[Tom Babauta]

what we're trying to discuss is the current price of a basic macbook sans the software.

 

who asked you about you and your supplier, anyhow?

 

:hypocritesmiley:

 

Ah ganun ba? Magkano ba bayad sa yo ni longbeard for championing his products at the expense

of disparaging local suppliers? Sure, longbeard does a great service to a lot of people but pls.

don't disparage the local suppliers who r doing legit business. Peace.

hi MAC users,

 

I have a wireless Linksys router at home. Ever since my brother from US left, nobody's been using it. I don't have a laptop.

 

My question is, can a mac G4 or MacBook with WIFI detect the broadcast from the router?

 

I'm considering which laptops I should buy. Can I use a mac?

 

 

thanks

I haven't tried that personally, but I think this is possible if you configured your wireless network settings properly. The new MacBooks are WiFi A/B/G compatible. Another advantage is the fact that the newer Intel-powered Macs could now dual boot Mac OS X and Windows XP. That means you now have the option of using peripherals, network devices and accessories that were previously compatible only with Windows-based platforms. If you have an Intel-powered Mac with Boot Camp installed, just boot to Windows, install the correct drivers, configure 'em and you're good to go. Plus, most peripherals, network devices and accessories made for Windows-based platforms are usually more cheaper than their Mac counterparts. Yeah... El Cheapo here, I'm just being practical. If works, why not? My 2 cents.

hi Wingwong, if it is a Linksys WRT54G or Linksys WRT54GS, then it is an easy set up for your G4 or Macbook set up.

 

yes, it can detect the wifi broadcast from the router. set up is basically easy.

 

you can use a mac for any other router. it is not true that the only way to go through wireless connection is through the Windows OS.

 

MIG-29C, i have to disagree with you that Windows is cheaper than Mac -- this will hold true if you're using pirated softwares. Affordable paraphernalias and accessories for macs are available as well.

you can use a mac for any other router -- Zyxel, D-Link, Netgear etc. it is not true that the only way to go through wireless connection is through the Windows OS.

you should be able to. as long as youre using the same Wi-Fi standard a/b/g, b and g the most popular. agre with unprettywoman: windows is not the only way to get wireless. as long as the laptop (or desktop for that matter) has a working wi-fi adapter with the same WiFi standard you should be OK

 

if youre getting a Mac, get one with an airport card ... sabagay, ano bang laptop ngayon ang walang wifi card built in... halos lahat yata may built in na

[marc.alan]

ayos ba room name change? ehehehe

 

any other suggestions?

Hi, UnprettyWoman... Haha! Yeah, you do have a point and I agree with that. However, I live in a place where the nearest reseller/service center for Macs is 450 Nautical Miles away. Badtrip 'no? I tried to e-mail some of the Mac distributors, resellers based in Manila for inquiries on made-for-Mac goodies, but none of them replied. I dunno if they're too busy making money or the staff is just plain and simple too tamad to take the time to reply. Bummer. For the meantime I'll be forced to adjust and adapt, make do with what's currently available here once my MacBook arrives. As much as I wanted to use OEM made-for-Mac gear, the local shops don't sell 'em here, but that's something Longbeard could easily fix. Hehe! Wish ko lang these 3rd party manufacturers would make peripherals that are multi-platform compatible. I'm sure the Linux users would also agree with me on this.

 

Switching to Macs is one of the best decisions I've made... buying and owning a Mac is like joining the Marines: THE FEW. THE PROUD.

 

Cheers! How come I rarely see you online lately? Busy with your studies huh? Thanks for the tips btw.

I'm recently bought a 24" Imac(BTO) with 2.16 ICD2 chip, 2GB RAM, and GeForce7600 256MB videocard.

What a beauty!

Yeah, I did. Haven't heard a word except from Longbeard. Which version? Yung 2004? Does MS Office for Mac require Rosetta? I'm not sure kung universal binary na yan, but I've heard some people say it slows down a bit with Rosetta running in the background. I'm thinking about checking out iWork '06. But I'd sure love to hear your feedbacks about MS Office for Mac. The first thing I'm gonna do when I'm back in Manila is visit the Mac shops! Hehe!
