@SuperEnigmation i say if u need a big moniter go for a macbook pro 17 inch having a laptop support a large moniter in my oppinion is kinda pointless because you could either use a laptop with a large moniter or just a desktop

@krauser979 For my needs I need a Mac and a copy of Windows to run in Boot Camp. Should I get a MacBook Pro + external monitor or an iMac? I’ve always thought about making a laptop dedicate all it’s power to another monitor.

@SuperEnigmation yes your right best bang for your buck for MACS but not for a computer. Stick with a pc go with a mac if you feel like spending a few extra dollars on something different.

@krauser979 The only Mac that I compared to Windows PCs part for part (including software equivalents) that isn’t overpriced is the iMac. I understand you can build a Windows PC for less, but is the structure better than the iMac? Is the custom-built Windows PC an all-in-one? These are the questions I ask when it comes to iMac equivalents and custom Windows PCs. The iMac gives you the BEST bang for your buck when it comes to Macs, hands down.

@SuperEnigmation its beacuse they put too much money into the aluminium that it takes to make it but still macs are roughly $500 over priced and the higher end once heat up too much because their design is to make the aluminium act like a heat sink.

@krauser979 But yet Apple is still filthy rich. I seriously don’t know how that happens. I guess it’s the iPad and iPhone sales, but the Mac sales are rising. The only valid argument now that I see against Macs is the hardware. At least it wasn’t as expensive as back then…

When do you think the redesign will happen? I’m buying a MacBook Pro 15″ when I go back to uni but don’t want to spend this much to find it’s been replaced by a new design.

Whew! For a second I thought you were an Apple fanboy.

saving for one of these

@jayry55 no it doesnt

All I would do to this laptop is change the graphics card from AMD to Nvidia. Is there a way to do that?
January 29th, 2012 on 8:35 am
Does apple care cover accidental damage?

(Sorry for my english, I’m a french student^^)
Does the quality of AMD Radeon HD 6490M is correct ?
I would buy this model but I read the graphic card was bad…
What’s your opinion ?
Thank’s !
January 29th, 2012 on 9:53 am
@MrPsYcHo677 Oh yes, you should get the 6750M. The overall performance is better and you’ll get 1GB dedicated video memory, instead of 256 MB.

I have this model.
ha ha
I love it XD
Plus I love your videos.
PLUS!! I’m half Scottish

I still find it a rip off in my opinion you figgure with the switch to amd graphics that would make macs cheaper right? But it doesn’t they are still just as expensive as ever a $1200 pc can run circles around this thing and it’s still more pratical to own it than a mac. I do admit the quallity of the hardware and the os is better than 95% of pc’s toshiba being the only one that can compete in terms of quallity but it doesn’t make sence that they are so expensive. The name is what your paying.

I am not if I should get the base line 2,0 Ghz 15″ or the 2,2 Ghz 15″, the only reason in my opinion is the better graphic card. But does this graphic card justify the higher price?
January 29th, 2012 on 11:24 am
Thumbs up if you have the higher model because the 6490m sucks!
January 29th, 2012 on 12:18 pm
The 6490m sucks though
