i have an iPhone 3G... |
I might...
I may take a walk on the dark side and join the apple cult. I am still deciding. I do not have an iPhone. But I really need a laptop with everything that I need to do. So I am seriously looking at the MacBook Pro.
Talk to MacBook Pro people. Tell what you enjoy most and least about yours. Even the best items have cons. |

But the speed, stability and quality stands out. Using Fusion means that anything that is "Windows only" I can handle. Additionally, the current OS (OS X) satisfies my need for both decent GUI as well as decent commandline (since it's based off of the BSD/NeXT variant). That means I can likely use a lot of the GNU/GPL software as well as off the shelf software. The one thing I'd ask is what do you need your laptop to do? How do you use yours or how would you use it? |
I have a Macbook Pro. Cost is a definite issue, but honestly I was going through HP laptops every two years, I process lots of photos and my Mac handles it just fine. I financed this one through Apple, monthly payment I was paying was worth not dealing with the frustration I was having with my HP. The financing was so easy, the finances charges were high, but it was the only way at the time. I also love that the finance people don't bother me with trying to finance something else.
My biggest plus, NO WINDOWS, the virus issues and window updates are just absent, you turn it on, and poof you are online. :) I LOVE IT!! |
I want to be able to plug my iPhone into something that will let me
Use my car speakers to listen to my music on my phone. Is this possible? |
Right now I don't have a laptop. I was using the one that I had through my last job. I am no longer there, so no more laptop.
I would use the laptop for things like the newsletters, a lot of photo work for the newsletters, program books, flyers, music lists (I love music), movies, editing videos, of course the creations of various docs (lectures, class materials for what I teach, spreadsheets, etc) and of course games. I would also need the Windows component because of what I need to provide to those at the church. I found the laptops that I have used in the past to be frustrating and slow. That's why I am thinking about the MacBook Pro. I would also need the windows side because of testing that I would be doing if I chose not to sit at the PC. Thanks for asking. |

Thanks that's perfect :) and on my Christmas list now. |
My first PC was an Apple and then a windows 3.1 AT PC. lol
I have spent tons of money on PC's because i always needed it for work, however these days I buy PC's I know that if they break down I can throw them away and buy another. I keep everything on an external drive and I have my own server, hosted, for almost 10 years at the same hosting company. I recently bought a 500 acer pc running windows 7. It's lightweight and runs great. I stopped spending big money on PC's. |

at least the FM transmitter will charge the phone. I actually have a USB port built into my truck, it basically is the same thing as the auxiliary slot, but it charges the phone will using it. |

New iApp
Hey guys -
For those of us "i" folks, my company just released a new app for the iPhone and iPad. sendpostcard http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sendp...479650305?mt=8 Send real printed postcards straight from your iPhone or iPad. Everybody loves getting personal notes in their mailbox. .99 each. What a deal. For those who live abroad, it can be a postage savings - not paying international rates. I can give a coupon code for five free postcards if anyone is interested. Just drop me a line. I would welcome any/all feedback on the app. Happy postcarding! I did receive permission from the site owner before posting the link - no conflicts of interest :) |

I have several PC's, including laptops but always work on my MacBook Pro 17". The resolution is high quality and doesn't lead to eyestrain. I run Windows XP on Parallels but honestly, don't use it much at all. Apple has plenty of desktop publishing software. I use InDesign and Illustrator for any publishing, on the Mac. On my iPad, I use Numbers and Pages.
As far as "breaking" computers, it's literally impossible unless you choose to dunk it in water,regardless of the manufacturer. Well,ok, also if you open emails from people you don't know but I don't do that. I still have a very capable Gateway 2.2GHz naive Windows machine from 1999 and the only thing i've had to replace was the fan. The thing still runs and has a 300GB hard drive, plus a 500GB external.

I think I am now an official "fanboi".
The iPod 80g lead me to the iMac 21, which then lead me to the iPhone 4s, which has now lead me to a Macbook Air 11. :blink: Each one of these comes with a couple of those stickers you can put on your car. I think I can skip the car and just put one on my forehead now. :| Totally sucked in. I'm surrounded. :theisland: |
i am trying to convert a PC user to Mac and wanted to bump this thread!
