Apple :: 13" MBP - Can You Play Css At Max Settings Smoothly
Jun 18, 2009
i'm really loving the new 13" MBP especially the size and battery life. however, i'm also a pretty hardcore css gamer and the only thing holding me back from buying it is the possibility that it might not work perfectly on the 13". I would also love to save money from purchasing the 15" mbp w/ the dedicated gpu. so any of you out there try counter-strike source on your new 13" mbp at full settings? what's the fps?

Besides running Onyx, what can I do to keep my Macbook running smoothly?
I don't have very many things installed, and am sure to delete bits of things when I get rid of them.
Also, what exactly does Onyx do?

I just received my M1730 today. It looks great. But there is an issue occurs and I hope you guys can help me.....
Here is the System configuration:
_ Intel Core 2 Duo T8300(2.4GHz, 800Mhz, 3M L2)
_ 4GB of DDR2
_ 1GB Nvidia Dual GeForce 9800M GT SLI
_ 320 GB 7200rpm Seagate Hard Drive
_ Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit Edition
I tested the laptop with COD Word at Conflict Benchmark and the frame rate was about 12 (maximum) for max setting, 14 (maximum) for medium setting. I can not play the game smoothly and I don't know what the reason is?

I have a problem with touchpad, when I slide my finger over it, pointer doesn't move smoothly, it is very laggy. When I connect my mouse, it works fine and smooth. I've tried to find some solutions on here but none of them worked. OS is Windows 8.1.

I've installed Flip4Mac and I still can't listen to music that's using the WMP plugin on Firefox. I can't see the play, pause, etc. controls on the website. Sometimes, the music would play, but most of the time it won't. If it does play, I still can't see the controls for it.

This is the bane of my existence.
System 1: HP DV4
AMD Turion 2.1GHz proc
4GB DDR2 Ram
WD Scorp BLue 250GB HDD
A really good dedicated Graphics card, could play Civ 4 at fairly high settings, 1280x800 no problems.
Now I tried to play the ESiR rip of Saving Private Ryan, no juice.
I tried it in Win 7, nothing, I installed Win 7 RC1, still couldn't do it.
I'm talking a new installation, no software, just VLC.
NOW, the funny thing is my friend, on his Black Macbook (2.4GHz, 4GB ram, bad Intel Int GFX) can play blueray rips PERFECTLY, while doing a million other things.
SO I buy his laptop because he upgraded, install a fresh copy of OSX, and guess what? It still dosen't play (although the hardware is 1000x better than HP's) I don't understand why VLC uses ALL of my CPU, and when I close EVERYTHING, and restart finder 8 times because I can't close it, the thing still stutters. I can watch stuff, but it will freeze on a frame and stutter.
It's not just private ryan, I have Terminator 2, 3, 1, and a lot of other movies.
I've tried quicktime, Realplayer, Nice Player, VLC, WMP, ect.
My friend says it might be the MKV file container, because when he was playing them on his brand new uMBP, they went fine, but he couldn't skip through the video without it glitching (pause and unpause to shake off the 'blocks'). I've never really been able to skip through a video without it hanging or getting the 'blocks'. Even a 10mb AVI sometimes gives me issues. He said it was a bad rip because he couldn't freely 'scroll' through the video.
Could this be some hardware issue?
720P AVIs do seem fine, but everyone puts their stuff into MKV. I thought MKV was better than AVI.
If I convert these into H.264 or something, will that solve the problem?

what is the BEST, quality loseless, full potential way, to play flac, and many other audio files(all, if possible) on the ipod touch? ipod touch is simply amazing, with millions of apps. I do not want to get a cowon iaudio, or iriver to play flac files and paying the same for their players just because they got better EQ, audio quality, and many many supported formats. I love apple products, but their ipod mp3 player line just needs better and wider formats supported in my opinion.
I want the ipod touch to do the same, i am an audiophile so i expect alot from my gadgets and equipments. does the Zune HD support flac natively, if not, how do u play flac on the zune HD also,

I've noticed that:
1. There is no longer an A/V control panel under "Window" or wherever it formally was, and;
2. Two-fingered scrolling on the touchpad speeds up playback without changing pitch, but as soon as I lift my fingers, 1.0x playback resumes.
Looking to get through some videos at a faster rate. How can I make 1.5x stick? I know QT on Windows can do this easily.

I'd like to rip one of my region 2 dvd's for backup using Handbrake, but I'm not sure which settings to use?
Should I use anamorphic (strict), or maintain aspect ratio? Or custom, and maintain the 720x576 resolution? I don't want the picture stretched or squished. Please help, I'm really confused on what settings to use.

some solid firewall settings for a MAC? Would be using the native firewall.
Also, what is the best anti-virus (freeware) to use? I'm not looking for debate on how an Apple OS doesn't need it. Just what is the best and most widely used freeware. not familiar with MACs.

