I currently have a Dell Inspiron laptop and am going to be a freshman in high school this year. I mostly need this laptop to go on the internet for research, essays, powerpoints, and maybe notes. Sometimes I will need it for entertainment and I want to know if it has large speakers and great sound. I already know that the laptop does not come with a Cd drive so can I buy one separately on the Apple website? I would like to have advice from someone who currently owns a Macbook Air 128 gb and someone who owns a Macbook Pro 500 gb. Top answer will be chosen between today, June 2,2012 and June 4,2012, Monday. This will be a graduation present.
Answer
That 128GB and 64GB refers to the size of the hard drive, nothing more than that. They are equally good therefore, but one simply has more storage space. As for the choice between a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air is more portable, it is lighter and has a smaller screen. The MacBook Pro is the powerhouse of the two, intended for people who demand more from a notebook. The MacBook Air is for those who want a highly portable notebook. If you need more processing power, a better graphics card, a built in disc drive, then go for the MacBook Pro. If you want a portable notebook which is fast too, but which is more intended to be portable, then go for the MacBook Air. You can always purchase a separate Apple SuperDrive, which is a portable disc drive by Apple.

bootmgr is compressed?
Satish
I tried to use a loader to activate windows 7 ultimate that I got from my friend but at the end of the activation, my screen went blank and had the writing bootmgr is compressed. Press ctrl alt del to restart. When I pressed it, it just came back to the bootmgr is compressed screen again.
I went into the boot options and am now currently trying to restore my backup from my portable hard drive. The screen is blank with some blinking line at the top left side of the screen and it won't let me do anything.
My questions are will this fix the problem, how long does it usually take to restore from a portable hard drive, do I have to take further action, and could anyone please recommend on how to solve this. I have been at it since 10:15pm on 5/2/2012 and it's still doing it (11:15am 5/3/2012).
As you might have guessed, I do not have an installation disk.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Answer
I hope you have a back up of your data...How to reinstall a operating system with out a recovery disk. If you can't find the ones that you made or the ones that came with the computer. I assumed you already tried (and failed) to use the [ recovery partition.] this is the easy way... This means that the next step is to call tech support, and tell them that the recovery partition doesn't work, or you can't find the recovery discs you made... and then they can SELL you a set of recovery discs that you may have to copy to a usb drive.
That's just the way it works. There are two other ways use any other disk and when it is time to activate, call Microsoft on the phone with the activation window open and give them the coa or product code on the phone and they will activate and give you a number at that time.
You need the OEM installation specifically for the same version of the windows that came with your laptop. Otherwise, anything other than an OEM installation of that is the same kind that came with your laptop (Basic, Professional, etc) your product key won't work. Of course, if you choose to go that route, make sure you FIRST download all the drivers for your model laptop... else you might have trouble going on line afterwards to get the drivers.

But then you have to burn iso file to a DVD or usb drive and it is not that easy to do. To get a good accurate answer give the brand, model number, installed operating system of the laptop when asking a question as all PC's are not the same.
