I finished installing Windows 7 on 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7 through Boot Camp early this morning. Why you asked? Because there’s a specific audio software that would run on Windows. I tried using virtualization within Mac OS X but it performed so poorly. I did upgrade the RAM to 8GB.

Anyway, here’s the Experience Index:

As anticipated, Apple introduces new MacBook Pro line with Tunderbolt I/O port. The 13-inch model sports dual-core Intel Core 15 or i7 processors and Intel HD Graphics 3000. The 15-inch and 17-inch models sport quad-core Intel Core 17 processor and AMD Radeon HD 6750M Graphics Processor.

Both 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro come equipped with SDXC Card slot, while the 17-inch model retains the ExpressCard/34 slot.

MacBook Pro line still retains the Optical Drive.

Does New MacBook Pro Offer Optional Second Hard Drive In Lieu Of Optical Drive? February 21, 2011

Posted by very in : Apple, MacBook, News, Resources, Tech , add a comment

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be an Apple Executive that is definitely not Phil Schiller, Apple has been exploring the idea of including the option for second hard drive for MacBook Pro instead of the optical drive. In addition to that with slight redesign to the motherboard, MacBook Pro could house total of three hard drives. While details are unclear, Apple might offer MacBook Air style flash-based storage in addition to the 2.5-inch SATA hard drive and the Optical drive.

According to the same source, MacBook Pro refresh is “coming sooner than you think” while providing no details on the time-frame.

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon. December 17, 2010

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon. I paid $249 for the ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD back in late October and installed it on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7. It has been a great experience so far. The 128GB of storage space is relatively small, but I’ve learned to organize files better. Having an external FireWire 800 drive is really handy.

Forty-five days into using the an SSD on my MacBoo Pro, I highly recommend it to anyone.
