• What Macbook Pro to buy?

  I'm looking to get a macbook pro, but don't know whether to get the 13 "or 15"?

  Go to the store and try them both. Choose the one that suits you best. The 13 "is more portable, 15" has more screen real estate. You should know what you're going to use the computer for before, you can decide who will meet your needs.

• Should what macbook I buy?

  I think to buy a macbook pro (currently on windows), but the problem is that I don't know which.

  I need for the University (programs such as visual studio, microsoft word/powerpoint/excel... and others) and daily use (web, watching videos, listening to music...).

  First of all, I have a few questions about the mac in general:

  1 - in my University computers are running windows 8/10, so it would cause me problems when you transfer files from my mac to windows, and vice versa?

  2 - the files that run on windows would stop work on mac, and vice versa?

  3-can I use the same USB for mac and windows or it is formatted with an operating system at the same time?

  4 - install windows on my mac make it slower, or trolling?

  Now, on the mac:

  I hesitate between the 13 "and 15" macbook pro

  For the use that I mentioned earlier, that one is the most suitable for me?

  If the 13 ", should which model I buy? Same question for the 15 ".

  4-do I need a dedicated graphics card (model the more expensive 15 ")?

  5-do I need more than 8 GB of RAM?

  6. specifically, what exactly are the specifications I need (RAM and especially the i5/i7 processor and GHz)?

  And my last question is: should I wait for the new macbook pro being released (rumor one with a bar of OLED) so that the current model gets cheaper?

  Bonus question: honestly, do I really need a MacBook or any windows computer would be great for me?

  If you could answer my questions, I would really appreciate it, it would be much clearer for me

  1 in my University computers are running windows 8/10, so it would cause me problems when you transfer files from my mac to windows, and vice versa?

  File transfer should cause no problems for most of the cases (USB, more on this later, transfer by Internet, Dropbox, mail) implementation on the network to share files takes a little effort, however, is possible.

  2 - files that run on windows will stop working on mac, and vice versa? (I need to perform an operation before the file transfer?)

  Not really. For example, if you get MS Office on mac, it will work when you send it to a windows machine and vice versa, but if you are using Apple pages, microsoft cannot read .pages files while mac may lire.doc/.docx and if you convert .pages in .doc/.docx, sometimes the elements on the page will be move due on mac features that are not on windows or vice versa. As well as the fonts are different.

  3-can I use the same USB for mac and windows or it is formatted with an operating system at the same time?

  You can format for both, but with limitations, for example, if you want to use Apple's Time Machine (I recommend that you do), the player must be in a specific format, which is be the one who does not read windows.

  4-installed windows on my mac makeup it's slower, or lag?

  Not really, unless you are low on storage. I strongly suggest to do a mac with storage capacity more if you want to run two operating systems strongly. In addition, if you do not use bootcamp to Apple to achieve this goal, and use third-party virtual machines parts then Yes, it will (then), because you're running two OS at the same time, but not as long as Windows is not active.

  Now, on the mac:

  I hesitate between the 13 "and 15" macbook pro

  For the use that I mentioned earlier, that one is the most suitable for me?

  The main thing that differentiates the two are just the size of the screen, unless you want a graphics card dedicated, more on that later. Don't forget, the laptop should ideally keep in your handbag etc and go into an Apple store to see if you are more comfortable wear around the 13' or 15'. The weight is also a factor to consider.

  If the 13 ", should which model I buy? Same question for the 15 "

  It is up to you, and what is the weight of your work will be. In fact, if you are only going to make presentations, word and excel. Even a MacBook Air would suffice.

  4-do I need a dedicated graphics card (model the more expensive 15 ")?

  Will you do anything intensive graphics? CGI, rendering, CAD/CAM, etc. The graphics card is mainly for that... and the games.

  5-do I need more than 8 GB of RAM?

  Once more, depends on how much weighs your workload, your specifications are quite vague and appear to be light, so 8 GB should be enough.

  6. specifically, what exactly are the specifications I need (especially the i5/i7 processor and GHz)? (if you answer question 6 do not 4-5)

  In addition, depends on how strongly you plan to use the device.

  And my last question is: should I wait for the new macbook pro being released (rumor one with a bar of OLED) so that the current model gets cheaper?

  We are not allowed to speculate on future devices on this Web page because it is in violation of the terms of use.

  Bonus question: honestly, do I really need a MacBook or any windows computer would be great for me?

  If you could answer my questions, I would really appreciate it, it would be much clearer for me.

