    in Best Macbook Pro TV Tuner? Comment by abandonedhero August 2007
  • A standard (read: non-digital) TV tuner is going to be a waste of money in the end, once the TV companies stop broadcasting over the air with analog signals. Look for HDTV tuners or at least digital tuners. Hauppauge makes some great ones, as well a…

  • Mac2Sell.net is a good resource as far as determining price.
    in MPB CD for sale, only $1500 Comment by abandonedhero July 2007
  • I ordered mine on the 17th and it still hasn't shipped. I'm rather antsy and somewhat frustrated now, but hopefully it won't have any of the bent screen problems I've read about.

  • I went and got the WD Passport 250 GB and it's been great - I've only had one issue with it though, and that's due to the nature of the OS I first connected it to. Vista doesn't work with it. You can't read, write, or even access the HD when connect…

    in Macbook -- White / Black... Comment by abandonedhero July 2007
  • My girlfriend had the same problem with her black MacBook. She took it in and they replaced the battery for her, I'm not sure there's much more you can do beside that, unless you're interested in investing in a new battery.

  • I have found one site that gives recommendations of when to buy, but they base it on updates, not on price. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ Shame on me for linking to another Apple rumors site.

  • Nobody ever really knows. Even if you were to ask Apple store employees, they almost never know. It's just something you have to wait out and/or take a risk.
