We are thinking about getting a laptop. Some macbooks have an internal CD / DVD drive and others do not. I've been told that the hard drives of macbooks with internal
CD / DVD have moving parts and are more delicate than the newer macbooks without internal drives because the newer hard drives do not have moving parts.
Is this so and how much of a difference does it really make?
Our desktop uses 10.6.8 and we use the mac mail program that came with it (4.6) If we use the same e mail provider and the same address on both desktop and laptop,
1. Will mail collected on either the desktop or macbook show up on the other or must it be collected on each computer?
2. If e mail is deleted from the desktop will it also be deleted from the macbook?
3. If the answer to #2 is Yes, is there a way to delete the same mail message from the desktop but not the laptop?
Thanks
Bob