  In general, Apple provides a better tied together interface, this is useful if you already have several Apple devices as they will be able to interact more effectively with others. The requirements that you said are very simple, and in fact, any device would suffice. However, if you get a MacBook, you can have peace of mind knowing that you might be less susceptible to virus attacks and other similar issues. You never 'need' anything in particular, it is always what you want. And it's up to you.

  I hope this helps.

• Should what macbook I buy for ios development?

  I'm a software developer want to learn ios for this development, I want to buy a macbook. But I'm in great confusion what macbook should I buy, I was thinking of buying the Macbook Air 13 inch 2015 model with core i5-1.6 ghz, 4 GB of ram and 128 GB of storage. I would like to ask all ios developers there is this configuration will be good for me because I am with money for macbook pro, so please help me guys. Thank you

  I'm not a developer, but I know you're going to need a macbook pro. It's too slow a processor to do what you are wanting to do wayyyyyyyyyyyyy. 1.6 ghz is for normal tasks such as navigation. You certainly need to do a few upgrades to the Air of Macbook 13 inch if you are wanting to do the development. I suggest strongly a faster processor and at least 8 GB of RAM. You will want to get a Macbook you will have more work, because it will have a much shorter life if abuse you it, that is why I suggest the Pro. Have you checked the refurbished Macbook Pro? I think you could find one close to your price range! If this isn't the case, except a little bit of money, it is not too hard!

  Here is a link to the refurbished macbook pro (these go all the same tests as the new mac Cross and have the same guarantee)

  http://www.Apple.com/Shop/Browse/home/specialdeals/Mac/Macbook_pro/13

  There is one that I see for $1 099,00 with the 8 GB of RAM (you save $200 normal price), is only $100 more than the macbook air you're wanting. Totally worth buying the macbook pro and then

• What MacBook Pro is better for my situation?

  Hello, guys.

  Could you please help me decide which MacBook Pro is the best for my situation?

  Currently, I chose between these models:

  • MacBook Pro 15 "2.2 GHz / RAM 16 / 256 GB of storage / Iris Pro
  • MacBook Pro 15 "(2.8) of 2.5 GHz / RAM 16 / 256 GB of storage / Iris Pro"
  • MacBook Pro 15 "2.5 GHz / RAM 16 / 512 GB of storage / AMD Radeon R9 M370X (2 GB)

  I'll use the laptop for:

  • Webdesign. I work in Photoshop all day and it was sometimes messy (major projects, many of those open simultaneously, etc..). Theoretically, I would like for my laptop to be able to handle perfectly Photoshop, Illustrator and inDesign workflow, maybe even at the same time. Of course, all will be loaded up for the most part, but it should be imperceptible to work on projects of large size in Photoshop runs alone.
  • Audio engineering. Recording/mixing/mastering audio as a hobby, which may require use of the processor 4 do. My current laptop (2.3 GHz Dual Core Intel i5 - 2410 M) cannot manage even the basics of what I need for comfort work with audio. Usually it is around 10-15 tracks, stock and third-party plugins sometimes. I omit the part that the new laptop should have completely no problems with recording audio through audio interface (no cracks, dents, noises and other things caused by lack of CPU and RAM). I guess that each of these three Mac is capable of a fluent audio recording, the question arises on the comfortable audio processing in the future.
  • Navigation. I know that sounds ridiculous, but there are times that my laptop current can't live through an intense session of navigation. About 20-25 tabs with mixed content (text for most, a couple of video opened online). I use Google Chrome, which is quite noticeable on the CPU, but it's my personal preference in terms of browser.
  • Web development. I would like to be able to make everything about web development fast and easy. That shouldn't be the problem, since even my laptop current meets my needs developing. Just let it be worth mentioning.

  Given the above information, I can make a conclusion that I need:

  • Retina display, press each tiny pixel on the screen of work related to graphic design
  • Reasonably fast CPU and RAM

  Initially, the more powerful MacBook Pro (with default 2.5 GHz and AMD video card) seemed like a logical option. However, after reading about the AMD video card I noticed that it is still lower than the average of those on the market (judging on the benchmark). Therefore, it seems that there is no reason to pay more for just a video card, comparing to the stack by default a cheaper model (the 15 "MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz/256 GB of storage). 0.3 GHz of processor is imperceptible, and the lack of hard disk space may be justified by external USB storage or by configuring the cheaper model for more storage by itself. The main difference is the video card. Please, correct me if I'm wrong on this conclusions.

