Feb 08, 2011 10:18 PM 7920 Views

My macbook needed a repairs  6 months after purchase. In less than 3 years it has needed a new logic board, hard drive, optic drive, keyboard and recently cost £72 to get a dvd out of the broken optic drive!


Customer services refused to listen to me gave a monologue about bad luck if I didn't buy their extended warranty type service and hung up after saying you have a great day now! Would you buy apple?

NVIDIA GPU LItigation is now settled - India ??
Dec 21, 2010 02:16 PM 8011 Views

I have Faulty 2007 Macbookpro where there is a display issue to the NVIDIA GPU. I Checked on the site and my Macbookpro qualifies for a settlement. https://nvidiasettlement.com/index.html. But I have purchased this in India from a Apple retailer and hence I don't seem to make the cut to get any settlement.


It would be fair gesture on Apple's part to extend this beyond USA for affected folks like us and restore and love for Apple's machines. Cheers.

Lousy warranty and bad after sales service
Oct 10, 2010 10:24 PM 7288 Views

I have been using the Mac Pro Laptop for two years. Every few months the adapter lead gets separated from the input socket on its own. Once it was replaced by apple, thereafter even though I had purchased a extended warranty for three years, I have been told to buy a new adapter for Rs8000/-.


This is a manufacturing defect and Apple customer care and technical staff are trying to pass it off as a physical damage. I seriously recommend all those who buy an apple product to take a written guarantee about this problem otherwise periodically they will have to shell out Rs8000/- for a new adapter ( even though there is no fault of the user)/

Biggest waste of money ever.
Aug 18, 2010 08:13 AM 7006 Views

As a student at an art college I was required to buy this computer.


When I received it in the mail I excitedly opened it, plugged it in, turned it on, started to connect to the internet, for it to freeze, then crash.


The power cord died within days of receiving it, as did the battery. Both were replaced under warranty, which was a difficult process filled with condescending'geniuses'.


Later the logic board died. Another extremely rude'tech genius' later I discovered my logic board had died. It was replaced for free under the apple care plan. I was told it would probably be fixed in 3 days, but 5 days tops. After five days I called and asked what was going on, and was told they'd call me back and let me know.


When I didn't receive a call, I called back the next day and asked them why I hadn't even gotten a call since it was late, only to be told "Well it looks like we haven't contacted you yet."(DUH)


I got it late the next night.(So late, it almost ended up being the next day)


Soon after that the monitor went out. When I brought it to the store and turned it on, it snapped back on. The tech'genius' attempted to insist it must be a software issue. When I insisted I knew a hardware problem when I saw one he reluctantly agreed to check it out under my care plan. The monitor was replaced as there was a short in the cable that connected it to the computer.


Within a few weeks of that I was back for my CD rom drive. It wouldn't read any CDs, they determined it was broken and replaced it.(This was probably the nicest repair I had at that specific mac store. The genius and service was friendly and when I told him of former complaints he assured me if it wasn't back next day I'd get a call that night. I got a call that night and it was returned the same day. This was the only time this happened, but is why I gave service 3/5)


Recently the C key on my keyboard broke. I took it in only to find it was a miracle any of the keyboard worked. Apparently the entire thing was dead, they replaced it. It was an overnight fix and an overall not terrible experience. except for the wait


.


I have also had wifi issues when a strong signal is available, I've had to turn my computer sometimes to get a signal. My theory is that the casing is blocking the wifi signal(since anytime the monitor is facing a router it cannot get a signal). The bottom line, even if my theory is wrong, is that sometimes wifi is difficult to get even with a strong signal available.


A design glitch is that if you rest your hands or wrists on either side of the track pad, it sometimes causes your computer to click. This is an extremely annoying design glitch that can cause you to switch pages or where you are typing on the page.


Overall this computer has been unreliable, and not nearly as fast as I believe it ought to be. It has had 6 parts replaced under the purchased care plan I have.(Power cord, Battery, Logic Board, CD Rom Drive, Monitor, and Keyboard)


So If you love having your computer break twice a year while you are a student and need it for work, and also love computers with design glitches, and wifi issues, I would highly recommend this computer!


On the other hand if you want your computer to work, try getting a PC, or I hear older macs are more reliable. But this computer is a nightmare that I would only recommend to people I hated.


