Very good points, bump up that processor too if you want to hold on to it for a long time. Pretty good gain for only a $150 or $300 bump in price. Especially if it’s going to last you a long time. Good philosophy.. > On Jul 9, 2016, at 3:47 PM, 'Maxwell Ivey' via MacVisionaries > wrote: >

Hi, I do realize that there is both WiFi and Lightning storage, my thoughts though were whether there may be something in the future that works with iOS for external storage. Maybe there is and I'm out of the loop, but I haven't noticed it. With respect to pricing, I'm only quoting Canadian p

There are already both wifi and Lightning storage devices, for the record. As to slots on iOS, I doubt it. Apple released the Retina MacBook last year, including only one port aside from the headphone jack. This suggests less expansion, not more, especially on their mobile products. I, too, have

Hi Max, Apple seems to be focusing on the Cloud and keeping their devices slim and fairly free of, what they might consider, extraneous ports. So, I don't believe that SD slots or some such expansion will be on their radar. I'm not an insider, nor do I have any more insight than most others,

Hi, Actually, if purchasing new, you won't find a MacBook Pro with built-in DVD drive anymore. When it comes to a decision between the Pro or the Air, you need to look at what you want from your computer and how much you're willing to spend. the Pros have better processors, better displays, u

Yes I've used the 12 and 9.7 inch iPad pros. The 12 inch is to large and chunkie for my liking. The 9.7 is a nicer size but heavier than I'd like to carry around It's got everything you need plus the app store for things you don't. Still no I wouldn't get one but that's a personal preference

The iPad Pro is 12.9 inches. It comes with a maximum of 256gb, I believe, which is a lot, but far less than you can get for MacBooks. Plus, it lacks the expansion ports of a Mac. As to which is better, that depends on your use case. iOS still lacks many keyboard shortcuts found in macOS, and ho
