Pros: Its a well built machine with an operating system that is less likely to receive viruses. Cons: Apple laptops are generally more expensive, there are a few things that arent supported on apple, and there are less places that fix their laptops aside from the obvious apple store. You should still be able to get on the internet and go on facebook and all that other good stuff.
2 :
Pros: 1. Less viruses and pretty much no spyware 2. Unix based Operating System 3. Simplicity of the OS Cons: 1. Program compatibility 2. Difficult to Upgrade 3. Software selection is limited 4. Poor choice for gaming

Try right clicking and selecting make this my backround, or it says something like that. but never used apple, so not sure if it is the same.
2 :
ok find the image you want from the Internet and click on it to see if it makes the image bigger, because the bigger the image is the less blurry it is for the wallpaper but if it doesn't get any bigger that is ok too,ok right click the image and there should be box and a list of stuff you can do, but on the list it should say make image wallpaper and then just click on that
3 :
Using Safari right click and save to iPhoto. Open iPhoto and choose the image, in the Share menu > click on Desktop.

you should just get the hp envy while your at it because its gonna look like a macbook but its going to have way better performance.

The touchsmart is a very poor performing laptop. Check out reviews of it. Get the lenovo x201 if you want a tablet.

You should worry more about which one is going to last you longer. A macbook will on average last you 6-8 years with no problems. An HP, far far less. Speed might be similar but quality is not.

How do I start over again with an Apple laptop?

How do I start over again with an Apple laptop?
My dad gave me his Mac and I want to restart the laptop as if it's all new. But I want to keep his 7GB worth of songs. How do I make it all new and keep the songs at the same time? Is it possible to move the songs to a flash memory? Thanks in advance. :) ~Mehh (:

If you put all of the songs into iTunes, then put all of those on a back-up disc, which is what iTunes asks you to do every-so-often, then you will have his entire libraray on one disc. Once you have done whatever you feel necessary to the Apple notebook you can insert the disc when the machine is on and put all the files back on. Hope this helps. And it does work cause I have recently done the same with my iTunes library. Enjoy. xxxxx
2 :
back up the songs on a disk or external hard drive, then i would recommend getting the latest version of leopard for mac, its around $120 bucks, this way you can get all the newest updates and best system thats out right now. If you have a mac store or mac authority store around, you can call them and ask them for help, they are usually really helpful
3 :
You can put them on flash drives, DVDs, or an external hard drive. IF the MAC has leopard you can take it back to fresh out of the box. It is called Time Machine.

To connect it, you'd have to either plug the Ethernet wire into your Mac (meaning you have to take it out of your other computer), or set up a wireless network using a router (approx. $30-60).

Get a Mac. You won't be sacrificing quality at all. In fact, Mac quality is generally better than PCs. Apple is consistently ranked very high or highest in customer satisfaction. Mac users are often considered fanatics about their computers, and for good reason. We see PC users all around us having trouble, so we know how good we have it! I wouldn't consider getting any other computer, especially since I won a PC laptop as a door prize a couple of years ago. That thing has caused more problems than all the Macs I've ever owned combined. The PC hasn't had any hardware issues, only Windows problems, but there are plenty of those!

If it's text, you highlight it, then hold down the key to the left of the space bar with the apple and the clover on it, and while you're still holding that key down, also press the c key. To paste the text click on the part of the document that you want the text to go, and then press and hold the apple/clover key, then press the v key. If you want to copy a picture, press the ctrl key (two keys left from the apple key) and then click over the picture.

Highlight what you want to copy. Then press the apple key (left of spacebar I think) + c. Paste is apple + v. You can also set up a right click in settings and right-click highlighted stuff and copy if that's what you prefer.

You could try the "Open office" suite (freeware, from Sun Microsystems). There's a setting for 'translating' Microsoft <>Open office... not real sure on the Apple aspect, but it's free, so worth a look. For the global settings: Oo> Tools> Options> Load/Save>Microsoft: here check whether you want Oo to handle incoming Microsoft 'stuff' (L) and/or to have your 'stuff' saved so that it can be exported to a Microsoft application (S).

Refurbished means that someone bought the laptop, it didn't work, they took it back. Apple fixed it and is now selling it. They can't sell it as new, so they knock something off the price & called it refurbished. I have no hesitation about buying something refurbished. Usually you get the same guarantee as a with new equipment. A major advantage of refurbished gear. It's been tested by the company. New stuff they assume works.

If the mac book was stolen and sold to the pawn shop, a remote locking mechanism may have been triggered when you connected up to the internet.

Anyway, try eBay, if you don't like Craigslist. Also do a search in Google for "used Mac laptops" or something like this and you'll get a bunch of places selling them. There's one more place to check. It's your local laptop repair shop. Many repair shops sell laptops they've repaired and some even give you some warranty.

