Which Mac Is For You?

Don’t lie; you know you’ve always wanted a Mac. And now that the time has come to get yourself a laptop, it’s only smart to figure out which suits you and your lifestyle best.

MacBook
With a price just less than $1,000, the 4.7-pound MacBook is Apple’s most affordable notebook. Yup, this is the cute little white one you’ve probably seen being toted around by fellow bus riders and coffeehouse goers. The 1.08-inch MacBook is small enough to fit easily into your backpack or briefcase and the built-in battery lasts up to seven hours on a single charge. It also boasts a 13-inch LED-backlit widescreen display and glass multi-touch track pad.

Who Needs It:
The MacBook is ideal for first-time Mac buyers, students and the budget-conscious. It offers everything you’re looking for in a laptop, plus so much more. Speed, graphics and portability are all key highlights of this original. And the price? You won’t find the same quality at a lower price.

MacBook Pro
MacBook Pro means business. A true upgrade from the Macbook, this super-fast, enhanced laptop features advanced NVIDIA graphics processors (used for tasks that involve visual components) and a long-lasting, built-in battery. You have your choice of MacBook Pro sizes, including 13-, 15- and 17-inches, ranging from $1,199 to $2,499. Similar in size to the MacBook, this hybrid model is not only graphically elite, it is also eco-friendly, made from recyclable aluminum and glass.

Who Needs It:
The MacBook Pro is perfect for those who need a little more (or a lot more!) punch in the graphics department. The advanced graphic processors and choice of model sizes let you experience the best when running your office and professional applications. And the speed is great! High quality design can be achieved on this mighty machine.

MacBook Air
Weighing in at just three pounds, the MacBook Air is the skinniest and lightest of the Macs. No, that doesn’t mean it has less features; quite the contrary. With its advanced computer architecture, the MacBook Air offers a 13.3-inch screen and full-sized keyboard. The MacBook Air is engineered for peak wireless efficiency and starts at $1,499. And it even possesses advanced NVIDIA graphics processing like its sister laptops!

Who Needs It:
The jetsetter. If you’re always on the go and you need your laptop to come with, then the MacBook Air is just for you. Its solid-state drive made up of nonmoving parts not only enhances durability while you travel, but uses less power. And its extremely slender, aluminum body makes slipping this laptop into your satchel a snap!

While its no secret that Macs tend to carry a heftier price tag when compared to other laptops; it’s wise to evaluate just what your looking for and what you will need in a laptop. With the world’s most advanced operating system and software suite, high-quality Macs are proof that you get what you pay for.

How do I install Mac Osx on another Macbook?

My freind sold me his macbook with no install disc so I borrowed someone elses original install disc's from there macbook. I erased the drive but when I restart to install mac osx with original disc's it says this mac osx cannot be installed on this computer. Help me what do I do?

Boot to the install disc, click Utilities in the menu bar at the top, and click System Profiler. It will say either PowerPC or Intel next to Processor Name. Once you know which processor your Mac is using you'll be able to narrow down what the problem is.

If you're trying to install an Intel version of Tiger onto a Macbook you'll need the specific install disc for your model. The normal Tiger install disc is PowerPC-only and won't work on an Intel machine so Apple had to basically patch OS X to work on Intel machines until they could work out a universal installer for both systems.

If you have a PowerPC machine you can use the normal Tiger install disc, or if you're installing Leopard it doesn't matter what kind of Mac you have (it works on both PPC and Intel). If that's the case I'd say you either didn't format the hard drive in HFS+ (Mac OS X Extended) or you're doing exactly what I just described above, but in reverse - using Intel install discs for a PowerPC Macbook. The install disc should be black if you're installing Tiger - the model-specific install discs are grey.

If you're installing Leopard just go to Utilities from the install disc and click Disk Utility. Erase the hard drive and make sure you have Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) selected as the format. If that doesn't work head to an Apple store and ask someone there to help you out.
