Posting from my new REFURB Macbook Pro 15"

[samintx]

I''ve never had a 15" screen. Nice. Lion OS 2.2 i7.

Will be fun for movies and pictures.

UPGRADE THAT THING!!!

I'm sure you don't need the full power that this machine can give you but it sure is fun to use. Get an SSD and just throw 16GB in there and it'll be a LONG TIME until you hand it down to your daughter...

can it take a 32 SSD. Not much price diff.

HUH? This does not computer...

I'd suggest AT LEAST 120GB SSD - they can be found for as little as $80 these days.

Oh, I saw the 16 Flash and thought that was the recommendation...but saw larger flash cards.


BACK TO THE FUTURE???? I felt like I was in the Control Panel days when I went to the System Preferences! Looked like the old days. I hit some key and a long list came up showing date, time etc etc. Don't know if I can find it again but..

Sam - you're gonna need help with this. You are confusing this:



with this:

no I know I don't need a card reader! Flash memory

oy, you DO need help with the terminology... the first picture is a Solid State Drive (SSD), the other thing goes by many names - flash drive is most common I think.

I didn't say anything about a card reader... careful when ordering that you get what you want...

[samintx]

I have a card reader that is a finger drive shape...I didn't look carefully at that and thought it was like my card reader! Incidentally, I love that finger drive card reader!

Sam, please post the specs on your machine. That'd help a lot with communication.
