Don't waste your money and get a MacBook Pro with 4GB ram it's soo smooth it's beautiful and games like assassins creed can be played on either medium or high settings! I'm not telling you to buy the MB Pro apposed to the MB Air but it's just a recommendation if you want to play games like cod or assassins creed
Ive got the macbook air 13" and ive installed games like angrybirds, minecraft, team fortress 2 and some other appstore games :) to everyone reading this i would definetely reccomend this laptop :)
@BulletInYourAssz yes its a very good laptop and is also very light so easy to manouver about but the only downside is that it might get stolen if your travelling abroad etc. im only 14 so i dont know what it would be like for older people :/ but overall i would change from a pc to mac :)
@11dannad im from finland so i dont think they stole em in here like in the states, and im only 13 but my dad lives like a 320 miles away from me and i go there by train often :D
Possibly, but I suggest getting a Mac-book Pro (despite being more expensive) it outperforms the Air in almost every aspect. Or if your tight on money you can still get a nice Windows PC that performs the same - or better at a fraction of the cost. I suggest searching online for some good computers. Good deals too.
@JLXZ83 I cant be dealing with another windows pc to be honest. Although i must admit i was tempted by the samsung series 7 as its very similar to the macbook pro. I think i'l be going for the Macbook Iro 15 2011 model as there some good deals on Apple Refurb.
ram is soldered to the mobo but they might just mean change the 2gb mobo for a 4gb mobo but i ordered mine with 4gb no point fucking around if ur goin to buy a Mac go all out as much a possible cause with there prices its a investment for the so u can sell it when the next version coming out. so far iv had starcraft 2 and spore running on my 2010 macbook air but havent bothered installing windows on it yet so no many games
@2009razza And GTA4 isn't designed for PC either. It's a console game, that was half-assedly ported to the PC. If it doesn't work well on a Mac, I'm not surprised...
thanks for the review. i just got the new macbook air with the 1.8 GHz processor. I love it so far. Do you know how other games would run on it by any chance? What about Bioshock, or Civ 5? There are so many game options. Im not a big gamer but I want one to start off with and am not sure which to get first. What do you recommend?

DUDE HELP ME OUT!! I GOT THE MAXED OUT 13" MACBOOK SECONDHAND FROM SOMEONE ON EBAY AND ITS HELLA SLOW ON GAMING! ITS NOWHERENEAR AS FAST AS IT IS IN AL THE DEMOS ON YOUTUBE, WHAT CAN I DO?
just think one moment. If you buy a cheaper notebook, wich has way better performance and a better design, you could feed some poor kids in afrika with the money you saved, by not buying the useless shit from apple
@Speedogg138 And now you think they use them because of the performance? You can buy a cheaper computer with windows and you are able to install every shit in the world and the performance will be better too. I meen, a macbook pro 13 inch starts at $1199, what the fuck i could buy a dell with a killer performance a better display and awesome speakers. I am not a dell fan, they are also too expensive some times
@webgier Yes, that is is fact why they use them. The performance. Why would these big studios spend more money on a computer with less performance? They wouldn't. Also, my degree is in Computer Information Systems so don't even kid yourself with "YOU COULD BUILD A WINDOWS PC WITH THE SAME PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY FOR A LOT LESS!" Spec a computer out on Newegg. Let's make one comparable to a 21.5" iMac. Go find all the parts and come back and tell me that they are way overpriced.
@webgier Did you even look that up before you posted that? If you configure a Dell XPS 8300 with a wireless mouse and keyboard, 22" HD monitor, etc. to make it have the same Specs as an iMac, not only does it cost almost EXACTLY the same (costs MORE if I use a Student discount for Apple), but you get Dell quality, AND it is not an All-in-one. Man, Apple sure seemed overpriced there! Not.
@Speedogg138 cpu and gpu are better at dell. Who the hell needs a all in one computer. And you almost everytime a 10% discount at dell. for the computer and sometimes also 10% for the display
@webgier And the screen is better on the iMac and the build quality is FAR better. Now we are splitting hairs. All this proving that the whole "Macs are overpriced" line is a load of BS. Also, lots of people without room for a tower need an All-in-one.