  Therefore, I came to decide what configuration is best with regard to the less expensive version of the MacBook Pro 15 ", the 2.2 GHz (default) or 2.5/2.8 GHz (configured). Consider the following:

  • I'm dependent on a budget; slice of 100 dollars, in fact, issue
  • My priority is a seamless workflow without any freeze for 5 minutes and loading/closing time take up to 10 minutes, as it does now
  • It is not important if a graphic/audio project takes longer to make, but it is important to work freely during production
  • I don't mind having an external USB storage, as long as he has a decent read/write speed (external USB flash are available for Macs, right?)
  • Design or audio are not my original recipes, rather a freelance opportunities or leisure

  I'd be really grateful if you could answer some of these questions and help me decide:

  • If I had to choose between 2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz boost or 256 GB of storage on 512 GB, which is more reasonable storage boost?
  • Is there a really significant difference in the performance of the tasks that have been mentioned between 2.2 GHz and 2.5 GHz/2.8 GHz?
  • No AMD video card makes a huge difference in terms of working with graphics? (Of course, he does, but it would be nice to take a look at the difference in the form of a chart or a reference; if it is not dramatic, then pay more for the video card makes no sense for me)
  • Then Iris Pro (which comes with 2.2 GHz cheaper option) handle some minor games like World of Warcraft or Diablo 3? Not necessary on ultra or high settings, but on those that make the game playable and enjoyable. (Is not necessary, but it would have been a considerable advantage, because even though I'm not a hardcore gamer, it's nice to play some old games favorite from time to time)

  Thanks for your opinions and suggestions!

  If you select I would recommend 512 GB drive. Media projects can become very large, and I suspect that you also like to have pictures of the reserve, textures, etc available all the time. I'm not a professional graphic designer, but I create brochures and documents as well as videos of 15-20 minutes and on a 256 GB drive I will decide on a project, move everything turned off, and then start a new project. Sometimes, when I had several projects going at the same time I had to decide which awkward solution was the best.

  Video Intel Iris Pro is better than I expected and I can play Diablo 3 on my MBP to 2015 on higher than smaller settings. I always use CS 5.5 because I refuse to rent my graphics software, so I don't know the State of the current Adobe software but I know that some users are griping on the 3D graphics and lower end GPU processors. I suggest you check out the Adobe forums.

• Can I upgrade my current MacBook Pro or buy a new one?

  Model	MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010
  Processor	2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  RAM	4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
  Storage	HARD DRIVE 250 GB
  OS X	10.10.5 Yosemite

  Hi, I have looked at upgrading my current laptop with some much needed performance boosters, but do not know if in the long run it is worth, or if I should save up for a newer model.

  The updates that I think first to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD 250 GB and secondly to replace my 4 GB of ram and 16 GB. (Officially, State Apple this machine does support 8GB, but it's been verified since it can take up to 16 GB).

  While I know that these two updates should improve the speed and performance of my pretty spectacular machine, roughy wonder how many years my phone will be usable for after the upgrade. The limiting factor main seems to be my processor, which I am aware might be an obstacle in the future. I understand that apple tend to make updates each new OS X only available for latest machines, and I fear that soon, they will be unavailable for Core 2 Duo models. Can anyone confirm this?

  So, I guess my question is, how to limit will be my processor to the duration of life/performance of my mac if I perform the above upgrades?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

  It depends on.

  If you use a lot, I recommend to get a new MacBook. If you use too many, your MacBook Pro will be fine.

• What MacBook Pro to get?

  I'll trade my Sony Vaio Fit 2011 (touchscreen, windows 10, 12 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, third generation i7) to a MacBook Pro, and I had two choices. A MacBook Pro from early 2013 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD or a MacBook Pro of end of 2013 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD. Which one do you recommend me to get? It will be my first Mac and I'm a little excited, I study electrical engineering and I need to use simulation of circuit and planning programs to install 10 Windows with Boot Camp. Just have a few days to decide. Thank you very much.

  No doubt the beginning 2013 with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD.

  You don't want anything less than 8 GB of RAM.   The RAM is the only selling point, you will not be able to upgrade.

  The storage can be user upgraded to this model of the retina, but will break your warranty 1 year.

• Should what audio interface I buy for hearing CC?

  Hello

  I read a lot of these discussions, and you all seem very knowledgeable and willing to help noobs like me. I'm sure that you are tired of this issue because of the multitude of variables, but I'm looking to purchase an audio interface and I was wondering if you could offer some suggestions based on my needs, I'll try to describe in detail below.

