the 15 inch with 1.67 Intel Duo is expected at around $2000 and the 1.83GHz Intel Duo version is ~$3000.

I'm fighting the urge to buy the MacBook Pro. I know something better is coming out within the year. I prefer smaller notebooks (12 inches)

I remember Apple has no plans to make a new 12" laptop for the pro market. The next i-book is probably gonna be in a 12" and 14" chassis though. And I definitely agree that Apple is going to launch more powerful versions of the macbook pro later this year, probably going to be the 17" version though.

Where did you get that news? Super Secret Apple Rumors?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

More like an educated guess.

Intel's Core Duo mobile CPU (Yonah), which the macbook uses, will be produced in clockspeeds of 1.5 to 2.16 GHz. The macbook pro uses chips which run at 1.66 and 1.83 GHz, which leaves Apple room for upgrades down the year. Another thing to look forward to is that the current Intel Core-duo is not 64-bit compliant. Intel hopes to release the 64-bit Core-duo sometime in the 3Q of 2006.

I'll wait until summer before making my purchase. I am hearing rumors the next major roll out of their new products is in time for the next school season. Maybe you're right, they will be more targetted to the consumer rather than pro users.

[NightMarket]

I read that Mac will now run on Intel chips, does this mean that we can now install the Mac operating system on ordinary PCs?

[NightMarket]

The price of a Mac is almost double that of an unbranded PC, considering that most Filipinos cannot even buy an unbranded PC, I think the PC will still dominate unless there is a big change in the pricing.

[NightMarket]

Still a Mac is more user friendly and if price is no object and you do not need a program that is available only on Windows then it may be the better choice.

The latest Macintosh today is the G5. The monitor and the CPU are integrated into one piece. Personally I'd love to have one but it costs P140,000. If you ever get one, try getting the 20-inch version.

 

I got to use an Apple PowerBook180 before. The PGA golf game was fun.

 

I also got use an AppleII in the late 70s and early 80s. I enjoyed Strategic Simulation games. Today you can still play them on the IBMPC with an AppleII emulator. I still play Guadalcanal, or USAAF-Strategic Bombing of Nazi Europe.

 

Hey you can even play Competition Karate.

Will any PC be able to run Mac OS X for Intel?

 

Last summer, Apple released a small number of Intel test systems to Mac developers. In the intervening time, enterprising hackers have gotten hold of the version of Mac OS X on those systems and figured out how to get it to run on standard PC hardware. Will the same thing happen with the new version of Mac OS X for Intel? Our guess is yes, but chances are it will be a task that will only take place in the Internet’s back-alleys, and will probably require some technical prowess to achieve.

 

Apple will probably tolerate a few thousand hard-core hackers (who would never pay for Mac hardware anyway) running OS X on their PCs; however, if any company came along with a handy utility that let you install OS X on your PC, you could count on Apple suing them into oblivion tout suite.

hey guys, i'm running window application on my mac, but there are some wmv files that only show blank screens-what could be the problem, my os x is version 10.4.1.

Just a clarification. A “G5” is a processor not a model. Other Mac models also runs on G5 power chips. Even four of them in one machine. I think you were referring to a iMac G5

[dreddfool]

does anyone here know how to hack the sys admin password on a mac osx?

and the system pref?

[zuriken]

Kumusta Mac Users! Sarap talaga ng naka -Mac :cool:

[Podweed]

I was trying the MacBook Pro earlier at an Apple Store. Felt no different from the G4 version. Still, I only played with it for a couple of minutes. Nice and both are winners.

[coolestboy]

The Apple Store in Manila should have some re-certified machines. Get those instead. Always buy something with warranty.

talaga? meron bang binebentang re-certified ibooks sa apple store? San branch? usually magkano? ty in advance folks.....

Kung may osx boot cd ka pwede mo i boot sa cd tapos i reset ang password, unless naka disable ang boot to cd pwede rin dumaan sa netinfo pero mahirap i explain.

Err, there should be (if there is an Apple Store or an authorized reseller). That there are, I don't know for a fact. Yes, Apple sells recertified machines. Ask around.
