Is this laptop going to be able to run Xcode 6.0 or 6.1? I really need to know before I buy this item, thank you for your time.

As long as it can run on a core 2 duo and Mavericks you'll be fine. ive ran eclipse on there without a problem.

That is a very good technical question, that I am not sure about. The macbook runs a very outdated so OS so I do not think so.

Is 12 Premium out? Really? Where have I been? So I'm using it on 11.5 with NO ISSUES at all. I'm very pleased. Hope that helps. And now I'm on my way over to Nuance! &lt;wink&gt;

Before replying, may I suggest you get the newer version, CorelDraw X6. Another Amazon vendor is offering the X6 version for just a dollar or two more, which is the product I purchased just last week. You used the term "upgrade." However, nothing I noticed in the product I recently purchased identified it as an upgrade. On the "honor system," you're expected to be a home or student user, thus entitling you to purchase this full X6 version I purchased at a deeply discounted price. You'd also be entitled to making three installations and a license number was provided with the product, too. In other words, it's a full version, not an upgrade version. I installed it without a hitch. By the way, I'm also running Windows 7 Home Premium on an I5-3450 processor. So, as far as I can tell, you'd be perfectly "good to go" buying the X6 version I purchased for about the same price. Good luck with it.

No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.

According to the specs it runs Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6, 10.71 so you should be fine.

Hi M Long,COuld I ask exacetly what you did to upgrade your ram yourself? I know that if we do upgrades ourself and break or damage anything, that could cause the warrenty for the lap top to be void by apple, so I just wanted to make sure I could do it or rather take the right stepthanksKenny

I'm running maya 2013 on mine. So far, I can tell you the biggest drawbacks of using maya on the y510p for me have been the lack of a second screen and the fact that you will basically be required to use a usb mouse since the trackpad won't be able to handle it. But I'm guessing you already know about those. The graphics card holds up pretty well, even while using viewport 2.0, and I've been rendering using Octane which utilizes both GPUs for a pretty solid performance. I haven't done any big renders pushing the CPU, but I imagine it'd work about what you'd expect for an i7. Also, this has been my first laptop with a number pad, and it has made life so much nicer for this type of work. All in all, it's very solid. You could probably find a laptop that could do better in maya, but it would also probably be huge and very expensive. I'm very satisfied with the performance of mine in this regard. Did you have any specific questions?

Hi, I ended up purchasing the Mino and didn't have any problems whatsoever. Basically when I launched the software for the first time the screen asked me what version of OSX I was running and then that was pretty much it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes it should work just great. After you install, run the Apple hardware test (google to find out how) a couple of times to make sure you aren't getting any errors. That will take the better part of an hour for each run. If you pass OK, you should have no problems. If it doesn't pass, pop the modules back out and switch them in the slots and then repeat the tests. I also highly recommend that you be upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks. I used to get some rare kernel panics with this memory under 10.7 Lion, but after upgrading the OS they have disappeared completely. Then, if you haven't done it already, start shopping for a solid state drive. Since I added both to mine (late 2011 MPB) I couldn't wish for a faster more responsive system.

Hi, I was at the Apple Store on Tuesday and the Genius told me that I probably would not get good results with 10.5 Leopard on my iMac 800 G4. It is running at 800 MHz. We are using Tiger and have had no problems other than when we upgraded the RAM. It wouldn't take a gig- so we are at 768. It is 10.4.10 now.

This Macbook has worked well for me, with no issues to speak of. I am running Snow Leopard, so I cannot answer how the newest software will work.

I run Mavericks on ours. Works brilliantly. We have not upgraded it to Yosemite but yes, it will run the new OS. I did upgrade RAM - its pleasantly snappy

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

I am running 10.10.1 (Yosemite) with no problems. I use CS6, Office and a lot of other software, so I had to have that system. By the way, the original info on this machine was that it was maxed with 4gig of ram. However, I have 8gig and that has really helped. I often have 8 to 10 programs open at a time. You can google this machine and ram to see how to do it, if you find it slowing down because of too many programs open.
