Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased an iMac 27 inch ... i5 Quad Core 2.8ghz. 4gb Ram (will be upgrading to 8gb this coming few weeks). 1tb Hard Drive. Radeon HD 5750 (1tb) Graphics card. I got it with the Magic Mouse, which I hated at first, but now love (after installing Magic Prefs!).

I LOVE this thing! :D I've used Windows computers since ... well ... I started on DOS 5 on an Amstrad 1512, and have been on DOS and then Windows PC's literally for 26 years now (I'm 32), but I swear, I'll never buy another Windows PC again. This has opened my eyes. I used to be a serious Apple hater too. lol

Slightly Updated Hardware - I'll grab new photos in a bit!

15" MacBook Pro

2.66Ghz Core i7

4GB RAM (8GB on order)

120GB OCZ Vertex 2

500GB Second Drive (No ODD)

GeForce GT 330M 512MB

24" iMac

2.8GHz Core2Extreme

3GB RAM

500GB HDD

ATI Radeon 2600XT

32GB Wifi+3G iPad

Self explanatory :)

Here's mine. Only fairly recently bought an iMac (and I absolutely love it). I won't go as far as saying I'll always use a mac, because I used to think I'd never use another browser except for Firefox and now I use Chrome..

My iPhone would be in its dock but I used it to take the pic

I think it's more about the set-up than the Apple hardware.

Indeed, and posting a bunch of product names and some specs doesn't tell a lot about your set-up, at least not to me, I can imagine quite a few more think of a picture of your desktop/workspace one you say set-up and not some specs. :)

It's been some time and while not much ... well nothing... has changed on the hardware-side (same old late-2009-MacBook Pro 13", MagicMouse, same Logitech Z4 speakers...) I moved to a new apartment, got a new desk and some new lamps. Oh and the TV... I don't actually watch TV... It's more like some accessory that looks nice because it's so old. I don't even know if it still works, has been in my new place when I moved in, didn't even turn it on once...

And oh yeah, it actually looks like that. I like to keep things clean and organized.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
