OSX Lion & Aperture 3

when i got my new Macbook Air last month, I also got one of those $100 gift certs which i used today to upgrade my 2010 Macbook Pro to OSX Lion... used the leftover to buy Aperture 3, installed it on all of my Macs

Don't the new 2011 macs use faster ram than the models before it? If your old macbook pro was a 2011 model then this post is pointless.

yeah but it is compatible and why waste ram in my opinion

ljones answers this question. Could have just used ram I had instead of buying a new set for $50.


ahhh, so they are WD studio II (current version out then)? i'm a big fan of the Blue Lights + aluminum casing.

Yeah it is the WD studio II, but I don't believe it is the latest out. The latest out won't let you do Raid config. These are still being sold though. Although I would beware...I think this model is on its way out since they haven't updated the software since 2009. The case is plastic and the lights are white. I do like the lights though how they should activity and capacity as well.

Whats up with all the storage :p. Also didn't know you wrote for gadgetmac also :)

Been low on space since I transfered the majority of my data from hard copy to digital. Also have an enormous music and tv library and I consider myself a data hog.


Last purchase - sold off a couple imac keyboards and a mouse to bring my total for the 2011 imac I bought to $700. If I sell my last magic mouse, the total will be $650.

Sold my 5-month old Air this morning so I could get my backlit keyboard back! :D. Extra speed + thunderbolt doesn't hurt either. Total cost to upgrade will end up being around $100

May I ask where you sold it and for how much?

I wanted to sell mine but I think the most I could get out of my late-2010 11" 1.6/4GB/128GB is about $1000. I looked at prices on amazon, ebay, and craigslist for used MBA with my same specs.

I bought it in January 2011 for about $1400, it's hard for me to take a $400 loss for only 7 months of use.

upgrading my internal drive to a 750 gig 7200 rpm drive. Hopefully this'll speed up my machine a touch.

Craigslist ;). A little over $1000. I'm also taking into acct the $100 gift card, free printer that I'll be selling, and $50 off for student discount.

Don't think of how little you get compared to what you paid, think of the replacement cost less the $$ you make off the sale ;). WORTH IT!

New pair of shoes ordered from Famous Footwear. Should be here in the next couple days. Will post a photo...

What is the goal of posting simply just to say "Will post a photo later" or "Coming soon"? Either you have a picture of your last purchase or you don't. Sorry to be rude but I find it silly.

Agreed. People forget that this is a "Picture" gallery.

Score! That's a good upgrade price I say.

that's awesome..

thoughts on whether or not I could flip a 2010 13" MBP around this time?

(Reason i ask is that I read about people doing this all the time; however, I have no experience doing so..)

any info/tips would be appreciated - thanks!
