MacBook Pro :: Difference Between The 15' And The 13'?

Jan 24, 2010

I'm kinda' new to the whole audio recording process and I'm leaning more towards the 13' MBP bc the only difference between the 15' and the 13' is an optical in line. So, what does the optical line in do? And is it worth the extra $200 because i do not think 2' of monitor space is?

They are all in the same category of ram on neweggs site but in the reviews some people say they work for the MBP and others say they do not.

I have the newest 2010 MBP 17 i5. I'd like to spend the least amount of money but have great performance and quality.

This is what I have been looking at.

Aug 16, 2009

Looking to upgrade my ram from a 2 gigs to 4 gigs. Was wondering if it would make a noticeable difference. I dont do anything graphic heavy. I only use the laptop for one or two games (sims 3, roller coaster tycoon) and alot of youtube and web surfing. Would upgrading to two gigs be beneficial for me?

MacBook Pro :: Practical Difference In SSD Vs HDD

Apr 17, 2010

I just ordered my "17i5" (a nice shorthand there) with the 128GB SSD. I've been noticing here and there on these forums about people being worried about using SSD with large files, needing a lot of disk usage (I.e. Scratch disk), and limiting the amount of overall data one puts on the drive.This will be my first experience with an SSD computer. Do I actually need to worry about any of this? In terms of general usage, shouldn't the SSD be simply a much faster and energy efficient disk drive? I will of course keep in mind the normals things, like making sure not to drop below 5GB of remaining storage (OS X doesn't like that even with a standard platter hard drive - though I think that has to do with the writing RAM contents upon Sleep, which I disable anyway).

Hardware :: Difference Between Macbook And Pro?

Oct 31, 2008

I went out the other day and bought the new macbook pro with the 2.8GHz processor and the solid state upgrade but now I have questions about it. On the keynote address, steve said that there will be two graphics cards in it. How do I know which one I'm using? Also what is the difference between the macbook and the macbook pro? One last question-Why didn't Apple update the 17" macbook pro? On a different note, I hate how the Macbook looks like the macbook pro. I know why apple did that-its because they sell more macbooks then pro's so they like care about the regular macbook owners being happy much more then the macbook pro owners but for someone like me who can pay the extra money, it does suck because I don't feel anymore special.

What is the Difference between an lcd screen for a Macbook pro 15 A1150 and an A1226? I need to know if I have to buy a A1150 LCD replacement or will any macbook pro 15.4 screen work as long as it is a TFT LCD 1440 by 900. I know the LED screens won't work. The A1226 screens seem more common and easier to find. My model of Macbook is a A1150/MA464LL/A 2.0GHZ.

MacBook Pro :: Is Adding A SSD The Sole Difference

Oct 25, 2010

after trying them out at the Apple Store, I find myself somewhat interested in the new 13" MBA (w/4 GB RAM) primarily because of its lightness, overall speed increase and the "instant-on" and power standby features.Aside from the obvious difference in weight, processor (2.4 vs 1.86) and connectivity options, is the MBA's speed difference vs my MBP purely due way, if I simply added an OWC SSD to my MBP, would my MBP then equal or surpass the speed gains on the MBA

MacBook :: Whitebook 2.1 Or 2.4 - Finding The Difference?

Jan 13, 2009

I'm going to eventually buy a reburb white Macbook and I am contemplating between the 2.1GHz and the 2.4. As far as the ram and hdd are concerned, I plan on putting a bigger drive in and upping the ram to 4gb, so the only difference left is the .3Ghz.

The money saved by going with a 2.1 would just about cover the 4gb and a good 320GB HDD.

My plans for this laptop are: surfing, some work in Windows (thus the ram), itunes, iweb, iphoto... no gaming planned, I'm just not a gamer.

MacBook :: Technical Difference Between Air / Pro's Screen?

Apr 29, 2009

It is widely known that the macbooks screen has poor viewing angles and black glowing problems. I found an article that explains why this is so and why the macbook air does not have this problem. Originally all TN based lcd screens suffered from this. To help this problem manufacturers came up with the idea of adding additonal films to fix these viewing angle difficulty which increased the viewing angle threshold before that screen inversion occured (black becoming white/white becoming black and so forth). This article gives a technical explanation of it.Quote:Birefringent film increases LCD viewing angleSunny BainsTwisted-nematic liquid-crystal displays (TN-LCDs) have two major disadvantages when being viewed by more than one person. The viewing angle of the display is limited, and there are gray-level "inversion zones" in which black becomes white and vice versa. Researchers at the Fuji Photo Film Company Ashigara Research Laborato- ries (Kanagawa, Japan) have developed a method of pre- and postcompensating for the birefringence of liquid crystal, thereby increasing the viewing angle but without sacrificing brightness.

