  • I bought the 15" Macbook Pro 2.66GHz with dedicated graphics card. For our tasks, probably you won't see a difference between the 9400m and the 9600GT yet, but for heavy graphics use with big external monitors and such, there is some difference. I d…
  • I did actually purchase the 15" matte MBP and couldn't be happier with the display. Very nice, really! Perfect for working and also for movies and such.. I'm still getting used to the big size of this (coming from a 12" Powerbook), but the screen i…
  • Best is to never get it stolen. I use the Kensington security lock for this in "trusted" environments, and never leave my notebook alone in unknown environments.
  • I order my 15" MacBook Pro today to replace my Rev. A 12" Powerbook (Until now I've hoped for a smaller replacement, but I can't wait longer and it seems to be worth the additional size to carry around). Since it will only be delivered in the second…
  • Thank you for suggesting clicktoflash! My 12" Powebook was actually unusable on youtube.. I don't use this site much, but when I open a movie I want to see it without problems. And now it works again as it should. Will Quicktime X work on a G4? It …
  • Actually I thought about pulling the trigger today for a 13" Macbook Pro to replace my over 6 year old 12" Powerbook. The glossy screen was (and still is) the only thing holding me back! I tried to use in everyday situations a macbook with glossy sc…
  • Yes, it should work. Probably not as fast as on new notebooks. Are you still on USB1? If so, perhaps you can get a PCMCIA card supporting USB2 for faster transfer rates? Mac OS 10.5 should run on your TiBook for best experience (what processor and R…
  • I don't want to use Matlab 64 bit on my 6 year old Powerbook, but I will buy a new Macbook Pro soon and would therefor like to get the most out of this software/hardware, that's why I'm interested in 64 bit (and Snow Leopard). I contacted Mathworks…
  • No, Mac OS 10.6 is not out yet, so probably you didn't miss any announcement. Here is the link I was talking about: Matlab on 10.6. And yes, I'm still on PPC and didn't invest in 10.5 for my machine since 10.4 works well, so no "software update" fo…
  • Replying to myself.. I found at least one person in the internet which seems to have used Matlab 2008 with 10.6, so 2009 should also be possible. Now if anyone has access to Matlab 2009b beta for testing 64 bit, is it worth waiting and buying later…

  • I'm not sure if this is the solution, since I have no new macbook pro. As far as I know, you can't use the 9400 and 9600 simultaneously. Since your 9400 is connected, the 9600 is turned off. You have to turn it on in system preferences and log out …
  • I think I will replace mine as well with one of the new 13" Macbook Pros . Very nice machine. But there are some things that still hold me back: - I actually like my matte screen and the form factor. - I still use TV-out and VGA, and not DVI,HD…

  • Hi! I'm running a Rev. A 12" Powerbook, but only with 640MB Ram. I use however a 7200rpm harddrive. At the moment I'm very successfully using 10.4, but I am thinking of upgrading to 10.5 for being able to use iphoto 8 and some other Leopard only ap…
  • Thank for the replys! I actually installed the developer tools and like QC. It's a really easy way of programming and it did the job. Anyway, I will invest some more time to learn how to build a interface around it so I can just drag and drop my i…

  • The solution to your decision is very easy. If you need the Macbook Pro now, buy it now. If you can wait without loosing too much, than wait. I'm waiting until revision B of the Macbook or Macbook Pro, hoping for non-glossy displays. Until than I wo…
  • Quite interesting software! I tried it and it worked on some test pictures I took. During the demo-period I will try more specific tasks I normaly have in macro-photography. The interface is realy simple, and the speed is also very good. (12" Powe…
  • I have bought a WD MyBook Studio 1TB and am very well satisfied. The Firewire 800 is a good option for daisy chaining two of them later when space is not enough. It comes with all necessary cables for firewire 400, 800 and USB. It's not the cheapest…