(Not to mention it's a stupid money hog! Gosh it was expensive.)


I love my macbook pro
Jun 01, 2010 03:50 PM 5327 Views

My Macbook Pro 13.3" with a 2.26 Ghz, 2GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive(upgraded) is about to complete 6 months. I must have used it on an average 15 hours a day, every day! It is as good as new, has never hung or crashed and has never put me into trouble - unlike ALL the Windows based laptop's I've add.


There is something unique about Macbook Pro. I've has the white Macbook's before this  (they are also good) and several HP, Sony and IBM laptops. The metal finish of the macbook ensures that the laptop remains like new all the time. They keyboard is excellent, the backlit ensures I can use it in dark rooms at night. The brightness of the LED screen is great  and there is no comparison of the mac OS with windows, its fast, the search is great, I keep all software open all the time, the dock expose features make it really cool to use.


There is only one downside, I'm never going back to a Windows based laptop, so I'll always have to plan to keep enough money aside for buying macs in the future. I suppose it's better to do that and live peacefully for a few years than to struggle everyday with troublesome laptop.

Don't be cheated
Feb 09, 2010 10:00 AM 6300 Views

I was very much excited when I had I first bought macbook pro one year back while in UK, didn't bother about the price, quick to open , fast no complaints, no crashes, problem started after one year it started heating up I had to use only keeping it on table, no more laptop, costed rs app 5000 to change the fan, few months adapter didn't work another five thousand, few weeks later no display authorized service person advised change in logic board app rs 45 000.


So went on to read about it search similar problem experienced by others. So guys please do not be cheated by initial performance. Its not worth buying if your looking to spend your personal money and expect it to perform for more than one year.


Apple Mac Book Pro 13.3 Inch Rocks
Jan 06, 2010 11:38 PM 5396 Views

After contemplating between all the possible notebooks in the world I narrowed down on the Mac book pro 13 Inch and I can tell you that I have no complaints at all.


Allow me to describe the needs I considered before the purchase


I wanted a notebook that was good with handling media since I am a photographer and also do some video editing.


I wanted something that will help my Parents to use once in a while to browse the internet and chat and type documents etc.


Something that would help me manage my music well.


I wanted something really fast and reliable.


After nearly going for a high end dell laptop I decided against it and went for the Mac for the X factor that the brand carried. They have not let me down overall.


Some of the great things about the Mac Book Pro


Mine is a aluminum unibody and its really thin and light.


Its speed is awesome, the OS X that runs in it just flies be it image editing or video editing.


The built in software like iPhoto and iMovie are great for beginners.


The usability is very good that my mom and dad too can use it without any diffifulty . having said that they are very tech savvy people.


One fine day Ants got into my Macbook pro and to my surprise nothing hapened, they came out slowly as I used the machine and the machine is fit as a fiddle now!


Some of the things that I am not very amused about:


Software for this is really expensive.


Apple has upgraded the software to the Snow leopard but not given it free for people who just bought macs before the release of snow leopard.


There is slight overheating problem.


the file system that Mac's use on USB drives is not NTFS (as in windows file systems) and this requires some unnecessary plug in's to make it compatible making ur life more complex, not Apple's fault but something that we have to live with.


You cannot use ur Mac on a regular projector as Mac's output is different and u need additional adapters.


Apart from these if you can afford it its one of the best notebooks for personal use.


Ideal for people who are dealing with heavy media usage - editing photos / videos etc. if u are using it for browsing and regular stuff it is a criminal waste of money.


Hope this helps, do write to me if you have any other questions.


The virus free laptop
Nov 23, 2009 03:24 PM 4118 Views

Since iam not a software expert I cannot give all the details about the macbook, so this is a very basic review, not very technical, you can say technology has evolved to its current best when you are working at a macbook. Its speedy, savvy and it has a class of its own. Let me show you how!


You can enjoy the benefits of smart working, by having important information just at the scroll of your mouse, yes I am talking about the dashboard application. Stock prices, weather updates, world time, tarot card readings, dictionary and many more features like these are all projected at once.

You could set talking alarms and this could aid you a bit on improving your virtues too. Coming to the other features it has a great camera, rightly called photobooth with a zillion effects.