Is there a program out there that I can use on leopard to change how much bass/treble comes out of the sound output? Like the graphic equalizer for itunes, but system wide?
The reason why is that my speakers have a subwoofer, but no independent control for the volume of it. On the PC (cough), I could just turn it down with the creative software, but osx doesn't have anything that I can see.
Will I have to get new speakers?....

I just picked up a new 13" MacBook Pro today and I was wondering what the best settings were for maximum battery life without turning the brightness down too low. This is my first mac so if you could sort of guide me through the process of changing the settings.

i've been receiving inumerous spams since i started using adium. I googled for a solution and it was a simple one, to change the privacy settings to only allow messages from contact list, however, when i close the program and open again, savings are reseted to receiving messages from anyone.

I do predominantly web surfing, editing photos and rendering videos on my Macbook Pro.
I have it set for Better Battery Life.
When should I set it up for "Better Performance"? Gaming?
What do you have yours set up with and what applications are you predominantly running? If you are running Windows, also, does running with Better Performance make a difference?

It would be easiest if I just had a camera to take a picture of it, but, alas, I do not.
I have an Acer 22" monitor that I attach via mini display --> VGA to my 13" MBP, but for some reason it isn't aligning correctly. The external monitor is set up to the right of the laptop. The native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050, which is displaying correctly, but the entire image isn't showing up on the screen. I moved the horizontal position all the way to the 100 mark, but there is just a 1.5-2" black line going down the right side of the monitor. Also, normally if you drag an app between the laptop monitor and the external monitor it is "seamless," but right now you have to drag a little further until it shifts onto the next monitor... if that makes sense. Essentially, the whole image on the external monitor is shifted to the left about 1.5-2". The monitor seems to be fine... when I make the resolution lower, the image fills the entire screen (it's just all out of proportion and hurts my eyes).
I have tried reconnecting all the connections and resetting all the settings, but nothing is working. It's still workable right now, but it's annoying as heck.

I thought 4 finger gestures were a feature of snow leopard, but I do not see the option to enable them in settings, also, where is the "Incompatible Applications" folder that incompatible apps are supposed to be moved into?

It's a phrase that's so often repeated I was wondering whether anyone thought it had any validity?
So often do I hear and read people saying things like, "if you have real work to do, then you have to use windows", and how offices couldn't exist on mac's, and how you can't get any work done if you are using a mac and your collegues are using windows etc.....

I saw that Steam now works on OS X as long as you have an intel processor. Can you now run and use any game on OS X? I was told that HL1 and HL2 games would run.

I reboot and it works excellent now. Don't know why, but it was ejecting every disc I put in, even blank ones, so I rebooted. For some reason it must not have liked the very first Blu-Ray I put in ever, and set of the ejections. Its ok now. Odd.
For the first time ever I have bought a Blu-Ray DVD. I put the DVD in my DV9774ca "Blu-Ray" drive and expect Media Center or something to come up, yet the disc drive is making its searching jiggedy jig noises for a few moments, then it ejects it and nothing happens on screen. No programs open or anything.

I only use laptops for some wifi, docs and music but I thought it was time for a slight upgrade so I found a deal on a Studio 15 and bought it.
I would like to start playing some games, not serious, but just some fun games to pass the time.
Below is my config, I am not sure what kind of games it can handle.
The system ended up costing me $735 brand new at Dell with my discounts.
Take a look and let me know what I can play (games) on it ......

I am looking at the Sony VGN-FW378J/B. One of the features I like about it is the Blu Ray. I rent mostly Blu Ray from Netflix as I have the PS3 and can watch them. My girlfriend doesn't so I figure I am in the market for a new notebook, I may as well get the Sony with Blu Ray and HDMI and I can take it to her house and watch Blu Ray on her TV through my laptop. I didn't think anything of it until I was listening to a computer show where they said that some computers won't allow you to play the Blu Ray through the TV.
They called it "mirroring" I believe. Either something in the hardware and DVD protected it from playing on the TV.
So My question is, has anybody hooked their Sony notebook to their TV through the HDMI cable and played a Blu Ray movie? And if it did work how was the quality?

While back, looks like user "WeAreNotAlone" has solution to my recover reinstall of Quick Play on dv8301nr with 2-each 80gb hard drives, posted o5-25-06, #268 under HP Notebook Forums, HP notebooks, HP's Quick Play v2.0.
Fix was to remove or re-size the extended (logical) partition to allow totally free, unpartitioned space at the end of the drive.... Then run the QP v2.0 installer...
How do I do this?
I wiped both hard drives (after getting frustrated), Put in HP's Windows XP recovery DVD (that I ordered from HP specific to my dv8301nr) and subtracted 1024 from available (but ended up with 1020, somehow?), then installed HP's Application and Programs DVD, and, after long online chat with HP live help, installed their update for installing Quick Play. But i still get Error 2147418113 Quick Play Componnent Move Data error. How do I remove or re-size this logical partition thing-a-ma-jig? Thanks.
By rhe way, new here. Looks like lots of good info. Have 2-each HP laptops, and one HP desktop. In past, have bought, new, 3-HP desktops, and these current used laptops. I like HP, most of the time
