  • Pros and cons of the macbook air and the macbook pro

    Hi!
    This coming year, my younger daugter will go to high school and need a macbook because she is dyslectic. I want to know which one between the macbook air and the macbook pro will be the best for her. Thanks for your answer.

    At least according to their web site, Whitesmoke Executive is not compatible with the Mac operating system.
    Word Q does have a Mac version. http://www.goqsoftware.com/products/
    I was unable to figure out what software package you meant by Antidote. There are several.
    Word, of course, is part of MS Office, and they make a Mac OS version. I use Office 2011 daily.
    None of these products are likely to tax the hardware of either of the computers you mention at all. The computer will be spending most of its time waiting for your daughter to do something.
    Note - my neice just bought a MacBook Air 11". She is entering the University of South Carolina in the fall and is absolutely thrilled with the computer.

  • After making a note in a non wifi environment the note disappears when connecting the Macbook Air to the internet?

    After making a note in a non wifi environment the note dissappears completely after connecting the Macbook Air to the internet again?

    What kind of server are you using to sync Notes, if not iCloud?

  • Does the Macbook Air need a protective case to avoid scratches?

    Hi.. My husband gave me a MacBook Air 11" for Christmas. I would like to ask if there is a need to put a protective case over it to avoid scratches. Also read reviews from MBA owners that putting a protective case makes the MBA heat up faster. I'm planning to get the iGlaze Moshi and considering its quite pricey, I would like your advice if there is really a need to have a protective case. Thanks!

    Hi Calcarballo.
    Many thanks for your question.
    As a user of a 2013 MacBook Air I have used Specks Shell for my MacBook Air and I cannot see a difference in heat. I bought the Speck 13" SmartShell Case for the MacBook Air and personally I am happy. It keeps the font screen clean from dirt and minor scratches and the bottom safe and clean. Personally, the Shell cases will not be a massive benefit if you throw your MacBook Air around but it does add a layer of protection.
    Highlights of the Specks Case include:
    Durable, ultra-thin hard shell protects from scratches and scuffs
    Sleek, glossy two-piece design is easy to put on and take off
    Anti-tilt rubberized feet keep your MacBook stable and secure
    The website for the SmartShell is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD623ZM/A/speck-11-smartshell-case-for-macbook -air?fnode=50&fs=f%3D11inchmacbookair%26fh%3D36c2%252B2c0a
    If you were looking for supreme protection, I would look at a Thule 11" Gauntlet Envelope Case. I have this case for the MacBook Air 2013 13" and it is way more protective, it is an envelope that is tapered to provide a perfect fit and safeguards your MacBook Air.
    Highlights of this envelope include:
    Tapered shape provides a precise fit for MacBook Air
    Stitch-free, heat-welded seams
    Semi-rigid EVA foam construction creates a glove-like fit and the padded protection of a sleeve
    Nylex-lined interior lets MacBook easily slide in and out, preventing scratches
    The website for the envelope is here: http://store.apple.com/au/product/H9933ZM/A/thule-11-gauntlet-envelope-case-for- macbook-air
    Basically the choice is yours. The Protective case - the iGlaze Moshi and Speck's SmartShell will provide some protection against scratches and scruffs, but will not save your MacBook on big drops therefore do not utilise these SmartCases as an excuse to make sure your MacBook is safe. Your envelope will provide more protection but it is not as practical as the SmartCase.
    The Choice is yours!
    Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Does the Macbook Air need to have a fan under it to prolong its life?

    I just bought a Macbook Air and would like to know if an external fan is necessary as it was for my Macbook. Even with the fan the Macbook would get really hot. I noticed that the Macbook Air gets warm also, but with everything internal being solid state I don't know if the external fan would be beneficial or not. Thanks for your thoughts, in advance.

    Anytime you can keep an electronic device nearer to a preferred temperature, you will do nothing but good for it. In this case, you may make the fan work at slightly lower RPM. Primary cooling of the MBA is acccomplished by means of an interior fan, coupled to a heat sink/pipe leading to the CPU/GPU. This same fan also draws air over the logic board. Interior heat is also expelled, to a lesser extent, by means of being radiated and conducted by the case bottom.
    However, blowing a fan across the bottom is probably the least efficient manner in which to aid cooling of the MBA, especially if you are drawing power from the MBA to run that fan.
    If your goal is to extract heat from the case, you can more efficiently do so if your heat conduction to the case itself is more efficient than air, as the case bottom has a rather low surface area to exterior dimension ratio. There are heat conducting materials suited for contact cooling, such as the Targus Heat Defense Pad. This device also consumes no power from the MBA. The downside is that it is only functional for a finite period, wherein the crystals remain somewhat solidified and are able to take on heat.
    If you are using the MBA for extended periods, perhaps a fan type cooler will offer some help, but don't expect much if it also contributes to heat generation by being powered from the MBA itself. Look for something that actually conducts heat from the case, and uses a fan across a high surface area element to transfer conducted heat to the air.
    But as far as the MBA actually "needing" additional cooling, ...in most cases no. If it were the case, then Apple would be making the recommendation. However, there are definite situations where users are putting much more heat loading than what would be considered "normal", and in such cases, it is definetely something to consider. I use a heat defense type pad from time to time, and it works great.

