View 3 RepliesI know that there are topics asking what is going to be in the next Mac upgrade all the time, but what I wanted to ask you is more about Steve's "The next generation of MacBooks" quote.
It seems that the Back to the Mac philosophy will not apply just to the Air but will go further on the other laptops series.
I definetely see the HDD disappear from the next gen of MacBooks to give space to the SSD cards.
So far all the MacBook can get up to 500GB HDD and the Pros have also the option up to 512GB SDD.
However even if this is quite predictable I would like to know your opinion on another matter: DVDs.
Will Apple gamble on removing the DVD drive or this could be too early?
My old man and I bought 2.4 ghz alu macbooks at the same time. We both have 2gb of ram and would both like to upgrade to 4.
Would it be possible to purchase one set of crucial sticks and then simply take the 2gb original ram from his unit and replace it into mine, utilizing both matched crucial sticks in his computer? Giving us both 4gb.
The MB's were both purchased on the same date and are identical in spec.
I'm stuck between the new Alum MacBooks 2.0 and 2.4.The most intensive app I am going to run is Elgato -- watch, record, burn TV programs -- some sportsI'm not a gamer or photoshopper. Will 2.4 provide any real advantages for my situation over 2.0?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe all know that you could never have enough memory in our computers, so I have a fairly simple question to ask. When OS 10.6.0 comes out a.k.a. Snow Leopard, will all the Intel Core 2 Duo machines have an increased ram capacity. It looks more and more everyday as if 4GB is becoming a standard in machines and all across the board (Dell,Hp,Apple) computer these days are handling 8GB of ram with ease. So does anybody know if when Snow Leopard comes out, will there be a potential for my MacBook to contain 8GB of ram.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's been one year now that I am saving money for a MacBook. Yesterday was my birthday and I finally got enough money to buy myself a brand new Aluminum MacBook 2.4 Ghz (stock configuration) for school/home.I am REALLY excited. I just can't wait to order it online with the student discount !!!But before buying, I was just wondering : when will iLife '09 be preinstalled on the Aluminum MacBooks when you buy it online ? Is it the day they release iLife '09 a.k.a. at the end of January ? I know that you can buy iLife '09 for about 10 bucks after buying a new Mac right now, but I think I can wait until it is preinstalled on new Macs, so I wanted to know if any of you knew when it's gonna happen.

View 24 Replies View Relatedi bought my macbook 13 inch 2.0 core 2 duo one's about 4 month before they refreshed the line and expanded the ram and slapped pro behind it. now am hearing about the whole snow leopard not running in 64 bit at boot up on the macbooks. i know that the chip is design for 64 bit os'es and i know that the hack with 6 and the 4 key won't work on my computer. but am wondering if the macbook line will ever be able to run mac os x in 64 bit. i mean isn't 4 gb or ram the minimum you need . i know that's how it was on window 7 to run it in 64 bit. i was just thinking now i know why they upgraded the macbook line right before snow leopard. one thing i have noticed is that all the apps that are wrote for 64 bit load much quicker then 32 bit apps.so that got me thinking if apple will ever let snow leopard or above run in 64-bit on the non pro macbook? and if it could be done though an upgrade though software update or though the operating system ? what are you guys/girls thoughts on it?
View 22 Replies View RelatedSo we've all read people's stories about dropping macbooks and the consequences, hrrible or otherwise. None of those stories have covered what happened to me, though, so I'm looking for help here.
I dropped my macbook from a height of around six feet. Impressive, especially since there's no physical damage- at least externally. However, whenever I turn it on or wake it up, it makes a sort of choking mechanical sound, like the normal one only louder and more stuttering. It's also the exact same noise every time. This hasn't affected anything except the disc drive, which I can no longer get discs into without them getting hideously scratched. Any ideas on what might have happened/what I can do about it/how mch repairs would be?
Am I just crazy? Or did there used to be 15" MacBooks? I swear there used to be And what ever happened to the black MacBooks? I loved those! They looked much better than the white ones.

I would like to know that if anything was to happen to my soon to have macbook I could change it. Also this on the older macbooks. And if I have Apple to change it how much would it cost? And yes I know that they should replace keyboard case area for free because of the defunct cracking issue.

I have tried everything possible to connect and allow my wife to print from her MacBook, but everytime she goes to print the job stays in the print queue with the notification 'Holding (Authentification Required) next to it. We both connect to the internet via WiFi, same codes, etc.
Driving me loco. Everything with Macs is just supposed 'to work'. It's just this one final step.
