OS X :: What Were The Standard Computer Specs From 2000-2009
Nov 7, 2009standard specs for computers, like for both PC and Mac, like compare a laptop/desktop from 2000 (PC) to a Mac at that time, all the way to 2009, well most of the mac stuff would probably be easy but I want to see compare and contrast stuff sort of thing between the 2, since PC's are admittedly, if you have as much money to buy a mac, have really powerful specs compared to an iMac/Mac Pro, but almost every PC laptop pretty much sucks (except alienware, in terms of power and sexiness macbooks/pro win in every aspect, but are still more expensive).

IMac :: 2009 I7 Vs. 2010 I5
Nov 20, 2010I have an opportunity to get a Late 2009 27" i7 (2.8 Ghz) for $1699. I've been looking at the $1999 i5 (also 2.8 Ghz). I know it has a 1Gb Video Card, compared to the 512 MB one on the 2009 i7.
My basic question is, is the i7 worth the lesser video card and cheaper price, compared to the i5 with a stronger video card?
I do a lot of work in Photoshop and iMovie, as well as Illustrator and inDesign. I also will be playing TF2 heavily, and heard that the i7 was great for video and gaming. I'm in the market for an iMac since my Late 2006 Macbook Pro is on the verge of death.
Mac Pro :: Buy 2010 Mac Pro To Run Maya 2009 - 2011?
Sep 4, 2010I'm thinking about buying a new workstation for Maya 2011. I'm looking at either a 2010 Mac Pro 6-core 3.33GHz/ATI Radeon 5870, or a 2010 Mac Pro 12-core 2.93GHz/ATI Radeon 5870. I've been told by Autodesk tech support that although Maya will see all the cores, that its not guaranteed that it will use them, and use them efficiently for rendering. They said that Maya 2011 isn't optimized for processors more than 4-cores.
I just started using Maya last year on OS X, and I find it absurd how slow Autodesk qualifies new hardware and operating systems, not allowing professionals to take advantage of the latest technology that can save a ton of precious rendering time. Has anyone pulled the trigger and purchased a new 2010 Mac Pro for use with Maya 2009-2011? If so, which Mac Pro, and what configuration did you get and Why? What version of Maya are you running? Are you having any problems running Maya, bugs?..................
IMac :: Is 2010 Faster Than 2009
Sep 16, 2010I have a question about the iMac core i7 between both year (2009 and 2010) for 2009 is 2.80GHz Core i7 with 1066 Ram. for 2010 is 2.93GHz Core i7 with 1333 Ram. Is the 2010 faster than 2009 a lot?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Dropping A Westmere Into A 2009 Mac Pro Using 2010 EFI?
Jul 27, 2010Before everyone says "IT DOESNT HAVE B1 STEPPING!!!" hear me out.The new 2010 Mac Pro's that were just released have options for both the 4-8 core and 6-12 core option. This coupled with the fact that nothing has changed other than graphics cards etc. makes me think if someone could extract the EFI code, they could just drop it into an 09 and it would include B1 stepping, so people like me could just drop in a 3.33 Westmere and call it a day.Again, I have no idea about anything EFI, it just seems like much more a possbility now that both the 4-8 core and 6-12 core versions are running on basically the same machine.

Aug 2, 2010According to Apple's Synthetic Performance Tests, Mac Pro 12-core beats the previous generation Mac Pro 8-core by 1,3 (1,2). Which seems pretty normal.
But by doing quite a simple equation, comparing the power of the new MP 8-cores to the previous generation MP 8-core (based on these ∆ 1,3 / 1,2), the new 8-core system seems to be about 0,87 / 0,8 of the previous one, which is considerably less powerful.
Mac Pro :: Easiest Transition From 2009 To 2010?
Aug 3, 2010I received my 2009 Mac Pro the day before the new models were announced. Today I've arranged for its return so that I can get a 2010 model.
I'm trying to work out the easiest / fastest way to get up and running on the new machine.
MacBook Pro :: Is The RAM Transferable Form 2010 To 2009
Aug 28, 2010My GF bought her MacBook Pro earlier this year (February 2010) and I believe her model is the "mid-2009" model. I just bought my MacBook Pro 2 days ago (woohoo!) Both are 13 inch. Question is if I was to upgrade my RAM to 8GB, could I use my old 4gb RAM to replace her 2GB RAM?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Swapping A 2009 10.6.5 Drive To A 2010 6-core?
Nov 12, 2010So my question is -- do you know if this would be an issue swapping drives from a 2009 Mac Pro to a 2010 running 10.6.5 on the drive? Is there an OS performance hit running the 10.6.5 from the 2009's drive on the 2010 Mac Pro?
The reason I ask is because I am upgrading to a 3.33GHz 6-core, it's ordered and on the way. When it comes, I would just like to swap my SSD from my 2009 to the 2010 (running 10.6.5) and hope that everything runs OK. I don't want to have to re-install the new OS X build from the system disks and then update it, I would like it just to work correctly on the new Mac Pro.
MacBook Pro :: 2010 Battery In Late 2009 MBP

