Suggestion and some doubts for a Multimedia Laptop

[drgrudge]

Ok guys. I've a spoke with Arya and Goobi. Read many reviews of the Macbook Pro. No looking back now and I'm buying Apple.

This is the one:

MacBook Pro 15"

2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1440 x 900 resolution
2GB RAM memory
120GB HDD
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 128MB SDRAM

$1800 (Rs 73,500) + Free iPod (which I might sell in eBay)


Thanks a lot for the suggestions and comments.

^well done!dude!

 

[Pathik]

Hmmm.. good decision.. but y arent arya and goobi posting in here???

 

[infra_red_dude]

but y arent arya and goobi posting in here???

for obvious reasons!!! they've saved the forum database from shooting up in size!! had they posted here, it'd haf led to another locked thread. its wise to do this, seek the opinions of one of the camps (windows/linux users) here on the forum while haf a private conversation wid the other camp (mac) good thinking

i think ashwin made a good decision... as to the requirements he'd stated and the style statement i guess his buy is justified. congrats

dude may i say something ... why dont u wait for dx 10.1 gfx cards

 

[Ankur Gupta]

^^Yeah...absolutely...
But then he is not into gaming so doesnt make sense...
and DX10.1 cards will take 2-3 months atleast to arrive on the scene that too for desktops first...
It seems Mac is a decent choice...watever you buy/do dont regret later in life..thats the mantra of life...

Well...I hope u won't "need" to WIndows from now on. That Macbook Pro keyboard isn't your best friend when it comes to working on Windows.

Thanks! Now looking for this Apple wireless/wired Mighty Mouse or any other 'ordinary PC' one..

It's interesting to note that Macbook Pro leads the poll.


It's amazing to think we've another Mac fanboy even b4 he used any Apple stuffs!

 

[Pathik]

Well any1 who has excess dough and doesnt need great features can afford to be a macboy..

 

[iMav]

ah shucks we have to deal with another 1 now

Buy the ordinary PC one, if at all. (But please give the trackpad some time before jumping ship.)

It's interesting to note that Macbook Pro leads the poll.

Frankly, that is very surprising.

It's amazing to think we've another Mac fanboy even b4 he used any Apple stuffs!

That's the power of that shiny logo. Welcome to the family!

What family ...lolz...its a computer for gods sake. Don't tell me u r gonna celebrate Mac-wali (diwali parody)

 

[iMav]

^^ not to forget arya called grudgy an idiot coz grudgy has said he aint buying it for os x but for the sex appeal ... shame on u arya u call elders idiots ... learn to think b4 typing arya

 

[Pathik]

Arey yaar vapas chalu mat karo.. Close the topic.. Btw 1520 catching up

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

by gods thats a stupid ammount of money to spend on a computer, when there are many other things u can spend the money on

Bikes....mods to bike...gals...dates etc

that's whay i am talking about....but neways macboys will neva learn

It's amazing to think we've another Mac fanboy even b4 he used any Apple stuffs!

i knew it was mac boy in the making

 

[gxsaurav]

i knew it was mac boy in the making

Are its ok...Mac is good enough for grudgy's needs, infect even a Macbook (normal) is enough.

 

[iMav]

its not the mac thats bad but the damn tiger thats running in it ...

 

[gxsaurav]

Well...I find Macbook pro bad compared to Dell 1720 all pumped

1) Its hot

2) Non standerd keyboard

3) running Windows isn't the same as on a Dell

It's ok man. Forget listing the disadvantages. I no longer care. No PC is perfect. Mac is that 'No PC'.

Also I'll run Windows only for some time till I'm comfortable with OS X. No issues on that also.


aryayush -
I'm not going to buy a mouse for the time being. I think I've my Genius mouse which I bought with my Dell Inspiron 6400.