  • I am looking at mac computers, and cannot decide between the macbook air or the pro, can anyone help?

    I am about to go into my senior year in high school and I need a new laptop. I like to be able to have a reliable laptop with fast speed and can get the job done for my porjects and presentations. I also like to play online games with my friends, and I wanrt to be able to know that I will not be stopped with a slow computer. Can anyone give me suggestions for the laptop I am looking for?

    If you're doing nothing more than web browsing, email, some light photo processing, and your standard Microsoft Office Stuff, I'd get the MacBook Air 13" with 4GB RAM and the largest SSD drive you can afford.  It's light, and fast.
    If you're going to edit movies and use Photoshop with lots of plug-ins, do substantial graphics, play 3D games, then get the fastest MacBook Pro with the largest screen, biggest HD and most RAM you can afford.
    The thing is, the MacBook Pro is more like a desktop that's portable.  The MacBook Air is still a powerful computer (it's not just an iPad with keyboard like a lot of people claim), but you basically are stuck with what you got.  It really can't do a lot of heavy computer lifting.
    I'm a MacBook Pro guy.

  • Is there a difference between the macbook air and the macbook pro?

    i know the specs but are there some differences where you can tell me about??

    The differences are pretty obvious if you've read the technical specifications comparison. Which MacBook Pro are you comparing the MacBook Air against? There are additional differences if you're comparing between 13, 15 or 17" models.
    The most obvious differences:
    Optical Drive
    Ethernet port
    FireWire port
    i5/i7 CPU architecture
    Dedicated GPU (15 & 17 MBP)
    RAM and HDD upgradeability
    Backlit keyboard

  • Does my Macbook Air need a power converter in the UK?

    I am traveling to the UK soon - will I need a power converter for my MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone?
    thanks

    Input voltage for iPad and iPhone is same. 100 -240 Volts.
    You will need plug adapters for those power adapters.
    No converters are necessary.

  • Does my macbook air have the app store?

    Im having trouble with my Macbook air i thought it was supposed to have app store on it. Ive been searching every where i hope someone answers. thx for even looking!!!!!!

    If you have it, it'll be in the Dock and the Applications folder.
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 and don't have it, run the Mac OS X 10.6.7 combo updater.
    If you're running an earlier Mac OS X version, purchase and install Mac OS X 10.6.

  • Which is a better performer, the macbook air or the mac mini?

    Which one performs better, the late 2013 macbook air (standard configuration: 4GB RAM, dual core i5 1,3 Ghz CPU) or the mac mini core quad core i7, 4GB RAM with a regular hard disc?

    LowLuster 
    No Air model can be as fast as a Mini with a quad core i7 CPU. Can't happen.
    I didnt solicit your opinion, and it IS a fact, .....skilled users here on this board will and DO TELL other users OFTEN that:
    "outside of processor core use (video/ photo etc.) you will NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE on X computer vs. slower Y computer"
    I have a 8 month old QUAD core Mac Mini and it is , as I said above "noticeably not ONE BIT" faster than my current 2013 macbook Air with 8gig.
    My quad core came with 4gig of RAM as I recall, I immediately tossed in 16gig.
    Notice the word "noticeably"
    Your subjective hyperbole aside, you are wrong......., those above yourself and myself (point wise,...as Ogel has stated, Clinton has stated, and others) state this fact very often regarding ---"outside of processor core use (video/ photo etc.) you will NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE on X computer vs. slower Y computer"
    Its not my opinion, its a fact, namely additionally that I stated "noticeably"   - "my quad core mac mini on MOST EVERYTHING (which is most things since 'most things' are NOT photo and video editing) is not "noticeably" ONE BIT faster than my Macbook Air.
    "most things" people do (most people) on their computer does NOT involve photo and video editing (photoshop pro, final cut pro etc etc)
    This is a fact, that AS SUCH most people WILL NOT notice any difference in general computer use between a quad core mac mini (for example) and a entry level macbook Air. (SSD vs. HD speeds aside).       Nobody is going to notice faster youtube, or Word use, or websurfing, Acrobat Pro, Quicktime play, general APPS that havent changed much in 7 years.
    Dont curse on these family boards please, its uncouth.
    Peace

  • Torn Between The MacBook Air and the Pro. Advice?

    I have a MacBook Pro, but do a lot of photography and would love the Retina display. However the shorter battery life and the number of people who have warned me I will need to replace the hard drive with a SSD concerns me. I currently store my photos on an external hard drive. Thanks for your help.

