The Macbook Air should be the next one being refreshed. Kinda wish they would allow the Air to run the 64 bit kernel.

Offtopic slightly,
But what can I do if I installed windows 7 on an imac, but I lost my OSX dvd? I've looked around and can't find the drivers for the mouse/isight/sound anywhere. I found them for the MBP but nothing else. I need this relatively quick (next 24 hours ideally) so is there anywhere I can download it? Pretty sure if I go apple store they'll have to order it, or does anyone know for sure? Thanks! Posted via RS Mobile | |

You can buy it for about $35 or download the ISO and burn it to a Dual Layer DVD.
... or just borrow it if you know anyone who has one.

Hey guys,
Have a quick question for you about the latest Macbook Pros.
I'm currently using a 2008 Macbook and I'm starting to find that the latest programs (CS5 especially) is starting to run a lot slower. I'm barely able to edit any more pictures.
Would you guys say that upgrading to a newer Macbook Pro would be worth it? I'll mostly be using it for Photo editing, programming iOS apps, occasional gaming, and dual-booting windows7 for visual studios.
I'm hoping that a Macbook Pro would last me a lot longer than 3 years. But I'm happy that my Macbook lasted this long.

The new MBP runs rings around my 2009 3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo 17" MBP.

this all depends on if you perform CPU intensive tasks. aside from the obvious 4gb ram upgrade in older machines if possible, a ssd will make it instantaneously faster. Lion's coming out in a bit, seems like a good opportunity to format the machine along with the aforementioned upgrades.

So you think that all of these are useless? I demoed Lion for 20 minutes and liked the changes, the new user experience and convenience features... Apple - OS X Lion - Learn about the top new features. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'll be doing a lot more programming come september so I'll probably be going a lot more multitasking. CS5 does take up a lot of CPU as well.
I'm thinking of getting the 2.0Ghz 15" MBP, upgrading to the high resolution screen, and upgrade my ram to 8GB myself. Is the 2.2Ghz 15" MBP worth it? Seems like the video card is the only major thing added for a lot more money. My gaming would probably be done on my desktop anyways. Would it help at all if I were to do video editing? Or should I just stick to the 2.0Ghz one?

Google Docs is useful, but becuz the rest of the world hasn't caught up. MSword is still a need.
What has changed is more and more use of inDesign to create presentations. Thats impressive.
regardless...
for those with Moshi Clearguard. How often do you clean it and how do you clean it
I seem to clean it once a month with HOT water and soap..its losing its affect
