog audio in from the regular model).
Need to purchase external dongles for anything not covered by the default I/O ports.
No internal optical drive, need to carry an external dongle if you use the media.
No antiglare option on the screen.

Infinity Home Service. Not worth the price

Had Infinity home installed in March 2015. Used a coupon promising no charge with 2 year contract. Infinity took over my existing alarm and only provided 4 cameras and an interface. For this, they added a $400 installation fee that magically appeared on bill. Be careful what you commit to. System has been undependable. Technician had to come back 3 times to get fully functional. Cameras are real time only. If something happens while you are away, data is no where to be found. Would advise looking on line for Belkin cameras that record and store. At less than $100 per camera, they are much cheaper than Infinity's "Free" cameras

You can actually connect just about any wireless network card to the 2.4GHz network. This is the bit that's backward compatible. You might have wanted to try out the AC connection via the 5GHz network hence requiring you a newer and more updated wireless adapter. This new wireless technology offers faster and more reliable connections making it ideal for media streaming. Netflix should work better if the device were connected to the 5GHz network on AC mode or if it were wired in (connected via ethernet).
If the device continues to intermittently function, there may be a firmware issue. Upgrade to the latest firmware version available on the EA6500 Support Page. Remember to reset and reconfigure the router after the upgrade to ensure flawless transition to the new firmware.

PLEASE help me squeeze the price of this build!!

Hi everyone-
I have been working on a new computer build with heavy CS5 usage in mind, particularly After Effects and Premiere. I have regular access to free cameras and gear, and I need an editing machine to facilitate a few personal projects This machine will be the kernel of a home studio, but will also be used for more ordinary internet / bill-paying types of work as well.
The help I need from you:
The price on my build right now is $3,956.00. Yikes!! I need help squeezing the total pricetag of this rig to a more manageable number, hopefully under $3,000. However, I know that I am purchasing literally everything in the system brand new, including things like monitors, speakers, the keyboard, etc, so my pricetag will be a bit higher than most builders in this forum.
As you'll see, I just mostly went on Newegg and selected the highest-rated component that was in a comfortable price range for me. I'm pretty sure that everything in my list will be able to play together nicely, but if there are ways that I can take steps down in price without affecting the quality of the system too drastically, those are the changes I want to know about.
TO SUM UP: After reading this forum for awhile, I've put together the computer I think I WANT. But I barely know what I'm doing with this stuff! Can you help me build the computer I NEED?

I went to film school. I'm not an editor per se, but I did a number of experimental compositing and animation projects, things that I'd like to resurrect, polish up, and put in my reel. I also plan to use this machine to digest projects that are not yet shot. With this machine, I'll be making the switch from Apple systems to PC.
Formats I'd like to be working with in the future:
-Sony SxS cards (XDCAM EX)
-Many flavors of DV video (DVCPROHD, DV, AVCHD, HDV)
-HDSLR footage (native H.264-based streams)
-Maybe RED footage?
I've never built a computer by myself before, but I have friends that have, who can help me. The components I've selected for this build were based mostly on advice I'd read in this forum, particularly Haarm's many guides for newbies like me
I do NOT need to be the fastest kid on the block, but I do want to build a reliable system the RIGHT WAY. I don't want to be cheap about cooling. For the HDD system, I want optimized data throughput that is structured in a sensible way.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who bothers to read even 1/2 of all that stuff, let alone anyone who makes helpful suggestions on how I can bring down the price of this system.
Talk soon!!
-Leo K

Thanks to everyone for their helpful advice. I've taken all of it into account, and I was able to shave almost $700 off of the price of my build!
This is the result of my first major revision to my list. Does anyone see major conflicts or poor decisions here?
