Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Cool, what do you do with it and how does it perform? Thinking of getting one. Not sure whether to get the 2.66 Quad or the 2.26 Octo :s

Mostly photo editing, InDesign and other stuff for college. Some casual gaming as well. Overal it performs very well. If you don't use applications that make full use of 8-cores the 2.66 GHz Quad is probably a better investment than the 2.26 GHz 8-Core, not to mention faster. A friend of mine even managed to install regular 4 GB memory cards into his Quad Mac Pro without any modifications.

Holy gezz dude. We almost have the exact same set up. Same laptop, laptop stand, keyboard, mouse, hell even my tabletop color is the same!

I love your taste. :laugh:

Maybe he broke into your crib and took the pictures???

Hurry home and check on your stuff, quick!!!!

Quick update, I will post some better pics later:

Main Workstation:

New March 2009 Mac Mini, recently upgraded to 4GB of RAM.

2 new Viewsonic 22" 1080P LCDs running at 1920x1080 (that resolution was a major purchasing decision)

March 2007 MacBook Pro, recently upgraded to 2GB of RAM (just got a brand new battery compliments of the Apple Store, it started swelling like the last one)

July 2008 iPhone 3G 16GB

There are some other Macs and *nix boxes scattered throughout the house, I will post some better pics this weekend.

As a new mac user who had a system bought for me at work:

* I have a nice metal laptop that says MacBook Pro - and it rocks so hard!

* I have a wireless metal keyboard that is a dream to type on.

* I have a wired mouse with no visible buttons and a rinky-dink roller wheel. I dislike it's right-click movement.

* I'm plugged into this vast display that I have to lean around to see what's goin on around the office.

I am being facetious, but I am new to Macs, been using it about a week, and feel like "Wow, why have I not been using these all my life?". But then went to the Apple Store and saw the price tags...

Shame, cos I would 100% convert my home setup otherwise :(

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
