MacBook Pro :: Finding Best Backpack For 15
Aug 18, 2010
Since I just got my new i7 mbp, I really want a good backpack to take my mbp to college, trips, etc.. Since there are so many different types of notebook packpacks, I really want one that someone can recommend me. I want a backpack that is really safe for my mbp. For example, a backpack that can handle the notebook with books. The one I saw recently was the aftpack from speck. But I want to make sure If I can get something better than the aftpack, or not.

What kind of backpacks do you guys use for your MBP? I have a 2.4 17', and I really would like a backpack. I looked at [URL], and they're packs are pretty sweet; although, they are a bit expensive. Does anyone have one and would like to give me some reviews on it?

I saw someone with a crumpler backpack a couple of days ago with a built in bit for your laptop.
Does anyone know which model(s) this may be?

Not bought my MBP just yet (waiting for credit card) but Im looking at a backpack to protect it.I need space for the essentials for the laptop (charger, mouse , ... ) and also room for at least a big water bottle (1.5 litres) and a lunch box as I like to take food to work and be very hydrated during the day :P . Does any one know of a back pack that could meet my demands?I want something with plenty of padding, looking to also consider actually getting a light weight cover for the laptop to protect it from scratches too..

Yes I know that is a tall order, but is there a backpack out there which looks nice, accommodates the macbook pro 15" and also a fair amount of room for school books?

I'm going to the Apple store to purchase a 13" laptop today! Thanks to those who offered their opinions.Now I'm in the market for a laptop sleeve and backpack. I'm one of those people who like to buy things that are still made in America, and I've found two products that fulfill that.Chrome Backpacks and Colcasac Sleeves
Are these products worth the price premium? The reason I'm interested in the Chrome Backpacks is that they say they are weather proof (which is important for where I live) and extremely tough. Does anyone have experience with Chrome products? Also, I'm not sure which size to get. I'll probably need to fit in a text book, a macbook, and a few single subject notebooks.
Now onto the Colcasac products. Once again, does anyone have experience with this companies products? Do they offer nice protection? I'm open to suggestions so feel free to try and sell me on a particular company or item.

If I put my comp on sleep mode, could I put it in my backpack and move around? OR is the hard drive still actively on and it may dmg my cpu/hard drive?

Check this bag out, I though I was looking at a catalog of their products but this is all ONE bag that transforms into different ones, it's $285 which is not bad considering how much you can do with it check it out: [URL] tell me what you think it fits 13" to 17" macbooks

Well the time has come to change the Hard Drive in my late 2009 MAcbook. Seems that 250GB got filled up much faster then I expected and I'm left with only 40 GB or so. With that I'd like to swap out to old drive for either a 320 or 500 GB one. but I"m not sure exactly which drive to buy and what exactly will fit. The advice from the members of this forum has been invaluable to me in the past so here I am again. What would you all recommend?

have any macbook air owners here found that 2GB ram is inadequate for their needs?I'm thinking it should be fine for me now, but i'm just worried say 2 years down the road if the 2GB ram will be enough, since ram is not upgradeable on the MBA.
i know the MBA is the machine I want, but i'm afraid of spending 2500 on a notebook which isn't very futureproof.

I am thinking about buying a SSD to install in my late 2008 aluminum macbook. Specs are 6GB of ram, 2.4 GHZ processor, and the standard 250GB hard drive which I believe is 5400 RPMs. So my question is, is it worth it? Will I see that much of a performance improvement? I don't reboot that often. I currently am using 92GB of my 250GB hard drive. So I would probably only need like a 160GB or 200GB SSD. Also if I do get one which one would be a good one to get. What should I look for in features.

I've had my 2010 Macbook since it launched and this thing just attracts grime and scratches. I literally left my Macbook on my desk for a day and all of a sudden it has two jagged scratches near the apple just by sitting on desk!
Now after that happened, I bought a Caselogic sleeve to protect it when not in use but now I have a green stain near the power indicator on the side of the palm rest. I tried cleaning it off with soap and water, it didn't work.
Then I googled it and I heard toothpaste might take out stains, so I tried that and it came off now but then it returned a couple of days later when I wasn't using the sleeve, so I figured it's not the problem. Cleaned it again with toothpaste and now there's a just a faint green stain I just can't get rid of.

