10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying A New Laptop
Macbook to Tv Cable
I like to browse various forums from time to time that focus on the Apple MacBook and other various media products, to see what users have to say about their Mac and also to see what problems people are running into. Why? Because I want to know that
everything is kosher with a product before I recommend certain offers to my clients or colleagues. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOVR52S
A recent testimonial - I guess you could call it that - actually was somewhat sad. It comes from a guy who bought the Mac only to realize that no matter what he tried he couldn't play movies from the MacBook on tv. He says, "Just got a new MacBook last week and finally found a mini Display Port -> VGA adapter so i could use my 19" external display. I rented a movie from the iTunes store yesterday and when I tried to play it on my external display (television), it gave me a warning/error that the display was 'not an authorized HDCP display' and it would not play. Plays fine on the small MacBook screen, just nothing external. To make it even worse, I tried all the movies that I have purchased from the iTunes store with the same result...
NONE of them will play on anything but the MacBook's small 13" screen. This is crazy unacceptable."
I couldn't agree more with that last statement. It really is unacceptable. If you want to play movies from the macbook Pro case on tv exclusive here is US or United States, there has to be a way to do it. Right? There is! If you visit this website called Macbook2TV.com you can get much more than the easiest step by step guide to hooking up your laptop to your TV, you will also get instant access to purchase the exact wires and cables you need for your laptop and Mac version, so that watching movies and shows from your Mac to the television will be a smooth transaction.

Construction and Design
Since their introduction in October 2008, unibody MacBook Pro have been produced from a single sheet of aluminum. Apple has improved on this project with the latest Macbook Pro battery by removing the panel underneath the laptop. The result is a perfectly smooth finish on the bottom of the Macbook, but also allow the user to remove to remove the battery.

smooth, seamless bottom Macbook Pro
Production of the entire laptop with a single sheet of aluminum results in a rigid chassis combines invalid. This means that there is less likely to fracture or break in this developing case. Because of the properties of aluminum, the laptop is very unlikely to crack or break. However, aluminum is relatively soft metal, so it can deform heavy pressure should be applied to how physically sits on the laptop. Aluminium is a conductive material, so heat is spread throughout the computer, providing more efficient cooling, but also making the entire computer is moderately warm to the touch, after long-term intensive treatment. This is especially true when running Windows.

MacBook Pro Microsoft Windows Vista
in hand, believes Apple Macbook Pro, portable and convenient. This is mainly due to the texture of aluminum, and the fact that the laptop is less than 1 inch thick. But weighing less than 2.5 kg in 15 MacBook Pro is light on the 15.4 laptop.
Outside frame and glass covering about glossy display MacBook Pro laptop is not very sensitive to fingerprints and smudges. However, the hinge connecting the monitor to the base laptop from time to time is not sufficiently rigid to hold the screen in place when laptop is worn with the screen open. It is therefore not recommended to laptop around in this way.
Display and Sound
Apple claims that appear on the new 15 Macbook Pro has 60% more color range than the previous generation, which means that the new MacBook Pro display, you may receive a much wider range of colors. New 15 Macbook Pro now rival monitors are perfect for 17 Macbook Pro, with darker blacks for a brighter white. Viewing angles, especially the horizontal, are also impressive at 15 Macbook Pro, as can be seen on the pictures below:
1282576406_1948472910.jpg

1282576410_1540275495.jpg viewing angles the screen Macbook Pro. Horizontal viewing angles are impressive, and vertical angles are as expected from the notebook screen. Please note that the brightness is not turned to the max the maximum brightness was a little too much for my eyes
Of course, the MacBook Pro display still falls short in comparison with self-MVA, PVA, IPS, or display. But the laptop is certainly one of the best on the market to so far. particularly useful feature of the MacBook Pro as you adjust the display brightness according to ambient brightness. This feature is available from Apple has released MacBook unibody models, and can be turned off in System Preferences.
speakers to Macbook Pro, like the speakers in most notebooks, have not improved significantly in recent years. They are louder than their 13 counterparts, but a decent pair of stereo headphones or speakers dedicated sound much better.
Keyboard and Touchpad
15 Macbook Pro has a full size backlit keyboard Chiclet. I personally enjoy a Chiclet project, and that is very easy and quiet to write on.
1282576412_200662210.jpg
MacBook Pro keyboard and mouse.
As a user of Apple keyboard for a few years, I have overcome the initial difficulties I had when I first turned on. However, some users may need to get used to the narrower Return or Enter, and the lack of dedicated forward Delete key. However, when new users are aware that the Command press your thumb instead of their little finger, should have no difficulty in adapting to the MacBook Pro keyboard.
keyboard backlight activates automatically in low light, illuminating the entire keyboard. Just as the automatic adjustment to the backlight, automatic keypad light can be turned off in System Preferences and Brightness can be controlled using the keyboard on the fly.

multi-touch trackpad on the 15 Macbook Pro has no physical buttons. This is because the lower part of the trackpad, you can press down, acting as a physical button. This project, which was introduced with the unibody MacBooks, received mixed feelings from users, some praising it, while others find it impossible to use. I personally think its no different from conventional trackpad with physical buttons, and think it is a very good way to achieve the aesthetic design without compromising on functionality.
As for performance, trackpad works flawlessly with Mac OS X. There are also a number of options to exercise, right-click, choosing from the trackpad with two fingers, physically pressing on different areas of the trackpad.
In Microsoft Windows is a completely different story. The default Boot Camp drivers offer very limited or non-standard configuration for the trackpad, and the sensitivity of the trackpad is slightly queasy, as weak to work. This problem can be fixed in the version of Snow Leopard and the new Boot Camp drivers, but in the meantime, I can only recommend users to use an external mouse with two buttons for Windows.
Heat and Noise
MacBook Pro has the perfect temperature management in OS X. It will be almost silent all the time and cool down quickly after idling. This is a completely different story with Windows, however, if the laptop works much warmer, even when idling, and it takes longer to cool. Nevertheless, two fans in the Macbook Pro is very quiet because it is the default Hitachi 500GB hard drive.
1282576415_1180288881.jpg
MacBook Pro temperature in the light load
When in heavy load conditions over a long period time at the bottom of the Macbook Pro does not become uncomfortably warm enough to use on your lap. At the top of the laptop is gently warm in such a situation, due to the conductive properties of aluminum.
Obtaining accurate temperature reading of a laptop under stress was rather difficult due to the highly efficient cooling system. The screenshot below was obtained immediately after the restart after running several performance tests on Windows.

Back side of the MacBook Pro with display hinge and has a port
For 15 laptop, MacBook Pro, surprisingly few ports and some ports were not very strong and mixed with the opinions of the users.
Apple also includes an SD card slot in Macbook Pro models. It is very friendly to users who request a function for many years, but the slot is not universal and only supports cards full size SD. The 15 Macbook Pro models, Apple has removed the ExpressCard slot. This enraged many users who rely on devices Expresscard expansion.
Firewire in the Macbook models has also been changed from the FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 Increased speed is a welcome change, but the FireWire 800 port is not directly compatible with FireWire 400 devices. Additional converter is required to connect the FireWire 400 FireWire 800 devices, and this with great criticism from many users.
Mini DisplayPort port on the MacBook Pro supports external displays up to 25601600. This means that you can connect a 30 Apple Cinema Display to MacBook Pro and run it at full resolution. But Mini DisplayPort is licensed by Apple, and therefore requires an additional adapter to convert to other more common interface displays, such as VGA, DVI and HDMI.
All MacBook and MacBook Pro has a slot loading optical drives, which means that the mini-disks can not be used on the MacBooks and become stuck in the drive. The battery indicator on the side of a laptop is ridiculous features , although their usefulness is rather limited.
two USB ports on the 15 Macbook Pro is on the left side of the laptop, which would significantly impaired users who require a port in a more convenient location on your laptop, as well as and right handed users wired Apple Mighty Mouse. The only area in relation to ports, where the 15 MacBook Pro improves on the 13 Macbook Pro is the presence of separate Audio-In and Audio-Out ports.
At home, I personally have my Macbook connected to a Gigabit Ethernet network, connected to a 24 monitor which has a built-in USB hub and wired for 2.1 sound system. In this regard, having all the ports of one hand it is useful. However, those with slightly different requirements than mine may have problems and limitations when expanding their Macbook Pro with peripheral devices.
and reference values
Here some results of performance tests run on the 2.8 GHz 15 Macbook Pro.
Xbench:
In OS X, Xbench test was run several times with both the NVIDIA 9400M and 9600M GT from nVidia.
From 9400M performance peaked at 151.41 points and the bottom at 138.33. The 9600M GT, performance peaked at 151.77 points and the bottom at 147.92. From the results, it is clear that the factor bottlenecks Macbook Pro is its 500GB hard drive. For 9400M, there is no clear effect on memory as it is shared with the GPU.
Overall, the 2.8 GHz 15 Macbook Pro shows an overall improvement of 4.34% at the end of the previous advance(2.66GHz) 15 Macbook Pro(145.43) and an overall improvement 7.53% over the next configuration(2.66GHz) 15 Macbook Pro(141.14).
interesting anomaly results from Xbench results are graphics tests. The results between the 9400M and 9600M GT are surprisingly similar , possibly an indication that the research carried out by graphical Xbench is not the full load GPU nVidia MacBooks.

Further tests were carried out in Windows to get more accurate and comparable results in the performance of MacBook Pro. The following tests were conducted on Windows Vista SP1, nVidia drivers 186.03 installed mobility.
PCMark Vantage:
PCMark Vantage yielded a result of 4304 PCMarks. This is a significant improvement of 22% from 3,525 PCMarks scored the next configuration(2.66GHz) 15 Macbook Pro, and a huge 19% improvement from the previous upper PCMarks 3606(2.66 GHz) 15 Macbook Pro.
3DMark06:
2.8GHz 15 Macbook Pro scored a total of 5978 3dmarks. It is a small 2.70% improvement compared to the previous upper(2.66 GHz) 15 macbook Pro case
macbook Pro case Pro3. This result is hardly surprising, since both GPU notebooks are the same. The reason is a slight improvement, with the acceleration.
3DMark Vantage:
W 3DMark Vantage Macbook Pro Score 2045 3dmarks with the 1602 GPU and CPU Score 12011 assessment.
Resident Evil 5:
Running at a resolution of 1280800 in DirectX 9.0cz Motion Blur enabled, no AA and all settings High, Macbook Pro managed an average of 27.8 fps on the benchmark set, and 26.7 fps on a variable performance.
In DirectX 10, the same settings,macbook Pro case, managed 27.8 fps on a permanent basis and interesting benchmark 27 fps on the variable performance.
These figures may seem a bit small, but the demo looked excellent on-screen macbook Pro case and was comfortable playing. Its just a shame people in the demo as unskilled.

wPrime:
wPrime had conducted a number of times the benchmark CPU performance by calculating the square root of 32 million numbers executed in four separate threads.
wPrime results were very similar, with the fastest score in 28.222 seconds and 28.781 seconds in the slowest. These results are the average results for the T9600 CPU(the fastest registered hwbot.org is 26.74 and 31.10 is the slowest).
HDTune:
HDTune was made several times to obtain a fair comparison of performance 500GB 5400rpm Hitachi HD.
Average transfer rate peaked at 63.3MB / s, and at the bottom of 62.8MB / s. The lowest recorded was the transfer of 28.2MB / s, with the highest recorded in 83.6MB / s. These results are very en par with other 5400rpm 500GB mobile hard drives.
 
Apple boasts that the battery 73W/hr the MacBook Pro is capable of running machine for seven hours, from what Ive seen so far, this claim is surprisingly accurate. Battery Macbook Pro battery is by far the longest Ive ever seen in a notebook of this size. With special 9600M GT enabled, I personally have about 4 to 5 hours of light using WiFi and Bluetooth, and without reducing the display brightness or the backlight keyboard. With 9400M, I have about 6 to 7 hours, which is very impressive. In moments of inactivity, the battery indicator on the MacBook Pro displays up to 9 hours of rest.
In Windows, the battery life is limited, but getting three up to 4 hours using the 9600M GT in the light of the use is still possible.
SATA Limited
When Apple initially released Macbook refresh in June 2009, all models were your hard drive SATA II is limited to 1.5Gbps(150MB / s), as opposed to 3.0Gbps(300MB / s) throughput. Although this does not affect anyone using a mechanical hard drive SATA II is limited to 1.5Gbps(150MB / s), as opposed to 3.0Gbps(300MB / s) throughput.

The interface layout, between Apple and PC computers have some obvious differences, we also passed the MacBook Pro just to illustrate. Apple's popular high-capacity data storage systems rely on IEEE 1394 interface for this is because the interface than the USB 2.0 high transfer stability.

In addition to the power switch and the keys on the keyboard, MacBook Pro and there is no other shortcut keys, and perhaps this will make many people feel that it is not human, but in fact Apple's shortcuts through the "apple key" + other letter keys to achieve, This saves an extra button in order to ensure the appearance of simplicity. Of course, this is for the lazy, to control a large number of MacBook Pro to have to remember the shortcut key combination, really asking for trouble a bit.

As for the light, MacBook Pro does not have many lights on, power indicator which is not in the power switch, but in the power adapter and connect the plug on the body. When the laptop off for charging, the indicator is red, full of green, the computer boot light has been green. The sleep indicator light is on the screen lock button, the machine sleep when the light was "breathing" status by the dim light, then dark, brighten, and constantly "breathing."
2 keyboard and touchpad
MacBook Pro's keyboard feels very good, the key process, bond distance and flexibility are often quite suitable for the user typing. Caps are very particular about the material, on the keycap on the phone, can feel its soft, but when the actual percussion, keys of force feedback is still accurate.

For PC users, using this keyboard is the most convenient place to get used to - used to the "Apple key" as the "Windows key" to use, used to not NumsLock key keyboard, and the habit of using F1 ~ F12 of the unspoken rules ( adjust the screen brightness, volume, etc. do not need to press the Fn key a).
Touchpad, the effect does not support the compact Apple notebook to achieve click PC users need most is a little habits. In addition, although the MacBook Pro's touchpad buttons long and wide, but only on behalf of a left functional.

In Windows mode, we have professional testing equipment by Konica Minolta CS-200 Color Analyzer tested it. Test results show that the center of the screen more than 300 lumens of brightness, brightness uniformity and also reached the level of excellence, but in the absence of any screen settings, the screen contrast is not high.

4 camera (iSight)
Camera on the MacBook Pro is called iSight, this 30-megapixel camera, image quality in general, but the response speed is also good. Its most distinctive point is the user when taking a picture, a 3,2,1 countdown timer, the machine after the screen will instantly turn white, in order to achieve the flash. In the absence of the corresponding software support, iSight in Vista should be difficult to achieve multi-video, and view multiple chatters image.
5 Heat and Noise
MacBook Pro's casing is made basic by the metal, if the machine is still a long put, then the staff just does it feel when the machine will be able to feel the shell is very cold.

After entering Vista, CPU core temperature between 42 ~ 43 degrees Celsius, 100% load when the CPU enters the state, the core temperature rapidly increased to 81 to 83 degrees Celsius. But the MacBook Pro's design is quite cautious, when the CPU to the highest temperature, CPU core frequency automatically reduced to 1GHz, this time the CPU core temperature under control, and down. To 60 degrees Celsius, CPU 2.33GHz frequency back to the state.

As the evaluation process is the critical point of release of Leopard, Apple has long ceased to provide the official download Bootcamp, we also had a third-party website before the release of the latest version of Leopard Bootcamp (1.4 Beta) installed, just follow the installation guide Bootcamp can be completed successfully the installation of Windows Vista, because PConline evaluation room in the last year tried to install Windows XP MacBook case, the installation of Vista it appears more forward-looking and representation.

Summary
Leopard's release has a very far-reaching significance, first of all it is the old Apple users a gluttonous feast meal, functional and beautiful at the same, and secondly, it has taken close to PC users, the most important step. Because of this, we in this evaluation of the MacBook Pro is especially important.
Test results show that, macbook Pro case performance full compliance with general performance notebook Intel Centrino architecture, even though platform is Centrino 3, MacBook Pro configuration is still Centrino 4 platform with high-end models a draw, but unfortunately the price exceeds the high-end Centrino 4 generation of notebook average. As more and more Apple brand display in front of consumers, coupled with Leopard's official listing, we believe that there will be a part of the original PC consumers admiring and play Mac system, which should also hope to see Apple to allow more consumers about Apple, so that more consumers to compare apples systems and Windows systems.
· Advantages: higher hardware configuration, support for Mac OS and Windows operating systems;
· Disadvantages: higher prices, the original PC users need to spend some time to adapt.

3 Ways to Get a Discount on an Apple Macbook Pro

There are many ways to save money on a new macbook Pro case. Some of them will save you $20, while others have the potential to save you hundreds of dollars. In today's difficult economy, it has become essential to save as much money as possible on the things that we need. So, in light of the situation, I have found 3 ways to get the best possible discount on a Macbook Pro. These are the Apple Education Store, the Apple Refurbished Store, and various free giveaways. Here are some of the pros and cons of each.
The Apple Education Store is perhaps the most well-known of all of these methods. Whenever you hear someone remark on how expensive Apple computers are, you'll almost always hear someone say "Hey, just go to the Education Store." But these same people never tell you how much that they saved. So, here's the deal. A Macbook Pro on the Apple Education Store website is marked down either $100 or $200, depending on the model. Both of the 13 inch models are marked down $100, as is the cheaper of the 15 inch models. The higher end 15 inch and 17 inch Macbook Pro gets a discount of $200. This means, that for a 15 inch macbook Pro case, you still pay $1,699. In the end, this doesn't seem like a discount. Also, it's only available to students and teachers. Apple does confirm eligibility before you can order, so don't expect to get the discount if you are not a student or teacher. In short, this method is not as lucrative as it may seem.
The next biggest suggestion that is thrown around a lot is the Refurbished Models section of the Apple Store. Like most computer companies, Apple offers a significant discount on rebuilt and recertified products. Many of these models have been used as display models, or were returned for minor, easily repaired defects. All models sold as refurbished by Apple carry the same 1 year warranty as a brand new computer. However, getting the newest model can be a challenge. If you can find one, however, savings can be $300 to $350, which is a significantly better deal than buying as a student. However, many people have no confidence in refurbished goods. If you feel that the savings are worth any trouble that might arise for a broken product, or are willing to buy a slightly older model, then buying an Apple recertified Macbook Pro may be the solution for you.
There are also many free giveaways on the internet as well. Most people stay away from the ones that require you to complete 13 different offers, as those are not really free, although $200 to $300 is actually a great deal. However, there are many contests that allow you to enter for free, and although it is not guaranteed that you will win, they are a completely cost free method to obtaining a Macbook Pro.
As you can see, it is entirely possible to get a significant discount on macbook Pro case. Although it may seem that to get the best deal, you would have to do a lot more work, that isn't the case. These discounts are available to a wide variety of people. It is entirely possible to use any one of these methods to save a couple hundred dollars on a laptop that will last for many years. There are even methods that will save you almost the entire purchase price.

1. Secure your macbook Pro case with a password
When a Mac is setup for the first time, and a user account is created, Mac automatically log in that user account every time it is booted or woken from sleep. This feature is fine as long as you are working on a desktop, but if you are using a Macbook notebook, it would be advisable to turn this feature off. The reason is that, God forbid, if your Mac gets stolen, or you are away, any unauthorized person can easily access your information.
2. Tips to elongate your Mac's battery life while travelling
With a MacBook, the keyboard is always lit up. While this is certainly a great feature, it does drain out your battery pretty soon. In order to stretch your battery life, you may want to turn off the keyboard backlighting and Bluetooth; it would be also a good idea to dim the display as low as is possible. These tips are especially useful when you are travelling and the only source of keeping your Mac working is its battery.
3. Get AppleCare for your MacIf you own a MacBook, it is a good idea to get AppleCare. This comes in handy if something goes wrong with your macbook Pro case once the warranty period has expired. If you have to get your Mac repair on your own, it is going to cost you a fortune.
4. Get a USB or MiFi data cardThe MacBook comes with built-in WiFi, but the problem is that if you are a road warrior, you don't find WiFi coverage everywhere. So to stay connected, it is a good idea to carry a 3G data card.
5. Back it up before you leave
Always expect unexpected. Yes, it is good to be prepared for the worst. You can implement this principle with your Macbook by always having a backup of your hard disk. If you are going to travel with your macbook Pro case, it is strongly recommended that you backup your entire data before you head out of the door. If something worst happens, you know your data is safe.6. Take a bootable backup with you If your Macbook is so indispensable to your life, then you should have something that you can use in case your drive crashes when you needed your Mac the most. You should be able to boot it immediately and continue with your work. For that reason, it is a good idea to carry a portable hard drive that carries a clone of your entire hard drive. 7. TSA friendly bag
If you are a frequent flyer, and find it quite troublesome to take out your laptop every time you have to check in, you can go for a TSA friendly bag. With this bag you save yourself trouble of taking out your laptop every time when you have to go through the security check at the airport.
