Then she said her friend had something she could plug into her ports so she could use them and could I get her one of those. I don’t get it. What was wrong with the ports?

Apple trackpads are amazing but touchscreens are also great. Only when you get used to using one do you miss it (and sometimes look stupid when you poke non touch screens).

Niche question. Does anyone know if Apple sells refurbished laptops in Denmark? Or have any advice on the best place in Denmark to buy a MacBook Pro- I need one with a danish keyboard but don’t speak the language...

Seriously though. If the 13/14 inch MacBook Pro isn’t released in March I’m going to through a sulk.

Unless they massively increase the price of the new MacBook Pro - although I guess a £300 difference is quite a lot. When the website says "delivering up to 40Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2" does that mean it's sufficient for an external GPU to work with it? I know there are differences in implementation that will affect performance. Sri.Theo fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Mar 18, 2020 |

That’s basically my situation right now. How will the theoretical 14 inch be priced for a 4 core with 16gb? There’s not that much room between the MacBook Air and the 16inch pro.

As a fellow ‘waiter’ it’s the stupidest thing. I’ve been putting it off since February. I should’ve just bought it then, but I feel like I’m in too deep now.

So is there likely to be a real performance difference in the midrange Air versus the basic 13 inch Pro? I’m talking in terms of battery life, photo editing and light video editing? I know the base model Air is the cheapest but I can’t bring myself to buy a dual core chip in 2020...

Mister Facetious posted:Tasks that require sustained performance will see noticeable gains due to the significantly higher TDP limit of 25/28 watts versus 10w for the i5 in the new Air. Thanks, given how long I keep my laptops it seems like it will be worth it. One last question - are AppleCare Protection Plan and Apple Care Plus different things? I can only buy the former here in Denmark and it may not cover as much?

Thanks all. The Air with the i5 and the Base Pro are the exact same price which is why I was deciding between the two. I’m going to go with the pro for that extra performance as hopefully it will hold me in good stead in future. I’ve waited so long for this to drop that my old laptop is literally falling apart

Does anyone make a USB-C dongle with both an Ethernet port and a VGA port on it? And yes I appreciate the weirdness of buying a thunderbolt equipped laptop to step down to a 1990’s standard, but we are where we are. HDMI and USB 2.0 included would also be great.

Every classroom I’ve been in or taught in, every conference room old, new, or recently upgraded has had VGA. Recently you might get lucky and there is also HDMI support, but there is always VGA. And yeah basically this, sometimes I’m in internal meeting rooms etc that work fine and nobody will ever upgrade unless they break.

My new MacBook is running super hot when I’m just watching YouTube (like burning my legs hot). I’m hoping is just doing stuff in the background as it sets up. (Also activity monitor is tougher to understand than process manager)

YouTube is what I’d be worried about on the MacBook Air, given what it randomly does to my MacBook Pro. Also a very common use case.

Hmm I'm having a weird issue with my new MacBook Pro where the screen tint will suddenly shift from more blue to more orange. It's not due to night mode (that's turned off) but it's very jarring when it happens. Some googling seems to suggests it's happened to previous models before.

NoDamage posted:Anyone else experiencing screen flickering issues on the new 13-inch MacBook Pro? It was flickering out of the box, resetting the NVRAM/SMC and reinstalling macOS did not help. Seems like it might be defective in which case I will need to do an exchange. I have so weird flickering issues but only when playing hbo Nordic in full screen. So I’m not sure if it’s the laptop or the website... I do have some colour temperature issues though.

So turns out that if you shutdown your Mac from the menu bar it still turns on if you click the touchpad or press a key? Is this how it’s always worked with macs i.e you don’t need to press the actual on/touch ID button? Oh and I’ve never had a row of function keys crash on me before - the terminal commands I’ve googled to restart it don’t seem to work either - just says no matching processes were found...

I’m willing to bet that like 90% of iPads sold don’t have sim slots. It’s a bit of a weird comparison.

sleepwalkers posted:getting my mom to open up her settings, go to the hotspot section, go to her computer, switch wifi networks, and type that password from her phone into the computer would be a non-trivial undertaking so if she could pay extra to get a SIM card in her computer i 100% would have her do that. If it’s the same Apple ID on both accounts it’s automatic. That being said I’m sure there’s a use for some people to have it built in.

I have a Macbook Pro 2020. I've heard a 45-watt adapter will work fine for overnight charging, but will it continue to charge in light use like streaming video or music? I'm thinking of something like this https://www.anker.com/eu-en/products/a2046?variant=41528724390078&ref=collectionBuy from anker
