Help me choose my laptop please

Afternoon guys,
Im after a little advice.
I have used PC for 12 years and have decided to try mac for my next laptop.
It will mainly be used to create YouTube videos and photo editing using Final Cut Pro X and Photoshop. This is just as a hobby, it is not my profession So I don't need Hollywood level results.
I Have spoken to Apple Live support and after a lengthy conversation they suggested the £999 base 13 inch MacBook Pro. I am impressed with their suggestion as I told them I had up to £2000 to spend and they didn't milk me for everything I had.
I Just wanted to double check that this machine will be fine for video rendering and photo editing from the machines user base.
What do you guys think ?

I Tried those Steps But When I Get to the Credit Card Part it Doesn't Have the Option to Choose None. It Says Visa. MasterCard.  Anecdotes and Discover . I'm Also in the United States.

  • Need help choosing new laptop, please.

    Hello,
    I am in the market for a new laptop. My late 2008 MacBook Pro with C2D 2.66 GHz and 4 GB RAM. I think it is one its last leg and it is showing its age. In fact, I am really in fear that it will give out on me soon. It just shuts down randomly and I don't know how long it has left. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on laptops.
    Here are some of the things that I do, or that I will need a laptop to do for me:
    Adobe Creative Cloud Applications (I am a web developer)
    Act a media center when I am at home (XBMC, streaming all types of media files)
    Budget: just around $600 - That is my limit, but if I can a way better deal, I am all for it.
    I need it to be portable, that is why I am going with a laptop. I think that I want to give Windows 8.1 a go instead of OSX this time around.
    I found a really good deal on this:
    HP ENVY 15" 15-j173cl Notebook
    AMD A-Series A10-5750M (2.50GHz)
    12GB Memory 1TB HDD
    15.6" Touchscreen
    1920 x 1080 resolution
    Windows 8 64-Bit
    Price: $499
    I am open to any suggestions. I just happen to have run across this one.
    My concern is: Will this configuration be able to handle Adobe CC 2014? I am a web developer and I need Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver open and running at the same time, as well as multiple browsers and browser tabs at the same time. I am on a budget and this fits in my budget quite nicely.
    I have heard and read bad things about HP, so I don't know if I should go with that brand. I have been reading that Lenovo or Asus is the way to go, but most of the laptops that I think I would need are out of my price range. And, I don't know if AMD CPUs will provide the power that I need, but then again I am just guessing because I don't really know. I have not owned an AMD product yet.
    So, I am really stuck on what to do. Thank you in advance for any and all help, advice and suggestions.

    You can look for DELL devices, but they seem to be less customisable.

    By the way my 'veteran' tecra m-9 was originally equipped with of 3 Gb RAM, Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia Quattro 130M card, not replaceble but really cool for work and some 3D modelling, even suited for gaming a bit.
    For 2008 that was a strong warrior.

  • Help me choose a motherboard [please]!

    Hi, I live in Canada and would like to buy a motherboard from MSI. I just want someone to direct me to the least expensive motherboard that has a socket for the E6300 Core 2 Duo CPU, 4 slots for DDR2 RAM, SATA and PATA compatibility, PCI Express 16x graphic card slot, built-in LAN (doesn't have to be GIGABIT LAN), and, a built-in sound card (nothing special needed, all I need is to hear sound).
    I will not overclock at all, so...someone please help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Help me choose a technology please ??

    Hi, I am a MSc (Software Development) student from University of Huddersfield, UK. I have to submit a final year project proposal by the end of July.
    My real client is a pharmaceutical company with many offices in many cities. They maintain a central database in one city. The need is to develop a means of accessing this database via a Java technology over the Internet as well as Intranet. The use of applets and web pages is discouraged by the non-technical company advisors. I wonder what can be the solution ?? Please guide me in the right direction and kindly point a right Java technology to be used in a Java Application for this need.
    The relevant detail is:
    1). Back end Database is in ORACLE.
    2). Front END is supposed to be an Internet + Intranet enabled Application.
    3). The choice of technologies to be considered:
    RMI ??? (may be a rediculous question)
    EJ Beans ??
    Servelets ??
    What should I think of ?? Please help me out as the time to decide is slipping out of my hands.
    Regards,
    Shahzad.