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Mid-2009 Versus 2010 -- Any Cosmetic Changes?
Jun 17, 2010I'm just curious, though, as to whether there are any actual differences at all between the aluminum enclosure for the 2010 model and the mid-2009 one. For example, I'm positive the lid on my new MBP feels much heavier when I close it / open it than my previous one did, but I can't wondering if that's just my imagination ("it's new, therefore it must be different somehow").
Having gotten this one as a free replacement for my previous faulty machine (and had AppleCare thrown in too, talk about customer service!), I obviously no longer have my old one, so I can't compare the two side-by-side... so my question is, has anyone who has both models noticed those sorts of little differences, or am I convincing myself there are changes that don't exist?

View 10 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Upgrade MBP 13"2.53ghz4gb 2009 To 13"2.664gb 2010 For Batvid
Apr 22, 2010I have last year's MacBook Pro, that has 13" screen, 2.53 ghz, 4 gb ram, with the 9400 video. I'm wondering if there's compelling enough reason to upgrade it to the newly released 2010 model 13" 2.66 ghz, 4 gb ram, with the 310m video that would get 10 hours of battery rather than my present 7. The other thing I'm considering is when I bought mine I opted for the 5400 rpm hard drive, because I didn't want to lose an hour of my battery. If I do the above upgrade, I'd be apt to also go to 7200 rpm drive, as I think i'd see a noticeable performance boost, and still see a battery increase over my previous model.

I'm also considering upgrading to Snow Leopard but don't really see the point.That inertia scroll thing hers does is pretty cool... other than that everything is pretty much the same to the naked eye after a few hours of use.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: 13" - 2010 Model Versus 2009 Model
Oct 31, 2010I am trying to decide whether to get the 2010 model or the cheaper 2009 model. These are the differences that I've found so far for the base model. For arguments sake, let's say they both have 4gb ram (most people selling them have upgraded to 4gb)
2010: 2.4ghz, longer battery, nvidia 320m
2009: 2.26ghz, (slightly) shorter battery, nvidia 9400m
Having a slightly slower cpu, less battery life (about 7 hours rather than 9) and a slightly weaker gpu don't bother me so much, as I will be mostly using the macbook pro for internet surfing and writing word documents
My question is, are there any other differences? (that would make me go for the 2010 rather than the 2009 model) - maybe differences in the display? shape? something else?
MacBook Pro :: 2009 13" 2.26Ghz Vs. 2010 13" 2.4Ghz?
Jul 15, 2010Dilemma, which is really the better machine.
I know there isn't a great deal in the benchmarks for the two.
But for the price difference I don't know which to go with is the newer one worth the extra $$ ?
The main thing I am trying to get my head around is the Graphics and Memory difference. Basically the 2009 has the 9400M and 2GB of Ram vs. the 2010 which has the 320m and 4GB of Ram.
Is the difference that great?
Mac Pro :: Upgrade 2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz To 2010 6 Core 3.33GHz?
Jul 28, 2010I read that the new 6 core Mac Pro's use 32nm technology.
I guess this means a different mobo to the one in the 2009 4 core models?
Apple are offering an upgrade from 4 core to 6 core on the new models, so I'm wondering if I could do the same to my 2009 model or would it not be as simple to swap out the mobo as I think?
MacBook Pro :: 2010 13" MBP Vs. 2009 15" MBP?
May 4, 2010Would it be better to get a brand new 13" base MBP (2.4gHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 320M GPU) or a 1 year old (used) 15" MBP (2.4gHz C2D, 4G RAM, 256MB 9600 GPU; has 2 years Applecare remaining), assuming they would cost the same?
My primary use would be video editing home movies/photos using iMovie, iPhoto, Aperture 3, and FCE4.
A large part of me says to get the new 13" MBP because, well, it's new; however the 15" still has 2 years Applecare, so I'm covered that way.
MacBook Pro :: 2009 Glossy Screen Versus 2010 Standard Res Glossy Screen
Apr 25, 2010Is there a difference? Anything at all? I would expect Apple to make the 2010 standard res. screens worse in quality and earn more money since they have the higher res. available. I really like the 2009 glossy screen, but i have to be sure it is exactly the same this year. If they did something like that it's typical Apple.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Cost Of The New Mac Pro?
Feb 7, 2009I'm sure if this has been discussed before but I haven't come across the relevant post. Any guess on the price of the new mac pro compared to the current one? In other words, is it expected that the price will also go up to match the improved specs? Or is it still going to be a good / worthwhile deal to wait for the new mac pro.
The reason I'm asking is that if the new mac pro's are going to cost significantly more, then to some the current mac pro and a lower price point might make most logical sense and waiting for the new mac pro is kinda pointless if it pushes it beyond ones budget.
