Yo I got a question (not that tech savy) my Mac book pro is like 5 years old and still running 4.1 tiger. Can I just upgrade straight to snow leopard 6 skipping leopard 5?

SSD'S are flash memory, no mechanical parts. The read and writ speed are way faster than hard drive. Only thing they are expensive. If you do an ssd and hardrive option. You can buy a small ssd just for os and programs.

so you dont have to press down on the botton everytime, all you have to do is tap it.
Save your trackpad from wearing out so far, when you press down on the trackpad so much the screw under it get loose and doesnt click and you have to open up bottom of ur laptop to adjust the screw so the trackpad work good again.
didn't know about this, thanks. I hated to click on it
the best thing. dont forget the secondary tap.

I found the website that has it (panic), but do I have to pay for individual icons as well..?
do you have a secondary hard drive? I use 256gb but thats because I run alot of programs like cs5 suite, final cut, logic pro tools. I still have 115 gb left over...so a bit over kill. I use my secondary hd for music and storage.Originally Posted by omgitswes

We got on the subject of HDD prices due to the flood, he said that they should be going down in the next few months or so and also that SSD prices should drop to $1.00 per gig. I hope it's sooner than later, I want a huge SSD. This 60gb aint cutting it.

It depends on the brand of the laptop and how the user takes care of it. apple stuff does break down. Walk into an apple store and see all of those people bringing stuff to the genius bar. I bought my sister a new mbp and its hard drive crapped out after one year.Originally Posted by Air273

If you don't need that much space get a 128gb. Much cheaper and could be found for $150 - 200.
