QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Nov 9 2010, 01:31 PM) hey guys, try using time machine. i've did an upgrade on my macbook recently and it's painless. it's so easy as mentioned by dvlzplayground. if u useSuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, it's a paid software. if u don't have time machine back up yet, now is the time to do. just do a time machine back up on your ext hdd (u need to format it to hfs), then once u've install the new drive, just put in the os x dvd, boot, then do a restore. it will restore everything just like before on your previous hdd. no need to reinstall all the software.i plan to purchase an higher capacity hard disc for my mbp. would like to know is there any way to make sure that the new one has the same softwares as the my current hard disc? im worried that all the software that i purchased will b gone. and im running out of hard disc space to store anything new. any recommendations on brands or types of hard disc i shud get? thanks! |

QUOTE(Christopher7 @ Nov 11 2010, 12:34 AM) hmmm.. 1) Depends what u plan to do with it. If u are a heavy user, go mbp. if u travel alot, consider mba.Do you think i should go for Macbook? instead of Macbook pro Intel GMA? which year Mac using this? 2GB DDR3 memory - is 2GB good enuff? NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics / NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256 MB - Is the graphics nice? what is the 256MB? 64GB flash storage1 - What is this? Sorry for being such noob 2) it's found in macbook 2006, 2007. Some also found in higher spec MBP with dual GPU. 3) nvidia 320m is on mbp 13 and gt 330m in mbp 15. - the 320m is an intergrated card while the gt 330m is a dedicated gpu. although same 256mb ram, due to its native performance, gt 330m performed better. 4) 64 gb storage is the flash storage as found in mobile phones. it does not use any rotating parts ala normal hdd. hope that makes u clear. |

QUOTE(gome @ Jan 20 2011, 10:38 PM) the above 2 sentences makes much sense in their own context...but at the same time they are contradictory hahaha Macs have better resale value but on a more serious note, i guess apple products do carry their premium price through the years eh? people just rate it highly, which is a good thing for resale. hmm...i guess it's a keeper? |
