A list of the impossibilities

Believe me, he's no troll, he's been talking about getting a macbook to me personally for weeks now. I was the one who suggested he ask questions in the Apple forum, because even though I'm capable of using both OS's, I figured you guys who use it more often than I would be more helpful (you guys certainly were )

Not everyone's a "troll" trying to attack, some people have innocent questions and want to make sure something different will work for them.

 

You're a flamer yourself to keep on flaming me just cause there is some truth in my thread that you do not like to be seen by the public? or is there any other reason for you to keep on flaming me?

All I wanted to know was if I should keep the Macbook Pro 15 in my consider list or not cause I am looking for a new notebook and I want my choice to be serious and not regret that I have chosen the notebook after choosing it but now I have reached to my conclusion cause of all the help I got from the people that posted on the thread

Thanks to everyone in the post that helped except for you that kept on flaming me and being useless

 

Based on my limited experience with video editing I disagree with the latter point.

I have a Sony camcorder that records directly to mini DVD in MPEG-2 (2.1 AC3 Audio) and according to Sony the camcorder is Windows-only compatible.

For fun I connected it one day to my iMac and lo and behold, iMovie launched and captured the video seamlessly and allowed me to do a whole bunch of stuff including various final export options that I couldn't do even with the bundled Sony software.

Not bad for a Windows-Only camcorder. It even required 3 pieces of software to get the thing to work in Windows (USB driver, transport/transfer software and a Sony editing package specifically to work/decode the AC3 audio tracks - Sony bundled all three software packages with the Camcorder). None of these were needed on the Mac. I contacted Sony to tell them this, I mean after all this camcorder isn't even supposed to work in OSX let alone work significantly better, but I never got a reply.

 

It is interesting to see how criticism of the brand is acceptable in the HP, Dell, and Lenovo forums. But the Apple forum has different standards.

I just realized I need my own USB hub. Connecting a camcorder, external harddrive, external mouse and a bluetooth adapter to a laptop just now. Something has got to give.....

 

Ye, it's very confusing and disturbing

 

There are good ways to ask questions and get opinions from people, and there are bad ways. Asking for all of the things a product CAN'T do, right away starts off with a negative connotation. It makes far more sense to say "This is what I need from a laptop" and then see if whatever you're considering can fulfill those needs rather than right away focusing on everything a product can't do. Backwards thinking IMO.

Had you explained what you are looking to get out of a laptop at the beginning, this thread would have garnered more useful information. It's hard for people to answer questions when they really aren't sure what the question is. You came across as a troll looking to slag Apple, can you not see that?

If you can't stand the heat, better stay out of the kitchen.

 

I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Personally I don't have a brand of preference, it's just whatever that I find that is well-built, easy to use and suits my usage that would fit my bill. It just so happened that the unibody Macbook Pro fit that requirement, I was a previous PC owner, with HPs, Toshiba, Dell, Asus notebooks that I've used in the past, and during those times were considered as mid-highend range in Notebooks.

It could be easily said that a lot of the criticism is based on the stereotypes of non-Apple owners reacting due to the need to justify their purchase versus their personal computer, whether it's performance, price or cosmetic reasons in which Apple owners are sick of acting towards and that kind of hostility or bias.

That said, I'm a relatively new Apple user with extensive PC based experience with little or no bias towards Apple, although I do like their systems (but not of late).

 

Agreed! I found it somewhat ignorant, arrogant and did not really serve a real purpose for this forum. I really had no idea that OP was looking at considering a Apple Notebook, and sounded more as if the OP did not like Apple for the reasons above.. Period.

 

I wanted to know what would be the things that my Mac would lack after I buy it and made the thread and asked what would be impossible to have on my Mac and I did and it happened

If you have an extreme sensitivity problem then I think you should see a Psychiatrist or something

The question was simple: What will be impossible on my Mac?

If that's not simple for you then I don't know what would be

Unfortunately, I am in a forum not in the kitchen
