What is the difference in processors for Macbook Air?

I currently have a 2012 13-inch Macbook Pro. Its processor is 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

I'm looking to get a new laptop, something more light, so I was watching the macbook air.

What is the difference between getting 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 2.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7? Other than the extra to upgrade $170. It is worth to pay that? I'm a student, so not really rolling in money.

I'll just use it for the usual, surf the web for research and social media, spotify, itunes library, large library, some photo editing, imessage. I feel that that's what most people are doing, then what is the best for the average man?

In addition, what is the significance in storage? I'm not sure what my mac pro has, but is it worth it to upgrade to the flash 512 GB PCle - based, storage or I couldn't stick with the 256 GB?

Account of your not doing much with your mac in addition to what is its main purpose, I recommend save money for a processor and possibly buy more RAM (Random Access Memory) it helps with multitasking like surfing on the web.

It also depends on the amount of memory you want. If your photos are of high quality and there are many, improved storage isn't bad.

    And if you have time how map/graphic power supply would work well?

    Sorry if it was too much trouble.

    Thank you very much. :)

    As a general rule, her upgrade CPU what whether it is compatible with the motherboard will NOT give you a lot of performance. The GT 620 is a low range GPU and there are a lot more mature. Check the video card review sites for options. You will also receive additional RAM if it is not already overexploited, usually more than a costly upgrade of CPU.

  • whisch are OK for undo_retention and what is the difference

    Hi all

    whisch are OK for undo_retention and what is the difference


    SQL > select max (maxquerylen) of v$ undostat;

    MAX (MAXQUERYLEN)
    ----------------
    6060

    SQL > select max (maxquerylen) in the dba_hist_undostat;

    MAX (MAXQUERYLEN)
    ----------------
    17221

    Hi amal.

    You can use begin_time & end_time v$ undostat-> to specify the time interval that you want.

    A brief note, of what you discussed here:

    maxquerylen

    Identifies the length of the longest request (in seconds) in the Forum during the period. You can use this statistic to estimate the right setting of UNDO_RETENTION initialization parameter. The length of a query is measured between the open time of cursor for the last time to fetch/execution of the cursor. As the length of these cursors that have been read/performed during the period are reflected in the view.

    V$ UNDOSTAT is dynamic, display of the current statistics.

    DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT displays the history of the histograms of statistical data to show how the system works. Available statistics include undo space consumption, simultaneity of the transaction and the length of queries in the instance. This view contains snapshots of V$ UNDOSTAT

    hope that helps.

    Kind regards

    Each file type is in a different format.  The formats are different
    essentially for two reasons:

    1. the files contain any other type of information. For
    example, an mp3 file contains a music and a xls file contains a
    worksheet. The music and spreadsheets are very different things and one
    a unique type of guy would not work for both.

    2. There is also the example of the types of files that are very different, even
    Although basically they both contain the same type of data. For example,.
    a doc file is a file created by Microsoft Word processor (or
    some compatible programs) and a wpd file is a text file
    created by WordPerfect. This is because Word and WordPerfect are two
    very different programs, with very different characteristics. Designers
    and authors of each of the programs designed for a type of file that would be
    works very well with their program.

  • dv7t-2000: upgrade of the motherboard and processor for dv7t-2000

    I currently have a dv7t-2000 with [email protected] and ATI mobility Radeon HD 4530 discrete graphics with 512 MB dedicated memory.

    I want to upgrade the processor and the motherboard to improve its performance and its Windows experience index (lowest value is the graphics card with destop performance for windows aero).

    My question is

    (1) are the best processors listed in the manual dv7t as Intel Core 2 Duo T9800 2.93 GHz parts 507951-001 and other compatible.

    (2) can I replace the current Board system with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 discrete graphics with 1 GB dedicated memory?  What is the difference between parts # 516294-001 516293-001 against?  The two identical descriptions a.

    Is it useful to upgrade (i.e. it would improve windows performance index)?

    Is it easy to replace the motherboard?  All the specialty tools?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The dv7 series is a challenge even for experienced laptop technicians. There are several boards of sup and ribbon cables going in all directions. The T9800 will agree and will work on any one of the motherboards in the manual that you apparently (let me know if not) and will greatly increase the WEI on the processor. She is always equivalent to most of the i3 processors.  The HD 4650 is going to be a pretty big improvement on the HD 4530. But that's like saying I'd rather have a 1964 Chevrolet as a 1953 Chevrolet... nor is technologically current as for video cards go. Current demanding games will exceed the 4650's powers.

    http://gpuboss.com/GPUs/Mobility-Radeon-HD-4650-vs-Mobility-Radeon-HD-4530

    I checked partsurfer for two motherboards that you list and I checked the manual. There is widespread confusion. PartSurfer lists the jury 294 as a "UMA" or integrated graphics subsystem, and lists the 293 Commission that the use of dual core AMD processors. Something is not good and frankly I would waive the exchange of motherboard, but if you really want to try let me know and I'll try to clear up the confusion.

    A T9800 is about $35.