You could deform, enhance, magnify and even add backgrounds like the times square to your pictures. It has its mail for offline mailing, address book for contact information, i-tunes for music, four to five applications for DVD viewing and lots more. Another unique feature of a macbook is that it is virus-free. You are saved from downloading anti virus software forever! Another fantastic feature is that you can buy windows and install it on your macbook and enjoy the best of both worlds by shifting from macbook features to those of windows!

 SO go ahead and make a smart choice if your’e smart enough.


Yet again, Apple makes the difference...
Nov 15, 2009 08:07 PM 4163 Views

I had reviewed the previous generation MacBook(2007 model) on this site. When that product became old, I decided to buy another Mac, this time, a MacBook Pro because of its brilliant LED backlit display and also because of the power under the hood. And talking about power, this is a mean machine. 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 6MB of L3 Cache, 4GB RAM(Perfect for running Snow Leopard in 64-bit mode), dual graphics cards(Nvidia GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT), built in 7 hour battery and not to miss out the 1440x900p resolution 15.4" 16:10 widescreen display. I decided to buy the 15 inch version since I thought 13 inch was a bit too small for working on.


After buying, I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, I had seen these in Apple Stores all around and the MacBook Pro is a really elegant laptop. Full aluminum. There is no sign of any other material except for the glass on the display and the trackpad. Apple calls this a'unibody' design where the entire laptop chassis has been carved out of a single block of aluminum. The 7 hour battery is built in and is only accessible by removing the screws on the underside of the notebook. As with all Mac laptops, the display lid is latched with a built in magnet and the power adapter is a'trip-fall' safe MagSafe adapter. And, as with all Mac laptops, the I/O is intelligently located on the right side to avoid clutter. Built quality was top notch as it is with all Apple products. The display opened up smoothly without any sound or typically'rough' feeling you get to see on most'PCs'.


The next best thing to talk about is the trackpad. Apple has built in the first ever glass trackpad on this laptop. And the big deal is that the trackpad has no physical buttons. Instead, the trackpad IS the button. You can click anywhere. The trackpad is also extremely huge and spacious for doing multi-touch gestures on them. Some examples are pinch, swipe, four finger swipe etc. And to sum it all up, Apple has built in a very beautiful high resolution 15" display into this device. It is LED backlit which gives better colors and virtually no warm up time. Adding this to to the long line of features and little thoughtful additions and also Mac OS X Snow Leopard(which is way better than Windows), the new Unibody MacBook Pro is a steal.

MacBook Pro Reviews
Aug 13, 2009 02:21 PM 4483 Views

Sure everyone loves to begin their day on a positive andhappy note. But, how many of us actually think of waking up on the right sidethinking not just positive but also extremely smart? Well, at least I know afew who do so, only because they own an Apple Mac Pro. Wondering what the AppleMac Pro is got to do with the smart advantage? I am now going to tell youexactly a bit about the Apple Mac Pro, which to me is the best buy till date.


The Mac Book Pro is Apple’s latest notebook and infact it isApple’s first with Intel’s new attempt at notebook dominance, the Core duo. Insimple, it represents the near peek of current notebook technology in terms ofpower, making a very few compromises for the sake of a sleek profile and alarger or longer battery life.


Let me tell you a few of the positives with the all newApple Mac. To begin with, the new Apple Mac Pro uses Intel Nehalem processorsfor a significant performance boost. Of course, Nehalem is the newest CPU fromIntel and this apparently features much faster throughout between the CPU andits memory. This is so perfectly designed that the Mac can mirror yourimagination to an extent that you can have the image of your choice as desktopwallpaper. Isn’t that just amazing…It definitely is going to leave aneverlasting impression on its users.


Wow, and for sure it’s a beauty of a design from inside tothe outside .After all, it has the best in class desktop design, its uniqueinterior makes upgrades and parts replacements rather a lot simpler and lesser.It has also overcome and hypothetically speaking out-beaten its older versionin high-intensity digital media as well as multi-tasking scenarios, which willhelp you save time in a big way.


Moreover, you can also now add upto three-more graphic cardsto the new Mac Pro for additional display support. To add to it, the expansioncard slots and the CPU and memory have also received improved design elementsto suit your needs.


We must also take note that the electronics and themechanical design makes this Mac book Pro as advanced on the inside as it is onthe outside. The internal architecture has been reengineered from the siliconup, with a unique cutting-edge logic board, chipset and mastered graphicsarchitecture.


