Purchase? none of that.

What kind of Speakers/Monitors would anyone suggest, because the speakers built into Macbook Pro's are wack.

Portable I guess....I'm not looking for Entertainment Center type speakers

my HDTV and my Stereo System has all that.


Henz - I see J.O. has been convincing you?

dude talks about this Macbook like it's new life.

Q these are the truth

They'll take a line-in from your computer, plus are great for iPods, very portable...I take them with me when I play ball, to the beach
Highly recommended, plus cheap

recently upgraded with some crucial RAM for my 2.4 iMac. that what they recommended at the mac store if I didn't want to be price gouged from the mac ram.much quicker now
and got a 1TB LaCie FireWire800 external to back up all my vuze downloaded movies. pretty quick for the most part.
and been loving iStat keeping an eye on how my system is being utilized. I am relatively new to macs (6 months) and am pleased that there are so many free appsfor mac

I'm actually looking into getting speakers soon and I've been researching, you should look into either of the following:

M-AudioAV40

Swans M10

Both get pretty good reviews and neither are too expensive. I've narrowed my search down to those two sets. I'm just not sure whether I want a sub ornot (Swans M10).

 

[realtalkaz]

and do you guys think theywill release one with a camera in the future?

You should look into some WD external hard drive, like the 'Passport', decent price, portable, and pretty good reviews.
