Seagate is not Mac compatible, but I got a Western Digital and I can use it as a time machine, just with time capsule it is wireless, I just plug mine in whenI want to backup. If you delete it off of your HD, it will be stored on the time capsule. The price difference is pretty large, $100+ (refurb) just forwireless. My Western Digital has no problems at all with time machine, and it is 500 gb for about $80-90 at Wal-Mart.

^Thanks! I'll definitely look into the Western Digital, the time machine capsule did seem a bit out of my$$$ range to begin with

Sup Fam...

Its been a while, was on vacation for the past month or so, mac crashed on me while i was there

. Now i gotta start from the bottom

 

[air kamote23]

I've read on macrumor that during the Snow Leopard upgrade, if it detected that a program is not compatible, it will be put to a separate folder until thedeveloper release a version compatible for SL...in short some say that some programs may not work with SL...with that said I have to postpone my upgrade andwait for users feedback here and other boards...so far I am completely satisfied with Leopard.

MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G

 

[sdtekken]

So Ive finally decided that Im going to pick up a MacBook Pro. My question is do you guys get by fine with Windows not being your main OS? I just dont want torun into a problem where its like "Ah man you need Windows for that" or something to that effect.

Also what are you thoughts on the 15.4 vs 17 MBP? The price difference is

. The 17 is in my price range but Im kinda torn cuz I would like to have a 17 but is it really worth it for that extra 2 inches?

Thanks for your input fellas!

iWork really isn't that good, when it comes down to correcting things.

Also KeyNote isn't really compatiable with Powerpoint, In college I had too do so many changes the day before class with messed up slides.

Microsoft Word > iWork

Word > Pages
Keynote > PP (But when it comes to putting on a PC) PP > Keynote

 

[jimmybeanz]

just wondering which you guys think is better for a laptop for practical use; a cooling pad or a cooling fan?

 

[retroisback2008]

^^Cooling Pad.