Now, after telling you a little about the Apple Mac Pro andwith all these awesome and exemplary features and advantages, I am certainlygoing to buy my Apple really soon as its going to help me complete my work inno time with no problem whatsoever with its fabulous state-of-the-arttechnology.Would’nt you like to join the Apple brigade ?

My experience with an Apple MacBook Pro
May 12, 2009 01:27 PM 4463 Views

Just thought I’ll share my experience of buying a Macbookand I’m absolutely in love with it. I have just taken admission to an MBAcourse at WLC and wanted to buy a laptop that will help me through. I had myeyes on an apple machine but didn’t bother to do too much research consideringthe price. Then some friends let me know that Apple was currently offeringstudent discounts on its macbooks and sent me this link https://apple.com/in/students/


In terms of quality there is nothing to match an Apple andsince it is a hardy machine and would last me longer than most other laptops, Idecided to invest the extra cost and go for it. With a nearly 10% discount Ipicked up my macbook over the counter.


I did not realize that apple precharged my macbooks battery …and soon 7 hours had passed! It apparently came with an 8 hour battery backup!so I don’t have to worry each time the power would go off or if a power port isunavailable in the classroom. The best thing about my macbook is that the keypad glows in the dar!. The machine is also light and weighs a little under 3kilos, I choose the 2.4Ghz processor, the 17 inch screen is great for itsclarity and I love the sound. Unlike most other laptops it does not hang orslow down when many windows are opened and the aluminum finish looks sleek andthe intergrated camera is soooo cool! The MacBook Pro is the envy of all myfriends and I can’t wait for the first day of college.

A happy switch
Mar 29, 2009 04:02 PM 3151 Views

I used an Acer laptop for 3 yrs. No problems with the laptop but the software (read Windows) was slow. I was so used to the routine of antivirus updates, regular defrags, slow startups and yearly formatting that I had accepted it as part of life.


Last year I bought an iMac for my kids because my daughter liked its looks! I had my reservations that the OS and feel would be different and would not be compatible with mainstream applications. But as we used it I realised that this is a fallacy.


Most things just work on these computers.I decided to switch to a MacBook Pro this year and bought one last month. Well, the magic continues... I repeat, most things just work. The software is intelligent enough to almost understand your needs (note that I am not a software pro - just an end user who often needs to learn new tricks on the go and the Macbook is just the thing for me).The cost is a bit prohibitive at 1.14 lacs but considering that it is my virtual office for the next few years to come, the laptop is worth the spend. The feel, the finish, the form, the finesse...Wow!Strongly recommend buy.


An ultimate computing exp.
Feb 15, 2009 10:48 AM 3878 Views

Hi people, Some time back I purchased an new Mac book pro. Since then, my world of computing has changed forever. I am amazed by the ease of use. This laptop is just awesome. I am a software engineer by profession and my work demands to be on computer for around 10-14 hrs a day.


Whether it be software development in java, C++, Ruby, C or Graphics image manipulation, Games, surfing, chatting. MAC book pro delivers very impressive performance. On my old HP laptop, which use to take around 1-2 minutes for boot up, macbook pro takes between 20-30 seconds.


Moreover there is no system crashes, no viruses, no malicious softwares, no spyware. And if you are a hardcore programmer, that command prompt or shell is something to look for. Its bouquet of many unix commands will make your life very simpler and happy ( provided u are comfortable with command based interface ? ). There are various windows equivalent software available on MAC.


•iWeb equivalent to FrontPage


•IWorks equivalent to MS Office (though MS office also comes for MAC).


•Remote desktop is available for mac •Firefox is available as a browser for mac •VPN client is available for mac


•Development IDEs like Eclipse, Netbeans is available for mac


•Web servers are also available.


•Notepad equivalents are flooded for mac.


And list goes on I strongly suggest this laptop for everyone. This come bundled with software which u need in your daily use and more over no risk of using pirated software and system crashes.


The best in Laptops
Aug 27, 2008 07:21 PM 25724 Views

I have purchased a Mac Book recently and I m more than happy. My work demands me to sit on a computer for 8-10 hours a day and to my surprise my efficiency of work has improved and I m glad I m free from the basic windows problems. my machine used to take 2 to 3 minutes to start up earlier n in a mac book it doesnt even take 20 seconds. there r other benefits over windows like no viruses, no system crashes etc etc. u open 4-5 windows in a pc the machine hangs. its very frustrating.