The link between birefringence and viewing angle in a TN-LCD is not obvious. Displays are generally backlit with a wide-angle light source. The light first passes through a polarizer that discards about half of it and allows the remainder to pass. This light is now polarized parallel to the direction of the liquid-crystal alignment at the bottom of the liquid-crystal cell. The orientation of the crystal changes gradually, however, twisting and tilting so that the alignment at the to�of the cell is perpendicular to that at the bottom. The polarization of the light will be rotated with the orientation of the liquid-crystal molecules. The light can then emerge through a polarizer at the to�of the cell, which is crossed with the polarizer at the bottom.

This technique only works properly, however, for light coming in at right angles to the cell. Though light entering at, say, 30 has the same nominal polarization as the light that is normally incident--because it passed through the same polarizer--the 30 light experiences the liquid-crystal cell very differently. The polarization components are effectively tilted and so are not as compatible with the birefringence of the tilted, twisted-nematic liquid-crystal molecules. Instead of being neatly turned, the polarization of wide-angle light can be severely skewed by the cell, with perpendicularly polarized components being "pulled" in different directions. Such unwanted manipulation means that much less of this light makes it through the second polarizer and so into the corresponding output angle for the display.

The only way to work around this problem is to make the light travel through the same kind of chemical structure but with opposite (negative) birefringence properties (see Fig. 1 on p. 53). In this way, any polarization skew can be inverted and subsequently neutralized. Fuji researcher Hiroyuki Mori has accomplished this by using a negatively birefringent discotic compound--a substance made u�of disk-shaped molecules--and tilting them to emulate the liquid-crystal structure.1,2 The "twist" is achieved by "crossing" the films--matching their orientations to the rubbing (alignment) direction of the to�and bottom of the liquid-crystal cell (see Fig. 2).

By using the compensator film, Mori was able to enhance the vertical and horizontal view zones of a TN-LCD and completely eliminate the upper inversion zone. For instance, the upward vertical angle at which the contrast ratio dropped to 10 (from 100) increased from about 25 with a normal display to 40. The lower inversion zone, which could appear when viewed from almost any angle below the normal, was pushed down so that it could never be seen above -20. It could not be eliminated, however, because the compensation film is not active and cannot, therefore, compensate for pixels that are off.

Though making the compensation film switchable is not currently being researched, other improvements are possible. In particular, Mori`s simulations show that birefringence compensation would be more effective if the "twist" of the compensator more accurately imitated that of the liquid crystal.This is now referred to as TN+FILM and is used in almost every desktop lcd.

The macbook does not have those compensation films which is why it has a poor contrast ratio and has poor viewing angles. The macbook pro and air have these additional films as do most non apple computers with the exception of a fewer low end manufacturers.

MacBook :: Replace Ata Hd - Difference Between ATA HD And SATA HD?

I have a Macbook white Early 09' (February) and apple says that it is a ATA Hardrive which I thought was ridiculous because almost all laptops have SATA Hardrives and some people on the forum talk about replacing there white macbook's hardrive which is a ATA Hardrive with a SATA Hardrive. I want to replace my 120GB ATA HD with a new one , but is it possible to replace a ATA HD WITH A SATA HD?, OR is there no difference?

MacBook Pro :: Difference Between 2.26ghz And 2.53ghz?

Jul 23, 2009

my macbook just crapped out on me so I am looking to buy one of the unibody macbook pro's and I want to know which one to get. I want one of the 13" screens.

Both models look the same besides the processor speed which is only about a .27 difference and some memory and hard drive differences which I can upgrade for cheaper on my own. Is this something that is worth paying the $300 difference or should the 2.26 save me some money and just upgrade the memory and hard drive and suffice just the same?

I want to get opinions because I'd like to save a couple bucks if I could if it's not that much of a deal breaker.

MacBook Pro :: Difference Between Normal And TFT Screen?

Jan 16, 2010

I have myself a unibody macbook 13'' and was searching for a unibody macbook pro 13" because of the longer battery life. On an auction site I've found a company that sells a unibody macbook pro 13" with a TFT screen and a resolution of 1280 x 800.

Now I have searched on the internet, but I couldn't find anything about a TFT screen on a 13" unibody. My question is: what is the difference between a normal LED-screen and a TFT-screen. Should I go for it of is the quality much worse?
