Steve-C Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Figured I would update this thread for the benefit of those who are research junkies like me when it comes to computers. I bought a 15" Macbook Pro recently and many of the issues I had before are no longer a problem. pdf file sizes are larger than my Windows machine but only by maybe 25% to 50% which is nothing compared to the 5 to 10 times larger it used to be. Still not a fan of the color wheel selector vs. the Windows grid color selector but I can live with it. One thing I've noticed with the Mac is the cursor seems a little shaky, nothing major but it's just not as smooth as it is on Windows. I really wanted a Windows laptop that was a decent screen size and portable but after getting an Asus Zenbook Pro that had fans running non-stop and an ultra light dual core unit that lacked power, I decided to pull the trigger on the Macbook. Still a bigger fan of the Windows interface but it's hard to deny what Apple can do in the world of lightweight laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I have been using Apple products since the original iPhone came out and I purchased a Mac Pro shortly thereafter (2008) followed by a MacBook Air when they were released. Even though my Mac Pro is 8 years old it runs Chief just fine. I upgraded my video card to an nVidia GTX250 about four years ago and just recently added more Ram (I now have 10MB). I just love the way all my Apple products play nice with each other and I have an older USB2 DROBO that I use for Time Machine. The DROBO is great as it has 4 hot swappable hard drives and if one fails you just replace it and nothing is lost as it duplicates storage over several drives. I recently purchased a laptop PC as I like to play games and my GTX250 is not up to the task (in Boot Camp) and there are no more upgrades available but would never go back to a Windows machine. Just my 2 cents worth. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
