I figure my 5s is about on par with a new anroid phone, suits my needs except I guess it'd be nice to have apple pay  I actually do really like the smaller size & appreciate the fact that it's a different size and shape from my work issued phone. that would be so confusing lol I look forward to the 7s

It almost worked, but it errored or something and it wouldn't come back up. Had to resort to using the onscreen keyboard to put in my password. which is my other complaint, the on screen keyboard is really bad and you can't use your iphone or ipad as a keyboard for the times you need it. Mercifully, some apps let you login by entering an activation code into a browser, but some want username and password as for like casting or AirPlay though? idk, I didn't try it yet. chromecast soured me on the whole idea of using my phone as a remote. the remote is much better i'd say

so I saw the Steve jobs movie. I thought it was pretty good, albeit sorkiny as hell, but I can tolerate sorkin when he has a director that filters out his worst tendencies. anyway I was curious about a few specific details and I googled how much of the movie was factual and every tech site spergs about how so many facts are wrong and that makes it bad

I spent scores of hours in private conversations with him over those years, and interviewed him numerous times onstage at a tech conference I co-produced. And the Steve Jobs portrayed in Sorkin's film isn't the man I knew. also quote:The movie mangles too many facts to list here. Mr. Jobs' intimates tell me he never held serious conversations with old collaborators and foes in the moments before he took the stage; he was intensely focused on his presentation. just lol

I might be buy the laptop that is either touchscreen or hopefully a Mac but I have to look at the software my wife can use to work it out. she said "if you have two iOS devices you can do it so I will get a MacBook" so I have to work out how accurate that statement is coz the MacBook will be an expensive paperweight as far as running iOS apps goes if I do get a Mac i don't think a pro will be justified to be honest, I'm not rich enough to drop an extra grand for performance wen she's using it coz she doesn't care but between the air and the book, what's the go? pros and cons?

is 128gb enough for osx and windows I have no idea how bloated osx likely is and if half of 128gb is enough for os, word processor and few simulations apps maybe 256 minimum huh

128 is enough for a machine running os x as long as you dont plan to keep your pirated anime collection on there. but windows will quickly eat up half of that space with update files and other bullshit. having windows and osx both on there is asking for trouble

deffo go for 256 if you're dual booting

The core office apps take like a gig along with whatever stuff it installs at random all over the place.

does osx have the same problem as windows where default hibernation and pagefile will take up as much storage as the memory size so you lose like 16gb to page files and another ~16gb to hibernation or around 32gb of total disk space instantly if you have 16gb of ram?

256 even if you don't store tons of stuff. need room to stretch out and relax. OS X takes up like 10gb on its own

Not from what I have seen Got a personal Mac laptop with 256GB SSD, got plenty of space even with two VMs on it

you tell me what's better value for money, it's my wife's compy and she is likely to care about neither how much does one need to compromise on the CPU to get retina? like how "slow"

the macbook has more storage, more ram, an infinitely better screen. that's the one to get. she isn't going to be transcoding video.

there isn't a huge amount in it but the combo of an i5 and non retina screen gives it a buit more power. also has USB slots and w/e and is cheaper but the macbook is smaller and silent and has a much better screen. but costs more. air is more cost effective if that is the biggest factor but just be awarre the air screens are rly showing their age now. best thing wouldk be 2 take her 2 the fruit stand to try them bith

unless thinness and weight are the top, top priority, i'd get this instead of a macbook 2015 just for the larger screen, faster cpu/gpu for lovely sites like youtube and facebook, a traditional usb for all your existing crap and things theyll still sell with usb3 for some time, 256gb ssd, same price point, etc http://www.apple.com/shop/product/FF840LL/A/refurbished-133-inch-macbook-pro-27ghz-dual-core-intel-i5-with-retina-display height: 1.31 cm vs 1.8 cm weight: 0.92 kg vs 1.58 kg if it were 2016 or 2017 i'd probably just say get the macbook, but imo mbp13 better atm
