I've had my MBP for a little over a year now. It used to boot up lightenign quick, to the envy of my Windows friends. Not so much anymore.
What can I do to speed up the boot time on my OS X 10.5 MBP?

I'm considering buying a new MBP w/8GB of ram (dual core 3GHz). I would like to run at least 3 VMs simultaneously (using vmware fusion 3 running W7, arch linux, other) plus snow leopard apps. What kind of performance can I expect?
Would performance be...

I think you'll be fine with a MBP running OS X and VMware Fusion.
As two of the biggest resource usage.

So...I need a new computer and I'm going to be switching over from pc to a mac. I initially had my mind set on the base 15" MBP refresh coming out in a few weeks, and realized that currently, the specs for the 15" MBP and the 21.5" iMac are rather similar...

Unknowns right now.

Always wondered this.
I have a MBP 15" Late 2011, MBP 13" Late 2011, and also MBA 13" 2011.
Can the 85W power adapter from the MBP 15" be used to also power the other 2 machines?
I ask because, my MBP 15" is from work - and when I use it at home several...

Maybe have charger with a 15" MBP and besides it taking almost twice as long to charge, nothing went wrong.
I did it myself countless times between 15" and 17" MBP and 13" MB.
It will be okay.

Hello everyone!
Recently I bought a MBP 15" to replace an old Early 2008 MBP (Nvidia Chipset problem) and I just moved the HD to the new one. The computer is working normally but I do want to have newer programs like iLife and the rest of them that stayed...

Thanks for the reply! I will try to do that as soon as I get back home! .
But datas can be transferred by connecting your old HDD to a external HDD and connecting it via USB or firewire .
ILife should come preinstalled on new MBPs.

Hello guys,
I installed 8GB of ram in my MBP a month ago and I was wondering which OS will give me better performance with those 8GB. Now I have SL installed in my MBP. Would Lion give me better performance? Or shoul I stay with SL?
Thanks

Well, it seems like we know lots about the 2012 MBP all of a sudden. Is it too early to start speculating on the late 2012 CPU bump or the 2013 Haswell MBP?
The most important question is: Will it include a toaster?

I actually have a early 2011 MBP that I got on launch day,And my dad said he will get me a 2013 MBP so I am waiting for it.
But hardware specs can be all over the place until some real data shows up .
