• 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

• 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 computer engineering? AIR or PRO

• Should what MacBook Pro I buy?

  Hey everybody,

  If I had a question that is probably pretty common on this site, but what MacBook Pro should I buy?

  I'll start my first semester of College this fall, and while I'm still contemplating Windows machines, I'm almost certain at this point, I would get a MacBook Pro.  Currently, I plan to study computing, so I tell myself that I might need a computer a bit bigger than some for some of my classes.  I know now that I do some light programming (an intro to programming course), and in general, I'm a nice user-oriented.  It's really my only problem with Macs is that the price is really high here.  Don't get me wrong, I've owned an iMac in the past, and they are fine machines, but they are certainly costly compared to Windows machines depending on what you get the material.  In any case, I honestly think I could live with everything in the basic model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2015 model, except for the dual-core processor.  I'd like to drop $2,000 on a 15 inch with a quad-core model, but it is a little more that I want to go, and while I probably could afford it, it would be cut close.  I looked into buying refurbished models and units of other years as 2014, 2013, etc., but it is uneven, at best, and again, the prices are quite high.  In fact, my main question is, programming on a processor dual-core i5 in a MacBook Pro (and other intensive tasks from the computer) would be a comfortable experience?  And not only swift, but other languages like Java as well.  Any help would be appreciated, especially by someone who has been in a similar situation before, or someone who has an intensive experience of programming and other tasks from the computer to the machine in question.

  Thank you!

  Sincerely,

  Aschenputtel

• What Macbook should I buy AutoCAD?

  Hello!

  I just want to ask, what macbook should I buy AutoCAD? I plan to buy the Macbook Air w / core i5 but I saw in some discussions that it is not recommended for autocad... is this true?

  BTW... I am a student in engineering, and I'll use it at school it's why I do not prefer the Macbook Pro because it's big, bulky and heavy. I want the Macbook Air because it's elegant, light and it fits into my bag. And also I need the cheapest possible that's why I prefer really the model of Air. (because I'm just a student and my savings from my job part-time is not big so my budget is tight and only around $ 400-600)

  I need it after this break.

  Thank you! Prospects for a helpful answer.

  I'm not familiar with the application, but I suggest that you contact the school and get recommendations from them for minimum requirements as well as the developer of the software.

  Ciao.

• What type of DVD should I buy to burn my Windows Movie Maker movie? Also, I have Windows DVD Maker, but no DVD burner. What should I buy?

  I created a movie in Movie Maker.  I bought some DVD + r's - the correct burn the movie on?  Also, I don't have a burner, I thought that I did, I can only burn a CD what should I buy?  I don't have a Windows DVD authoring program.

  Hi rondah,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.

  The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.

  As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.

  You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

• Looking to update my RAM 8 GB, what should I buy?

  It is the laptop that I recently bought for me keel while I build a desktop computer in the coming months, my last laptop hard drive and grilled graphics card.

• What should I buy instead of 5737 Inspiron?

  Hello!

  I have worked for a time on Inspiron 5737, i7, full HD, 16 GB RAM, SSD, but couldn't find this laptop or this configuration more.

  It was extermely fast and well designed (love the design in aluminium). New DELLs are more plastic and defective keyboards.

  For example, I have also Inspiron 5547 and the touchpad there is a joke, the pointer is sometimes lag (he jumps and click randomly when the laptop is plugged into the charger), and sometimes the gestures do not work even if they are enabled.

  Unfortunately I can't return it, the seller claims it works flawless, but it's not. I'll try again, because it's hilarious. I have also Inspiron 3737 and it works like a charm with no problems with the touchpad, or any other.

  My questions: what should I buy instead of 5737 (because I can't buy it more)? If not, where can I buy a new 17R 5737 full HD with i7 or i5? Is there another, non-tout-plastic laptop DELL, the successor of 5737? Why this model was cancelled while it was perfect?

  Best regards

  BatSK8

  Thank you for posting. For a 17 "system which is similar to the 5737 I suggest to take a look at the Inspiron 17 5758 , I think they make a better match for you.  Please let me know if you think that the 5758 will be a suitable model for you.

• What can I buy from Cisco?

  I managed three switches Netgear I want to upgrade to cisco switches, if it's possible to switch to faster or higher performance.

  Current switches have the following specifications.

  http://Netgear.com/business/products/switches/fully-managed-switches/next-gen-edge/GSM7252PS.aspx#two

  In my research, I found the CISCO WS - C4948 - 10GE - S 48 10/100/1000 + 2 10GE(X2) 1 switch AC with similar performance, but is it what should I buy? There the Extensible modules?

  Please, advice...

  Thank you

  I don't think the 4948 is a PoE-compatible switch. He'll also be end of sales in the near future (spring 2013 if I remember correctly).

  I would be more direct you to series of 3750 X, see the data sheet here. The 3750 X is stackable. If you do not need to stack switches, 3560 X is also very good for slightly less cost. You can buy software image level according to your needs and add a 10Gbps uplinks (or not) also.

  See the homepage for access switches for a complete presentation.

• What should I buy? .......... Laptop Dell, PC or all-in-1.

  My laptop current is 6 years old and I think it comes to DIE.  I think buying the new system for myself, but I'm still as disturbing as what to buy...

  Should I buy a laptop (but I want to need more than 5 USB slots I have 3 external HDD & Scanner, printers)... I don't want to settle for USB hubs.  Should I buy a PC... but I know PC will disappear soon and also, I don't have a luxury to have the space to store Mini towers, I cannot get desktop LTS.  But I want to add USB3.0, but fear it would work... as SFF does not support have added additional stuff.

  I need to buy everything-in1,... but I don't think not AIO are good, because they are still in the infant stage and in addition, if the screen breaks... the whole system doesn't help... really ugly in revaluations too.

  So... what should I buy, I thought to get the years 620 desktop PC Inspiron, but also to make a Dell laptop instead.

  What are your thoughts.  Thanks for sharing.

  My standard recommendation to all my clients is to "buy your portfolio can stand" - not to skimp or buy the cheapest or lowest model equipped as you will eventually get more or improve.

  If you do not want to make any upgrade or adding then a desktop computer is the only one to consider and a full size desk, not one of the "S" or compact models because they are very limited on the upgrade.  They do not use a standard power supply ATX type then you will be also limited here.  They can only use 'low profile' add on cards, but due to the limitation of power supply, there is also a severe limitation on scalability and upgrade cards.

  Most of the laptops were not the number of desired USB ports.  On the Dell only that maybe that would be the high end Alienware models.

  I don't like any in those or the touch screen or other models.  They are very limited in any update.

  I did not really answer your question, but more food for thought.

• I have photoshop element 11 and does not convert to CMYK. What should I buy to get the printable work?

  I buy photoshop element 11 because it says on the box that we could print yourself or by professional but they the RGB is not good enough for their even if printers I optimizing it. I need to do a lot of design for print. What should I buy then?

  At the time where ever we talk about several projects page, InDesign is what you really need. Illustrator certainly has the edge when it comes to exceptionally sophisticated vector operations, but really, it doesn't support features story layout and several pages in the way that InDesign.

  Note, however, that Illustrator and InDesign are professional graphics programs top of range with fairly steep learning curves.
