OT: Which 15' MacBook Pro Do I Want?
Comments (22)Golddust, Too fun-nay! I have my very 1st Mac - an SE30 (this is an all in one with a black and white, 9-inch display, for those who need to brush up on their Mac history ;-) - sitting right next to my Mac G5 (earlier version of the Mac Pro, the current mama of all Macs), that I'm typing this on. I have no doubt I could fire that 21 year old baby up tomorrow and it would run like a top - S-L-O-W - but it would run ;-) Got the original keyboard, mouse and cable, and I bet if I looked hard enough I could find the software somewhere around here, not sure about the manuals ;-) I'm terribly interested in your BIL's baby - do you know how old and what size his monitor is? Mine is the largest sold at the time (approx. 8 years ago - yep, I'm using an EIGHT YEAR OLD, albeit top-of-the-line, Macintosh and it runs better than any PC I've ever used, period, the end), a first generation 30" Cinema Display and I use it as a TV/DVD/DVR too - is he planning on using it this way or has he already got it set up? If already set, I would really enjoy hearing the specifics or, if not, I can make recommendations based on my experience (and would provide an email addy if you want to take this off-forum, JLMK, I don't work for any software or hardware company, just so you know). BTW, all of the software I use, even the ancient OS 9 apps mostly fill my 30-inch Cinema Display. I suspect there is a display settings change needed. I'm running (an older) OS10.4.11, aka "Tiger" (so I can keep my OS 9 apps, even though most are laughable crutches at this point), but I've been using this Mac since "Jaguar" and the software has always mostly filled the screen. The current Mac OS, for those trying to keep up, is Snow Leopard, LOL! If I could justify or luxuriously afford an iPad, I'd probably get one, but I've got an iPhone, and it's very efficient for how small it is, so I'd probably opt for the Macbook Pro instead, if I could afford/needed it, even! As I said above, my 8 yr. old G5 leaves nothing to be desired except an Intel chip to run newer apps and mobility. But it won't be long now... ;-) Oh, wait, my car will be 10 yrs old next year, LOL! natal, Glad you got what was best for you - it really depends on your usage and comfort when choosing a computer, even for PC users *roll eyes* *snicker* J/K...See MoreInstalling CAD Programs on MacBook Pro

Comments (4)bostonoak, It surely won't hurt to increase the Ram in your MacBook. You might notice a very Small Increase in Speed but don't expect much speed. It will make Multitasking, Video Editing, Music Editing, etc... go more smoothly. Here is a Video: Upgrading MacBook RAM. BTW, if you do decided to do this yourself please make sure to Ground yourself before opening the case. Also, don't handle the RAM on the Flat Sides (like that guy does in the Video), only touch the Edges. You could damage the RAM handling it the way he is handling it (the RAM could also damage your computer from improper handling)! Make sure when ordering your RAM that you Purchase the Correct RAM for your Model. Also make sure to check your MacBook Specs to see what amount of RAM your MacBook can handle (most likely 8GB will Max it out)! I'm not a Mac Person but I have worked on a few. I think my daughter had a 2009 MacBook Pro with about the same specs as yours. Think it's 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive and either an Intel i3 or i5 at 2.2 or 2.4GHz (can't remember which)!...See MoreMacBook Pro with Touch Bar?
Comments (21)The Seagate was very easy to use. By set up, I basically mean I had to plug it into my router and create a user name and password, create an account for my mother-in-law so she could watch movies from her house that I store on my device, and create non-public folders on the Seagate to store my movies and music in. If you want to be able to access your movies and music on it from your phone or something, you'll also have to download the Seagate app onto your phone or iPad. It is called a network attached storage (NAS) but it's a NAS for non-techy people who don't want to configure network permissions and stuff like that. It is really nice to have it and I especially enjoy that my Apple TV recognizes it automatically because it's got some kind of special thing that communicates with Smart TVs so you can effortlessly access the movies and music on it.
