Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
In fact make sure its a core 2 duo because OSX Lion requires it, and to work with the latest version of XCode you need the latest OS, right? [Apple] are sneaky [bastards]. -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
err, I'm running snow leopard on my 27" iMac office machine and compiling with the latest version of Xcode every day. One thing I would say is that OSX is still a little lacking when it comes to preparing assets for modern games. There's a distinct lack of highpoly tools. This is starting to change (and luckily for me,… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Sounds to me you're more a victim of poor security practices than flaws in the OS. I do regular scans of my PC. In fact 99% of viruses are the user's fault. All operating systems include adequate tools to help you secure your system, but people just don't utilize them and install risky apps and browser plugins. I don't… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Just make sure it doesn't have the intel video card and you're fine. I absolutely love my macbook air and my macbook pro though. I've been using a thinkpad before but now I really love those machines. The only thing I really hate is that right-mb-drag doesn't seem to work in windows with the built in touchpad. But its… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Naivety it is not. Hardcore OSX users are really just hardcore Unix users. OSX is just sporting a custom GUI on a tweaked version of FreeBSD that will only run on specially coded hardware (as in DRM). That's why a hackintosh is so hard to build. There's nothing truly special about Apple products other than the ability of… -

But £1300 for a new laptop that can run Lion cause you need a Core 2 Duo and not just that Dual Core that you have ;) :thumbup: -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
would be new to me that OS X is signed, pretty sure it isn't. There's just 2 versions - one computer specific, it only installs on the same hardware it came with, the other version is hardware independent and can be installed on all macs that support it (that one you buy in the Apple store, or now, via the app store). CPU… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
A very naive view that kinda sounds like the first time you heard about Apple was yesterday. As Justin said, a lot of 'hardcore' Mac users probably know more about tech than most 'techie' PC users. Sure the MacBook Air's and iMacs are straight consumer marketed products, but the Mac Pro stuff is some serious (and seriously… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Oh shit really? :( :( But its a 2ghz core 2 duo, with 2 GB of RAM, why would it run slow? -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Yeah I dislike how they do that. Technically you could run an older XCode, but then you'd want to run iOS5 if you're developing, which needs XCode 4.x.x which needs Lion. Having said that, Lion is only £20 for the OS (regardless of which previous version you're coming from).
