If you are looking at AlienWare stuff then your in the same money area as the MacBook Pro.
What I did was when I got my Mac I installed Windows via Apple's Boot Camp drivers and I have the best of both worlds. I can play both Mac AND Windows games and be able to go back and forth for compatibility on any other software I would need.
I got a good deal on a sale for Parallels later on so I don't even have to reboot into Windows for most of the stuff I do. VMWare does the same thing.
How do you get pages on your MacBook Air?
Only if it came with iWorks installed or you bought it later.
Why is somebody's Apple ID coming up when I try to update something instead of my Apple ID?
This would be probably be because the app was purchased using that persons apple id there are 2 solutions to this you can either ask them to type in their password or delete the app and reinstall it using your apple id.
How do I get my MacBook audio to work again?
First thing to do is to restart your computer. If is still does not work, open System Preferences and check the sound settings. Make sure the output is set to Line Out for the Built In Audio.
How do you get a free MacBook?
if you would like a free macbook, Google "free macbooks" and you are bound to find one. if you cant, then you can get one that is cheap and lightly used.
There is nothing free in this world, even the most powerful people have to buy a macbook. Besides, why would you want a macbook in the first place. They are very unreliable
Should you be concerned if only a bit of water goes into your Mac Book Pro?
You shouldn't worry about a little water getting into your computer unless you see performance issues
Can MacBook Pro be left in the heat?
Hopefully by "heat" you don't mean in an oven or on a BBQ grill! All computers don't take well to heat and laptops, with smaller fans and enclosures, can generate heat quickly. A MacBookPro will get very warm sitting on your lap after a few minutes.
You want to keep laptops in as cool an environment as possible when in in operation. If you're talking about in non-operation (shut down and not put to sleep), as long as it's not in direct sunlight and in a proper laptop case, the laptop will take the same temperatures as a human.
What is the difference between the 60w and 85w magsafe power MacBook adapters?
I can totally answer this question for you. I currently have Macbook Pro,2.16G,Intel Core 2 Duo running 4G of RAM. As someone who has used both adapters, the breakdown goes like this:
The 60w Magsafe adapters are for the Macbooks, the 85w for Macbook Pro. Both are interchangeable. Therefore, a 60w can power a Macbook Pro as well as an 85w can power a Macbook the second they're plugged in.
HOWEVER, if you plug a 60w adapter into a MBP, while it will charge and can be used when plugged in, there's a small catch. To be more precise, the MBP is still usable and the battery will charge just a bit slower than if using the 85w. Why is this,you might be asking? Because the Macbook Pro draws more juice than the Macbook and it's drawing power from a lower watt adapter, hence the need for the 85w. You may see your charge reach and hold between 96% to 99%. If you close it,go in sleep mode or shut it down entirely, that usually charges it to a full 100%.
So yes,you can use either adapter for both. The only thing to keep in mind is if you have a Macbook Pro and are using the 60w,you could risk (in time) overheating your computer as well as doing damage to your battery. The Intel chip is smart enough to stop taking in power to charge but the actual adapter IS NOT. It will still continue sending that current to your machine when in use. Now,you're just slowing cooking your laptop. Will any serious damage happen is you're not using the appropriate adapter? Not really but there have been some a few cases out there of people's machines suddenly shutting down due to overheating and battery health going a bit faster than normal. When I switched from a 60w for my MBP to the 85w, I noticed my machine didn't get nearly as hot and my battery life/cycle actually GOT BETTER (about 7% increase) due to having the proper voltage.
If you have a regular Macbook,either one,supposedly,will be fine. A Macbook Pro,you'll still be OK but keep in mind of the potential quirks when using a lower wattage adapter.
Hope this helps.
How do you get an mp4 video to play on the MacBook Pro?
M4V and MP4 are 'containers' for audio and video files. They are basically the same, but QuickTime and iTunes can both open the MP4 if it contains audio or video files that follow the common formats. If an audio or video file uses unuwual compression, it may fail to open in QuickTime or iTunes.
There are 'tools' which will allow QuickTime and iT to work with more file types.
Install Perian and Flip4Mac, as well as MPEG Streamclip to enable a wide variety of audio and video formats.
How do you save and export a pages document as a tiff file on your MacBook?
Pages does not support exporting as a TIFF. If a TIFF file is essential then you can export as a PDF from Pages, open the PDF in Preview and Save As... a TIFF from Preview.
What is the difference in weight between the MacBook Air 13-inch and MacBook Pro 13-inch?
The Pro is about half a pound heavier than the air.
13" air is 2.96 pounds.
13" pro is 3.57 pounds.
The Air also does not have a CD/DVD drive.
How do you unmute the 2001 C240?
simply push the volume up button simply push the volume up button simply push the volume up button
How do you keep MacBook Pro cool?
Taken straight from the Apple Support website;
"Do not place your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material when it's powered on, as the material can block the airflow vents (in particular, the rear vents) and cause the computer to overheat. Never place anything over your keyboard when operating in closed-lid mode. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off, which might create excessive heat and drain your battery. When you're using your MacBook Pro or charging the battery, it's normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface. Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn. The bottom of the MacBook Pro case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised slightly to allow airflow, which keeps the unit within normal operating temperatures. In addition, warm air is vented from the slots in the back of the case."
Can a Macbook Pro run Total War Attila?
Yes, as long as you have Java installed. You will need at least 3 MB of Ram and an Intel Core Duo 3 GHz processor. You will also need at least this good of a video card. 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, AMD Radeon HD 2900 XT or Intel HD 4000
Not sure what you mean exactly but my guess is...
if you clicked on the yellow button in the upper left part of the window it will collapse into the Dock. The Dock is usually at the bottom of the desktop. The window your looking for is near the bottom of the list of icons. Just place your cursor over each one and it will highlite the name of the folder or file. Then just click on it to bring it back up onto the desktop.
How to restart down your MacBook Air?
To restart your macbook air either press the apple logo in the corner and select restart or you can press the power button in the right hand corner and select restart.
Non at all the computer hardware of a Gaming Laptop for the same price as a Mac would be must better.
In the end it is the software that matters.
Macs OS X contains "Core" technologies that pass common imaging tasks on to the GPU, which makes working with movies, photos and music much easier and faster. Applications can easily make use of these Core technologies through Apple's APIs. Mac hardware has traditionally been better and faster than PC hardware because it used stuff like scsi buses for the hard disks and peripherals. So, when it came to handling the large amounts of data in quality photographs, images and movies, MACs were better at this. This may not be the case now hardware wise. You will probably spend the same for MAc or PC hardware. The writers of software for MACs also had the advantage that they were writing for a limited number of known hardware combinations that were thouroughly tested, so their software gave less trouble. Whereas, that freedom to mix and match PC hardware caused a headache to PC software writers and often lead to unreliable editing machines. If you want a machine for producing income, then purchasing a MAC and Mac software makes enormous sense. However, if you are just starting to learn, far better to go with the more economical machine. Once you played with your first editing computer, you will better know what you do and do not need in your next editing computer, MAC or PC.
