[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1348463, member: 184879"] Build quality, warranty, noise, high resell value, software & hardware designed for each other, better track pads, comapatibility with ever major OS out there via Boot Camp or VMs. Yep! Yep! PS3 media server Its a standard SD slot, which you can get adapters for smaller cards. Yep! all that and more. most programs have Mac alternatives - and most of what you are looking for come pre installed right out the box. No, its all natively installed to the OS. There is an App Store you can use to download apps for the Mac, a bit like you download music from itunes. yes you can. its pretty much plug and play. You can do it all from the built in Disk utility. Unless being driven to extremes MBPs are extremely quiet. i use mine for recording, and rarely get any excess noise from the laptop. yes. You cant make it louder, but you can use equalisers to change the timbre of the sound. A Mac IS a PC. you can install Windows and play any game designed to run in Windows on your Mac. You cant install Android apps, or iOS apps to it. theres loads. Chrome, Opera, FF, Safari... Its a long debated topic, but basically, the grounds the OS runs on is designed in a way that stops programs from installing without user input. Any malware you may happen to download by accident as a result of your browsing (and it is pretty unlikely you will) will ask for a password before installing. Dont put in your password, no malware, simple as that. Most users here, including myself, dont run any AV software for this very reason. i believe they come with a recovery partition now for this. It will come with Lion. very regularly. Yes, and it will remember every network you've connected to so you never have to put the password in again. Speed is exactly the same as a Windows machine. Its unlikely we will ever see it. you can buy an external burner, but as of yet there is no program available for OSX that can actually play BR discs. Anti glare is extra. yes. OSX can write to any format other than NTFS, which it can only read from. You can buy drivers which allow you to however.. Songbird. [/QUOTE]
