- 15" PB 1.5, 512 ram, superdrive, one sexy computer!
okay so i got the 15 inch pb for college and like it a lot now after initially having buyers remorse due to the price (I had just returned a dell 8600 that was about 1850 whereas I paid 2450 for the pb).
So here are some questions I have.
1. I transferred my files from the pc using the ipod. Why don't .wmv files work well. Like they can only be the smallest size but if you enlarge them they get awful quality. On the pc they worked fine at full screen mode (a little grainy but not much). Also on the mac the .mpg and .mov files are fine enlarged.
2. What are the F7-F10 buttons? I thought they were for expose but they dont work they make this appear that looks like a sun with rays and it shows none full. I customized f11 and f12 to expose. Also F7 has like two boxes on it but it does nothing.
3. Which mouse is the best to use? I had a microsoft intellimouse explorer for the pc but it broke. Should I get one for mac and does it have software. Also wired or wireless or bluetooth??
4. It seems that the pb gets very hot at times usually when plugged in because of maximum performance i guess. Is that the reason? I downloaded that heat sensor software and it said 148 degrees farenheit at times. That seems a little too hot! i did buy a well rated stand called ilap that should help.
5. I have a wireless network in my house and it works wondefully and was extremely easy to get connected at first. However everytime I restart up the computer a window pops up saying it sees the network and gives the name we called it but it is not trusted or something. if you want to recognize it and allow it to start automatically click the checkmark and click yes. I do this but each time it still prompts me when booting.
I think thats about all for now that I can think of. Thanks in advance!