Yes Would you NOT buy it if the apple didn't light up? P.S. - You watch too much TV
5 :
WTH is a pear laptop ? To answer your question, yes the outside Apple logo on all macbooks light up. So you basing your decision on buying a laptop on if the logo on the lid of the laptop lights up ? I've heard dumber reasons surprisingly.

What is the benefit of buying an apple laptop with a solid state hard drive?

What is the benefit of buying an apple laptop with a solid state hard drive?
I'm thinking of buying one of the new Macbooks from Apple. I usually go by the philosophy of buying the highest level of technology that I can afford.... but in this case... I'm not sure whether the solid state hard drive is worth the money.

The main profit is that they're extremly fast, thats pretty much the difference from SSD and HDD. SSD though has very small amount of space (for some that is), but if you dont need alot of that, Id say go for it.
2 :
Solid state hard drive have no moving parts, kind of like a an external flash drive but much faster and the capacity is much greater. Solid state drives are however very expensive if bought separately. But their claim to fame is almost zero read/write times since there is no disk inside spinning. They are worth every penny.
3 :
little to none ---no storage and very xpensive ---- u should never defrag a solidstate hard drive
4 :
IMHO the advantage of the solid state drive is its lesser sensitivity to vibration, its lesser heat output, its greater speed of access, and if I recall its greater capacity. However, there is to consider its greater price. Some say also that the hard drive has a sophisticated enough motion sensor to nullify my argument about lesser sensitivity to motion. Some say that my notion of lesser heat output is pure hooey. There have been conflicting tests of speed. On a thumb drive, I am sure, there is a definite lifetime, a discrete number of "fillups" it may endure. I'm not sure whether or not this is true of EITHER hard drives OR SSDs.
5 :
"I usually go by the philosophy of buying the highest level of technology that I can afford." Bad philosophy. Just because you can under-spend and get what you paid for, does;t mean that there is also an opposite extreme of declining returns. Also, remember all those iPhone early adopters who found out they could have saved themselves some money by simply waiting for an iPhone. "I'm not sure whether the solid state hard drive is worth the money." Unless you specify what your priorities are, there's no way for anybody to answer this question for you - solid state drives allow for ultraportable computers with built in HD. You're either willing to pay for that extra portability or you're not. People can only tell you what will suit your priorities - not what your priorities are. Are you even sure you knwo what you want?

hi vee dee, apple is far from the best cause that title is held by dell according to consumer report but when you talk apple although they come out with some good products their computers is a lost dog, no offence the reason is they are having petition problems. please aloow me to explain when you buy apple computer you get a tune-up diskett that gives your computer it's mac and people uses internet explorer 7 and windows xp on it but then you have an error and that is any error you are automaticly shot right to your windows which is mac. bummer man cause you lost all of that information plus your time and date is screwed up also so what you do is put your tune up diskett in your dvd driver and start all over again but you lost all of that data. good luck hope i was helpful to you

When is the best time to buy an Apple laptop?

When is the best time to buy an Apple laptop?
I don't know enough about their release patterns to know when they are likely to release a new or updated laptop. Does anyone have a good feel for the best time of the year to buy a new laptop. In the car business, new cars tend to hit at the end of the Summer, and that helps you get a feel for when you should time your purchase. I don't want to buy a laptop only to see the thing replaced by something 2x as fast a month later. Thanks in advance.

I got a Dell XPS its perfect, the customer service is great, and the prices are logical. I just LUV my Dell !! Apple notebooks with the same configs, are just more expensive than of Dell's, donno why. I AM completely satisfied with my dell ;)
4 :
both are good companies with well made products.. If you are going to spend for an apple, you would be comparing to a dell studio series or xps series NOT an inspiron series. Macs are well built, but they are hard to get used to at first. They are generally better for professional musicians and journalists. They are more expensive, more expensive to repair, more expensive to maintain and software is more expensive for the same exact title. PC's are better for MOST people. If you are watching video, surfing the net and listening to music, you should get a PC Dells are cheaper to maintain, they have better repair policies. In most cases it's in home or office,next business day instead of waiting for a few weeks or having to take it in to an apple store. I also recommend you look at lennovo, hp, toshiba and compaq. Avoid acer and gateway.

When you buy direct from Apple, they send a tracking number in email so that you can see the package's progress and know when it will arrive. How long shipping will take is going to depend on where the computer is coming from, and if you paid for expedited service or not.

Good luck finding a laptop for that price period. You're best off going for a gateway notebook if that's what you have to spend.
3 :
Your better off saving up and getting what you want because the cheaper laptops you will have to end up replacing anyway. Its better to invest more so it will last. Learned this the hard way.
4 :
At this point, you can find off-brand netbooks at that price. My boyfriend was exstatic when he found an eee pc netbook for $190. :( Well, it kind of looks like a mac. It's white. lol - and it works great with linux, which is better than apple because it's free. :] Best wishes.

