Yep needs Dual link which the macbook dont support.


Called apple today and was easier than i thought it was going to be ...they are arranging a courier to come collect it this week.

Just unsure on what to do now....order a macbook pro replacment or hang on for the rumourd PRO in a macbook chassis.

One thing i did notice in the short time ive had the macbook was how slow it was at opening the various included apps....is this nomal with a mac?

It only had the 1gig of ram would 2 cure this?

Thanks

I don't think it would make much difference unless the RAM had already been used up and it was having to load things in and out memory. 2Gb will allow you to open more programs and not encounter this problem. You'll also find that having the MacBook plugged in will increase the performance otherwise you have to force the MacBook into the higher performance while on battery.

Not sure on how long before the new MacBook Pro's but now is the perfect time for a MacBook :)

What do you intend to do on the MacBook/MacBook Pro as the difference between the two is mainly based around graphics as opposed to more performance?

Personally I love the 13.3" screen as it does the same resolution as the 15" on the MacBook Pro ;) Although the MacBook Pro does have a backlit keyboard :p

I want to hook it up to a 30'' monitor which only the PRO supports.

If the macbook supported dual-link,id defo get another macbook.
 
Say if i was to order a PRO today standard no additions.....How long do they normally take to deliver?

It took 2 weeks to receive the macbook because i opted for the additional mini DVI - DVI adapter....do you think it would be the same sort of delivery time for the PRO?

Also whats the best screen to go with glossy or matt?

Thanks
