We share the same sentiments about Windows--a great time waster.

 

Although I am a bit surprised hearing about the first Macbooks not having Firewire. I never really checked out the first iteration of the Macbook although I assumed it had Firewire. Even the legendary Apple quality rans into 'issues' when a new product is launched so I wait about 3 to 4 months before diving in. True enough, there was a battery replacement program on the first issues of the MBs and MBPs. I caught the first stocks of the corrected MBPs and my lithiums seem to be working fine. And my kids really enjoy the MBs.

 

You mentioned AppleCare. Do you find it worth it? I've never had a Mac go really bad on me yet, I mean not one that required logic board replacement (which is my only real fear). If it was just a hard disk or peripheral, replacement is no issue. I see it as a chance to get nicer stuff.

 

yes i do, actually. if you come to think of it it just make sense to have something of a fallback with the kind of investment apples are di ba. youll never know. oh and one more thing to consider, your lcd costs as much as the logicboard heheh

 

i already broke even with applecare. just got my lcd replaced because some brilliant tech person from powermac greenbelt put glue on my screen during some light servicing. ruined my display cleaning it up. normally you would have to haggle to get them to replace it even if it is their fault, they volunteered to replace mine since im still on applecare. not that im not going to get them to replace it if i didnt have applecare

hehe

Ah yes, the retailer stores I stay away from. I go to Ynzal, ran by the guys who used to ran MacSolutions. They are in QC but they mostly supply institutionl users like major corps like Ayala Corp and the big ad agencies and publishing companies. These guys really know what they are doing and they don't insult your intelligence because they are used to clients who also know what they are doing. They also ran a fair trade-in program.

 

I know I may sound like I'm hard selling them, but I've dropped a bundle on these guys over the years not to mention the recos given to companies owned by friends and they have yet to disappoint.

 

By the way, PM me if you're interested in discussing software. wink wink

I currently use a Dell XPS M1210 C2D T7200 w/ 2GB RAM running Vista. I would like to upgrade to a Macbook Pro, running OSX w/ Parallels running Vista.

If you want to use the MBP solely for running Windows, you are better off using Bootcamp because then you do not incur the emulation overhead. Vista on Parallels is bearable only because the MBP is so powerful but that is like getting a Porsche Cayman and then hitching a boat trailer behind it. Unless of course, you are willing to discover OS X in which case, the use of Parallels and Vista will probably be a transition thing for you. My friends who shifted to Macs and OS X licked their windows habit in about three months.

go to the distributors or go to any SM cyberzone. if you want to search online then go to www.pcgilmore.com.ph or www.pcx.com.ph for a list of laptops with corresponding prices.

 

I got mine from digital playground in SM megamall. i remember between this model (neo empriva 540) there is another model that is worth 20k but with 256 memory and 40 gig hdd; may camera and wireless na yun.

 

if pang-gaming ang gusto mo (nakita ko sa SM ginagamit ng levelupgames to demo pangya, ragnarok, and freestyle) get the blue notebook series.

 

medyo gipit ka nga lang pagdating sa mga HP, dell, toshiba, ACER, and compaq brands pagdating sa 35K budget mo. ASUS is also a good choice of laptops within your budget. you can get a lonovo with 35k also; doubtful ako sa IBM at 35K price.

salamat sa info!

 

hindi naman sa gaming ang priority ko sa laptop kasi may desktop ako for gaming

 

gagamitin ko lang sa mga office applications, wireless internet, downloading stuff and burning dvds

[Guest brutus]

wala kang makikitang laptop for 35K na may DVD writer

 

combo drive lang

[uleeq_mahdeeq]

uy long time no see na magreply ako sa post mo. I'm currently using a neo empriva 540 N. may DVD burner combo drive. gulat nga sila sa probinsya because I told them I got my laptop for 30k.

 

downside lang ng laptop ko is naka preinstall ay windows Vista Home edition. kakainis at hindi compatible ang programs ko dito. I had to downgrade to Winxp
