Apple :: Mac Book Pro 13 Inch And Windows 7

Apr 18, 2010

I'm considering buying a new Mac Book Pro 13" inch. Will windows 7 run on this? Has anyone tried it, what sort of battery life am I looking at? Will I lose some functionality, like the backlit keys?

Apple :: Compared Anti Glare Screens On 15 Inch And 17 Inch

Mar 21, 2010

I had a chance to stop by at apple store today, and compared the anti glare screens on both 15 inch and 17 inch models. To my surprise, the 15 inch one was much brighter than 17 inch one. I made sure that both had max brightness settings, and it was clear that 15 inch one was superior. maybe this 17 inch display model was defect? anyone has opposite experience? (btw, I hate seeing myself and losing focus because of reflective glassy screens)

Apple :: Exchanging 17 Inch MBP With 15 Inch MBP

Mar 22, 2009

Apple will mail me a new 17 inch MBP unibody(Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66, 4G memory, 320G hard drive) and I found out that I like the 15 inch MBP unibody more (lighter yet the same powerful machine). Is there anyway that I can take it back to apple store and exchange for a 15 inch MBP?

Apple :: Old MBP 15 Inch Vs Unibody MBP 13 Inch

Jul 16, 2009

I just got my sisters old macbook pro which is a late 2007 model with the following specs:

15.4 inch LED screen (1440 x 900)
160 gb 5400 rpm HD
2 gb of ram (the standard that it came with) - 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
GPU: nVidia Geforce 8600M GT with 256mb

Superdrive: 4x DVD+R DL writes, 8x DVD+/-R read/write, 4x DVD+/-RW writes, 24x CD-R, and 10x CD-RW recording
No applecare left on it
Condition: Very minor wear and tear, but its in excellent condition because its been in a speck plastic case from day one with all the protective casing features below and kept in a neoprene sleeve when on the go
Battery: there are two, one is absolute shot (as in it lasts about 1 minute before i get a low battery warning), the other is brand new and hasnt been opened yet
Accessories: it also came with a brand new (not even opened) battery, a full body speck plastic case, rubber keyboard cover, trackpad film cover, and rubbery/felt like cover for the part below the keyboard and trackpad buttons, oh and a 15 inch neoprene sleeve...my sister is sort of a freak about protecting it............

Apple :: Mac Book - Glossy Screen All Day

May 16, 2009

Seems I get headaches or at least eye strain from staring at my Mac Book Pros glossy screen all day.

I've always spent way to much time on my LapTops over the years & I know that in its self is not good for your eyes, But it seems that this glossy screen is making it much worse.

I dont remember dealing with this with the Mat ( non-glossy screens ) before.

Might this glossy screen be doing this? Should I get a film for it?

Apple :: Book Studio Drive Disconecting

Jun 9, 2009

i have a SR Macbook pro (late 2007) with OS X 10.4. i hooked it up with Western Digital MyBook Studio 1TB (external USB drive). the drive is correctly partitioned and formatted. using GUID and HFS+, quite often upon connecting, the drive start up, then spun down again imediately. strangely enough, the drive is still connected, the indicator light is still on, and the drive is still mounted under "disk utility", the volume however does not. if that makes sense. should i be worried? anyone else experience this problem? does this indicate that there is a problem with the drive? or a problem with mac os x? - i do have freeagent pro drive before, and it also have trouble with the drive jamming mid file transfer.

Apple :: New Mac Book Pro 13" (June 2009) Battery

Jun 15, 2009

I've got some questions.

1) how much is the maximum capacity of the new battery? I'm getting 5500mAh per full charge... is this correct?

2) "if you intend to keep your laptop plugged for a long time, remove the battery" Ok. So how do I follow this rule if the battery is built-in? ahhahaha!

3) Apple says to recalibrate the battery once a month... but how often is it good to unplug? once a day? once a week?

4) at what percentage should I plug the laptop back in if i'm NOT recalibrating?

Apple :: 13" Mac Book Pro - Hard Drive And Warranty

Jun 15, 2009

I have a 13" Mac Book Pro (June 2009)

If I upgrade the hard drive on my own, will it void the notebook's one year warranty?

The sales people say yes... but the manual describes the procedure (why would it give directions for something that will void the warranty?)

Apple :: Mac Book Pro 15 - Keepboard/trackpad/handrest Protection

Apr 12, 2009

I just got my Mac Book Pro 15" a couple of days ago & do love it! ( except I'm still adapting from my Dell I've had for so many years. )

& I'd like to protect it from scratches & spills etc.

I've once seen a single one piece of silicone that covered everthing, but I cant find it now.

I'm assuming its not available for the newer models.

I dont know if I'm crazy about the Marware's stuff.

I dont think this one even has the keyboard cover.

Apple :: Integrating ICal - Mail - And Address Book Into One Window

Jan 14, 2010

I know it sounds Outlook-ish, but I think it'd be nice to be able to have my calendar and contacts show within Apple Mail -- that way, everything is right there in one window, and any changes I make are synced to Gmail / GCal, since that's the source of my calendar and contacts.

Have only found one reference to a since-defunct piece of software. Can this be done, preferably via freeware -- or even software options I missed?

Apple :: Mac Book - Turn On - Could Hear The Sound But My Display Was Black

May 22, 2010

It's a old version MacBook Pro 15.4" 2008 Edition, Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz (i think) 2GB Ram, 250GB HDD

The problem I encountered was that one day when I was using my laptop I forgot to turn it off and then my laptop went to 'sleep' mode, when I came back and tried to turn on my laptop I could hear the sound but my display was black.

I thought it was just a minor problem so I just restarted my laptop but the problem consisted...

Unfortuately my warranty ran out but still I still put my laptop through the checkup in the official Apple customer center and they said that I needed to purchase a new part PCBA, MLB, 2.5 GHZ, REV2.

Dell :: Return Inspiron 15.6 Inch For 17 Inch

Sep 16, 2009

I bought a new Inspiron last week and got it yesterday - I am happy with it except feel a bit annoyed as I though wide screen of 15.6 would be the same as 15.4 normal screen in terms of height, but with a slightly wider screen.

It turns out that actually it is half an inch shorter! And 768 pixels high does not seem enough.

I looked into the 17inch model and for only £25 more I can get the same speced laptop.

Does anyone know how much I might get charged for returning the 15 inch to get the 17 inch (it has been within 21 days) ....

Apple :: MBP 13 Inch Hinge Squeaks

Dec 17, 2009

i have only had my MBP 13 for a few months and thinking of giving my dell to my business partner. When i open the screen and then let it sit for a few seconds then attempt to open it a little more it squeaks and crackles sometimes like it was stuck in place. Does this happen to any of you and it is a problem that i should take it to apple for? Any solutions because it feels like i am going to break something sometimes when opening the screen a little more. Like a plastic rubbing against metal sound when something is too tight.

Apple :: Macbook Pro 15 Inch Unibody - Heat

Jun 20, 2009

i would just like to know how hot the 15 inch macbook pro unibody runs after being under load for a few hours. I will be playing games 3-4 hours straight some nights.

i heard it runs at 70 degrees celsius under load and it stays around there, but if its running that hot:

Is it uncomfortable to use on your lap? will you want to take it off your lap after a few seconds?

Any tips on keeping it cool? i dont understand how a notebook cooler helps that much, as there are no intakes on the bottom of the notebook. And because of that how does keeping the macbook on your bed affect its temps at all? as long as you keep the vents sucking air in and blowing air out clear shouldnt it not matter?
