MacBook Pro :: Finding Difference Between CPU Models?

Aug 10, 2010

I understand that some of the early core 2 duo's are different than the current core 2 duo's being used in the current 13" MBP's. I understand that some are T8000 series or T9000 series (I think??).

My question really is what is the difference between the earleir C2D's used and the current ones. Some of the earlier ones seem to have more L2 cache, do the newer ones run on a lower voltage? Have a different chip? Are quicker/slower?

OS X :: The Difference Between These Two Intel G2 SSD Models?

Sep 1, 2009

I've seen the Intel X25-M 160GB SSDSA2MH160G2R5 for sale, as well as the SSDSA2MH160G2C1 for sale, what's the difference?

Edit: apparently R5 is retail and the other is OEM, I'd double check it though.

MacBook Pro :: Finding MBP 13" Screen Models?

Jul 14, 2009

I am about to buy a MBP 13" 2.26ghz, and upgrade the RAM and HDD to 4GB and 250GB on the online store.

I have read that there are different models of screen and that some give washed out colors whereas others are really good.

If I receive my BTO MBP and I find I have one of the bad screens, what can I do

Mac Pro :: Finding CPU Expandability In Models

Jun 23, 2009

I had a question about the design of a Mac Pro. Clearly, they're the choice for someone who'd like to upgrade their machine as time goes by. My question is, for the current design of the MP computers, how well does the logic board scale? Specifically, I was wondering if there were physical differences between the logic boards in MP models with one or two processors. Does the single-processor model contain an unused space for an additional processor, allowing it to be upgraded from 1x to 2x? Or is something like this just unheard of in the hardware world?

Furthermore, what future expandability does the community see for the Nehalem model of processors. Will the socket type continue to be used well into the foreseeable future (say, 4 or so years) by future processors? If I purchase a Mac workstation, I'd like to be sure of the details for what is arguably the most static element to their modular design--the CPU.

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 Air :: Cloning SSD From Pro - Finding Transferring Difference

Oct 23, 2010

Would there be any problems cloning the SSD of a 13" MacBook Pro over to the SSD of an 11" MacBook Air?

The SSD is a 240GB OWC (only 80GB used) and I'm getting the 128GB MBA.

Are there issues cloning and transferring between different systems?

Nov 2, 2010

So I still haven't decided on which air I want yet.

If I go for the 11.6in, is the upgrade from 1.4GHz to 1.6GHz worth $100?

It seems very minimal to me but I'd like some thoughts.

MacBook Air :: Finding Difference With Voodoo Envy 133

Oct 5, 2008

Voodoo:

2 USB, 1 Express Slot, Wireless Hub Power Brick
Removable Battery
Instant-On OS

MacBook Air:

Runs OS X

I really can't think of much more than that for the Air. I love OS X and thats why I haven't bought either. Mind you this is ignoring that Apple may release an update soon for the MBA cause if they do then I have my answer. But if they don't I don't know which I want! I love aluminum, but I am not a fan of the rounded corners apple put on the MBA.

MacBook Pro :: Finding Major Difference Between 256 And 512 MB Of Graphics RAM?

Jul 23, 2009

I just have a quick question. I'm ordering a Macbook Pro this weekend and saw that one had a little beefier 512 MB of RAM instead of 256 dedicated for the graphics card.

I really hope Starcraft 2 isn't too graphic intensive and that the 256 would be enough to handle it. That's really the only game I plan on buying to play on here.

MacBook Pro :: Finding Internal Temp Difference (lid Open Versus Lid Closed)?

Sep 4, 2009

I was considering picking up this stand for my uMBP:

One thing that concerned me was having higher CPU temps with the lid closed.

I read a thread a few days ago that said there is no CPU temp change between lid closed and lid opened. And after doing some of my own testing I now believe that information is FALSE.

I use smcFanControl to control fan speed and monitor CPU temp.

Before using smcFantControl to boost my fan speed to constantly run at 3,400RPM, my CPU temp was 10-20 degrees (celsius) higher, on average.

Mac Pro :: Finding Big Difference In 2.66 To 2.93?

Jan 29, 2010

I'm looking at second hand 2009 quad mac pros. I'm not sure if 2.66 has a massive disadvantage over the 2.93. The thing is, I'm buying this for quite a long run (I work with audio/ Logic pro). I'm thinking that the 2.93 will be more future proof? Does anyone have any experience with the two?

I was just curious what the main differences were between the applications Deeper and Onyx? Onyx seems to be the same thing, with a few more features. Is there something that Deeper can do, that Onyx can't?

Also one more random question.. does Transparent Dock work on OS X 10.4.9, and does it allow you to change the color like Cleardock?

How To Identify MacBook Pro Models

Apr 16, 2012

I'm trying to figure out which Model of Mac I have so I can install more RAM, but the chart given is conflicting. I have a 17" Macbook Pro that I bought from BestBuy with Model Identifier "MacBookPro6,2" but I look on this chart here, and the only 6,2 is a 15" Model.� I don't get it.For the most part, the "MacBook Pro6,1" defines my hardware I guess, but I'm concerned as to why there is no 6,2 17" on the chart when clearly I own one.

Info:
MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

MacBook Pro :: Swapping HDDs Between Different Models ?

Jan 20, 2010

I have a Mid-2007 MBP... I upgraded it to a 500gb HDD some time ago and I'm currently running 10.6.2.

If I were to buy a new MBP (hopefully a Core i5 one if/when they come out), would it be possible to simply swap the HDD from the old MBP into the new one?

I'm aware that Time Machine and/or imaging products like Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper are ways of achieving the same thing, but I'm interested whether the physical hard drive swap would work in theory.
