nothing wrong with them, but the MBP line is due for a refresh anytime now. Unless you absolutely need to buy it now, i would wait a few weeks.

I do know somebody who has a brand new macbook, I'll see what I can do with that. with target mode, can I boot off the other mac? or just run the installer or what? I'd have no problem buying the dual layer disc, but I don't have a dual layer burner... but at the same time, I guess my friend's brand new mac should, right? thanks for the advice!Originally Posted by thegoat121886

I just picked up an older powerbook G4 which has OS X 10.3.9 on it. I haven't had a Mac since 1994 or so. I believe I need OS x 10.5 (Leopard) to function online at this point. I am trying to avoid having to buy the discs as I understand you cannot upgrade from 10.3.9 for free, which sucks. I was able to DL a torrent of Leopard, but I can't burn it because I don't have a dual layer DVD burner. anybody have any advice or can anybody help me figure this out somehow? can I go buy a 20 gb external drive and install from that? Is there a way to partition the HD on the Mac, mount the image, and install it on the other partition? if I can get it on there and it works and I like it, I will consider buying the legit discs. thanks in advance for any advice.
Do you have another mac you can use...maybe a friend/family member? You can install it using Target mode with a firewire cable. If not that, you can use a USB jump drive. A dual layer dvd shouldnt run you more than $5 though
Other than being on the verge of an update, then no. Solid machine that will last you a long time.Originally Posted by jretro23

Honestly, if you could wait till March, then I suggest buying then. The MBP line is suppose to be updated real soon. I believe the extra $200 is worth the money since you get: Aluminum uni-body, firewire (connection for video, external HD, etc), back-lit keyboard, and style. Either way, both are great Macbooks, but the extra $200 that you spend for the Pro will be worth it.Originally Posted by fundz4
Thinking about buying one today. My question is so i go for teh macbook or the macbook pro. Is the difference that much that i should spend the extra $200 for less up grades on the pro?
are the prices for the new macbook pro's gonna be the same as the current ones right now? or will they increase a little bit?Originally Posted by LiveMyReality

I think they generally drop the prices of the older models and continue to offer the same price. At least that's what they do with iPods.Originally Posted by jretro23

idk what Peergaurdian is, but it sounds a lot like Little Snitch, which is what I use. I'd look into that.
