The convention is to call the total number of pixels "resolution" but that isn't a very useful measurement on its own.

Residency Evil posted:That's my question. What's the problem with buying applecare from discount bob's ebay emporium? Isn't it just a code that I plug in to a form online somewhere? Discount Bob probably bought his unbelievably cheap codes with stolen credit cards and you will be the one left holding the hot potato whenever the credit card company gets around the letting Apple know which purchases were fraudulent and Apple cancels those codes. It's not like there is some secret marketplace somewhere where native craftsmen are assembling perfectly serviceable Appplecare codes for absurdly low prices. withak fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Aug 1, 2011 |

Crush posted:IMO, the best starting point is SA-Mart, Craigslist, and eBay to see what they actually sell for. Yeah, people buying and selling right now near you are a better source of data than some website attempting to aggregate price data by country over some unknown time interval in the past.

AlphaDog posted:Edit: I'm not trying to start an OS war or rag out on apple or anything, I'm just always disappointed when cool hardware doesn't work on my current platform. There are some kind of windows drivers out there; my magic trackpad works fine if I boot into windows on my iMac. I think it doesn't do any gestures but scrolling though. I think you download from Apple and burn that driver to a CD in the first step when you run the boot camp assistant.

Daric posted:Why do people claim that the MBP is not very portable? It weight 5lbs. If you can't carry an extra 5lb weight with you all day, you have an issue. I think portability complaints with the MBP are mostly with the dimensions of the 17" which doesn't fit into a lot of laptop holders. Also it is heavy.

Resolution should mean the size of the pixels. It is usually used to refer to the number of pixels though, like 1920x1080 or 1024x768. Obviously you also need to know the size of the display before you can tell whether the quoted resolution is any good. Hardware makers love this because they can hide how crappy their displays are in a cloud of numbers. The problem is that many details of program UIs are written using dimensions of pixels, and a button that is 100 pixels wide and looks ok on a three-year-old 21" display will appear far too small on a retina display and not everything is designed in a way that makes it easy to scale for a display with very small pixels. withak fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Mar 12, 2012 |

HolySwissCheese posted:Trackpad is horrible for Excel or anything with a lot of clicking and dragging Yeah, I literally go crazy when I occasionally have to use autocad on a laptop for work, though having two-finger pan/zoom gestures available could go a long way towards making it a less lovely experience.

bairfanx posted:One thing I didn't see discussed there: if I order my Mac off of Amazon and they swing by my house while I'm at work and nobody is home, they won't just leave it on the porch, will they? I've never had anything more than $100 ordered from Amazon and I'm not allowed to have things delivered to work, otherwise I'd just take that option. The shipper decides that, not Amazon. You can pick a shipping option that requires a signature, but that still isn't any guarantee that they won't fake the signature and leave it on your porch anyway.

ShoeFly posted:So my new 11-inch Air has shipped, I got the confirmation email from Apple about 13 hours ago. However the link to track the shipment doesn't work; the TNT page says the consignment number can't be found. Golly if only there was a company that you could call with questions about the status of a shipment.

yellowjournalism posted:What's the best way to take care of my rMBP's battery? I often like to keep it topped off so I can maximize my (unplanned) time off the grid. No maintenance is required as long as it isn't plugged in 24/7. Modern lithium ion batteries are pretty forgiving. withak fucked around with this message at 15:22 on May 22, 2013 |

SRQ posted:I've been leaving my new 15'' rMBP plugged in, why wouldn't I? Leaving it plugged in literally 24-7 is bad; as long as it gets unplugged every once in a while then you are fine. Modern batteries don't require any kind of maintenance for normal usage patterns.

A full discharge (i.e. 100% to zero in one step) supposedly may help calibrate the percent battery indicator in the OS, but for modern batteries a full discharge is really just a cumulative 100% of activity. Five percent of discharge and recharge every day for 20 days is a full cycle, which is why just unplugging it occasionally is all you need to do.
