Mac OSX Discussion

lol. do you think 13" is too small? orrr do you think i should save up for a macbook pro and go for 15"

We just answered that question. Its not small because the screen is glossy, the resolution is fairly low and the colors are crisp.

MacBook Pro's cost much more... if you really want to you can save up, because a macbook pro is much better. But its your choice at this point

righto. ill go for the macbook.

yep, go for the macbook, it might seem pretty small, 13", but you get used to it, and it doesn't bother you anymore, trust me i've had the same problem. Furthermore, if you look at the specs, the default macbook has 1gb of RAM, bu tunlike windows, mac OSX doesn't drain as much RAM, so it is pretty fast. However, if you really want to boost this beast up some more, one 1gb of ram only cost around $25-$40 here is a link to Kingston for the RAM. Anyway, the processor is great and Macs are great for the entertainment, now the problem is to adapt to Mac OSX, if you're used to Windows, it'll probably take you 2-3 days to get really used to the OS. Hope this helps wink

Haha yeah true.

thanks, i might grab an extra 1-2GB RAM extra.

lol now i cant wait to get one smile

If there is something i learned from buying computers, is that RAM doens't matter, cuz for 20 bucks you have already 1 or 2 gb.

I had to get the Macbook Pro I use for school, simply because the university I go to requires all graphic design majors to purchase one (Macbook or Macbook Pro ) but in reality I would like to get a 24in iMac love

it all depends how far away you are from entering college
