Vs MacBook 2015 2016

I get a new MacBook for school next year. I am ordering him to Best Buy. My parents offer to pay $1000 to get a MacBook. I like much the 12 inch MacBook. I was wondering if I should pay the extra $300 for the 2016 or I should just use what they gave me for the 2015 version. Help, please!

You won't find much difference in performance unless for some strange reason, you do CPU intensive tasks that can take advantage of the new features of gen 6 intel or video editing. Even though the beginning of 2016 - have a tone of improvements, each improvement was not all significant compared to what was the beginning of 2015. You are not buying a macbook 12 "to be a beast of power.  Save yourself $300. I have a feeling you won't have game or video editing on this 90% of the time machine. If you are, better review you your decision on buying a macbook 12 "in the first place.

  • New MacBook (12 ", towards 2015/2016) and MATLAB

    Hey everybody,

    does anyone have experience with the new MacBook (2015/2016) and MATLAB?

    I am currently using the MacBook Pro now after 6 years I want to something new, but I'm quite bad if I have to buy Air or the new one (1.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core m7, Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz, 8 GB memory SDRAM 1866 MHz LPDDR3, 512 GB PCIe-based embedded flash storage Intel HD Graphics 515).

    I am a student of neuroscience so I use matlab x times per week as well as spss, otherwise its all the usual stuff (office, senseless surfing the internet, average of much netflix etc.). I will still use my Pro, with a new hard drive, but carrying 2kg of Mac around campus is horrible.

    I regret the new 12 '' MacBook?

    Thank you!

    See you soon

    I use the new Macbook and Igor Pro that is similar in the CPU usage and data processing capabilities. I also have a 15 inch MB Pro, which is a pain to lug around... you will be happy with the new Macbook and don't suffer from the "slower" processor if only using MATLAB.

    One thing to keep in mind is that there are only two hearts, then if you don't have any parallel treatment (whether through Matlab or other calculations) they will be slower. If you do not I recommend the Macbook.

  • My MacBook 2015 12 "retina screen went black, all this experience?

    My MacBook 2015 12 "retina screen went black, all this experience?

    This occurs when you wake up from sleep while opening the screen? I have this problem when trying to open the screensaver macbook, aka black death simply showing the mouse pointer. Genius bar is 2 service attempts to solve this problem; subsequently replaced by macbook brand new. Guess what... it again just two or three weeks later! I think it's an inherent problem with this line of macbook 12 inches early 2015. I'm decided to resume to the genius bar and will ask them to replace it with the new model of 2016.

  • Hello! Someone has some problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function? It does not work on my Mackbook.

    I'm trying to figure if someone has my problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function. The option is checked in the preferences system, but it does not work.

    Thank you

    Hello luigi10m,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Support from Apple. From your post, it looks like your haptic feedback does not work when you click using your trackpad and the setting is enabled. I know that this is a great feature and it is important to make it work. I'll be happy to help you.

    First of all, I would like to assure you that in system preferences > Trackpad > clicking silencer is not checked, that might help. In addition, it would be useful to reset the settings of the SCM. You can find instructions here: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    I'll also include those for you here:

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
    3. Use the built-in keyboard, press shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
    4. All the keys to unlock, then press the power button to turn on your Mac

    Take care!

    My new macbook could only maximum operated from 7 hours fully charged same. Need expert help.

    Have you read the many entries in this thread:

    New MacBook by getting only 5 hours of battery life

    Skimming it I can see that there are a number of frustrated users, while others have no problems. It is fairly typical of a computer problem. There are suggestions on how to reduce battery drain and to monitor the status of the battery. Interesting to read but no promises.

    Good luck

  • Release date: new Macbook Pro 2016

    Is the release date of the new Macbook Pro (2016) announced yet?

    And if so, when it will be released?

    There was no announcement, and if you read the terms of use, these subjects are discouraged on these forums.  We do not know with certainty when Apple made such an announcement.

  • How to connect 12 '' MacBook (2015) to a 24 "or 27" Apple Cinema Display AND fresh!

    I made this post on my site here: https://underground.net/how-to-connect-an-apple-display-to-a-usb-c-macbook/ (which I will update regularly)

    This installation took me a LONG time to understand, but it works very well, no wake mode 'sleep', etc.

