Just Googled it, looks like a rumor from November 2011. Apparently, 74% of Mac purchases are laptops. I don't see it happening anytime soon though http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/11/01/report-apple-to-discontinue-mac-pro-desktops
Thanks for the tips on the mouse, I'm adjusting to the trackpad and the mouse, what'd y'all do about organizing files and such. I'm using this mainly for school, only got the sims 3 downloaded, and the usual music/movie watching but nothing extravagant.
I'm trying to connect mine to my TV using a Rocketfish MiniDP to HDMI cable. I can't find how to change my display settings under System Preferences/Display. I'm sure it's easy..can anyone help me with this? TIA
the trackpad is like sex. I will never buy a non apple notebook unless windows manufacturers wake up and get it right, and also windows codes the OS to complement it.
Is it not detecting your TV display? What are you seeing in the display settings? Yeah there are rumors about it but that's the Mac Pro high end line. There is a lot of consensus that they are actually going to be one of the first to have the new chipset and chips from Intel. We won't know until they do the Apple show. They will still have their IMacs which are pretty darn powerful for the average home user. That was the first thing i fell in love with. I always used a mouse on my laptops because I hated the trackpads, But on the Mac it's a thing of beauty and all the multi touch gestures makes it so functional. I know it's a simple feature but one of the best things you could have.
Okay so I am a finance guy who uses advanced excel formulas and am very proficient and quick at excel due to years of working on it and can practically use excel without my mouse from memorizing all the shortcuts. My dad wants to buy me a new lap top and he wants to get me a macbook pro so I'm not objecting. i was wondering should I buy myself a simple 600 dollar pc laptop to use for work and excel and just keep the macbook for school and leisure or is the excel on a mac just as good and easy to use?
Excel on Mac SUCKS. S-U-C-K-S. The one MS Office program that I absolutely abhor. You could still get the Mac though and just run Parallels or dual boot Windows. There is no real reason to get 2 laptops if you ask me.
MS Word on Mac sucks too. There's a bug where using the copy and paste keyboard shortcuts causes the program to periodically freeze.
I don't get Microsoft on the mac...I think they purposely create their programs to not work well on Macs. Its the only software I can think of that is crazy different on the Mac vs. the PC version. Every other software designers makes their PC/Mac programs to mirror each other..but Microsoft cant?? I don't get it.