    Hi,
    First (non-technical people - like overpaid business managers) don't usually have a clue what they are talking about.
    So, first, you need to make a case fro using simple well-known technology eg a tomcat server and the new buzz-word is SOAP (well it's not that new, but then the internet is getting old too).
    Three web sites in 1996 (I quote Bill Clinton in the Dimbly lectures), maybe it was four!
    On to SOAP, do a google/msn search on the subject.
    It is a way of running a thin client/ server operation, passing all data as text or maybe xml (another buzzword?) through good old html.
    You can therefore bypass firewalls with any data sent, there is not a need for expensive pcs (front-end users machines). The server does all the processing and returns a response as either a text response, an xml response, or just maybe a href link to a resource.
    Just some ideas to think about.
    Hope this helps
    best

  • Help me choose a datastructure please - urgent

    hi all,i have a very serious problem,to which i am not able to find the solution.the problem is as follows
    i have a large number of datas in a database table.now i need to query that table so many times,so to improve the performance i thought i can retrieve the datas and put them in a datastructure so that the system need not query the database again and again.the table structure has two fields.one number and the other string.the numbers are not unique,and i need to have these numbers ans strings in the single datastructure.i saw that all the util datastructures have their own indexes and so they do not allow me to enter my numbers and strings from the table in the same datastructure.which structure will allow the flexibility that i need,or is there any other way to do it.please reply soon,bye thiyagu.

    Not exactly sure what you're looking for in terms of a data structure... but I'll just give you what I think the simplest solution is to your problem.
    Define a new object (i.e. MyData) which has variables, theNumber (an int or float or whatever yer number is) and theString. Then, all you need to do is query your database, create new MyData objects for each record, and put them into an ArrayList.
    public class MyData {
    private int theNumber;
    private String theString;
    public MyData(int number, String str) {
    theNumber = number;
    theString = str;
    public int getNumber() {
    return theNumber;
    public String getString() {
    return theString;
    Thats my solution...

  • Help after a stolen laptop please?

    My 2005 ipod photo was synced to a laptop that was stolen in 2006.  I have never been able to get my photos and music (there is a lot of it!) off the ipod.  Is there a way?

    You can with the music.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your current computer's iTunes library.
    The photos are in a special compressed format on the iPod.  iTunes syncs them this way, to optimize the photos to fit the iPod's small screen and save storage space.  So, they are probably very low-res compared to the original photos.  The only exception is IF you used a particular sync option.  On the iPod's Photos screen in iTunes, there is a setting to Include full-resolution photos.  IF that setting was enabled (when you synced the photos), you can Enable Disk Use on the iPod, access the iPod's storage like an external drive, and find the full-res image files in the Photos folder.
    NOTE:  There may be third-party utilities that can access the low-res iPod version of the photos from the iPod.

  • New Game Programmer In Need Of Help Choosing A Laptop!

    hi, im sorry but i really need help with choosing a laptop. not sure where to post this. i just enrolled in game programming. and im currently on the hunt for a laptop that i can use for programming. i know a desktop is better. but sadly i cant carry it to school. after looking at Alienware, Razer, MSI and others. i kinda want to get an MSI laptop. any suggestions? ofcoz not the high end ones. thank you in advance!

    A model with a Steelseries keyboard will by far be the best for you.  What are your requirements - screen size/ storage/CPU/GPU/ screen real estate (4K/3k/1080/)/weight/ material   - those requirements would help to narrow down the choices since there are so many... Also what country are you in and do you prefer to buy from one store or another?

    Hello becky81464
    If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]

  • How to choose gaming laptop with right Graphics for your demand?