@Speedogg138 you can tell me what you want, but it is just impossible, that a imac is better than a normal tower pc. there is not enought space for high performance components in the all in one thing. I have lots of iMacs at my school and i dont see any positive thing in it. The only thing the apple products have is the style and even this is not that good. Its useless to talk about this stuff i know i am right, and you think you are right no matter what someone will say here
@webgier You deleterd your comment after probably realizing how utterly stupid it sounded, so I'll post it so we can discuss: "you can tell me what you want, but it is just impossible, that a imac is better than a normal tower pc. there is not enought space for high performance components in the all in one thing. I have lots of iMacs at my school and i dont see any positive thing in it..." Sill me, making a point based on "facts and data" not just "I DON'T CARE WHAT U SAY I AM RIGHT! :(" Cheers!
@webgier What about the fact that you can in fact get the same specs in an Apple computer AND a MUCH better build quality for the same price or very similar? I've shown that and you ignore that fact. Unibody Aluminum vs. Plastic. Glass screen vs. Plastic. Also, you are right, you didn't delete it. Youtube just did not show it until now.
@Speedogg138 thats what i get for similar components $2,499.00 from apple. and you want to tell me, the imac is better. And by the way why cant i see anywhere what cpu there is in the macs. i5 od i7 is not enough information for me
@webgier Those figures compare the 21.5" iMac at $1200 to the XPS that comes out to right around $1100 with the same configuration. How are you confused? Also, Apple.com CLEARLY states all of their specs on it's "Buy Now" pages. You must just be having a hard time coping with the fact that "MACS ARE OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET" line is not true. It's OK, a lot of PC fanboys get pissed when presented with actual facts and stats too.
@Speedogg138 sorry, bt i dont know how you come to this price. the xps dont has the same configurations like the imac. only the $2,499.00 has the same configurations like the 1100 xps except the display. I can do what i want buy all i see is a $1,199.00 with a bad cpu, a bad gpu and a high price. And why the hell you have to pay 200 $ more for just 4 gb of ram more. Sorry, but i dont see any similar configuration for this price, please explain what there is the same.
@webgier I don't know, why not ask dell why they charge $220 for 6GB of RAM? Perhaps because you can upgrade them as well as the iMacs much cheaper yourself? Now, you said 8300, vs. 21.5 iMac: Both have Quad Core i5 processors, The iMac has a higher-end ATI card with less VRAM, the Dell has a lower end NVIDIA. Both have 22" HD displays. The dell has 6GB of RAM pre-installed, just beating the iMacs 4GB. Factor in the lesser quality screen, build quality, and lack of bluetooth. Prices compare.
@Speedogg138 and the fact that the way macs work, 4gb ram on mac is equivalent to about 7gb ram on windows 7 and nearly 12gb ram on vista because windows has so much shit going on in the background that you dont see
@Baynham3 I wouldn't even say that, but I know what you mean. I think what webgier is forgetting is that for many years all I dealt with is PCs. They never gave me any big problems. For the 2 years prior to this year I used Windows 7 and caught not a single virus! However, that being said, there simply no truth the the "Macs are overpriced" argument. Actually the only truth would be in something like the Air or Mini AT THE END OF IT'S REFRESH CYCLE. Other than that it's total BS.
