MB or MBP???

[Revels]

Any Given Tuesday.

There were whispers that it was going to be today. Lol. Nobody has a clue.

 

[Aluco]

I sat at work today refreshing the apple store every ten mins, how sad is that ? :dapprove:

Apparently it could be tomorrow because of a US holiday or something, it's all bullshit. Never before have I struggled to give a company £1500 lol.

 

[Revels]

Lol. It's very very very rarely anything other than a Tuesday.

This is why I didn't wait. Plus mine is way more powerful than I'll ever need.

I remember waiting for minis for a long long time. "Don't buy. Update coming"

I think the MBP updates are pretty much certain, but they could be months yet.

ARGH don't say that. FFS.

This is far more stressful than building my own windows pc TBF the current ones would be powerful enough for me but with a refresh imminent and looking at the current price and specs I cannot pay 1500 pounds for a core 2 duo laptop.

 

[Revels]

The MBP is their best selling machine. Whilst there are some people like you that are waiting, there are also plenty of people like Seb and I who have bought them regardless.

Apples release schedules are a lot more predictable than some, but that doesn't mean they'll always stick to them. Without them being at MacWorld, that's a big pre-determined event that they aren't announcing things at.

It's likely to be soon, but that's likely based on the presumption that they are indeed getting the new chips.

Mac pros have been 'coming soon' for months. Minis were getting updates for years. iMac's didn't appear when expected.

But yeh, have fun waiting

 

[Aluco]

Sigh :dapprove:

 

[seb]

Tbh you can wait around for ever. I needed a new laptop so thought I'd upgrade to a mac.

Will do what I need with ease.

On a side note the battery life is EPIC. One of the most impressive things about it tbh

 

[JR]

Any pics yet seb ? Backlit keyboard, using it in the dark yet ?

 

[Aluco]

I don't think the keyboard will impress me that much after my last keyboard

 

[Revels]

What's that gay flag thing?

 

[Aluco]

Windows key hahaha

 

[seb]

Same as mine, good choice.

 

[Christopher]

Please tidy up that dock!

 

[JR]

What is magic about the mouse btw?

 

[Christopher]

I'll make a video for you.

 

[Dafthead]

I love my MBP13, never buying windows pish ever again!

 

[JR]

On the S ?

 

[Dave]

just buy one dave. they are cool.

got 2 usb ports.

All the money in my world goes in the bank.

Mainly so I can see that houseprices rise faster than I can save, and that due to inflation my money will buy f**k all.

Oh and so the bank will pay me f**k all interest on it too.

 

[Christopher]

On the S ?

Yessir. Quality is guff though, until YT confirms the upload.

You can also use two fingers swiping across to flick through photos, or go back to the previous page of your browser.

As well as flick through your music in iTunes, which is amazingly cool.

Roffle at that video. Hi hobbit hands. -x-

 

[JR]

Would have liked to see more of the hands little man

 

[Christopher]

My hands are huge.

My d*ck hates it.

 

[Revels]

Yeh. I need one of them.

 

[sneeks]

A Magic Mouse is well worth buying.

 

[seb]

apple have let me download all my stuff again sweet.

they gave me this link to get stuff off my iphone etc. but this appears to only be for stuff purchased off itunes.

can i get my other stuff off it too? i copied my favourite cd's onto my old laptop etc so would rather just be able to transfer this all over from the iphone.

ideas? or is this not possible?

 

[Needster]

Didn't keep up with this... Is the old lappy completely fucked?

You can't transfer off your iPhone songs, etc.

 

[Gally]

Looks great tbh, have you used mac before Seb? I'd be scared of coming from windows tbh.

[sneeks]

Something like this claims to work for transferring all your iPhone music content onto your new Mac. There may be free alternatives available.

[sneeks]

Another option which will allow you to transfer upto 1000 tracks for free.

yep totally screwed. had to do a format on it as it was basically bent over getting done over and over.

Looks great tbh, have you used mac before Seb? I'd be scared of coming from windows tbh.

never used one before in my life. first time was yesterday. it is really weird. it is cool though, you turn it on and it is up and running in like seconds. already connected to the web and everything. no gash windows loading for a minute or whatever.

it is really weird at the moment. hopefully will get used to it... the thing makes ZERO noise. you can't even tell it is on when it goes into sleep mode.

 

[Needster]

Either try those links above, Seb. Or just reload your CDs onto the MBP.

cheers dude i'll check it out once itunes has finished all its downloads.

 

[sneeks]

You'll get used to the Mac in no time at all and wonder how you coped with Windows for so long.

 

[Gally]

Does sound cool, i'd have to have a play about with one, couldn't use a 13"screen tho.

Out of curiosity why are they so expensive? I mean for 1K+ you could buy a state of the art laptop.

 

[Revels]

Because it is state of the art.

13" sounds small but it's perfect.

 

[sneeks]

I agree, the 13" screen is very usable.

 

[Gally]

Can you see my point tho Revels I mean is it really really quick like 1k laptop quick?

Or is it a pair of gucci sunglasses? £500 but pretty much the same as the £30 pair?

It's a genuine question.
