Since the regular MB is 13", I'd just get the 13" MBP. Microcenter supposedly has a deal for $999.

I think with something like this, it's not so much the content of the post as it is the scrolling required. Nobody likes to scroll. When you have to scroll that much more (times 75) because some guy just wants to say "I agree," it's kind of distracting. It definitly detracts from the experience.

MBA's also don't have a super drive, backlit keyboard, or ethernet port. I'd go with the MBP. The 13" MBP is still extremely light. For your uses as well, I would not recommend a C2D processor when Sandy Bridge is in the market. If you really still want a MBA, wait until they are refreshed with SB processors.
MBAs have their good things and bad things.

I have a 2.7ghz G5 and 4 months after buying it i'm now finding it a little sluggish. I've just done an xbench and it on average scores 106 compared to a 2ghz G5 (at 100) !! The finder is having problems changing between windows and I get beachballs randomly with simple tasks. Personally I blame 10.4.2 and perhaps dodgy crucial memory.
I would freshen up your system when 10.4.3 is released, maybe do a clean install. Consider a new graphics card ?
Then If you want to wait for the next best. Wait for an Intel Powermac since graphics cards etc are likely to be better aswell as speedier processors (although I expect most software updates to intel won't be free)

It does not surprise me that Apple is having issues with 10.6.4. Beta testers reports are consistently ignored with a "we know best" attitude from Apple coders. There are dozens of reports of Airport problems on 10.6.4, which is an issue at such a basic level, you feel would have been picked up quickly and dealt with. Ditto increasing issues with Flash and CS5 on 10.6.4 but of course Jobs would say this is Adobe's fault. On the face of it, it is looking like there is a consistent lack of effort to resolve any issue relating to Adobe products on Apple's part. It is very petty and very much not in the interests of end users.
However we Mac users must realise we are now the poor relations and anything not to do with iPads or iPhones (and I admit to having both), is of small import nowadays.

I think we all need to remember that this is just some sort of App Store preview, backported into the current OS. In Loin, it'll be more integrated than it is now, and as such, will likely be much smarter.
Additionally, I fairly sure that the people who wrote the App Store app are using Xcode, and are quite aware of this issue. So, you gotta know that this is a known issue for them as well. They won't fix it, because it'll be fixed in Lion.

I'm going to get the new 2011 Macbook Pro! Thanks guys. :cool:
Great! I have a 2011 15" MBP and based on my experience you should be very happy with your decision.

I once spoke to a chap I know who was in huge debt and asked how he slept a night. He said if you owe a Bank �100 you're screwed, they won't try to help you, but if you owe them �100,000 they're screwed and will bend over backward to help.Been there. I was never treated so well as when I owed �1.5 million.

Near your drawers are those windows? If so move the desk near the window (assuming it will not block the windows by shelves etc) I like to look out the window when i'm at my desk for natural light. Other then that, paint and new posters/art good ways to spice up a room.
Yes those are windows. I was planning on moving the desk over there but it wont fit by 2 inches! Talk about a headache!

Nobody here can answer your question.
That can be a dangerous game to play, selling your perfectly usable computer now (you didn't tell us you had any complaints) in anticipation of a product that doesn't exist, and may or may not come to exist. You'll never be able to stay ahead of the game.
tssh since when was a Dual processor 2.5ghz G5 a perfectly usable machine
on second thoughts... keep it. for now :eek: just dont get trapped into the "buy new mac, sell for an update" way of things. the cost soon adds up :(

Hey everybody,
Curious if anyone has a solution to this. I have been able to create ad hoc networks on my laptop, while on a train without wifi and airplay video from my iphone to my laptop using Airplayer from Erica.
I am curious, without jailbreaking, is there a way to create a ad hoc network on my iphone or ipad that allows interconnectivity, so that I can use Airframe on my ipad to play videos from my iphone's streamtome or airvideo to the ipad?
See, when I take the train home, which doesn't have wifi, I would like to play movies from streamtome or airvideo (which are stored on my computer at home) over 3g and watch them on my ipad's bigger screen. But with no wifi available, I usually need to create an ad hoc network on my laptop, something I am unclear I can do on the ipad/iphone.
Thanks!

I preferred it as on the original Apples it was always referred to as the Apple key. Also it makes things easier when giving someone instructions over the phone. Now instead of saying let's say Apple S I have to say Command S. Then they say "what is command?", no one ever knows what the command key is. To which I have to reply the key by the space bar with the little box and four circles.

i think that you should be fine getting an emac, its a good machine and will be comparable in performance to your ibook due to similar (albeit not identical) specs. up the ram if you want to.
i understand your problem with the moving of the ibook, but to put your mind to rest, it is designed to be put up with certain stresses (whithin reason):D so it can survive a short trip in a backpack everyday, you will probably see mostly physical wear and tear, and no hardware damage (unless you drop it).
many would be inclined to say: what use is a portable if you dont use its portability?
in a matter of weeks i shall be carrying my powerbook around my new campus, but i did buy a special bag for it so im not that worried about it getting damaged. UNDUE CARE IS NEEDED!
if you are still paranoid, buy yourself a good protective case/bag (not a skintight sleeve).
or if you are still worried, go with the imac.
hope i have been a help

Intel came up with the BTX form factor a little while ago. I have not heard from it since. Do a lot of PCs use this motherboard style? How about Dell?
Is it a possibility that future Macs will use it?
Gateway has been using the BTX for almost a year I believe.
Could any future Macs use a BTX MB? I suppose that anything is possible- who would have imagined Mac OS running on intel processors?!

That is a madly low price for this. I'd be interested, but it's almost too low. Do you have any pics of it on and working?