@Speedogg138 yh i exaggerated a bit, 4gb on mac would be closer to about 5 on pc, but the reason is there are a lot of processes going on windows and not as many on mac which is why macs dont get as hot in general use and run smoother because it doesnt have to deal with so much. its kind of like running to somewhere like if you take a longer complex route then you will use more energy and be more tired than if you take a straight route. you get to the same place jus less messing around
@Baynham3 I never had a problem with Vista either. :D It isn't the OS that makes me like Mac more. In fact this iMac I type on has OSX Snow Leopard, Windows 7, Windows XP, AND Ubuntu on it. OSX and Windows are VERY similar. You pay for quality. My Omega Seamaster watch cost $2000. I can tell time with a $20 Timex. So Timex is the much better value right? Goodness no. :)
@Speedogg138 your of a very exclusive group not to had problems with vista xD but i went with mac because i had so many problems with windows.it was £500 (around $800) computer i had a full virus protection thing then i came off youtube and when i opened up browser again, all virus things vanished and over ran my computer with all sorts, so i gt a new harddrive and started anew, more problems. mac build quality is way superior and snow leopard is jus so much better than any windows iv ever used
@Speedogg138 maybe you dindt look at the specs of the 8300, but what you say is in now way possible. There is no configuration of the imac, that would make it better than the dell pc. The $2,499.00 is a imac 27 inch configuration, that is similar to the xps. And if i ty the best possible configuration it would cost $2,899.00 for an imac with the original hard drive. The xps with highest specs costs $1,747.99 with almost the same spces as the imac. besides, the imac only has a mobile ati edition.
@webgier If you can't understand it at this point, is there really a need to continue? For $1200 you can get a comparable iMac, or Dell (though the Dell will be missing features like bluetooth, HD webcam and microphone and not have nearly the build quality or screen quality of the iMac.) That's the tough fact. No matter how you don't want to see it, that's it. You might even note that the Dell doesn't even offer a 27" screen. Dell does offer a separate screen at the same resolution though: $1049
@Speedogg138 yes thats true. Except of photographers and designers no ohne need s this screen. But i also said somewhere at the beginning, that i am no dell fan. They are also to expensive, they are like a little apple. Thats the reason why i dont buy a pc from dell. If you configure your compter your self it will be much cheaper and at the end you also will have enough money for a 27" display^^.
@webgier And unless you are a gamer, you don't need a high end graphics card. If you build a PC yourself, it is ALSO in the same ballpark. The misconception is that Apple is overpriced. They are not. They are competitively priced. Also, a 27" screen at 2560x1440 will easily cost you $1000 just in the monitor, THEN start building the computer. PCs (windows/linux based) as well as Apple computers have their place, and neither, whether pre-made or made yourself, are overpriced.
@Speedogg138 comparing the 8300 with the imac, apple maybe not too expensive for his specs. But i still have to say. the gpu in the imac is only the mobile version, what makes it worse. But there is a big difference in the notebooks. The macbook pro $2,549.00 the dell xps 15 with same specs $1,569.99. And now you cant come with a better display, because the dell display is better.
@webgier Again, you are talking about 2 different quality machines. Even Engadget said the dell felt cheap and flexed with mild pressure. The battery life on the 15" macbook pro with a core i7(which is $1,700, NOT some ridiculous number that you stated) DESTROYS the Dell. Over 3 hours more! The glass trackpad on the Apple with it's multi-touch, again, DESTROYS the one on the 15. The ability to run Windows and OSX doesn't even exist on the Dell. Customer Support annihilates Dell as well.
@Speedogg138The dell has one and it does what it has to do. Yeyou get a macpro starting fros m 1800 but it has a worse cpu worse gpu worse ram than the dell configuration. You barely can configure the dell to get this high with the price and the macpro starts with it. Besides i had also heard this rumors about the xps, but i stil bought it and its not what they say, i liked the design and the screen definitly better than the mac, also there are awesome speakers. By the way, the dell has 8 hours.
@webgier No, it isn't rumors, see, that was enGadget's review of it in which they gave it a 3.5 as opposed to the Macbook Pro's 4. They tested the battery life. They got 3-4 with the dell and 7-8 with the MBP. I have no idea where you are getting these prices, but in the real world, the hard fact is that the prices are very similar. If you want a Windows laptop, by all means get it. If you want an Apple, by all means, get it, but don't say that "MACS ARE OVERPRICED!" when twice I disproved that.
@Speedogg138 The price is from the apple.com site. I configured a mac that is similar to the configrations of the apple product, why is it difficult to see, that the price that appears on the dell site isnt that high, as the price that apears on the apple site. Please tell me. And i had the xps 15 and i can tell you, there is definitly more than 3-4 by surfing and hearing some musik, so it doesnt interestme, what someone said. btw could you give me the link to his test, beacuse i cant find it.
