I buy apple products because I need stability, reliablility and longevity. iPod Mini, Nano and Video - 6yrs old all still working iPhone 3GS - Retired but still used as an iPod Touch MacMini- Sold to upgrade to a Macbook1 Macbook1 Owned for 7years works like a champ, recently sold to...

Update... I purchased the N750 WD Router it has 2 USB 2.0's and 300N on 2.4Ghz and 450N on 5Ghz bands (simultaneous). Its a very simple and easy setup, range is great. having the 5Ghz band for the Apple TV and MacbookPro is great for faster bandwidth and the legacy 2.4Ghz band for everythinge...

Word! Ill look it up.

When they released the Hulu app and it popped up on Macrumors.com I immediately went out that afternoon and picked up and aTV3. Got an open box for -$10 off. Couldnt beat it!

heard its good. After getting a small Gigabit switch to add onto my network for the desktop and WD MyBookLive NAS, the speed is a big improvement. Im running a single band 300N Linksys Valet (as a access point not router due to the half duplex 10/100 built in switch. Might just have to...

yea thats what kept me from not buying a 2012 11" MBA, I picked up my Late 2011 MBP 2.2ghz Quad Core i7 for $1347 at Bestbuy on leftover/openbox. But hey, thats still a good little beast for an 11" power horse. If i was depending on the fastest computer with minimal space and was in a college...

Ive been looking for a gen2 to JB. But picked up a Gen3 openbox for $89 since it now as HuluPlus (which is what i use the most) the new Airplay streaming via Mountain Lion is sweet. I picked up a WD MyBookLive NAS since it has an iTunes server built in. I can stream my music content from the...

Budget meaning...the amount you have to spend. ie - Cheap or least money possible, or you have a "budget" of $300 to spend. But by OP's original message, it was simply "What do you all have in your Macbooks for an SSD" I was like WOW ~$250 for an SSD and data doubler (256GB), WOW thats...

Epic fail on my part, I was looking at a different article. Yes there are cheaper drive bays rather than the $59 (I believe) naked kit. But with a 256GB ssd its still under $250 so that's still less than 1$ per GB with kit. There are so many options out there, for a little more bucks...

Still an accurate article. OWC macsales.com sells a data doubler kit to add a hdd or ssd to the optical bay. I'm going to do that for my late 2011 MBP. 240-256GB ssd and put the 500 HDD in the optical bay for storage. It'll be pimp!

Been using a 90GB VERTEX 3 as a secondary drive for just games ( BF3, D3, WOW, Skyrim) for the past year, No issues. Originally it was OS, Office and BF3, But didnt care about the fast boot times so now its a dedicated game drive. Again my computer never shuts down, it runs constantly. No issues.

a 5750 would work out perfectly, they have a DDR3 model and a DDR5 (dual slot) which is super low power consumption. I still have my old 5750, works perfectly, keeping it as a backup, but you should be able to pick one up that is the DDR3 model with even less power consumption than this one. I...

This is being used for a desktop correct? Ever think about getting an inexpesnive mainstream videocard with DVI and HDMI? they carry audio through HDMI on most of the cards as well. And i believe you can pick one up at a discount online retailer for around $30 Cheaper then that Atlona.....

I have the "N" band Express, Love it. Ive used it with my old wrt54GS as a ethernet bridge for my old DVR to connect to the network, I've used it under the same bridge settings connecting it to use for my desktop (when i didnt have a wifi dongle or long cat5 cable) and now i use it as a straight...

macmall has the 2011's on sale, Microcenter has around 200-250 off 2011 models, And retailers like bestbuy will price match and also have all their 2011 models on sale. I picked up a $1799 macbook pro 15" for $1300 after discounts and rebates for it being a leftover 2011. Deals are out there!
