Well, most probably Im getting a mac anyway.... it boils down to usage, actually... i was thinking of wither getting a shuttle or a mac mini... almost the same ang price, kanya lang, shuttle wont come with and OS and all the programs, comes comes with almost everything... downside, mac SW isnt really, uh, "freely enterprisable" hehehe... and most of my favorite games are Win-based... also mas sanay ako sa windows, although di gaanong kahirap ang learning curve ng mac eh also try www.philmug.com Edited July 19, 2006 by marc.alan Quote Link to comment

At least some of the programs Im using in windows will still be available. I really hope it really works. I also heard of a program called parallels... it also allows windows to run inside mac OS.. pretty cool.... Actually, I already ordered my Macbook, depends nalang on when the stocks will be available. Quote Link to comment
Tom-Tado Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 for the technical mac users... is the ram of the ibook g4 upgrade-able?the ibook g4 has 256 ram. It sure is! I'm using an iBook G4, upgraded from 256 to 1.2GHz...had it done by Sengco,my mac dealer. The downside of upgrading my RAM is now that it performs so well, I don't have a reason to upgrade to the MacBook! Quote Link to comment
smoothcriminal Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i've used mac along time ago.. it was with MAC i learned how to use a computer and perhaps understand its inuendos. now, i mostly use Windows... i didn't change religion though... I am still a staunch believer of Mac... i only have issues on its economics. Quote Link to comment

I am still a staunch believer of Mac... i only have issues on its economics. Issues with the economics? Macs are actually cheaper than their PC bretheren here in the Philippines (unless you count the Frankenstein computers cobbled together in China) Toshiba laptops with similar specs to an iBook are around 10-15k more expensive...and don't even ask about the Sony Vaio series.

From there, just follow the step by step instructions on the screen. Quote Link to comment
vixen Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Wow, dami ng Mac users. I'm game for a coffee EB. If I remember correctly, that Coco Grill restaurant along Kalayaan (where TA had an EB) offers free wi-fi but wait, coffee's not really their specialty. Well, there's always Coffee Bean in Greenbelt 3. Plus, they're used to having the PodCentral people there I installed Warcraft III on my iBook so now I can play DOTA anytime I want. Gawd, how geeky is that. haha! Quote Link to comment
ferro2 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I am planning to buy a macbook the only problem is how to roam using pldt weroam.I check with senco and they informed me that there is no external adaptor to connect the antenna to mac? any suggestions? Quote Link to comment

My advise is to buy from someone else! mwehehehehe Seriously though, I'm not sure how the weroam will work with the internal wifi connection of Mac products...I'm surprised Erwin (the head tech guy at Sengco) didn't know the answer to this one...maybe you should ask other suppliers like Liteware/LMK/Ynzal if they've dealt with this problem...I'm sure there's a way to fix it.
