| 1146487 | 2010-10-21 03:18:00 | How would your rate the quality of the speakers? from my macbook I have seen better (i'd say av to good) but it music that has left right speaker encoding does sound cool :P Music quality is good it just depends how loud you like it. Can you install said drivers in Linux and have right click? Are there open source drivers for it out of the box? know that the windows drivers are on the disk not sure about linux. From experience the macbook trackpad is sluggish on liux but you can tweak it in the settings and so on. |

I mean for the same price I could fly to the US, hang out there for a week or two, buy it there and come back. At least I get to see the world that way. :( Makes my blood boil. |

| 1146490 | 2010-10-21 05:58:00 | what spec is the evny @? BTW: You could go second-hand macs go quite cheap: www.trademe.co.nz or one missing key but better spec: www.trademe.co.nz Or you could grease up SurferJoe to send one to you :lol: |

| 1146491 | 2010-10-21 22:08:00 | Macbooks are premium notebooks and there are very few comparable windows notebooks such as the envy. Its such a shame, since is it really that hard for a PC manufacturer to make something comparable? It seems they are all trying to use the cheapest components in a race to the bottom. You could also consider HP's business notebooks, some can be configured with built in 3g. Their elitebooks and probooks are well made. |

| 1146492 | 2010-10-21 22:51:00 | Yeah the battery life for me was definitely better in OSX than in Win7. Trackpad ran better in OSX than in Win7 with the Bootcamp drivers, but it's still pretty good, and it enables the right-click too! Battery life though, I played two long games of DotA and quit, only to realize I'd been playing on battery one morning (Forgot to plug it in), and it was still over 50% battery life after ~2hrs gaming, so yeah, it's pretty damn good!! :D Multi-monitor is retarded. I'm working away on a window in the secondary monitor to the right, and if I wanted to do something like "Save As" to use a different filename, then I have to move my mouse up to the top-left hand corner of the left screen, because the Toolbar always stays in the primary monitor. Other minor annoyances like that. I don't really care much these days what OS I use, windows / linux / OSX, as long as I can load Chrome I'm usually happy ;) No idea about linux driver support to be honest, have only ever used command line in Linux from the Macbook. You can buy power supplies for them locally from the likes of PBTech if you really want? |
