New Ipods: which one should i get? (1 Viewer)

[sf_diegoxrock]

Someone's a fanboy.

Haha not quite! My first one died, second one was a gift, which is in the process of dying and I won the shuffle in a raffle.

I wonder if anyone actually has 80GB of music, legally obtained.

>< there's like 80mbs free on my 4gb nano

and there's alot more music i havent put on yet =/

wish it was bigger....or that I had spent a bit more to get the 8gb

80gb classic = 20 4gb nanos
160gb classic = 40 4gb nanos

How much was your 4GB?

I remember my 2nd gen nano was $2xx and it was only 2GB :X

Free lossless audio codec, only sweaty fat nerds who jack off to 12 year olds use it

Even I (self-proclaimed audiophile) didn't know what .flac stood for. Therefore, STFU.

Man, I wish I lived in America. The US Apple store has Macs for significantly cheaper (even after currency conversion), and they come with a free iPod of your choice. I want a free iPod!

Just get it sent over.

I recommend PriceUSA, she's an awesome mail-forwarder.

why not just get an iphone? a phone and a media player in the same device.

i'm really stingy with mobile plans (spend about $15/month) so iphones are waaaayy too expensive for me plus i dont work at the moment (am on youth allowance tho) so not the best time to be splashing around cash.

It is possible; I've heard about people who have extensive CD collections, who rip them and put them onto their iPods.

They were pretty dodgy until 2.1 software came out. Running mine on 2.1 jailbroken 3G iPhone (Also vendor unlocked) and it's an absolute delight. Perfect for note taking, browsing, media, watching movies and of course managing my fucking retardedly large phonebook. Holds up really well, too, getting about 8 hours of call time per charge. As a phone to run your life and a business off, it's a dream.

My Girlfriend's dad has about 400GB of Music ripped from an extensive CD collection.

New question, should I get a MacBook or MacBook Pro? And 1GB memory, or 2GB?

As I said, I'll use my MacBook mostly for school work, organisational programs, and general photos, music and movies.

 

[youBROKEmyLIFE]

Macbook, for you a pro is overkill. Ramp up the memory as OS X loves memory what with being UNIX and all.

EDIT: Just order the base model and install the RAM yourself. Buy the RAM from www.msy.com.au and install it yourself or get a mate to install it for like 1/10th of the cost apple charges for the RAM upgrade.

I advise you to not open the laptop and install new hardware. It's a lot harder than a desktop computer.

I don't really think there is much of a difference if you get the pro or just a normal MacBook, I'd personally get a Pro, but it's up to you.

2GB FTW. The more RAM the better. I'm running on 1, and want to die.

 

[The_highwayman]

get a macbook for the 13.3" form factor.
you'll hate carrying anything bigger to school and/or uni.

andif it's just word processing/occasional movies/etc, you dont need the pro.

Dude, to install new RAM, you pull out the battery, remove one screw, and push the lever to remove the old stick, put in the new stick. Then push the lever on the other, put in the new, replace the screw and replace the battery.

gggggggg

 

[seakebab]

Damn, I thought it was a lot more complex.

gg indeed.

 

[emytaylor164]

it is simple on most laptops.
I got my RAM working with my guitar pick.. I know have a guitar pick lodged in my laptop

 

[aimhigh10]

it is so annoying.

mmmm i have a 4GB and it fits only a little bit
but its from 2006 i think
