And also, considering that you can browse the internet, write up reports, listen to music, and watch movies on it, it's not wholly useless, lol.

I am waiting for EADM to come for mac so I uninstall them from my windows version. edit: it's legit from EA games @.@ not pirated.

Also you are bound to find one bad apple, its hardware we talking here. He doesn't really run a whole heck of a lot of programs while playing FFXI on Windows side, and his game doesn't lag out. It just gets very, very *** hot. I think it's mostly due to lack of ventilation. yeah macs don't really have a lot of ventilation, something I noticed lol
but mine rarely over heats, just when the temp over all is hot on PR. but all my pc's do too =_= Darki what Vinvv is trying to say is that its ironic that you would laugh at someones lack of knowledge when you yourself only recently obtained this knowledge.
It wasn't that you corrected me, but that you said you lol at it.

Not the keyboard, you can only feel it if you lift it and touch it on the lower part. the rest is fine.

Semantics aside, i think he has all the information he could need.
Good job people. go team. awww i didn't mean it that way! :< my bad
Phoenix.Darki said: awww i didn't mean it that way! :< my bad np, i really didn't take it that way. I just don't like snobbery when trying to help someone who professes they know nothing. All is well...huggles! Well im still undecided, but mac seems much more straight forward since i dont have to research tons into what to buy. Will run things for my course better and give me a more quality experience. I just wont probably be able to play ffxiv on it. (very well, since the uk graphics cards seem to be worse?)
If i wasnt getting a mac and i wanted a laptop for my course and ffxiv what would anyone reccommend buying? When i have bought computers in the past, all i hear is "you should have built your own" or stuff like that after i have bought it lol. Also would i need to buy a laptop then buy a graphics card and fit it myself and all that crap? Bumppp, any laptop i could buy that would run ffxiv well straight off without hindering course stuff?
Bootcamp isn't as efficient as running windows natively simply because of driver support. You're going to have issue with a lot of games due to not having the hardware drivers to support it. You can download secondary 'homebrew' drivers but that's touch in its self.
I'd personally buy a PC, cheaper and can do more with less hassle.

I know I'm late to the topic but back when people were talking about heat issues with a MBP I didn't see anyone mention smcFancontrol. I use it to keep my mac cool when when I use OSX and when I boot on to windows (bootcamp) I am able to still use it to keep my computer cool while playing FFXI. PM me if you have any questions about the program and I'll try to help.
