the best possible mac laptop?


Recommended Posts

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)

I think $1000 for ram is a rip off so i think ill get a ssd hdd instead, would blu ray be available ? and the apple time machine device what's that about? how does it work? is it worth it? I really want something for back up i use my iphone as back up right now lol

tips on NLHE?

i prefer 17" because I use a slingbox, and download alot of tv shows/movies usually 720/1080p rips

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.

well I saw people getting 4gb ram ddr3 mac compatible for $300 on newegg? and I was talking about that time machine device not the program.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC343/Time-Capsule-1TB?mco=MTMzNzQ4OTg

sorry I just realized its called time capsule.

I would put the biggest Solid State Drive they offer as well as Max Ram, Max Processor, 15" glossy, remote control, + 24" led display

:D

I would also wait till January 2010 too see what apple releases with the Nehalem Chipsets.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
