I think it has a minimum of 20GB for BootCamp. So I don't think the assistant will let you go smaller.
Maybe I'm wrong. It's been a while.

No one knows, but I seem to recall that a lot of people expect them to phase out non-Retina MacBook Pros any day now.

So, I have a pair of Apple Earpods, and have had them for a while. They work as expected with my iPhone 4.
On my 2011 MacBook Air, the remote doesn't work, and the microphone does not show up as an input. If I plug in my original & uncomfortable Apple Earbuds, everything works as expected.
Is this a known issue? Thus far Google & DuckDuckGo have not proven fruitful.
I've even restarted the whole Mac in an effort to fix this.

I am ashamed.
Kidko is absolutely right. No matter what others say, I always have been very contented with my sandforce based drives. starting from Intel 3xx series I have not been let down & i always recommend this to my friends & they too have been happy with performance & mainly reliability of the latest sandforce based SSDs

Well, apparently they don't anymore. Must have broken a wire in the last week. Sonofabitch.
I learned over the weekend that Intel has their own Sandforce driver, which might be why we've been happy with the 3xx ones and other Sandforce-based drives haven't been so good for people.

If anyone is looking for a 15" 2010 Macbook Pro, PM me or look in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.
Really looking to sell this badboy soon.

Would it be worth buying a rMBP at this point? Have a buddy heading to NY next week, want him to go pick one up for me, if not I guess I'll just go with a normal MBP but why is the jump between 13 and 15 inch so much
They're going to have new ones very soon, but probably not "next week" soon. Anyone you ask will suggest you wait.
Don't think I can wait for later then next week, I had heard the current line of rMBP have issues with performance, is this still the case?

Apple is rumored to have a new event on October 15th according to a French rumor site via 9to5mac.

Wait, they're out next month
I am not sure just because Intel has custom firmware on sandforce controllers, they are doing good. This could be just be a false positive. I have used other brands like kingston,sandisk,OWC which also use sandforce controller & they are doing good. I personally love the OWC mercury Electra 6G which is simply terrific!
Boot camp is an essential tool.

I just make do with the Mac OS. I almost never have nothing else on the go that I am interested in restarting. As soon as software update tells me I need to restart my Mac I start ignoring updates for many weeks.
I almost exclusively use W7 for games and some pieces of software that are not supported on osx.
I don't mind sitting in the window environment, because it's still the laptop I bought and it's doing what I need and want it to do. I prefer osx as my native OS.

A maxed out iMac running Steam in Boot Camp is a beautiful thing. And then you can switch back to Mac OS X for everything else.
Oh in the UK its 14% fir so models, I'm quite a heavy internet user anyways with a lot of pines tabs and plan to use this for about 4 years. Plus I plan do do some gaming with compatible games.

I installed Windows 8 on my bootcamp partition thinking I'd need it but haven't touched it since then. I bet I have 80 updates when I boot into it.

Do student discounts come with that?
I don't know but I doubt it.
just checked it out and saw no option for using Edu Discount
Finally installed Windows on mac via Parallels. Its works very great, i was worried about it being slow since its virtualized. It actually works very smooth, now i wont have any problems working with SharePoint (im an application manager) at work!
I almost purchased Parallels on their website but then i remembered i can buy software cheap at my University. Im glad i did since it got there at half the price!

Good deal, Parallels is RAM intensive. So if you have a sufficient amount of RAM allocated to your Parallels partition it will work smoothly.

Still patiently waiting on a Haswell mini. Give me an i7-4750HQ with Iris Pro 5200 for $799 possibly even include a 128 GB SSD.
Feeling inspired by iOS7 I decided to change some icons on my Mac.
I need to find some decent Folder images now and then I'm sorted. If anyone can help me out with finding some, I'd be most grateful.
Deviantart under icons has a huge amount. Just look under popular. Or the rocketdock website (albeit there a ton of rubbish ones on Rocketdock).
So does anyone else still have problems with their Macbook Air dropping wifi?
I remember reading that there was a fix in one of the updates for OSX but I still have my wifi cut off randomly.
When I'm at school my wifi cuts off more frequently and the icon on the menubar begins pulsing. I think this might be a problem with my campus wifi more than the macbook though.
When I'm at home the wifi just becomes slow and then stops working but the menubar still shows that its connected.
Its a summer 2012 model if that matters.

no no problems at all (mb air 2013) its perfect on various networks.
I have a nother problem though when lifting my macbook air on the right corner it makes strange cracking noises. Ive heard it could be that the bottom case is not screwed in perfectly iam not sure if i should visit a apple store over this or just buy a 5 star pendulum screwdriver and fix it myself
No improvements to the display, I'm still holding out hope for a retina apple cinema display this year. Well the long wait til the haswell macbook pro continues
UGH they are just toying with us, aren't they.
You also hoping to pay $5K or $10K or more for a retina apple 27" cinema display this year?
Asus has started selling a 31" 4K monitor for $3,500. Even with the Apple Tax I don't think a retina apple 27" cinema display this year would be $5K much less $10K

I'm hoping for an Apple Thunderbolt Display with DisplayPort input for PCs. Even though I just went and bought a Dell U2713HM I'd gladly ditch it for one.

This update made my day despite the fact that I am not buying anything. I am wondering about the base model though because I thought Iris Pro was attached to mobile processors only. I can imagine though that Apple went with the Iris Pro graphics because the 640M to 740M wasn't a huge jump.
How thick is that display?
I'm hoping an Apple Thunderbolt Display with input for AppleTVs before I even dream of inputs for PCs.
?
Dimensions w/ Base (WxHxD) 29.5" x 19.3" x 10.1"
Anandtech's review ASUS PQ321Q UltraHD Monitor Review: Living with a 31.5-inch 4K Desktop Display
They give 3.5cm as the maximum depth of the display, which is still way too thick for Apple (and I'd wager there are issues with how the bonded glass treatment might work).
If anything, expect new 4K displays from Apple to go along with the Pro. It'll trickle down over the next year or two. iMac displays are already pretty sharp... not worth the performance hit really.
wtf does that even mean?
As in if it's 3.5 cm for a display, they're not going to be able to cram in everything else and keep their razor-thin edges, methinks.

Def buy it now, it was just updated in the summer so you won't see an update for prob 8 more months.
Get it now. They just got updated.