  I just bought a Windows laptop, 10, with three USB 3.0 ports. I have Adobe Audition CC 2015 running on this issue, with errors [does not] does not happen when I click accidentally behind the multitrack to change the display too fast, or when I'm not wise in my use of the FX. What I can say, I'm learning!

  I intend to use Reaper to program the MIDI via USB cable directly tracks from a Roland TD11 and a Korg Triton Extreme to the laptop. I will then restore these files to WAVs in uncompressed and export it to the hearing.

  My typical workflow is solo titles layers, so I prefer to use the minimum amount of the strings and just spent the instruments, due to lack of space. I would like the ability to record at least 2 instruments at the same time however, in the case where the musicians invited stop. I don't plan to record live bands.

  These are the instruments that I use:

  -e-battery (it's possible I'll lines of audio recording in addition to MIDI tracks described above)

  -keyboard (same as e-battery, almost certainly will use as input line audio and MIDI)
  -Acoustic/electric guitar (I'll save variously in line or miked depending on what sounds better)
  -Acoustic/electric bass (line in most of the time, I guess)
  -lap steel guitar (line)
  -banjo, ukulele (mic)
  -singing (mic)
  -various percussion (mic) hand

  
  The only possible output I think I would need to interface is for helmets; I've lined up out of the laptop to a pair of speakers to test mixtures.

  In research on the interfaces, I stumbled on the MOTU UltraLite-mk3, which seems to take the load on the processor. Do you think it would be a good option?
  In fact I don't understand why you would need the 6 outputs however. They are all for monitors? I'm not clear on the difference between the level of the line, instrument, Hi-Z and these combined inch jacks XLR/quarter.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my it is true that the application of quicksand! I appreciate your expertise and advice that you care to offer.

  Best regards
  Sarah

  MOTU make excellent interfaces, as do other companies mentioned by SuiteSpot.

  The extra thought only I can offer is having only 2 microphone inputs would be a bare minimum and could become a limiting factor, if one of your guests musicians drop - you can, for example, records things like an acoustic stereo while something is happening.  I would consider putting additional money going MOTU would cost in an interface with 4 + mic.  Yet once, there is a certain choice.

  Or, for a direction totally different, since your goal is to have as many things as possible plugged in and ready to go, I heard yesterday on the new console Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK (Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK ) which would keep things hip as well set up headphone mixes and monitor mixes easy.

• Purchase of a MacBook Pro

  Hi all! Well, I have a little trouble deciding what Macbook Pro to buy. I want to stay with one of the models 13 inches (I'm going to be traveling very often and with a monitor in my office space). I need to be able to open multiple programs at the same time. I'm not a hardcore gamer. But a simple games like Minecraft and a driving/cockpit simulators. Other than that, I would like a computer that can perform daily and then some. Also, I'm simply tired of PC die on me every year or two. Also, is a disc hard 128 GB big enough for me? I store about 32-64 GB of photos and videos on my current PC. I have used only 200 GB of my current 750 GB hard drive. As far as the processors go, I need a super-fast processor? I'll finish the questions here. Thank you for reading and I look forward to excellent answers as usual! Thanks again.

  If you are currently using 200 GB, 128 GB is not enough. MacBook Pro 13 "are not good games machines.

  Only you know how much space you'll need storage, but the 128 GB is small and too small for much of anything, except the reading e-mail and do surf. If you want any game to get a more powerful 15 "MBP. The MBP 15 "can be so transferred.

  How long should my MacBook Pro 15 '' (2015) battery last? " Im getting about a little less than 5 hours and the normal battery status. I turned off Bluetooth and set it automatically adjusts the brightness. Shouldn't I be living out my battery?

  It depends on what you are doing. If you write just a text document, 5 hours is too short. If you navigate all the time and visit the Web site with a lot of Flash or video content, it is good enough.

• MacBook Air and Macbook Pro for a country with a moderate speed internet

  Hello.

  Please can anyone provide me suggestions on what kind of Macbook (preferably between the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro) to buy? I will be moving to Nigeria and will love a stylish laptop that I can use when there is a poor network.

  Thank you.

  The two manage networks in the same way... slow food makes slow refresh, fast food done fast refresh.

  My concern would be supported in Nigeria.  New units of the retina are sealed and cannot be repaired easily, and if you perform self-service you cancel the warranty Apple Stores years FSAA (Apple authorized service providers) are your best source of support.

  Keep several good backups in case of failure, as although Macs are reliable, the bad parts pass through.  There are also thieves in all regions of the world who love bright shiny Macs.
