[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1178063, member: 21101"] I've seen that mas os x snow leopard is the latest os, when a new os comes out, do you have to pay for the upgrade or do you get them for free like you do when you get a firmware update on the iPad? - [COLOR="Red"]Snow Leopard updates are free, and each point release may bring stability or performance upgrades, or occasionally new features to applications you have installed, like iLife apps or others. The next OS X version (Lion) will have to be paid for - probably around $129, although Snow Leopard was only $29[/COLOR] Also, I'd really like to get some sort of backup system and I've seen the time capsule. Looks really easy to use, but can windows pc's get the files from the time capsule - [COLOR="Red"]Time Machine backups can only be accessed by the machine that did the backup, or another Mac if you're migrating accounts. Windows machines cannot read the backups. However, you can manually back up to a FAT32 compatible disk and have Windows read from there [/COLOR] One last thing, I love the sims 3 and have seen that you can now play it on mac's. Nt really sure whether I ort to opt for the MacBook pro over the standard MacBook. Just want to know how well the sims runs - [COLOR="Red"]The newest MacBook has a nVidia 320m which is more than capable of running Sims 3 - you'll have no issues.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
