u shud hv postes mac vs vista...

i tink these 2 are more similiar?

Well this is what I've been telling some friends of mine about jumpting to the Mac camp.

Vista is very much like MacOS, it's somewhat different from XP and you have to familiarize yourself with it. So regardless of upgrading to Vista or MacOS, there's still alot of learning to be done. So why not just go Mac? It's way cooler and just better than Windows. You can even run Windows on it if you really want. There's no better time to switch camp than now really.

Somehow, they don't really wanna listen to me
But yeah Mac in Malaysia will be cheaper. I think the price difference is caused by VAT.

it's funny how some people think that using a Mac is like changing religion. pretty much like how some users think Intel, AMD, nVidia, ATi, Canon, Nikon are their religion.

i can do with both ms and apple
but i still have a lot to learn on tweaking mac

I had a look at the Parallels Coherence feature and it is soooo coool. This might just push me over the edge and make me switch.

buying a MAC doesn't mean you SWITCHED. it just means you're more exposed.

Mac fanboyism = religious fanaticism?

yep. For some softwares, you still need use windows.. For me, i won't switch. I use 3 OSs, xp, ubuntu and mac osx(hackintosh ).

hehe. i use 3 too. OS X, XP, SUSe. (that also i don't count Ubuntu and Slax la which are my other favourites)

I am totally very very unfamiliar with Apple. The most I have done with an iMAC (my office) is just some very simple video editing, safari, the words etc, everything that's very surface. My comment is..I think the Mac is very not user friendly.

However, due to the slash priced macbook(last batch), I am very tempted to own my first apple. However, I am very concern wheter I can master the apple, and will I be able to pair it with my current laptop and pc in window.

I need your advice:-
1) is 2.0 processor speed faster than a normal Sony Vaio 1.77 processor (T5500)
2) is it really difficult to get use with Mac?
3) I do video editing, photoshop, illustrator (design) and play some games like Civilization IV. Do you think that the MB is good enuff for this? I am not a heavy gamer, I like only strategy games.
4) Is it difficult to use Vista in MB? Will it jeopardies the machine?

I really a dummy in Apple world, but I like to take my first step to be a apart of it. so guys, please help or gimme any other valuable advice.

all processor are same , try to compare core 2 duo and single core ...

core 2 duo = 2 processor




keyword = learning . previously i'm not Mac user , but i learnt something when i'm being a Linux user ...try use mac in all kind of condition .... productivity , gaming , your video project and so forth




i love games and i played Call of Duty 2 on my Macbook Pro . very impressive . no lagging , no resource hunger . sometimes, i using video editing tools like Motion . So far , my laptop never let me down.

i never use vista , but i used XP in my MBP (seldom , in order to test it run on my machine ) ...but better not use XP , while Mac already spice up your life

Cool thanks. But I think the processor does has something to do with speed. Ram is actually just make the work smoother, so indirectly it helps in speed, but processor is the one determine how fast a computer. So comparing a C2D 2.0 (MB) using OX to C2D1.77( Vaio) using Vista, which one is faster?

for this comparison ...i cannot comment much on it ...

i see alot of OSX advantage for this new macbook pro . faster processor and smooth operation .

i prefer u to test drive on Mac at any authorized Apple shop...u'll wont be regret

i only use Windows at my office ....when i get home ..i will use Mac as my primary OS

You won't see much difference with the different processor, I've not used Vista before, but heard that it uses up a lot of resources. OSX on the other hand runs perfectly.

Dont compare the processors though, cause in the end is how much of RAM you have.

Thanks guys! I think I shall get a MB then. Woo hoo! Can i install leopard later? Will it be expensive to do so?

I heard somewhere Leopard will be like around RM500...quite expensive if you ask me. So if you think the price is too high, you have to wait...