@webgier You have got to be configuring the 2 wrong. engadget(dot)com/2011/05/23/dell-xps-15z-review/ The summary pretty much sums up their thoughts: "It's no lighter, thinner or particularly better armed than the competition" Another line I note: "But let's get this out of the way right now: though the XPS 15z most definitely looks like a MacBook Pro and sports similar materials, you'll wind up disappointed if you're expecting the same exacting attention to detail. "
@Speedogg138 ohh^^, now i know where the problem was. i dindt meant the xps 15z i meant xps 15 l502x. The dell you have seen in the review is a cheap remake of mixture betwenn macbook pro and air.
@webgier Ok, now with that one, laptopreview clocks that at 4.5 hours and a MBP at 8.5 hours for their tests. It almost seems that you get what you pay for. Isn't that weird?
@webgier And, in addition, Laptop mag compared this dell, at their configuration of $1500 to a MBP. The MBP won all but 2 tests and DOMINATED most. It DOMINATED in boot time, battery life, 3DMark, won in the file transfer test, transcoding, and 2 heat tests, tied in 2 heat tests and only lost at the gaming and PCMark vantage tests. If you want a gaming PC though, get one. I use consoles for that stuff. :)
@Speedogg138 yeah heat is a problem i think. I send mine back because the fan was too noisy. But you see the dell was good in the important sections except of the batterie, but it was very good for a notebook. I dont really wanted it for gaming, i wanted it because of the core for 3d software or photoshop things and some other things and for that i need a powerful machine, not a stylish thing that does a lot of cool things.
@Speedogg138 But you may have seen, that both has diffrent specs. The dell has a better display, better ram, better hard drive, a bluray drive i think and then you have to look at the price of both. And even with the worse cpu the dell seams not that bad except of the battery. Btw the macbook pro may be only won this test,because of the better cpu. Order a dell with the same core like the mac and dell wins because you have a better onboard gpu with this cpu (Intel HD Graphics 3000)
@sweetlitlangel why souldnt they last long, or why should a mac last longer. Apple isnt a good company in the past they built the ipod with a batterie so, that it only last for 1 year and you would have to buy a new one. Why should they have changed. If they wouldnt last long, all the labs and science institutes wouldnt use them.
@FBMiami in the macbook its better talking about the 2,4 core 2 duo with 4 gb or ram.the game runs great but there are problems when playing modern combat domination from gameloft so i had to play it in my imac
will this macbook air 2011 be able to play bootcamp and play mmorpg's smoothly? (note i know this is 2010 model but since 2011 is better, will it be better for gaming)
no, SSD does help as well, it loads all your texture and level faster, result in more stable fps, yes, 320M is the main reason MBA is capable of gaming, but SSD is also one of the reason
it's been proven that the new MBP 13inch ( 2011 ) lost to MBA in gaming
I play portal on my 13" with 2gb memory, it's pretty choppy at times, especially when it saves, but it's usually pretty smooth. This is done with everything set to medium settings.
I want a macbook pro because I want my laptops to have volume I dont want something so light that I might crush it by putting it in a bag or something. But the heat difference is what gets me. I know the pro is better in performance as far as I know but I wont be playing games like this. I do maplestory, allods, etc. small stuff. But my question is, with the macbook pro, is there an easy way to keep it cool to have on my lap when I play?
hehe..cool accent man. I am in Pearl, Mississippi, U.S.A. i get tired of hearing yankees and rednecks. am I surprised to see that the Air can play cod4. sweet.

@webgier Oh, I apologize, I didn't realize the computers used for some of the biggest movie studios including Pixar was useless. Silly me. :)
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 And now you think they use them because of the performance? You can buy a cheaper computer with windows and you are able to install every shit in the world and the performance will be better too. I meen, a macbook pro 13 inch starts at $1199, what the fuck i could buy a dell with a killer performance a better display and awesome speakers. I am not a dell fan, they are also too expensive some times
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier Yes, that is is fact why they use them. The performance. Why would these big studios spend more money on a computer with less performance? They wouldn't. Also, my degree is in Computer Information Systems so don't even kid yourself with "YOU COULD BUILD A WINDOWS PC WITH THE SAME PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY FOR A LOT LESS!" Spec a computer out on Newegg. Let's make one comparable to a 21.5" iMac. Go find all the parts and come back and tell me that they are way overpriced.

