A highly customized MBP should be a beast among the current Apple line. According to Apple Store the best MBP you can get will cost around $4,398.00 and includes:

3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB

500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm

SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RW)

MacBook Pro 17-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen DisplaApple LED Cinema Display (24? flat panel)

Optionally you can forget about the extra display and just use the cash for something else.

BTW, can you show me some ti:p? :p

The best is usually the biggest and most expensive MacBook Pro - BUT... People have their different definition of 'best'.

I'd personally never buy the 17 inch one, even if money is no object. There's one to the right of me, and it's just too big and heavy to be used as a laptop. It's always sat on a desk here.

He is right and because of that I did another custom one but now based on the 15 inch model. For $3,299.00 you get:

3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB

500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm

SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RWMacBook Pro 15-inch Antiglare Widescreen Displayb>

And save another 1000 bucks that can go either to savings, debts or getting a Cinema Display and a SSD drive ($4,798.00 total with these two)

Time Machine is a set of system backups. It's like System Restore on Windows. It basically makes snapshots of your system at different times, so if you have a problem, you can 'go back' to an earlier config.

It works with any hard drive, so there is no cost involved other than the cost of a hard drive. I'd use it for safety.

Blu ray is not available on OS X right now, but it may be in the future. Also, $1000 for a twin set of 4GB sticks of Apple compatible DDR3 memory is actually about right.

    • Politically funny images of the World

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a **** bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By Defiantly · Posted

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.
