Re: Variety of Mac questions

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is doing great. I do have the new 16 inches Macbook Pro with touchbar.and a tutorial in how to customize the touchbar will be helpful. I need to learn how to do that. I will definitely get it Mr. Panarese if you create one. I really want to know how to customi

If you were happy with your 2011 MacBook Air, then go ahead and get a new one. It is a solid choice. - Brad - On May 20, 2020, at 00:41, Traci Duncan wrote: The Mac mini has always interested me, but I need to learn more about a goot display and factor that into the cost. Traci Sent from

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Just my 2 my 2 cent worth, but if you don’t need to move your computer around, get a MacMini, you get more bang for your buck. I got a 2018 MacMini with 1TB SSD, 3.0 GHZ turbo boost up to 4.1 32GB of ram, with a i7 processor, had I done this in a MacBook Pro it would have cost me near 3000 buck

Re: Variety of Mac questions

I appreciate all this feedback and guidance. That article was helpful. If it is the laptop route I go, the higher end MacBook Air seems to fit my needs best. My mid 2011 does work for the most part, but it is showing it's age. Both in OS not able to keep up with apps, and I have had start up

Re: Variety of Mac questions

If what you have is doing what you need, updates are superfluous. Beyond appple marketing stratigy hype, I never understood the obsession with updates unless they had features of value for my needs. Updates caan present undesired items, such as having to add shift to many combination keyboar

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Hi! Depending on what you do with your Mac is important here. I’d rather max out the space with 2 tb instead. But that’s just me. /A > 18 maj 2020 kl. 21:30 skrev Traci Duncan : > > Hi all, > > Ok, I just went back to the apple store and reread the costs and options. As > cool as the touch bar

Re: Variety of Mac questions

The MacBook Pro with two USB-C ports has the eighth generation processor. Like I said, stay away from this one. The higher-end MacBook Pro 13 with four USB-C ports has the new 10th generation processor. This one has significant performance advantages over the MacBook Pro with the 8th generation

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Hi, I agree re the Touch Bar I find it really helpful for lots of things like formatting documents quickly and editing - have not started to customise yet but would love to know what you are doing in this respect to see if I can borrow ideas etc > On 18 May 2020, at 18:39, John Panarese wrot

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Hey John, Hope you are holding up ok. I just recently replaced my first Mac and have the new 16 inch MacBook pro with the touch bar. I’m very slowly learning to use it and am anxious to use it effectively. Any chance you might develop one of those highly effective and valuable Panarese tutori

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Hi all, Ok, I just went back to the apple store and reread the costs and options. As cool as the touch bar sounds, I’m not sure it’s worth the higher price. If I am understanding correctly, I can max out the processor and memory of the Air for $1350 in the education store. The air has the 10th

Re: Variety of Mac questions

I agree with John. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 and I continue to learn more about the TouchBar the longer I have this machine. I really think it is a personal choice. Are you interested in learning to use the TouchBar or do you just want to stick with the familiar row of f-keys. Aside from the

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Okay, that’s surprising. How do you find it useful? How do you even customize it? Those areas of the Touch Bar settings seem quite inaccessible. Like, I can’t drag and drop actions between the top and bottom part of that screen. > On May 18, 2020, at 12:39 PM, John Panarese wrote: > > Actual

Re: Variety of Mac questions

Actually, the Touch Bar is a very powerful and useful tool, and many people use it effectively on the Mac Book Pro. From a blind perspective, you have to get used to it and take your time learning it. You can even customize the Touch Bar for specific apps to do quick actions for that app. I h
