oh, i found the apple online store already. is it cheaper to order from there? sorry for asking newbie questions.
 and if i get a macbook and i want to link it to my desktop monitor, must i get extra cables? is the cables to connect included in the box? i'm using a samsung monitor. and seems like they don't have speakers/headphone for macbook. can i use ipod headphone to link to my macbook?

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Apr 30 2010, 09:57 PM) haha no lar. download programs for mac same like windows. juz google, download n install, buy cd also can. juz check the system compatibility, can support mac os x or not. they usually come in .dmg format instead of windows' .exe maybe u confuse with iphone apps. that one can only buy from apple  QUOTE(viper-xs @ Apr 30 2010, 10:16 PM) It depends on what you want on your laptop. For me I bought VMware myself and Microsoft office media expression (got it free from MS). Rest all downloaded from website as in freeware. That would be for normal casual users. Alot of mac website have freeware programs that would satisfy the hunger for normal user. Plus some programs can be easily ported to mac minus the interface if you are familiar with *nix. hey thanks guys. any recommended programs/games? Think as normal casual user where you got skype, msn, ym, torrent, qq, vlc etc and you can have it all on mac for free same like windows counterpart. If you are photo video editing enthusiast then I guess you need alot more programs for mac and thus for those you will need to buy it in CD or via e-delivery. For mac there's no official central repository as in iPhone/iPad  . i've checked that my monitor is using VGA adaptor but i see the pictures in applestore its different from my monitor one. i mean they are terbalik. |