Its an excellent product and one query which comes to everyones mind is tht its a different operating system what happens to our data. I dont know who started this that thr will be data transfer problems coz I myself delayed my decision for 2 days bcoz of this. its a total rumour that data transfer would be a problem. whn the engineer came for delivery he transferred most of the data except for my mails which were around 20 Gb.


I myself transferred my outlook express mails to entourage with ease.


In the last 15 years I have bought and upgraded my PCs 3 to 4 times . I had a Acer n then an Hp notebook n then a Sony vaio but all the times I went to the market to make a choice I wasnt even aware of mac Book as an option. n now 2 months since m using a Mac book m so blended with it that I get frustrated when I have to sit on a PC.


We Took A Bite Out Of An Apple

My husband had a very serious operation about a month ago. He was given a 50/50 chance of surviving. The doctors said if he did survive he might die of blood poisoning or pneumonia. Our family and friend prayed and he is home now.


We now own a Apple Mac Pro 10 computer. We would never would have bought it for ourselves but our son bought it for us for $1500.00. His dad could get to the computer so he can use this in bed or in a chair.


The Computer:


It is quite light weighing about 4.6 pounds light and fit into a shoulder bag.


It comes with a Active Matrix 12 inch screen, (it has a glossy finish), I can use it with windows and Macintosh, the CPU speed, (MHz) is over 1000 and the RAM is more than 256.


It is built so it has the power of two processor cores, (up to 2.33GHz), inside a single chip that is called Intel Core 2 Duo.


I like the 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and he likes the  music encoding.


MacBook Pro supports hard drives up to 200GB and up to 3GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory and has a fine wire 800 port, iLife and a double layer burning super drive.


I have even installed Windows XP, (to get their updates). It will work with any mouse you have.


It has an  ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600 graphics processor under the hood there is a  256 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM powers the mobile visual studi. You can retouch the color, edit on location or video conference with friends.


It was designed for people to take everywhere and so I can watch American and Canadian TV stations or listen to music when we are on vacation. I hope that will be soon.


It does not come with Photoshop or Adobe reader. That doesn't bother me because of the graphic designs, the Ram and the processor.


I did have an Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional installed so I can surf the ne and read everythingt.


Connections:


The man who brought us the computer installed a connection between our old one and our new one.


Do We Like It:


Even if it was only worth 10 cents we would love it because it was a gift from out son.


You Will Like It:


It has the best features that any other computers we have owned.


Thank you so much for reading my review.




  • A personal note:




I'm am not sure if my husband will make the wedding. I won't be back to rate or post a review until September.

The Fastest Lappy to date
Mar 02, 2007 04:29 PM 7183 Views

I recently picked up the Macbook Pro 17".


MacBook Pro is built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo — which packs the power of two processor cores(up to 2.33GHz) inside a single chip. It provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding. But the new engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro supports hard drives up to 200GB and up to 3GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory. And now every MacBook Pro boasts both a FireWire 800 port and a double-layer burning SuperDrive. Ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity. To go. That’s MacBook Pro.


Overall its a smoth piece of machine and the best part is that one can even install windows XP on a separate partition along with OSX.


Promote your ideas on the MacBook Pro’s dazzling display. An aggressive ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor under the hood coupled with up to 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM powers the mobile visual studio you’ve been waiting for. Retouch color, edit on location, video conference with colleagues: Do it all, anywhere.


Then there’s the not-so-subtle ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with up to 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. Designed for high-performance portables, this graphics powerhouse packs more punch into a much smaller space. The X1600 can push data through 12 pixel shader pipelines and five vertex processors on the 16-lane PCI Express bus interface. Enjoy sharp videos and photos, smooth video playback, astonishing effects, and vibrant colors — as well as texture-rich 3D performance in next-generation games.


So for guys who are into hardcore multimedia, graphics or audio based production, this baby is a worth buy.


This also comes with a remote; which controls your Music, Video 7 Pictures, incase you need to give a presentation or just listen to music or watch movies.


Apple always has been in the upper bracket in terms of pricing; but worth for the performance. If you've got the bucks, pick it up!
