MacBook Pro :: Translate The Differences Into User Terms Versus Tech Specs?
Jul 5, 2012
I have a MBP, bought in '06, that is dying a slow death (crashing constantly). I'm not up on what the latest spec's mean in terms of USER EXPERIENCE. Apple doesn't seem to know how to market to me--no product comparisons (in direct user experience vs. tech spec's), no analogies, no examples of how new MBPs and Airs differ or what their targeted user profile really is.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

list the differences between the 15" and 17" MBP's, with focus on the high res matte options.
The obvious difference is the larger&higher resolution display on the 17" and the extra 1.0 pound of weight and about $100 extra. The 17" also has no USB reader slot, but eSATA. The 17" is also 0.1" thicker.

I've heard that there have been some differences between the older and newer Macbook screens - I'm thinking about buying a reburb unibody macbook and want to know how significant the difference is. If it's big enough I'll use my student discount to get a new mac with an iPod and then sell the iPod for the price difference, but that is a lot more work and initial money spent vs just getting a refurb. Does anyone have any experience with both?

It appears that a "System" user can read & write but there is no such user or any way I can see how to become a system user.
Infact as far as I can tell there are no System users, only me as Admin.

Im planning to get the MBA soon. But IF I were to buy the MBP should I go with the new advanced faster 128GB SSD or trusted slower and cheaper 500GB or 700GB SATA? What are the differences?Worth the $$$ of upgrade? I'm fine as long as it runs smoothe (as in not waiting for [URL] to load for 2 min.), and which one will LAST LONGER.

I called Apple tech support about the screeching noise I started hearing more than once out of my Air. This was posted by someone else and there is a youtube video floating around also. I am going to take it to the Apple store to have them look at it, but I also asked the rep about operating temp range.
He said that spikes up to 90 degrees are normal, but if it startes to climb or stay in the 90-100 range, then someone should take a look at it.
Not sure how reliable this is, but thought I would mention it.

I have a Powerbook G4 running Panther OS 10.3.9 I don't receive the entire warning that was pictured in the prior thread ? RE: this [URL], just the Incorrect Valence (-61) from Tech Tools. Will the fix described for Tiger also work on my Panther 10.3.9 Powerbook? Also- can I upgrade to Leopard straight from Panther, or do I need to buy all of the newer versions to get there? (I'm hopin' to be able to have someone at the Apple store do that, as I don't have alot of $$ to upgrade...).

I want to change the screen on my 13" MBP. Has anyone changed their screen from glossy to matte via Techrestore? If yes, what has been your experience? Also, is there any other company that offers the same service?

I've been looking around for a new keyboard cover for my macbook and I was wondering which company offers the best fitment/tactile feedback.
I've heard of...KB Covers
iSkin
Moshi Clearguard
Marware
Rearth Verco
zCover
So far, I've purchased one off eBay and a Logiix branded one, but I'm not completely satisfied with either one. I don't like how the molding for each key from the eBay one is slightly larger than the actual keys, and that it leaves an imprint on the LCD when the lid is closed, however, it is quiet and typing doesn't require any extra effort. The Logiix one resembles Moshi's Clearguard, where the fitment for the Fn keys is slightly longer at the top. The molding for this one fits like a glove, but typing feels unnatural and it is noticeably noisier. I think the noise comes from the silicone being pinched between the small gap around each key when they are pressed. Typing seems to require more effort because of this. I would like to know if other brands with an exact keyboard fit molding also suffer from this noise issue. Looking around for reviews, I am now somewhat interested inRearth Verco's product. They explain that their silicone molding's thickness around the edges of each key is much thinner than it is in the centre, therefore it requires less effort to press each key. From photos, it appears that the Moshi's Clearguard also has this design.

I was wondering whether there is a widget for Google Translate? I've tried to Google for it but didn't came with anything useful.
In-build translator is kinda lame, doesn't translate a lot of words.

I've had a Mac Pro for 2.5 years. I've never run diagnostics or de-fragged the HD like I did with my old G4. I called AppleCare to ask if I should do this periodically (I have the Tech Tool "light" disk that came w/Apple Care, and I often hear ads for $99 Tech Tool Pro).

I would like to use the Mavericks Dictation & Speech to translate an existing interview I conducted.
I have both a .wav and .aif format.
I can't figure out if it's possible to launch the Notes app or Word, start playing my audio file through whatever app I have and have it transcribe.

So I have a 1.8ghz dual G5 with 3gb of ram for work. I mainly work in Adobe CS and do a far amount of Photoshop work. At any given time I may have all of Adobe CS plus Office and a few other apps running -- and a gazillion fonts. Went to the store and saw the new 24" iMac. How would a new iMac compare to my late '04 1.8DP G5? On that same note, how would a new MacBook Pro compare to the above?

In real world usage, is there really any difference in the Processor Speed on the MBAir. Throughout the years, the speed differences being apart .2 GHz were negligable. Anyone here have a 1.6 with the SSD notice any crippling/adverse effects to there everyday computing. I am looking at ordering the MB Air this week, but purchasing the MB Air with the 1.6 GHz and SSD make it easier to justify by saving costs on the processor upgrade.

First the Obvious;
1. New AC Plugin (on both ends, wallplug is completely smooth now)
2. Different Internal Hardware
3. Better Battery Life
4. Optional Higher Resolution Screens
5. Optimus like Hybrid GPU switching
Kinda Obvious, but some may have missed;
1. Inertial Scrolling
2. Little bit heavier
3. Activity Monitor shows 4 Cores not 2
You'd really have to look;
1. This may just be me, but I feel as if the hinge is different, in terms of pressure right before you close it. Picture below shows a 2.8 duo left and an i5 right. I have been playing with them for a while now, and some of the other 2.8's and it seems right before you close the lid, the new i5's have more of a push required, so as to slow the force in close. That way you don't slam it closed.
2. Wifi seems to get an active working connection quicker
3. Microphone and Headphone input jacks have much more "snap" to them. Devices really snap in there so you know you're connected.

I'm eyeing today's new Airs, and wondered about the processor options. I believe that both have Hyper Threading, enabling four simultaneous threads. Is that right? So what makes the i7 an i7, and the i5 an i5? The only difference listed is clock speed / Turbo Boost speed, but I'm guessing there's something else too?

Are there any positive or/and negative differences between old & new efi & smc for the MBA?
- Is the grafic improved (thin stripes on the display)?

Does anyone know of any web sites that compare temperature differences between the i5 and i7 cpu's used in Macbook Pros?I am still on the fence on if I should get the i5 or i7. I don't own a Mac laptop now and have heard that they get quite hot. I am wondering if the i5 at the lower clock speed would run cooler.I have poked around on google with no luck. Anyone have any insight?

I'm looking for a new monitor to go with my MBP, and I'm stuck trying to choose between the ones listed above.
The 2407WFP is a couple of years old now I guess, but it's the rev A04 version, which supposedly fixed the (few) problems with what was otherwise meant to be a great screen. It's an sPVA screen.
I've heard good reviews of the G2410, with its LED backlighting. It's still a TN panel and I hear so much bad stuff about them.
The 2209WA is an eIPS panel which I like the sound of, but it's smaller and lower resolution.
The F2380 is a cPVA panel, the image quality looks better but I've heard bad things about blacks on this panel.

Under average useage (browsing the web, typing a letter, writing an email, editing photos in iPhoto, using Photoshop Elements etc.) what difference would the user see by switching to the 9600M GT card over the 9400M?
I ask cos, in the nine months I've owned this MBP, I had never bothered switching to my 9600. I've now done it and notice no difference whatsoever.