    To connect the new MacBook to a 24″ Cinema Display or Apple 27″ LED Display Monitor (who both have a record which is the same as the Thunderbolt connector, but are not actually screens Thunderbolt) you can opt for a really cheap option, as the following point 3.1 AllSmartLife USB Type C adapter Mini DisplayPort Amazon for $ 20 :

    That works very well, but you cannot load your computer when you are connected to the screen, nor can you plug something else on your computer as an external hard drive, etc.

    To be able to recharge your computer AND connect to the screen AND connect other devices to your MacBook, you need the following configuration, and it works great, btw.

    1 first download this USB-C for USB multi-port, Belinda® USB-C for 3 ports USB 3.0 , which is about $ 36 on Amazon.

    2 then, you need an expensive element, StarTech.com USB 3.0 to DisplayPort 2560 x 1600 video card Multi monitor external adapter (USB32DPPRO), which is around $74 on Amazon:

    3 Finally you need a cheap item, the Cable questions DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort male to female adapter at $ 9 on Amazon:

    Plug all the in such things and he ends up you look pretty clean where it connects to the computer, as you can see below and you can plug in the USB port of the screen on the hub and use the speakers on the screen, AND you still an available for a hard drive, external USB 3.0 port.

    It will cost you around $119! Wow, that's a LOT, but it works. Or you can go cheap and just get the first card for $20 but charge your MacBook by disconnecting from time to time to plug in the charger. What a PAIN in the * Apple.

    The new MacBooks coming will be equipped with a combined USB/Thunderbolt-c plug that should * hope * connect a screen and charge at the same time cheaper, but who knows?

    If you want me to your post something, I can put it on the MacBook 2015 using forum boards.

  • Power MacBook from 2016 for Windows virtual machines?

    Hello

    Can anyone with real experience let me know if Spring 2016 up-to-date as MacBook have the ability to run VMware Fusion and a 2 or 4 GB Windows 7 or 10 VMS?

    My local Apple store have answers that are different with none of them being honest users of VMware Fusion or IT pros understand my needs to run heavy client VMware and other Windows applications not too demanding.

    As a point of reference, my i7 '2011 mi' Air is sufficient. It looks like a new MacBook a faster memory and storage but perhaps not the power of the older i7.

    I don't want to waste time and to return a product if it does not work well so all ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I have the new base model 2016; I got the base model 2015 too, and Windows 10 was OK under VMware.

    It depends on what you want to do with your virtual machine.

    However, if I were you, I prefer a 'real' basic PC, powered with Teamviewer. It's really easier, this save your battery and life SSD.

  • Connection of the Macbook Pro 2016 to 2 cinema screens

    As the title says, I have a Macbook Pro (model 2016) and 2 cinema screens. My understanding is that while the Thunderbolt screens have an option of Garland, movie screens are not.

  • Uninstall iTunes from my macbook 2015 pro forever

    I would like to uninstall iTunes on my macbook pro 2015 and there is not installed for the rest of my life or that of my computer, apply.  However, given that iTunes is a apparently a virus, it continues to display upward no matter what I do.  Suggestions?  I would have preferred the comments involving the removal of this software from my computer, rather than the kind telling me what a fool I am not love iTunes.  Thanks in advance.

    iTunes is now considered to be part of the operating system of the computer and in this respect is considered (by Apple) key to the operation of the computer as the code to draw the image on your monitor.  This is just to tell you that it's not like 10 years ago, when iTunes was an optional installation.  It's kind like ask Ford to you make a car without a radio.  I am not questioning your reason for wanting to remove it, but if you let us know what you hope to achieve this doing, we may be able to make suggestions. You won't save a lot of disk space.  If it exasperates you by the presence of a music file opens automatically with iTunes when you click on it there are easy ways to prevent this.

    I use the Mavericks. I have not deleted iTunes, but I prefer iTunes 7.5. I copied the app from my old computer to this one and compressed the 11.4 that the installer had put on this computer. So far no problem.  Realize, however, the software updates seem to come in large packages these days, so even if you delete iTunes it can reappear as part of an update software General do you in the future.  I disabled automatic software updates and try to analyze the content of each of them before as I do, but it is becoming harder and harder to find those who are the true component system updates and those who are what I consider more general software such as iTunes or Safari.  In this regard, you can not reach your desire for ever unless you remove once and never in your life update your software.
