MacBook, iBook | Forum profile

If you're down to 1 bar, it can be difficult to initiate the connection, but if you go closer to the router and start the connection you'll be able to move away and still use the signal in my experience. What kind of encryption scheme are you using? WPA/WPA2 is better in my experience at longer distances than WEP due to the lower network overhead (WEP is horribly insecure as well).

I bought my son a MacBook refurb for Christmas this year and it is here now and I'm comparing the two and I definitely prefer the newer model look

Maybe next cycle, that is if Apple decides to still continue with the whites macs after this. Otherwise, I'll go with the MBPros, with are significantly less attractive in terms of body design. It's weird how people's opinions can differ so much. Would you rather have a slippery shiny...

Please, please, please be sure to ground yourself as well as possible when handling the RAM. Keep one hand on the metal frame of your computer. If the original RAM works, but the Crucial RAM seems to cause problems, contact Crucial and request a replacement. Even the best RAM...
