fukking SSD drives make load up and disk transfer times fast as shyt.

the remote desktop app means I can run my work computer on a seperate desktop and simply swipe between work and personal shyt with ease

phone/ipad/macbook all synced up with contacts. bought office 2011 through my job for $10

and FINALLY the remote app for itunes on my phone works again. that shyt hadn't worked in years on windows. but it worked immediately on this macbook. I can't see myself going back to a windows machine as my personal computer

Have you tried a Surface Laptop? I wonder since Microsoft makes the Surface, if that means it will perform much better than Windows Laptops from other OEMs?

@Hiphoplives4eva

not really interested. I already have an ipad and iphone before this, and I do not really enjoy windows 8/8.1 which alone turns me off of a surface tablet.

I did the exact same thing. Got a refurb off the Apple site. I wanted a travel laptop that was small so I went with a Mac Air 13". My boss has me doing cell phone apps now, so I figured I'd get a Mac for both needs. That damned thing is super thin and will run all day off the battery. I'd never go all Mac, but first cell phone I didn't want to replace in 2 years is my iPhone5. Finished my degree taking notes on a iPad 3. I respect the hell out of Apple after I started using their stuff.

750 jawn. More ram, faster processor. I use a 10yr old MacBook to Dj with, so you'll be fine.

u use seratodj?

 

[Spatial Paradox]

have u ever bought an apple refurbished product? the shyt is basically new. like a refurbished machine for apple could be something that was shipped out and immediately returned. I mean, there won't even be a speck of dust on it. you wouldn't even know it was a refurb unless someone told you. plus, you get the exact same warranty and can get apple care the same way you can do a new product.

People hear the word "refurb" and immediately assume the worst, but I always tell people looking to buy a Mac to take a look at the refurbs first. Apple refurbs are basically like getting a new machine. Same warranty, same chance to get Applecare, etc.

The only difference is it comes in a plain white box instead of the initial retail packaging.

And scratch live. It's not much of a resource hog, unless you're using the built in effects, which still ain't shyt.

man, you got top of the line. your shyt is fast as hell I'm sure, and is gonna last forever. that i7

i have the 2.9 ghz i7 (dual core)
8 gb ram
750 normal HDD

it's straight. the next computer i get its going to be true top level...

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Sony or Microsoft PCs are made of similar quality to Macs.

I personally would recommend a Surface Pro over ANY PC, mac or otherwise.

I ended up buying the joint at 800$ because the other guy flacked on me, this bytch got 320gb previous owner used it for a home business, I can always add more ram later
