Mac Users Of Mtc (apple: Go Ahead, Take A Bite!)

[stormrider]

There are those who say that based on my requirement, a top-end MacBook would suffice. But then, there are those who advise me to just get a entry level MacBook Pro instead.

 

You've got your Mac models the other way around but no matter. The Macbook is the entry level model. The Macbook Pro is the high end. That sort of explains why the MBP has a larger screen does it not? The Macbook is what I call the 'plastic' Mac. It is available in white and black with the Black version having the same processor, more-or-less as the mainstream Macbook Pro.

 

Thanks Boomouse,

 

What I meant to say was that my options were:

 

1. MacBook - the top-end variant (2.16 GHz, Core 2 Duo, 1GB, 120/160 GB)

2. MacBook Pro - the base variant (2.2 GHz, Core 2 Duo, 2GB, 120GB)

 

As I said before, I'm kinda leaning towards the latter.

 

Based on my canvassing (Ynzal and Power Mac Center), the notebooks are out-of-stock at the moment. So I'll have to wait.

by the way, once you get your Mac, you will never want to use a PC again.

 

Thanks lustofortravel,

 

That's what I'm afraid of. That's the reason why the Mac will be for personal use only.

Be sure that you have the "discoverable" box in your bluetooth preferences checked. Ensure that your phone is also discoverable. You must initiate the connection from your mac not your phone. Use OS X's bluetooth setup assistant to establish pairing. Once you get your Mac paired to your phone sending files is like sending to another phone.

 

thanks, boomouse! I will try it tomorrow

 

i'm afraid i might be posting more questions though since i haven't really explored all options.

 

i use it for photoshop and surfing only at the moment. plus a few power point presentations.

yep, trust me. i only have the entry level model , the macbook without the superdrive. but i am soooo happy with it.

I think most people on this thread would collectively have everything. Can you guys sound off on whether there is interest in a Mac-only EB?

 

I normally don't go to ebs but if there is one, I am all for it .

 

especially since i'm too lazy to learn the applications and would appreciate meeting people who can show me how to do it

I'm trying to talk my brother into getting a Macbook too. His main concern is his work-related stuff (Word, Excel).

 

1. Isn't there a Mac version of these programs too? Where available? Price?

2. Can Pages, Keynote and Numbers run Word, Powerpoint, Excel files?

OK. If you guys want it to be a tutorial/demonstration type EB, I'm OK with that too. It's not as if I haven't done this for a living before... Suggestions please.

 

Bahala na kayo.

 

I actually have been trying to teach myself to use the applications and refer to help or surf for the answers if i get stumped

 

but a discussion on what video software to use if we want to integrate pictures and videos in a dvd sounds cool.

 

i always like giving personalized gifts to friends and nothing gets as personal as having one's pictures ( with a video and sound background) and videos ( testimonials of friends or videos of the person,etc.) in a DVD. i just don't know where to start and end up having someone else do it for me :upside:

 

cors, the best eb would be a flexible, go with the flow type. nothing structured. just a basic framework that can be changed anytime during the eb. something that won't scare us idiots off from future ebs

 

just my two cents.

About your suggestion how about we start with the basics of using iWork instead of MS Office and how to migrate from Office?

 

Then we can also doiMovie which I am also discovering. It can allow you to mix pictures and video and burn into a DVD.

 

sounds better every time. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

guys, start speaking up or else i will end up having to monopolize boomouse for the whole session.

Can anyone provide us where we can downloads some applications, games and etc for our Mac?

 

This site is one of my suggestion
