renegarcia38 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi guys i just acquired an old model of a macbook. I can;t find to see the model number anywhere though.Is a Airport card required to use internet?It really depends how old the model of the macbook is. So far anything beyond 2003 meron na dapat built-in airport/wifi connection na Quote Link to comment
Edmund Dantes Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 parang nasayang pera ko sa macbook air, nagfre-freeze sya eh. Buti pa itong regular na Mcbook kahit 2009 ko pa nabili gumagana pa Quote Link to comment
glut_func Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ^i have the same speculation din sa mga bagong mac lineup na lumabas, ganda lang tingnan kasi ang nipis pero dami ko din narinig na potential na topak. Hindi warranted yung price nya. I settled for an older and second hand MBP (late 2008) pero upgraded parts, got it from abroad and bought it from a seller online for a steal price and it has served me well as far as my post processing is concerned.

n70 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Â There's an Apple store at Greenbelt.i like to but its an old mbp which i replaced, i was planning to give to my son..... it would cost me an arm and a leg to bring ito to an apple store. Quote Link to comment

Btw, invest on ssd drive to replace your current hdd, along with maxing out your ram, it will bring your macbook back to life, running in a faster lane...http://support.apple.com/specs/#macnotebooks Quote Link to comment

glut_func Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Did you guys see the new stuff they presented? Cool. I like the Macbook (formerly Macbook Air) coz it's so tiny but no other ports, for obvious reasons. And the color too! I just checked it now and wow ha, pinalaking macbook air tapos binago lang ang kulay appealing yung 8gb built-in RAM pero medyo deal breaker yung absence ng conventional ports. Eng eng lang siguro bibili neto  http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs/ Quote Link to comment
glut_func Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So ako na eng eng?  But thank you for highlighting. I just really need to give up my MBP. Ang bigat e.And I love the color so yes eng eng here  ngek, dont take it the personal way. Pero kasi practicality lang parang hirap mag transfer ng files nyan. Kung yung normal MBP lang eh nakakalito na mag transfer from OS X <-> Windows ng files pano pa pag wala yung ports na kelangan di ba? Besides, lighter and thinner nga sya pero mas prone na masira mga ganito at mahirap humanap ng pagpapaayusan.  Ako rin naman nabibigatan sa MBP ko na late 2008 model pero I'm happy na rin kasi I got it loaded up to 8gb RAM at 1TB HDD tapos meron pang CD drive. Battery cycle ko buhay na buhay pa at 96%. And to think I got it as second hand for 30K+ lang 2 years ago. Still serves me well up until this day for my designing needs. Quote Link to comment
glut_func Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 30k?! Ang mahal. Sana you just bought mine. Sold for 20k. I usually change every two years but with your long explanation I might reconsider postponing  Thanks and nothing personal taken against you.  Sa singapore ko pa kasi binili yun and that was 2 years ago pa. It was in a very good condition and considering upgraded na yung HDD (SATA not SSD) at RAM I figured it was a steal. Kung tutuusin natawaran ko pa nga yun kasi the seller posted it as 40K pa. It's not retina pero it's a MBP so who wouldn't want that di ba? hirap kaya maghanap ng MBP na ganun. Quote Link to comment
RiverJordan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 These Macbook Pro's need a change, it's getting a bit boring. Sold my mid-2012 for a late 2013 rMBP and I just think, what a rip off! Quote Link to comment

objectivismus Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I have been using a Macbook since 2006 and Air since 2014. I actually still use the former as the torrents machine, and the latter for personal use.No regrets - absolutely trouble-free. It would be extremely difficult for me to get a windows-based tablet for personal use. Quote Link to comment
Wraith Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Still have the non retina mbp because it's upgradable. Swapped the cdrom with an hdd carrier, removed the hdd, and installed 2 ssds. Plus upgraded the ram to 16gb. That's the office based laptop. I also have macbook since I also need to be mobile at times. Â The specs are obviously not mbp grade, but for on the go work, the new MacBook is a good laptop. Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR Alex_Corvis Posted June 27, 2015 MODERATOR Share Posted June 27, 2015 My wife used to think my Macbook Pro is a waste of money. Hirap daw gamitin etc. Blah blah, like every windows users afraid of change.Now, nasira na totally yung Acer aspire na binili nya around 2011 and she's using my MBP on her work (Virtual Assistant) Ngayon gusto na nya arborin. Bumili na lang daw ako ng bago for me. Bought might early 2010 btw. Problema lang battery cause it can only last now around max 2 hours. Quote Link to comment
glut_func Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 ^ser, kung nasa SG ka pa, tingin ka sa HWZ baka makatsamba ka ng murang MBP, dun ko nabili akin hanggang ngayon buhay pa at matatag ang battery cycle. O kaya naman kung battery lang gusto mo replace merong pc hospital (not sure kung yun nga yung name) malapit sa aljunied MRT na pwede mo mabilhan ng parts for apple products. Quote Link to comment