Yes, Get a dell mini 9 from the dell outlet and turn it into a hackintosh. You can also get one here with a 16gb ssd drive http://www.recoupit.com/Laptops/Dell/Inspiron-Mini-9/Dell-Inspiron-Mini-9-p8148436.html This explains how to make a hackintosh: http://gizmodo.com/5156903/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-9-into-the-ultimate-os-x-netbook

the only way you will find an apple laptop for under 200 that is not "hot" is to buy a used one... is rather like trying to buy a brand-new corvette for $1,000.00

Steve Jobs will laugh if he ever reads this question. You can probably find an older model on eBay or something. If you're looking for something more current or a brand new one then you might as well just give up.

your fans are weak! what you need to do is take it to a shop and tell them the problems and they will tell you were u can buy a new fan ect. or u can look up the name of your pc and buy the fan yourself and install ect. diy style
2 :
Laptops in general have heat problems. There are fan plates you can buy that you set your laptop and it cools it, but any time you access a program that uses alot of memory or CPU power then you will generate heat. Here's some laptop coolers: http://www.google.com/products?q=Laptop+coolers&btnG=Search+Products

Make sure its on a flat, hard surface for ventilation, not a bed or sofa. Answer Mine.? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmAdJMJlNI80eeyaIsqYu63sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080806163232AAImDra
4 :
The only way to solve this problem is to get a better computer. Most apple laptops get really hot when anything semi demanding happens. They do not have very good fans or ventilation and plus the battery gets really hot when it is not idling on macs. The best choice is to get a new apple or to get a new computer that isn't an apple like HP or Dell.
5 :
If it's a Macbook or a Macbook Pro like mine, that is very normal for the casing to get hot. There are two solutions depending on the severity of your problem: 1) Download an application to increase the speed of your fans to regulate the temperature. It will install to your System Preferences and then you can choose a target temperature and the fans with automatically stay within the boundaries you choose. You can download the application here for free: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/10/16/modify-adjust-and-control-fan-speed-and-temperature-of-apple-macbook-macbook-pro-and-mac-mini/ If this does not solve your problem then you should move to the second option. 2) If the fan is broken (not necessarily so!), then you need to get it replaced. Take it to your local Apple Store and they can do a diagnostic and give you a quote for getting it fixed. If you have a warranty it will be covered completely. Good luck!

???? why apple? do you edit video? do you do 3d rendering, on large scales? apples not worth it to me if your not doing these. you'll spend 4 times as much money for a computer that does the same as a PC my friend just bought a pro, and the screen died after 3 weeks. cost 600$ to replace the screen.
3 :
It depends what you are using it for. If you are into video/audio production, graphic arts, or even website production, then the MacBokk Pro, would be more ideal. The MacBook is a damn fine machine, but it lacks a separate GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) It uses 64 Mb of the System RAM, so the graphics are still great, but not ideal for graphic arts or video production. The MacBook is still great if all you use it for is typing up reports and projects, etc. I would suggest the MacBook Pro for its 128 or 256 Mb Graphics and faster processor speed. Also the MacBook Pro has larger screen and they are HD.
4 :
At a glance specs on the MacBookPro: * 15.4-inch display * 2.2GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo * 5.4 pounds * 8x double-layer-burning SuperDrive * One FireWire 400 * One FireWire 800 * Two USB * ExpressCard/34 * Up to 200GB hard drive * Gigabit Ethernet * NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT * Built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n * Bluetooth 2.0+EDR * Illuminated keyboard * Scrolling trackpad * MagSafe Power Adapter vs. MacBook: * 13.3-inch glossy display * 2.0GHz or 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo * Up to 2GB memory * Up to 200GB hard drive * Apple Remote with Front Row * Built-in iSight camera * Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 * Slot-loading optical drive * Built-in AirPort Extreme * FireWire 400 and two USB 2.0 ports * Gigabit Ethernet * Bluetooth 2.0+EDR I just bought a MacBookPro and it's fast, reliable and lightweight, and when I was in the store it seemed just a little bit sexier than the MacBook.

Dont buy a Mac. They have barely any good games. Seriously, Macs are only for basic uses such as browsing the internet and are designed for people who dont know how to turn a computer on. If you buy a PC it will cost less, and be able to handle much more. Not to mention it will be able to play all the games you want it to play.
2 :
There are many more games available for computers running Windows and many manufacturers make laptops that are designed just for hard core gamers, so it makes sense that the vast majority of gamers use these laptops. For the first poster to denigrate every Mac and Mac user as hopeless cases says more about what he or she doesn't know than about what he or she does. If your computer purchase is strictly for gaming you are better off with a computer designed for that purpose.
3 :
well to start off, if you want to game, you are doing yourself a disservice by buying an apple. they cost a lot and aren't compatible with a lot of games. pc's are cheaper and faster if you buy the right one. 3 things you want to be VERY good: Processor (should at least be dual core, maybe core 2 duo) Ram (needs to be 2 Gb or more) and graphics card (MOST IMPORTANT! get something with more than 512 mb dedicated vram.)