@Speedogg138 buy a dell xps 8300
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier Did you even look that up before you posted that? If you configure a Dell XPS 8300 with a wireless mouse and keyboard, 22" HD monitor, etc. to make it have the same Specs as an iMac, not only does it cost almost EXACTLY the same (costs MORE if I use a Student discount for Apple), but you get Dell quality, AND it is not an All-in-one. Man, Apple sure seemed overpriced there! Not.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 cpu and gpu are better at dell. Who the hell needs a all in one computer. And you almost everytime a 10% discount at dell. for the computer and sometimes also 10% for the display
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier And the screen is better on the iMac and the build quality is FAR better. Now we are splitting hairs. All this proving that the whole "Macs are overpriced" line is a load of BS. Also, lots of people without room for a tower need an All-in-one.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 you can tell me what you want, but it is just impossible, that a imac is better than a normal tower pc. there is not enought space for high performance components in the all in one thing. I have lots of iMacs at my school and i dont see any positive thing in it. The only thing the apple products have is the style and even this is not that good. Its useless to talk about this stuff i know i am right, and you think you are right no matter what someone will say here
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier You deleterd your comment after probably realizing how utterly stupid it sounded, so I'll post it so we can discuss: "you can tell me what you want, but it is just impossible, that a imac is better than a normal tower pc. there is not enought space for high performance components in the all in one thing. I have lots of iMacs at my school and i dont see any positive thing in it..." Sill me, making a point based on "facts and data" not just "I DON'T CARE WHAT U SAY I AM RIGHT! :(" Cheers!
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 i didnt delete it, and i dot see any facts of you. The only thing that might be ok on the imac is the screen but else nothing.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier What about the fact that you can in fact get the same specs in an Apple computer AND a MUCH better build quality for the same price or very similar? I've shown that and you ignore that fact. Unibody Aluminum vs. Plastic. Glass screen vs. Plastic. Also, you are right, you didn't delete it. Youtube just did not show it until now.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 thats what i get for similar components $2,499.00 from apple. and you want to tell me, the imac is better. And by the way why cant i see anywhere what cpu there is in the macs. i5 od i7 is not enough information for me
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier Those figures compare the 21.5" iMac at $1200 to the XPS that comes out to right around $1100 with the same configuration. How are you confused? Also, Apple.com CLEARLY states all of their specs on it's "Buy Now" pages. You must just be having a hard time coping with the fact that "MACS ARE OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET" line is not true. It's OK, a lot of PC fanboys get pissed when presented with actual facts and stats too.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 sorry, bt i dont know how you come to this price. the xps dont has the same configurations like the imac. only the $2,499.00 has the same configurations like the 1100 xps except the display. I can do what i want buy all i see is a $1,199.00 with a bad cpu, a bad gpu and a high price. And why the hell you have to pay 200 $ more for just 4 gb of ram more. Sorry, but i dont see any similar configuration for this price, please explain what there is the same.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier I don't know, why not ask dell why they charge $220 for 6GB of RAM? Perhaps because you can upgrade them as well as the iMacs much cheaper yourself? Now, you said 8300, vs. 21.5 iMac: Both have Quad Core i5 processors, The iMac has a higher-end ATI card with less VRAM, the Dell has a lower end NVIDIA. Both have 22" HD displays. The dell has 6GB of RAM pre-installed, just beating the iMacs 4GB. Factor in the lesser quality screen, build quality, and lack of bluetooth. Prices compare.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 and the fact that the way macs work, 4gb ram on mac is equivalent to about 7gb ram on windows 7 and nearly 12gb ram on vista because windows has so much shit going on in the background that you dont see
Baynham3 8 months ago
