Which Macbook to get???

[usafant]

I told my girl I wanted one for Christmas so we going to pick it up today after work. I know it's a lot of heads with Macs on here so I wanted to know which one is the best in your opinions. I don't have a limit. Appreciate it.

I have a 13' macbook pro and I love it.
Buy applecare with your mac.
Lastly, what are you looking for in the mac?

An external HD to back your stuff, iWork, and applecare.

Swag out with that 13" MacBook Air.

Wait for the 2012 mbps

 

[daytona 5000]

Get a 15". It's the perfect size.

I got a MacBook Pro when my Dell died

check out Best Buy for an open box item; I saved 15% then another $250

came out to like $850 and was $1300 originally

Base on a 13" is $1200 and base on a 15" is $1800. If price doesn't matter, I suggest the 15" MBP.
With that said, hardly anyone I know needs a 13" MBP to begin with.

man i'm looking to get a used 13" pro off ebay for like $700 like TODAY or tomorrow

I have a 15 inch MBP and I love it. Im a club dj so I need the big screen. Its a little heavy but I love it. Dont mess with a regular mac book (The white one).

Only thing I have a complaint about is the lack of USB ports. If the 15 inch had one more port, I'd love it a lot more.

He might not be a DJ tho...

What are your needs? just browse the web, watch videos?

13inch MBP is MORE than enough for anyones basic computer needs. If you are a college student I suggest getting the 13inch Air which Ive read is tons better than the previous model. The MBP does get heavy after a while and the MBA would be perfect to take with you to class and such.

15inch honestly is too big unless you need the bigger screen for whatever purpose.

[megatron]

15 pro

 

[Thats My Word]

No limit?

Get the 17"
Anti glare screen
512GB SSD

$4,000

 

[joree85]

I just got a 13" Air when it was on sale at Best Buy for $1099...love it. If you need the extra hard drive space, I'd say go for the 13" Pro, but if you can get by with the 128gb SSD...do it

im saving for the 15in macbook air that is suppose to come out soon....

 

[usabasketball08]

Random, but is there a way to restore your MacBook to factory settings (how I first got it) without losing my iTunes library?

 

[nocomment6]

Depends what you need. I love the size of the 13" MBP, the i7 has more power then most will ever need. Although I think MB Airs are wicked as well and if you can deal with the smaller space on the HDD, they're cool, light, with an external HDD or a time capsule they're perfect. Consider applecare.

Oh and yes newly designed MBP should be launched this spring, not too much is actually known about the changes...
-retina display?

- Ivy bridge CPU

- Nvidia GPU

Oh and 15" macbook airs are supposed to be introduced as well.

 

[bdeazy]

Never needed AppleCare. I'm careful.

can y'all comment on the durability of the charging port with macbooks? The reason my current laptop is not working is because the charging port is malfunctioning so it wont charge
