Selling Macbook Pro For Macbook (Black)


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Basically I have a Macbook Pro 15" C2D 2.33, 2GB RAM and x1600. I have played with the lower end Macs as my Mum and sister both have them, but I haven't used them extensively. I want something I bit smaller and more portable than the Macbook pro and I was just wondering what the downfalls of the Macbook Blacks (or white) are for those who use it everyday. If I don't end up getting a Macbook I'll end up trying to get a Dell XPS 1330 laptop.

And insight would be great! Thanks!

air.

thought about the air for about 2 seconds looked at the clip they have on the site, but 1 usb just doesnt cut it. 2 usb's really isnt enough in the first place but I can at least deal with that.

Things I need are.

VMWare.

Cisco Configuration.

Email, Web.

messenger.

Music

Nothing really graphic intensive.

The Air wouldn't work for you also because most Cisco tools require a serial port. ;)

Exactly and I use a keyspan via USB all the time for the serial port.

I'm thinking of maybe now keeping and using the macbook pro as a desktop type machine and getting the macbook as my laptop.

Good idea, a MacBook Pro is a perfect Workstation Replacement unit, throw a 30-inch display on it and have fun running it headless!

Do they have Wake on LAN while in sleep mode for the Macs? because that would be very handy!

air is the silliest thing i've seen. just get macbook. whats the point of it being thin when you have to lug around a dvd drive? i call that pointless.

What's the point of spending 2 grand for a piece of ****.

Who cares how thin it is?

Get a blackbook, they're pretty cool, and portable :)

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
