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 :)

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
