Def going for the Macbook Pro now. Found out I can get a discount from work . I figure making the switch from PC to Mac won't be that tough because I have to use both at work anyway. I already have Ableton and plan on getting Protools, Reason, or Cubase or SOMETHING as I believe it is now time for me to produce or at least edit my own tracks

anyone with a macremote download remotebuddy!

found it this week and it works wonders!

OK, looks like im going with a Black Mac Book Glossy 13. should I bump up the ram and keep the hds at 80gb or can I bump the HDs up to 120gb and buy ram at another place for the upgrade?

can I go 2gb by purchasing aftermarket ram? or am I confined to only upgrading via apple when I purchase the mac book?

in essence, is there a panel on the bottom that will allow me to open it up and pop ram in and out of it like any regular laptop?

external HD i have, not worried about it =)

yes there is a panel so yes on the aftermarket ram

I do love it...I can't stop playing with it

Only thing, can't figure out how to map network drives. I go to my Finder, click on Go -> servers and put in the IP of mine or my roomies machine and it can't connect. Am I missing something?

So I have my mac book pro and I bought a monitor just so I could get the desktop feel when I'm at home...

And I just figured out that you can 'un-mirror' your display and can use both the displays. One for the menu and and the other to extend the desktop for two monitors.

Its soo cool cos now I can use more desktop space....I know this is a common feature but I just figured it out...

Anyone know any cool 'mac' stuff which I could play around with???

common feature...cool mac stuff...umm I dont know much off the top of my head but there are times about every 3 months that i get shocked and say to myself "thats a cool feature" on my mac's

here's the deal

I recently got a macbook pro and ended up getting the exact same model as a gift from family a few weeks later..still sealed and boxed, tryin to get rid of it so PM me if ur interested in gettin one at a good deal

specs:
15.4" monitor
2.16Ghz dual core processor
1 GB RAM
100GB Hard Drive
256MB Video Card
+ everything else that comes standard w/ the model..

what sort of range mac would i need to buy for running applications like cubase and possibly logic? ive no real interest in gaming etc,

only what i mentioned before, and word processing, maybe photoshop etc
cheers

a macbook with 2gb ram would do just fine..small and portable.

Just bought a mac book pro yesterday. This is my first experience with the MAC os. I am trying to rid myself of all my 'windows type' thinking. there are a few things that I don't seem to understand (IE. I installed firefox as my web browser, but each time i turn on my PC it's gone!) so, I guess I'll just use safari until i manage to figure that out. I know I'm gonna love this mac though.. such a well built machine.

If you guys can recomend any good websites for me to check out in order to familiarize myself with this new OS, i'd greatly appreciate it.

get Omniweb for a web browser...it's the best one for Mac Os. It's on discount for november too.

It's probably not gone - you're most likely going to have to add it to your Dock.

Open up Finder (like Windows Explorer, is the first icon on your Dock, the one with the square face) --> Applications --> Firefox (just double click on the application to launch it). The Firefox icon will appear on your Dock as it's running, scroll over it with your mouse, and holding down on the CTRL button, press your mouse button; a pop-up window will come up, and just select Keep in Dock.

Now you can add and remove programs from your Dock as you please

Hope this helps!

thanks :]

I got one, I installed the new MSN messenger for Mac, and everytime I run it it places the drive icon on the desktop. If I try to eject it, it tells me that the application is still running. I can eject it when I close out of Messenger. It's weird because that's the only program that does that. Also, anyone know of any programs for a Mac that will burn cue files? I was looking for Buurrrn, but I can't remember how many u's and r's the name has so I can't google it

dont use the proper MSN use AMSN or Adium for MSN on Mac
