LOL. Hobbit has two 'b's', Mr Full Size. :o
Yeah, well impressed with the i5!
Does anyone have any issues with playing Windows games under Parallels? I know Bootcamp's going to be smoother, but it pecks having to reboot. I have a copy of Parallels so I'll try that if it's not too buggy.
Long story short, my old 2009 Core 2 Duo MBP had a recurring fault which was repaired, then eventually replaced with a new Core 2 Duo MBP. That turned out to have discolouration on the base, which I wasn't happy with. :o
A call to Apple and a polite email later, and this arrived yesterday, in...
I use a glossy MBP and 27" iMac 'professionally' with no issues.
That said, even if it was worse, I'd pick the glossy on the MBP purely because of the fugly border. lol.
Don't bother. It's better in some conditions but next to unusable in direct sunlight.
Plus, it gives your MBP an ugly silver border around the screen, which is even worse than the Maxi-Glare screen itself.
i5's the best compromise, IMO.
That said, an i3 would still be fine.
I used an i3 the other week and it was much quieter than my i7. Not sure about the i5.
Yeah, the Soundsticks still work.
The i5's a great processor, I've just picked up my new MacBook Pro running an i5 today, so I'll let you know how it handles stuff.
i7 or you're a peasant. ;)
TBH, the only reason I got the i7 is because it's much better at multitasking high-load applications. For what you'll use it for, an i3 would be fine!
Any 27" iMac is epic.
Here you go. It's worth downloading the whole film from iTunes, though. The fella talking before Jony is Dieter Rams. Braun's head of design for twenty years.
If you like that, get his previous film 'Helvetica'
New one is out next year.
Anyone seen his feature in Objectified?
He shows how the Airs are made, and how the screen sections of iMac bodies are cut out to make two keyboard frames. Pretty cool.
Plus, he's my hero.
Optical drives are dying, so that's fair enough. I think I've used the drive on my MBP and iMac about twice.
The omission of the backlit keyboard is a shame though.
