Best webcam for mac mini?
Has anyone found a good webcam for use with a mac mini? I would prefer to be able to capture video directly in iMovie, without having to buy a thunderbolt display, and it seems like I wouldn't be able to do that with any of the webcams currently on the market.

Which 13 inch Macbook Pro?
I am looking to buy my first macbook, and I want good processing. I do a lot of internet surfing and documenting, along with mulitudes of other stuff... And I'm on a budget so I cant be too spendy. I watch a LOT of downloaded movies and have a lot of songs. So basicly I would like to know what amount of ram, what amount of GHz, what core, and what hard drive to get. Any answers in the future, I thank you.

AnswerFrom what you have described I would recommend the 13" Macbook Pro with 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 with the 750Gb hard drive option. Here is why, it will be much cheaper than the retina macbook pro and with far more hard drive space as the retina only has 128 Gb standard. Next you will also be able to upgrade the non retina macbook pro in the future if needed while the retina MBP is non upgradable, its how you get it from the factory. The Solid state drive in the rMBP is not worth it for what you do and the added speed is not a dealbreaker for what you will use your new laptop for. Hopefully this helps you make your decision.

Is Macbook Air 64GB better?
I am in 7th grade and will probably be using this laptop into high school (probably until college, mostly.) I am also purchasing this laptop by myself. I will use it for documents, web searching, making pictures, and the occasional movie/movie trailer on iMovie. Does this sound good? I will probably delete files every year or two for maximum space, but would I still run out too quickly?

I am currently running OSX 10.5.8. I have 2GB RAM and a 250GB HD. Thanks.

AnswerNope, no way. I'm sure if someone out there was dedicated enough to rewrite almost the whole operating system then yes. But Lion/Mountain Lion/Snow Leopard have been written only for Intel Architecture.

will appleworks work on a macbook air?
I couldn't find an answer to this question. If I upgrade my Mac G5 to a Macbook pro or air, will the appleworks be able to work on the new computer? If not, is there a program on the new computer that will at least allow the appleworks documents to open? What should I do to not lose those documents?

Macbook Pro 13 inch vs 15 inch retina for Gaming
Actually I've got now the high-end early-2011 MacBook Pro 13" with 2.7 GHz, 8Gb Ram and 1TB HD, and, (I know, that's too bad) an Intel HD Graphics 3000 videocard. I do not play a lot, but I really like playing Assassin's Creed and Brotherhood is my favorite part of it. However, I came to realize that this game (which is actually VERY demanding) is running unstably even on minimum settings (which I truly hate to use because all of the game here is right about stunning graphics) In february or may I am considering to buy a new MacBook Pro and I am wondering about which of them, usual Pro 13'', usual Pro 15" or the retina one will give me the maximum possible performance for demanding gaming (of course, it will also be smooth with regular programs). And I also want to know if the game I mentioned will REALLY be able to work in a right way on maximum settings. And also, basically, is a 15" retina worth its money vs the 15" Pro? Thanks in advance, community!!!:)

Best AnswerI have a retina and I play games like Starcraft 2, Heroes of Newerth, and other smaller games like Asphalt 6.
Pros on gaming:
- stunning 2880 * 1800 display. my SC2 and HoN gameplays are speckless. I can see every detail.
- Ultra fast processors
Cons on gaming:
- overheats easily. and it buurrrnnsss when it overheats. i literally cannot put my finger on the ventilation part (above the function keys) for over five seconds cuz it is sooo hot
- need to let it rest for 20 minutes ish at times.
other than that, the MBP retina will run games like Assassin's Creed and Brotherhood with little effort on maximum settings.
but i don't think the retina isn't worth the money. ppl say the retina really bumped up the cost, but I say it should be a couple hundred dollars cheaper. But if I were you I would get the retina - so much more better than the 15". although you don't have a CD drive and the magsafes aren't the same, the retina MBP really is the best.- Answered by Doyoung C from Irvine

So I am looking at getting the MBP in June and I want to use it for light gaming, i.e. battlefield 3 and or crisis 2,or 3.
Hey apple lovers, I am looking to get a MBP this summer but I want to know what I should get. As I said earlier I want to do some light gaming. I really don't think I need the high graphics but I also don't want to get an underpowered system. I am looking at the MBP 13in 2012, with a 500gb hard drive and 8gigs of ram. Think that would be enough? THANKS!!!

New Retina 13'' vs 15" for researcher using programs like Matlab or Stata
Hello to everyone! I need to invest in a new laptop that can match both my needs: portability and performance. I use to bring it with me everythere and so MBPr 13" seems to be better for me. However I'm willing to pay a little bit more (compared to the overall price) and bear a bigger dimension (... I think that the real disadvantage is the size, since it seems to be largest rather than actually heaviest in my opinion) if the 15"s stronger performance is relevant for my requirements. I will use it to work above all on software like Madlab and Stata to perform econometric algorithms; I need to install also windows on it; I want to be sure I won't need to buy a new laptop for the next 5 years. Is the 13" sufficient for me, or buying the 15" I will see the difference in performance?
Thanks for your support!- Asked by Iolanda B
