TQ wei...but some other people said take MBP 13 and pair with lcd 24" like Dell Ultrasharp....so what u say?

More money to spend. That depends on your budget.
Don't forget you have to spend $ to get the mini display out adapter. Then if you work on external screen, you might need a keyboard n mouse. More money to spend.

Hi guys,

I'm still thinking which should i go?

MBP 13" + LCD 24" DELL or iMac 20" (early 08)

I'm just found iMac 20" 2.66Ghz around RM2500. Isn't good deal? My friend asking to take MBP 13" + lcd but cost more expensive..

Or i'm buying iMac 20" and later buy MBP 13"?

Any advices?

My take on it will be the MacBook Pro 13". You get a portable laptop and a proper workspace back home.
At home, use the 24" Monitor. Plus, if you need to do your work outside, plug off the monitor and off you go.

will macbook pro launch the new model or spec by this year or next few month?

Buying Using Aeon credit buy imac....u think woth it ar?

i tot of doing the same but not using Aeon Credit. Use credit card installment plan.

@naughtyz,
You haven't provided sufficient information for discussion. What is it that you want us to discuss about? What are the rates being offered?

And to rest.. this isn't Kopitiam, please do not spam

The best method if your budget tight, get the loan from your credit card. Not the fast cash, it some thing like personal loan with much lower interest, around 0.5~0.8/ month depend on which bank

for your info my thread is merge and has been move here by david gary, all the info is stated at the head of the thread, i dont think ppl in here need to explain every to get understand.

For those who are not understand, I need to buy imac for my work, i dunt like to carry laptop.

I would to buy via easy payment but as i see most of the easy payment is via credit card, so what i try to ask is anybody in LYN bought MAC using Easy-credit like Aeon?

Hey guys, I'm planning to move over from Windows to Mac. If I were to have a

Dell Studio XPS 16
and
Macbook Pro 13" or 15"

Can anyone convince me why I should get the Macbook Pro?
As I see the macbook pro 15" can play anygame as the dell studio xps can. Usually I would just play tf2, l4d, warcraft and those range of games and do my assignments. I don't see what I can miss out in a mac compared to windows. All I am lacking now is the experience using mac

EDIT: Oh yeah, is there any new macbook pros coming out soon? Might as well just wait or something if it isn't far from now

buy macbook if u wan a good looking laptop.

Pls. Don't just buy a book cause the cover is pretty. Makesure you gonna make use and happy with what it can do for you.

If you ask such question on a Mac centric section. Answer going to be bias. LOL.

Hi i just want to ask. If i want to buy from Apple Online Store, can I choose to buy from other countries online Store instead of Malaysia's online Store?
If i buy from let's say USA's Online Store, do they provide free shipping as well? Im asking coz im interested with "refurbished" set from USA's Online Store. Thanks

I'm thinking of getting a macbook. But donno whether i should go for pro or just macbook. Okay, basically what i'm going to do this this macbook is that i want to do some editting work, mostly using the final cut pro and also another photoshop programme. So can anyone please tell me whether the most basic macbook will do a good job for this?

Thanks!

final cut pro. should be using macbook pro for that.

If final cut express i think it runs ok in macbook

If you your video workload/worktask is heavy, you should go for mbp 15" with 9600. If your video workload/task is simple, a 13" mbp should able to do it.

xps 16 is a good laptop with good specs and a good price. it doesnt look as elegant n classy as macbook pro though.
before this, it was using vista which is crappy but now the win 7 is coming out, so it is BETTER in terms of OS. but do check out which kind of win7 are u planning to get. are u a developer? or just a normal user? if u r a student, i think it's ok to go for the standard edition. but if u r a hardcore developer, esp a .net developer, go for ultimate which can be costly.

also in terms of performance, even though xps 16 is better in hardware, it still lacks behind macbook pro DEFINITELY. coz of what? dell's bloatwares. the startup alone will take longer than mbp. and it's also heavier.


but i suggest u get mbp 13 and not 15 coz the price will jst shoot over the top due to applecare.


to b honest i was comparing xps 16 vs mbp 13 before i got mbp 13.

@Grajindo,
Also, ask urself what your budget is. As I've shared once upon a time and to many people; I know a lot of great Creative people who use the MB because they find the MBP a lil heavy; of course now they mostly use the 13" MBP
