i've had my apple wireless keyboard for a year and i haven't changed the batteries yet, and it's never off. i had a wireless mighty mouse for 2years and i changed the batteries 3 times then i stopped using it because the scroll ball is a POS... and now im using a wired mighty mouse (had an extra one)but im thinking of getting a logitech MX revolution

nothing is wrong with your battery. and my guess would be.. battery cycle is how many times it's been drained and recharged.

yea but i see all yall dudes up there wit the screenshots, & yall had ur macs longer than me, but i got way more battery cycles

 

[cwrite78]

mein is the only person here who has had a mac longer than yours, and you probably don't keep it charged like most of us do. my pro is basically a desktopreplacement since I never take it anywhere and have an 2 extra monitors attached to it, USB hub and so on.

oh... so basically i should just leave it on the charger even when its 100% charged.?

 

[cwrite78]

i do, but i cycle my battery once a month. probably why i only have 4 cycles since i got it. not saying what im doing is right but i haven't had anyproblems. and before i got my mac replaced i never had a problem with the battery. but u shouldn't worry to much, your computer is fairly new and i dontsee anything wrong with your battery.

 

[stepinitup]

[cwrite78]

Alright I'm looking to buy a new macbook but the problem is I don't want to just straight up buy a 1000+ laptop I know someone selling a brand new onefor 900 is that a good price?. Does anyone know anywere besides apple were I can buy a brand new one for less? or has anyone financed one from apple? How'sthat like.

Any help is appreciated

 

[cwrite78]

i wonder if you dudes even think before you ask questions. 900 for a brand new apple computer that goes for 1000+ what do YOU think. and finding apple belowretail and new is almost impossible. and financing a computer?

especially if you have a deal for 900.

Yes the latency is a little high but the speeds are pretty good. Also the download and upload speeds are near synchronous.

any way to tether the iphone to the mac as of right now?


Hopefuly OS 3.0 comes with tethering.

Googler, my bad for taking so long to answer. Yuku was acting up yesterday.

Anyway 3.0 has the capability to do tethering...it's up to AT&T whether they are going to allow it or not. Mostlikely they will for a fee. I think it's a great idea, that functionality will round out the feature list for the iPhone without a doubt.

I asked cause i had never owned any apple products but I'm pretty aware how expensive their stuff is, but I'm searching through craigslistand I'm finding some better deals for some new macbooks so I'm gonna see if i pull the trigger on one pretty soon.
