- 2.5GHz Core2Duo, 4gb PC5300 RAM, 200gb 7200RPM HD, nVidia 8600m GT 512mb
After a long time of waiting, I finally ordered my new MBP last night. 15" 2.5GHZ model, only upgrade was 200gb 7200RPM HD. Got a few questions.
Thanks in advance everyone. And anything else you think a new switcher should know, please post!
- Can anyone comment on how long it took for Apple to ship their MBP with the free shipping?
- As a college student, is iWork '08 worth it? I ordered MS Office '08 Student Edition, but I've heard keynote is far superior to powerpoint. iWork can be had on Amazon for $62. Is it worth it?
- Also for a college student, has anyone ever used Notebook 2.1? Is it a good program?
- I also needed a printer to take to college and ordered a HP C4385. It can connect via wifi. I have never used a wifi printer and was wondering if you have to connect it via something such as airport extreme, or can the computer and printer link directly? Reason I'm asking is because at UCSB students are forbidden from opening their own access points (eg, can't use airport extreme), so will I have to connect to the printer with a cable or does the printer have its own server? Sorry if this part is a bit confusing, I can try to clarify if necessary.