I've been using a PC all my life. I currently have a 5 year old Dell 3100 desktop. I've decided to make the switch to a Mac. I have a lot of problems with my current computer, but it's 5 years old so it's expected I guess.
I'm pretty much decided on the Macbook Pro 13 inch model. I'm not a "hardcore professional" computer user, but more of a personal user. Here are some of my concerns:
1. I'm leaning towards the 2.4 Ghz model. The upgrade to a 2.66Ghz with an extra 50 Gb hard-drive is several hundred $$$ more expensive. Do you guys think the added $$ is worth the little extra processor speed and hard-drive size for a non-professional user?
2. Some people are telling me to wait for the 2011 Macbook Pro to be released. Obviously nobody knows exactly when that will be. I can wait a few months, but I'm not sure how much would change. Some people seem to think the processor on the 13' model is "outdated" and needs an i5 or i7. 2011 is just around the corner, so perhaps it might be worth "waiting" to see what upgrades come available.

I have a 2.4GHz MBP, 4GB RAM, 320M, 500GB HDD. This is my main to-go machine, as well as my clamshell with my ACD. I am planning on ordering 2 updates for the machine (Already ordered the first one, actually)
1. 500GB 7200.4 RPM Seagate w/16MB Cache.
2. 8GB OWC RAM upgrade.
I hear both of these are ridiculously easy upgrades to do, and this also allows me to upgrade my PS3 slim's HDD to 500GB!
Do you guys think this is a worthwhile upgrade for someone who writes code in XCode?
Also, does anyone know how to back up my iWeb site so I don't have to remake it when I format?

So I finally made a choice and have decided I'll go ahead and get the 13' MBP to tide me over till I get my iMac and then use it as my portable.
I've been looking into some upgrades I could do though, looking to stay below 200$. I'm fairly sure I could do all of these fairly easily, especially with all the how to guides online, but are there any caveats that perhaps you more seasoned Mac upgradees would know?
[URL]
I'm thinking about putting this HDD from OWC into it in order to upgrade to 7200 rpm and also triple the storage capacity. (For less than Apple's 500gb 5400 rpm HDD) I would keep the other HDD to switch back into the MBP incase I ever need to send it to Apple -- will there be any problems with this configuration?
And then I'll probably upgrade the RAM to 6gb. But there shouldn't be any problems with that, unless having a 2gb and 4gb stick together will create problems.
I may get a very small SSD to boot from somewhere down the line...But I'll probably cross that road whenever I decide to sell this model and buy a new MBP. I don't want to spend too much on an outgoing processor.

1 apple tv and both MacBooks are unable to find my network.
My extreme is 10 feet away.... My apple tv in the bedroom finds it fine. My iMac in the bedroom as well finds it.
All 3 iPhone are running fine as well as the iPad that sits in the living room as well...
I went into airport utility and my MacBook pro can't find any airport devices.

Ive been reading a few different posts on the forum with regards to this, but thought I would ask the question anyway.
Just got my first MAC, Got the 13". Decided I didnt want to wait anymore, If the new ones are that good then I might sell the 13" in 12 months and get one of the new 15"s.

Now that I have my air I'm looking around for storage. I thought it would be nifty if there was a wireless NAS solutions that I could just carry around in my laptop pack and have the Air find it automatically with out the need for using the USB port. It doesn't look like there are any that are battery powered (yet), and some of them are far to clunky to be a portable option. Anyone have any experience or suggestions?

Would work well on my Macbook Pro. I have a 2.2 Ghz Macbook Pro with the 128 MB VRAM. I know that it says that it needs 256 MB but will it work at all? I would have to run it in Parallels. I doubt it will work though. So does anyone have any alternatives?

I'm wondering if the Rev. A MacBook Air's have the new features using the multitouch trackpads (like four-finger expose and all that)? I remember reading somewhere that the rev. A MBA's have the same technology driving their trackpads as the new MB's/MBP's.

Before, I used to use a Tablet PC to "ink" complex math equations and notes. Since Apple does not have a Tablet PC equivalent (I'm aware of modbook), is there an application for Math where I can type equations?
