Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to say thank you to all of you who took the
time to try and help me out. I really appreciate all the great
information, and thoughts. It has really helped me to understand things,
when it comes to Macbooks.
Karen asked if I would like to explain my goals. I appreciate this,
because I think that could be helpful. I think it might help me figure
out what exactly I might need.
So my main goal is to be able to purchase a device, such as a Mac, or an
iPad, so that I can record audio. I am huge into collecting audio
described content. We have Spectrum cable. Some of the channels that
carry audio described content that I would like to capture, don't carry
the audio description over my cable box.
However, I can get it, using the Spectrum App.
So I would like to be able to use a program like audio hijack, and
capture the streaming audio. I want to go to the Spectrum site, and
stream the channel I want, and capture the audio description.
That is the main thing I am hoping to do. I could use my windows laptop.
But in order to do this, I would have to go through many steps to make
this happen. Including purchasing a sound card.
But then I would not be able to easily access my laptop for other
things. Such as checking mail, and all the other things that I do.
These are my thoughts. What do you all think?
I would consider purchasing an iPad. I am open to doing this. But when I
had one years ago, the main thing I didn't care for, was how the screen
would sometimes be in colomns. There didn't seem a way to make this
optional. Or stop it from happening. I found this to be rather
frustrating, and chalenging for me.
But also, does the audio hijack program even work on an iPad?
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing what you all might have to say.

Hi Terri,
May I ask how you define doing lots of audio recording?
It seems important here, because you will want the hardware to support
your needs.
The programs you use have their own requirements. If you use
external recording related equipment, that will matter as well.
I hope? this offer comes from a reliable source, so the machine is as
advertised etc.
Do you want to share more on your goals?

Mountain Lion is a really old operating system, and the site says
that there are cracks?
Not sure.
If I were you I would see if there are still older Dell Macbooks around.

Hello everyone,
Sorry, I didn't mean to leave that information out. It states that it
is the latest model. Just that it is refurbished. The model number
is, MC969LL/A.
I hope this helps?
Thank you,
Terri

Subject: Interested in purchasing a Macbook Air
Hello everyone,
My boyfriend found a deal for a refurbished Macbook Air. I am very
interested in purchasing this.
However, I would like to get some opinions on it, if at all possible. I
don't know much about using a Mac. I have always wanted to use one. I
know in some ways they can have limits though.
I would mainly like to be able to do a lot of different audio recording.
I currently use an HP laptop for the majority of things. And probably
still will.
Anyway, this Macbook Air has 4 Gigs of RAM, Intel Core I 5, 1.6 GHZ, 128
GB SSD. It doesn't state what version of the operating system it
comes with.
Does this possibly mean it doesn't include one?
Also, how likely is it that this could be updated, if at some point I
wanted to do this?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri
