The current MacBook I have is the 2008 unibody. It was the initial launch unit for the switch to the aluminum casing.
But I see your point. And as I previously said, the iPad isn't a replacement, but more of merely an interim solution, and a chance to purchase something I was in the market for to begin with.
I would really appreciate some input on how to go about doing this. Believe me, I hate wasting money just as much as the next person, so I appreciate the concern. But I feel confident with my decision thus far, and hope to remain so.
So if anyone has any advice for how to do this transition best, it would be much appreciated.

Been about 10 years since I last spent a significant amount of time with Macs but I wanted to try OSX and it was time to get a new machine for my day-to-day computing chores (word processing, internet, finances, music, archiving, etc.). Didn't need to be powerful and I didn't want to spend a lot of money but I wanted something portable so I got an 800Mhz ibook. I couldn't justify spending another $300 on the 900Mhz model just to get the combo drive since I already have a firewire burner I can use at home. Besides, if I spent an extra $300 for that, I may as well spend another $300 and get a 12" powerbook. Then I'd be a long way from my cheap computer. ;)
It took just a few hours for my iBook to make a mockery of many Switch ads. I knew they were BS when they first aired but I was surprised to see so many contradicted in the first few hours.
My email didn't import properly. All of the folders are there but most of the big ones are empty or only have a single message. :P I also had a crash the first night. I came back to the computer and found a black display. At first I thought it'd just gone to sleep but the light wasn't flashing and the screen's backlight was still on. Then there were the drivers. I actually had to download drivers for my MP3 player and printer. The horror. ;)
But enough griping. I really do like my little iBook. It runs OS X great. The battery life is better than I expected (and I haven't even done any power-saving tweaking). I've got 60 gigs of space which is enough to carry everything I need and a lot of stuff I don't need. The airport card works with my old wireless gateway. I've been able to find software to do just about everything I did on the PC. The sleep mode is awesome. I still can't get over the recovery time. It's ready to go by the time I get the screen angle adjusted. After that initial crash, it's been rock solid. I've only rebooted after installing drivers and I think I've got them all loaded now. The next reboot will probably be for an OS update.
The screen is bright and the fan hardly ever comes on, even if the CPU is running at 100%. (I installed the folding@home client so I could see how often the fan would kick in.) Even with the CPU at 100% and the airport card turned on, battery life is still decent.
Okay, a couple more gripes. WTF is up with the one-button mouse? Yeah, I know. "Get a real mouse." I did. A nice cordless optical mouse. But that doesn't help me when I'm on the move. I don't want to lug extra stuff around. Why can't my track pad have two buttons?
And what's the deal with anti-aliasing? Why does everything need to be "smoothed"? Makes it look like I've got the display set at the wrong resolution. I put TinkerTool on there but it seems that some apps just ignore the setting and "smooth" the fonts anyway. Come on, Apple. Let ME decide how I want text presented on MY computer. Put a "none" option in there and make it stick.

vacuum cleaner with brush head. They keys do come off, but I would not recommend it unless you are risky. I can do it with ease and do it often, but there is a softer plastic scissor mechanism that is underneath the key and can break if pulled improperly.

From what I understand, you can make your own phone, so long as you don't sell it. I mean, if you have the means to make a mean phone (wow, haha), then I believe you can do it.

I had an early 2010 week 23 iphone 4, and it had a ton of death grip signal issues. I had to get it replaced because the power button was loose and got a new 2011 week 11 (early march) iPhone 4. I notice that the death grip still occurs, but is much less of an issue. I consistently have a stronger signal than before.
Anybody else notice this?
I have a week 16 2011 iPhone 4. Same death grip issues. But really never notice it in day to day use.

if you havent noticed there isnt an apple story anywhere near moscow... spokane doesnt even have one. good luck buddy
A little extra Google time would have let you know that Moscow, ID has a Walmart, Radio Shack, and AT&T store.
Anyone going here?
My wife is going to show up at the AT&T store early in hopes of getting her hands on one. They said to expect a good-sized line. They supposedly have about 60.
Walmart people didn't seem to know anything when I called them, and Radio Shack says they're not getting any at all, so I think the AT&T store is your only bet.

The Daily Mail is a supermarket tabloid, yes.
WOW :eek: I hadn't realised it had done so well in improving its social station whilst I have been away living in Asia. :D Upgraded to *supermarket* status. And that, all the way from the gutter! :eek::D:apple:

My new 13" MacBook Pro will not print, I get a printer is offline when I try to print something. I installed the drivers from the HP website. I however can print if I go to Airport and choose hpsetup, which will take me off the the internet. It is very inconvenient to have to go offline to print something then go back and turn my network back on. This is not only happening to my new 2011 13" MacBook Pro, it's doing the same thing on my wife's 15" MacBook Pro and my kids iMac. Everything was working fine till I swapped out my old NetGear router with Apple 1TB Time Capsule. What am I doing wrong it is very frustrating, please help. Thanks in advance.

The iMac doesn't use graphics switching like the MacBook Pro. So the discrete graphics are always enabled. I don't think the Intel HD 3000 graphics is even visible to the OS

Hi,
I have been noticing considerable lag on my 2010 15" MBP (4GB ram) whilst using Photoshop Cs5.
I heard from my friend that if I were to use an external drive as a scratch disk, it would help.
I was wondering if this is true, and if so, what are the recommended external HDD?

It was the only RPG i have ever played. I thought it was a great game, just wish i had bought it for the SNES while it was still for sale a retail stores. I can't really justify spending $50 on a used SNES cartridge. Hopefully it will come out for the virtual console.

Sounds like VPC is still the best by a long shot (but still not great). Currently on my iBook G3/900 VPC gives me a 686 proc/396 mhz. Sounds a little better than the numbers that anyone is getting on QEMU.

It really doesn't matter how he's dressed. He has an iphone, good for him. Truthfully he could be like the guy in the Remo Williams movie. However these are all stereo types. Not every Asian is a martial artist, and just because you dress in old clothes doesn't mean you're poor. It still would be cool if he was some kind of super secret martial arts secret service guy though.:D

Lots of cooperation from many American and Canadian mining and engineering resources, sunglasses from Oakley, iPods from Steve, the love of their countrymen...I just hope the psychological after-effects aren't too damaging.
