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.

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
