Why aren't there any AirPrint compatible printers recommended on the Apple site that are Laser & Color?
I'm starting to regret moving my business to all Apple products this week if my business is going to have to go back to the stone ages and only use inkjet printers if we want to print wirelessly from our macs and iPads. Any suggestions here are VERY appreciated!

Best AnswerIf the choice is between these two (hoping you have looked at iMac and ruled it out), then only factor between the two is Money !
If your usage is basic and not a high end, then I would suggest air. I used it for one year. I switched to 13" Macbook pro retina , as the design is superb and the newest version is "almost" as light ! Cost was obviously higher ! But the display is just worth it !- Answered by Anup K from Cary

Best Answer
Yes - all you need is the one of the Mac versions (Home Edition/Student Edition/Professional) which is sold in all Apple Stores (from my own experience)

What laptop should I buy for high school?
I'm starting the IB diploma in a few months so I'll need to do a lot of presentations and stuff. I'll also need long battery life and something lightweight because I'll need to take it to school often. I also edit a lot of photos, and surf the internet a lot. So which Mac should I buy?

Which mac would suit me?macbook pro, the air, or the retina?
Hello everyone,
I am going to go in 11th and would be requiring a laptop. After some research, I decided to buy a MacBook. But here is the problem, which MacBook should I buy?
I would be using my macbook for-
-web surfing
- essays and presentations
- light or basic photo and video editing. These videos would be at least 720p.
- really basic gaming.
These uses are my estimated uses and might change according to the time.
I want a light machine that doesn't add bulk to my bag, but also want a powerful machine too. For this power, the weight of the machine would be ignored. I want a really responsive machine, which looks really stunning.
I have decided to go with the 13 inch form factor as it is a lot more portable, and also reasonably cheap. So, should I buy a MacBook Pro or the air or MacBook Pro retina?
This is a really important decision for me as once I buy this machine, it would be with me for at least 5 years.
Also, would 4gb ram be ample for me or should I go for the 8gb?- Asked by Manjiri N

Should I get a MacBook Air 11", Air 13", or a MacBook Pro 13"?
I'm going to be a freshman in college this fall, and I need an upgrade from my old, slow PC to something I can use throughout my college years. My friends are all getting MacBook Pros, and all suggest that I should do the same (due to longer battery life, better storage, higher speed, CD drive, etc.). However, the Pro's are a little bit out of my price range. If I find that they are worth the extra money, I have no problem forking it over (especially with the student discount!). However, I haven't received very personal or specific advice from people who know what they're talking about (yet). I have been looking into the MacBook Airs, and from what I've read, they should be okay for my needs. I will be typing, reading, downloading, and using word documents frequently, uploading pictures and video (not a lot, and I could look into external storage for those), using iTunes, taking notes in class, and it needs to be fairly light and portable so I can carry it around campus with me.
If you would kindly give me your advice on which Mac laptop I should get, it would be greatly appreciated! The main issues are:
Price
Speed
Portability
and ability to survive at least 4 years of college
Thank you!- Asked by Erin M from West Valley

Best AnswerErin,
I've been asking myself the same question. My circumstances aren't exactly the same but it boils down to pretty much the same thing - what's more important: form factor, storage space, zippiness, power, or longevity?
I'm loving the form factor of the Air and have been leaning towards it because of this - size and weight just can't be changed. Honestly, I was hoping they'd blend the 13" Air and Pro in the most recent iteration but they did not.
For now, the Air will suit all your needs but with storage compromises, as you mentioned re: external drives. The Pro seems like it'll be more sturdy though and will likely have a longer lifespan. I'm thinking that the Air might start to seem a little slow or non- upgradeable in about 3 years. However, if the hardware requirements don't keep going up, as they have been mostly curtailed in the last few years, you might still be okay for the fourth year or maybe even more. I'm looking at it as the Air is a premium 3 year purchase and the Pro is a sturdy 5-6 year one. You could always throw an ssd in the Pro to make it more zippy but that definitely won't declunkify it. You could always also throw a 256 GB and 8GB of RAM in the Air but then that just prices the thing up into a whole nother market.
I'm stuck on the same point but am thinking I'll be happier with the Air strictly because of its form factor. This should also be pretty key for you, as you'll be taking around to lectures.
As per storage, the other main hurdle, I have a 115GB ssd in my desktop and it's fine for space (I use about 50GB) but that's with about 250GB worth of data (pic's, vid's, music and doc's) on the 500GB external drive that I've got. I think the 128GB model will be fine if you're content with storing much of your heavy data externally, which I currently do just for safety and stability.
I hope these ideas helped.- Answered by Ryan P from Toronto

My question is whether people purchase the SuperDrive since there is no CD/DVD drive in the MacBook Air.

Which Macbook is good for light Graphic Design and Multitasking.
I am looking to purchase a Macbook but was not sure exactly which one would be best for me. I have tried other Forums but they all suggest build a PC laptop but I know mac is used a lot more with companies than a PC is. I am whiling to spend at max $2000 with the apple care plan. I need the computer to be able to multitask for my current office job and be able to run programs like Photoshop or Maya. I currently have a desktop at home for graphic design and would only the laptop to be able to do some stuff while I am away from home.
Please help me I know about computers but not a lot on Mac since this will be my first Mac computer purchase.- Asked by Justin B from Indianapolis