    In my opinion, you should only buy the Pro if you know for a fact you need the extra CPU/GPU power. If you don't, you'll be stuck with the Pro's disadvantages (heavier, worse battery, etc...) without benefiting from any of the advantages (the aforementioned additional CPU/GPU power). Wait till the end of the year/early next year to see if Apple has a retina Air. Otherwise, only get the Pro if you know you need the extra horsepower.

  • Im an 8th year old and i am looking for a mac. I do alot of presentations and i like to have a lot of music and images. You think the macbook air is the one for me?

    Macbook air or pro? I am in 8th grade and like to hear alot of music and save alot of images which one is the one for me?

    "alot" can vary greatly depending on ones perception of the word.  However, I would recommend a non-retna model MacBook Pro so you can have the option to install a higher capacity hard drive and more ram if necessary over the years.  You can not install more ram in a MacBook Air after purchase and installing a new drive in a MacBook Air while it is under warranty would void said warranty.

  • Does the MacBook Air have a slot for a lock?

    My current MacBook has a slot in which I can insert a lock to protect the computer in a public location (a library, for example).
    Does the MacBook Air have the same slot?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately the MBA is too thin for the Kensington lock. I've seen a couple solutions but they aren't inexpensive. I've seen this one and some of these. I recommend Prey for after the fact.

  • Does the Macbook Air run full, standalone versions of software or does it require special, streamlined apps?

    I'm looking to buy a Macbook. Will the Macbook Air load and run full, unabridged versions of Mac-compatible software, such as what I already own, or does it require only special "apps" versions such as the iPad and iPhone do? I realize that the Macbook Air blurb states you can wirelessly use another Mac's drive to load software onto a MBA or buy an add-on drive to connect it up and load software but my question is the performance capability of the MBA to actually run full versions of ALL OS X Mac-compatible software.

    The MacBook Air runs the identical operating system as any other Mac, and is subject to no arbitrary limitations imposed on the latest software, or by the latest software.
    The only remaining factor is hardware. All Mac software has it's own individual requirements for the system, that being the speed of the processor, the amount of memory, the type of graphics processor required, etc. Some select software, say intense game apps, will not run very well or at all on the MBA, and it simply the lack of a system's component compatibility of performance. But this is a factor present in all computers, nothing special about the MacBook Air.
    So, as long as the hardware is sufficient for the system requirements of the software, you can install and use any full version app designed for OS X Lion.

  • How powerful/fast is the MacBook Air 13inch pls?

    Hello everyone, I have had a 17inch MacBook Pro for about 6 years, its a great machine but it's too big and bulky to be very portable. I go away a lot for long weekend or train journyes to see friends and wanted a lightweight portable 'sketch book' to start idea in logic/ableton/photoshop etc while I was travelling and would then bring them back to finish/carry on on an iMac which I will get next year after saving for a bit.
    So I bought a 13 inch MacbookPro, which is a great little machine but after only a week I am wondering if it's still a bit too heavy/thick for my needs. I am away now and it took up quite a lot in my ruckack and then I had to walk a couple a miles to the hostel and it go pretty heavy with all my other stuff. So I am wondering if I might return it and get an Air, but worry that it may not be the greatest at running these programs. Does anyone use it for such things or had any experience please? As I say I wont be tracking a whole orhcestra or choir just bacically for getting up ideas running/watching films/net etc
    Thanks very much for all help.
    PS My old MacBook Pro was 2.6 core 2 duo 4GB ram and seemed to run everything fine. Is the new i5 much better?

    Hi Ian.id,
    A couple of tips to maximize your shopping research.
    1.) Apple Support Communities is an awesome resource for getting quick tech tips and help from a community of individuals who either work in the business, are enthusiasts or generally like to share their knowledge and experiences with others. While we all like to provide correct and accurate information that doesn't always happen (we're all human, after all) but the good news is that often times there's enough relevant data in these forums to where you can get pointed in the right direction or find your answer in another topic discussion.
    2.) I'd rank these hardware communities as "ok" (at best) to get a thorough response to specific use cases. For example, with a Logic question you'd be better to ask this in the forums designed for Logic discussions. That forum is here -
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications
    While I realize your question(s) are about the MacBook Air, ultimately the majority of topics in the machine-specific forums are about hardware/software troubleshooting. That's not to say you can't ask here and there (a lot of people will triple or even quad post) to increase visibility. It's no secret that each sub-community has their regulars.
    3.) As Ableton is not an Apple product you're not going to get the visibility you're probably after here. What are the odds that someone who uses Ableton on a MacBook Air will see your thread and then actually response in a helpful manner? I'd say it's low. I'd recommend going through Ableton's support community channel which appears to be here -
    https://www.ableton.com/answers
    4.) Lastly, do you have any music software forums or community sites you frequent? I find those profession-specific forums are usually MUCH better for hardware discussion versus profession-specific discussions in a hardware forum.
    Good Luck!