@Baynham3 I wouldn't even say that, but I know what you mean. I think what webgier is forgetting is that for many years all I dealt with is PCs. They never gave me any big problems. For the 2 years prior to this year I used Windows 7 and caught not a single virus! However, that being said, there simply no truth the the "Macs are overpriced" argument. Actually the only truth would be in something like the Air or Mini AT THE END OF IT'S REFRESH CYCLE. Other than that it's total BS.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 yh i exaggerated a bit, 4gb on mac would be closer to about 5 on pc, but the reason is there are a lot of processes going on windows and not as many on mac which is why macs dont get as hot in general use and run smoother because it doesnt have to deal with so much. its kind of like running to somewhere like if you take a longer complex route then you will use more energy and be more tired than if you take a straight route. you get to the same place jus less messing around
Baynham3 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 but then 7 runs alot more similarly to mac where as vista was a shit piece
Baynham3 8 months ago
@Baynham3 I never had a problem with Vista either. :D It isn't the OS that makes me like Mac more. In fact this iMac I type on has OSX Snow Leopard, Windows 7, Windows XP, AND Ubuntu on it. OSX and Windows are VERY similar. You pay for quality. My Omega Seamaster watch cost $2000. I can tell time with a $20 Timex. So Timex is the much better value right? Goodness no. :)
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 your of a very exclusive group not to had problems with vista xD but i went with mac because i had so many problems with windows.it was £500 (around $800) computer i had a full virus protection thing then i came off youtube and when i opened up browser again, all virus things vanished and over ran my computer with all sorts, so i gt a new harddrive and started anew, more problems. mac build quality is way superior and snow leopard is jus so much better than any windows iv ever used
Baynham3 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 btw nice watch, my dads got a gold omega worth about £2000 ($4000) and they are lovely watches definitely worth the money :)
Baynham3 8 months ago
@webgier Also, where did you get $2,499 from!? If I configured an iMac with $2,499, it would DESTROY an XPS 8300. O_o
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 maybe you dindt look at the specs of the 8300, but what you say is in now way possible. There is no configuration of the imac, that would make it better than the dell pc. The $2,499.00 is a imac 27 inch configuration, that is similar to the xps. And if i ty the best possible configuration it would cost $2,899.00 for an imac with the original hard drive. The xps with highest specs costs $1,747.99 with almost the same spces as the imac. besides, the imac only has a mobile ati edition.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier If you can't understand it at this point, is there really a need to continue? For $1200 you can get a comparable iMac, or Dell (though the Dell will be missing features like bluetooth, HD webcam and microphone and not have nearly the build quality or screen quality of the iMac.) That's the tough fact. No matter how you don't want to see it, that's it. You might even note that the Dell doesn't even offer a 27" screen. Dell does offer a separate screen at the same resolution though: $1049
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 yes thats true. Except of photographers and designers no ohne need s this screen. But i also said somewhere at the beginning, that i am no dell fan. They are also to expensive, they are like a little apple. Thats the reason why i dont buy a pc from dell. If you configure your compter your self it will be much cheaper and at the end you also will have enough money for a 27" display^^.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier And unless you are a gamer, you don't need a high end graphics card. If you build a PC yourself, it is ALSO in the same ballpark. The misconception is that Apple is overpriced. They are not. They are competitively priced. Also, a 27" screen at 2560x1440 will easily cost you $1000 just in the monitor, THEN start building the computer. PCs (windows/linux based) as well as Apple computers have their place, and neither, whether pre-made or made yourself, are overpriced.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 comparing the 8300 with the imac, apple maybe not too expensive for his specs. But i still have to say. the gpu in the imac is only the mobile version, what makes it worse. But there is a big difference in the notebooks. The macbook pro $2,549.00 the dell xps 15 with same specs $1,569.99. And now you cant come with a better display, because the dell display is better.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier Again, you are talking about 2 different quality machines. Even Engadget said the dell felt cheap and flexed with mild pressure. The battery life on the 15" macbook pro with a core i7(which is $1,700, NOT some ridiculous number that you stated) DESTROYS the Dell. Over 3 hours more! The glass trackpad on the Apple with it's multi-touch, again, DESTROYS the one on the 15. The ability to run Windows and OSX doesn't even exist on the Dell. Customer Support annihilates Dell as well.