    Most users buy a gaming laptop because of playing games, but do you have clear picture of these GPUs performance and comparison in mind before you choose it?
    Here comes the check list about the GPU Pipeline(Cores) and memory info as below table, it's the key index related to the 3D benchmarks and gaming performance, and it's easier for all users to check if the GPU/Graphics performance is good or bad compare with last generation graphics.
    Normally we know that GTX780M/770M is enthusiast level for ultra gaming, and GTX765M/760M is for high performance gaming, GT750M/740M is performance level HD gaming, but what's the gap and difference of these graphics?
    Analysis about 3D Mark scores
    For the 3D Mark Vantage, it's the benchmark reference based on DirectX10 effects and rely on more CPU performance. According to the score rated, performance level should over P7000 score, high performance level should over P13000 score, extreme performance level must over P18000 score. So you could see that GTX780M, GTX770M, GTX680M and GTX675MX were on the top of the enthusiast level graphics with great performance.
    Then we look on the 3D Mark 11 tests, it's pure DirectX11 gaming performance test, more rely on GPU/Graphics performance, and less impact from different CPU, so you could see that 3D Mark 11 is more demand on graphics performance. Performance level need to over P2000 score, High Performance level need to over P3000 score, and to be enthusiast level will need to over P4000 score. Take a look on GTX780M, it's top performance and leading far from other graphics performance, GTX770M and GTX680M are also great to pver P5000 score as enthusiast level graphics. GTX765M got same score as GTX675MX, so you could see the improvement of the GTX7xx series from GT6xx series.
    Same situation with 3D Mark Fire Strike, the latest benchmark program from Future Mark, it's also the heavy loading 3D test program of DirectX11 effects, so you could see the score was similar but lower to 3D Mark 11 P score results.
    Then we look at AMD platform with GX60/GX70 series from MSI, it's all over P4800 score, so the gaming experience is really better than enough, and you could take it with Eynfinity mode as a gaming machine with 3 monitors surround view as well.
    Something need to be noticed
    There is a trap from different memory chip difference, we take a look on the GT750M with 2 columns, the top one comes with GDDR5 and below one comes with DDR3, you could see the GDDR5 version is over 10% faster than DDR3 version, that means 4GB is not help on the performance enhancement, please choose MSI GE series laptop with GT750M GDDR5 will be much better for gaming.
    Another part, you could see both Intel embedded graphics HD4600 and AMD embedded graphics AMD8650G was faster than GT720M and GT630M, so anyone who wants to buy the laptop with GT720M/GT630M graphics or under, it's a kind of waste on the performance and price point of view, you rather to buy an UMA version laptop without low performance graphics to have less heat, lower power consumption and more battery life indeed.
    Conclusion at last
    Lets come out a performance summarize for your purchase reference.
    MSI GT series with GTX780M/770M is the best choice for 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and ultra detail setup gaming experience. That's why professional gamers always buy MSI GT series with finest graphics!
    Choose GE series or GS70 with GTX765M/760M is suitable for 160x900 HD+ resolution and higher detail gaming experience, if users wants to play with 1920x1080, must sacrifice the detail to become medium, for some heavy game titles even need to set low detail.
    If you are not powerful graphics demand users, you could choose GE series with GT750M or GP series with 740M, is suitable for 1366x768 HD resolution and high detail gaming experience, or runs at 1600x900 with lower detail setup. Sometimes GT740M even need to adjust the detail become medium or low to make the game smoother to play in heavy loading games.
    Remark: All benchmarks will have +-5% score range depends on different test status and conditions.

    WOW ~ the most detail analysis I've ever see ,  gamers just follow the above expert's suggestion ,  you will buy excatly what you need !!! rocks !
    - best enthusiast and ultimated gaming without budget limitation, just choose GT70/GT60 series
    - gamers need super mobility should choose GS70 series
    - the best cost/ performance ratio product should be GE70/GE60/GE40, or GX70/GX60 ( HD8970M also great for ultimated gaming)
    - if you are on-line gamer or multi media professional expert, GE or GP series is also great for you
    - GS is also great with super slim body, professional expert for movies and music studio must take into consideration...
