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 :: New 15.4" MacBook Pro - Glossy Screen

Jan 16, 2009

I've wanting a laptop for almost 5 months now and I simply am having problems choosing between the 15" MBP, Sony Z, and Dell M4400. I am extremely indecisive and I want to make the good decision. I like to have portability, power, and a decent looking laptop.

I'm really leaning towards the 15" MacBook Pro because it fits almost everything what I want in a laptop BUT I simply cannot fathom starring a glossy screen for the next few years. For everyone who has a MacBook Pro, how is the glossy screen? I know I won't be using the laptop outside in the sun, but I could be in a sunny kitchen or living room and I do not want to strain my eyes with glare and reflection. Can anyone make me feel better about this glossy screen?

Also, I plan to use Windows Vista 90% of the time.

Does anyone know if the new right click button is supported with Vista?

Any other problems from using Vista as my primary OS on the MBP?

Do I have to logout to switch graphics mode in Windows... or is that just for OSX?

Is there still an issue with the laptop acting funny with maxing out the ram at 4GB?

Apple :: Eye Strain From 15" Macbook Pro Glossy Screen

Feb 14, 2010

I have recently been getting pretty severe eye strain and headaches (migraines) after spending too much time online. Has anyone here experienced any eye strain or headaches from their Macbook Pro Glossy Screens?

I never used to get these with my older Macbook Black that I had. The screen on my new Macbook Pro looks great and colors are excellent but the eye strain is really bad and I am wondering if anyone has these problems with their Macbook Pro Glossy screen and if it is any better with the regular Macbooks (Macbook White) compared to the Macbook pros??

I was thinking that the Thinkpads would be better for having less eye strain compared to the Macbook Pro 15" glossy screens so I asked a question in that forum as well to get some feedback from the Thinkpad users. I am now thinking of getting a Thinkpad laptop or a regular Macbook because of the eye strain and headaches I get after spending too much time looking at my Macbook screen.

Which screen is better for the Studio line? The Glossy Screen, or the newly offered....17.3 HD+ Bright LED Display with Truelife. HERE

Is the Truelife screen regular LCD, or Glossy? The glossy screen reflects everything.

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.

Dell :: How Glossy Is The Ultrasharp 1440x900 LED Screen On The E6500/6400

Apr 25, 2009

I'm considering buying a Dell e6400 or Dell e6500. I'd prefer the I'd prefer a 15.4' screen. However, if I get that I feel like I probably should get a higher res than the basic 1280 x 800. Ideally I want 1440 x 900.

The problem is Dell only seems to offer the higher resolution in a glossy screen on either model (at least in Canada) - "UltraSharp™ Wide WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display-Brushed Metal Black". I spoke to Dell and they said it's something in b/w an anti-glare screen and a consumer glossy screen, but I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm wondering if anyone has this type of screen and can tell me what their experience has been? How glossy is it?

I mainly will use my laptop for writing and office work - in coffee shops, offices or the library - so I don't like have a screen that is reflective. I much prefer an anti-glare screen. I've thought about just buying the e6400 with the anti-glare 1280x800 LED screen, but like I say, would prefer to get a bigger screen if possible, so wanted to see how glossy these screens really are.

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 :: E6400 ATG Glossy !!?

Oct 1, 2009

Does anybody in this forum own a Dell Latitude E6400 ATG laptop? If so, could you write, whether it's display is glossy or matte.

I asked many Dell sales people, which confirmed that it is matte. Now I bought one and I am very disappointed about the display, because its quite glossy and not matte at all.

So if you have this laptop too, it would be interesting to find out, if its matte or glossy. Perhaps you could even put some pictures online

HP/Compaq :: Envy 15 Should I Go Matte Or Glossy

Mar 4, 2010

The screen will be used for photo editing so accurate colors and good contrast are a must.

I do fair bit on on site editing and that sometimes means outdoors so antiglare would be great, but I'd rather hunt down dark shades with the glossy if it means superior display.

Oh and any advice on ordering? Is ordering by phone better? Lots of people seem to do this instead of ordering online.

Dell :: Studio: Matte Vs Glossy Finish

Jan 16, 2009

Is anyone here familiar with the "finish" option on the Studio? I was told over the phone that if I get black or white, it will come in a glossy finish, and if I get one of the colors, it will come in a textured matte finish. I prefer the matte finish, because glossy plastic finishes are a big problem---my palms stick to the plastic.