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138The dell has one and it does what it has to do. Yeyou get a macpro starting fros m 1800 but it has a worse cpu worse gpu worse ram than the dell configuration. You barely can configure the dell to get this high with the price and the macpro starts with it. Besides i had also heard this rumors about the xps, but i stil bought it and its not what they say, i liked the design and the screen definitly better than the mac, also there are awesome speakers. By the way, the dell has 8 hours.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier No, it isn't rumors, see, that was enGadget's review of it in which they gave it a 3.5 as opposed to the Macbook Pro's 4. They tested the battery life. They got 3-4 with the dell and 7-8 with the MBP. I have no idea where you are getting these prices, but in the real world, the hard fact is that the prices are very similar. If you want a Windows laptop, by all means get it. If you want an Apple, by all means, get it, but don't say that "MACS ARE OVERPRICED!" when twice I disproved that.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 The price is from the apple.com site. I configured a mac that is similar to the configrations of the apple product, why is it difficult to see, that the price that appears on the dell site isnt that high, as the price that apears on the apple site. Please tell me. And i had the xps 15 and i can tell you, there is definitly more than 3-4 by surfing and hearing some musik, so it doesnt interestme, what someone said. btw could you give me the link to his test, beacuse i cant find it.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier You have got to be configuring the 2 wrong. engadget(dot)com/2011/05/23/dell-xps-15z-review/ The summary pretty much sums up their thoughts: "It's no lighter, thinner or particularly better armed than the competition" Another line I note: "But let's get this out of the way right now: though the XPS 15z most definitely looks like a MacBook Pro and sports similar materials, you'll wind up disappointed if you're expecting the same exacting attention to detail. "
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 ohh^^, now i know where the problem was. i dindt meant the xps 15z i meant xps 15 l502x. The dell you have seen in the review is a cheap remake of mixture betwenn macbook pro and air.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier Ok, now with that one, laptopreview clocks that at 4.5 hours and a MBP at 8.5 hours for their tests. It almost seems that you get what you pay for. Isn't that weird?
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@webgier And, in addition, Laptop mag compared this dell, at their configuration of $1500 to a MBP. The MBP won all but 2 tests and DOMINATED most. It DOMINATED in boot time, battery life, 3DMark, won in the file transfer test, transcoding, and 2 heat tests, tied in 2 heat tests and only lost at the gaming and PCMark vantage tests. If you want a gaming PC though, get one. I use consoles for that stuff. :)
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 yeah heat is a problem i think. I send mine back because the fan was too noisy. But you see the dell was good in the important sections except of the batterie, but it was very good for a notebook. I dont really wanted it for gaming, i wanted it because of the core for 3d software or photoshop things and some other things and for that i need a powerful machine, not a stylish thing that does a lot of cool things.
webgier 8 months ago
@webgier The Mackbook Pro won the 3D test.
Speedogg138 8 months ago
@Speedogg138 But you may have seen, that both has diffrent specs. The dell has a better display, better ram, better hard drive, a bluray drive i think and then you have to look at the price of both. And even with the worse cpu the dell seams not that bad except of the battery. Btw the macbook pro may be only won this test,because of the better cpu. Order a dell with the same core like the mac and dell wins because you have a better onboard gpu with this cpu (Intel HD Graphics 3000)

@sweetlitlangel why souldnt they last long, or why should a mac last longer. Apple isnt a good company in the past they built the ipod with a batterie so, that it only last for 1 year and you would have to buy a new one. Why should they have changed. If they wouldnt last long, all the labs and science institutes wouldnt use them.

I know the pro is better in performance as far as I know but I wont be playing games like this. I do maplestory, allods, etc. small stuff. But my question is, with the macbook pro, is there an easy way to keep it cool to have on my lap when I play?
