Getting my MacBook Air in a couple of weeks!!!

[J.R]

Should've probably gone with the Pro if you're spending that much. You don't have much room at all for expansion with the Air.

Yeah, like others have said.

Macbook Pro>Macbook Air.

The new ones are supposed to be crazy fast, plus they have the new Thunderbolt port which is supposed to transfer files at 10gbps.

I hear ya, but I am going for size ( dimension ) over size ( memory ) it's suits what I need it for best.

And BreakBeat - top man.

MacBook is coming Tuesday!

[Run]

I was looking on craigslist to see if someone was selling an old Macbook.......couldn't find one around me. If anyone sees one cheap lmk, I'll just pay shipping or whatever.

Hopefully some crackhead decides to sell his for dirt/peanuts.

I can't wait, it's gonna set me back around ?500. I'm getting the 13" and doubling up the processor - Intel core 2 Duo 2.13ghz, doubling the RAM to 4gb and buying a MacBook Air SuperDrive.

Does anybody have any experience with these, I know iBreakbeat will have some info for me.

panda's got the 13" core2duo 1,86ghz model with 4gb

its an awesome machine and the 128gb ssd performs wicked fast...

mine was one of the first to arrive here in holland back in october...that being said apple screwed us MBA buyers over by delaying the thunderbolt technology and not giving us a backlit keyboard. the machine also doesnt have firewire so ure stuck using USB 2.0 which is outdated right now

the worst thing however is shipping these MBA models with their leftover bulk of core2duo processors. this really sucks because initially panda though the cpu would perform fine but its constantly maxing out during heavier tasks and the otherwise quiet operation becomes a hot and noisy cooling process.
if panda was to buy a new macbook now it would be the new macbook pro

Yeah somebody told me they are rediculously fast. And the new flash drive, no more hard disc, so no whirring noise or overheating.

This is my 1st Apple product other than my 3GS so it's gonna take some getting used to the touchpad. I have worked plenty of overtime for this

well playing a 1080p HD movie in quicktime, having itunes and growl active, together with word and powerpoint 2011 is enough to for it to heat up to a point where it doesnt feel pleasant to hold it on ur lap and it does get noisy if u push the cpu

My external hard drive / storage device is gonna be my current laptop which is in perfect condition, and I'm buying the specially built SuperDrive but the only disc I ever use is FM 2011 movies and music, I download.

dont buy the Superdrive....apple honestly has done a fine job compensating for the lack of a DVD drive with their software. u can simply use the drive of any other computer currently linked to ur home network and its a breeze to use. the only thing u might need an 80 euro superdrive for is installing windows

the 13" mbp models cant be fast seeing as they still use old 5400rpm drives. my friend recently replaced the 5400rpm hdd he had in his 07 mbp with a 7200rpm drive and the difference is stunning

if u want a faster system u'll have to update ur mbp with an SSD which is crazy expensive and not an easy process by any means if ure looking to do it urself

that being said thunderbolt is amazingly fast and the mbp has about a dozen more hardware features one can benefit from

seems like overkill when all ur gonna do is post on boxingscene and download ****.

Well for security there is a firewall and a option to encrypt your hard drive called File Vault so that if your Mac ever got stolen no one could read the data on it.

You can use Firefox, I have switched to using Safari since there are now extensions.

Where might I find the firewall and filevault mate?

?,500?!!??!?!?! sweet jesus m8 you would have been better off buying a normal laptop much cheaper etc, but whatever floats your boat it looks nice but i guess it would since it costs that much and has decent memory and a fast core processor...

the model john locke got is a bit overpriced

but for a laptop with a flash drive as big as this one its competitively priced when compared to other brands with similar specs. the flash drive is much more a significant factor in loading times and reading and writing speed compared to the processor
