Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
Your question is:
¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
--NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
--ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

  • Is there a big difference between MSI K8N SLI and MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboa

    i am a bit tight on budget, so I was wondering if I should get the MSI K8N SLI motherboard instead of the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard (my previous choice),.......what do u guys say ?

    Hi,
    Note that he is not talking about the Neo4 versions, looks like in the US MSI has different products:
    Here is the K8N SLI:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=681
    And here is the K8N NEO4 SLI:
    http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4/SLI&class=mb
    One has Sound blaster, the other does not.
    Besides, K8N SLI Platinum has only one LAN.
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=641
    While the Neo4 Platinum has two.
    http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
    A bit confusing right !? Remember that this forum is accessed by people all over the world.
    The thing is that the Neo4 and the related non-Neo are using the same BIOS AFAIK.

    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device. That's not supported by Apple.

  • Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

    Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
    Cheers
    G

    There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
    Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

  • Considering buying refurbished.  Is there a big difference between a refurb with an original date this year vs. one from over a year ago??

    Considering buying refurbished.  Is there a big difference between a refurb with an original date this year vs. one from over a year ago??

    MacBook Air, 13", Mid 2013:
    On June 10, 2013, Apple released an updated MacBook Air in the same form factor as the 2012 model during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). The 11-inch and 13-inch models have a minimum standard 4GB RAM, with a maximum configuration of 8GB. Both models are powered by the Haswell ULT 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz and 1.7GHz Dual-Core i7 with Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz option available. Each model has a 128GB configuration and a 256GB configuration available, with the 256GB model being upgradeable to 512GB SSD.
    1.3 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Air, 13", Early 2014:
    On April 29, 2014 Apple released an updated MacBook Air featuring faster processors and better battery life. The standard configurations also saw a price drop in most regions.
    1.4 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Late 2013:
    At the Apple Special Event on October 22, 2013, Apple announced that it had updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Both versions feature the new Intel Haswell chipset.
    2.4 or 2.6 GHz (Core i5) or 2.8 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Mid 2014:
    On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
    2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
    I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.

  • Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

    Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

    Software support of graphics card is key.   If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored.  Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

  • I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

    I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
    So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

  • Is there a performance difference between Automation Plug-ins and the scripting system?

    We currently have a tool that, through the scripting system, merges and hides layers by layer groups, exports them, and then moves to the next layer group.  There is some custom logic and channel merging that occasionally occurs in the merging of an individual layer group.  These operations are occuring through the scripting system (actually, through C# making direct function calls through Photoshop), and there are some images where these operations take ~30-40 minutes to complete on very large images.
    Is there a performance difference between doing the actions in this way as opposed to having these actions occur in an automation plug-in?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply.    I ended up just benchmarking the current implementation that we are using (which goes through DOM from all indications, I wasn't the original author of the code) and found that accessing each layer was taking upwards of 300 ms.  I benchmarked iterating through the layers with PIUGetInfoByIndexIndex (in the Getter automation plug-in) and found that the first layer took ~300 ms, but the rest took ~1 ms.  With that information, I decided that it was worthwhile rewriting the functionality in an Automation plug-in.

  • Hey guys I was  wondering do I need an anti virus software on my mac? I don't think I need it but as a first time mac user I wanted your opinion.

    Just wanted to get your opinion.

    This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
    It doesn't apply to software that comes packaged as an installer. Treat all third-party installers with caution.
    It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. 
    Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. [Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • Is there a noticeable difference between a 1.83 and 2.00 GHz processor?

    I am new to apple, and this will be my first Apple laptop computer. I am looking for a laptop that is powerful enough to run programs such as Adobe Photoshop (no more than one photo at a time) and other basic programs such as Microsoft Office. I will be doing no video or gaming. Can you tell me if there is a reason to upgrade from the 1.83GHZ to the 2.00 GHz processor? Thank you.

    You are only looking at a difference of 170Mhz. As far as I know the processors are the same except for clock speed. I do not think that you will notice any difference in the two processors for smaller jobs like applying a filter in Photoshop or running a spell check in Office. The 2Ghz will edge ahead for longer term tasks such as editing and compressing video. If something takes 1 hour to compress into "quicktime" (IE. h.264) you may see the 2Ghz MB finish 10 minutes sooner.
    Bottom line, from what you are describing, I do not think you will do anything that will be too terribly intensive to notice the difference in speed now. But I always advise to people to buy as FAST as they can afford. Your computer will stay faster for longer. In a few years that extra little bit of speed can come in handy as programs continue to becomes more complex. Somthing intaresting about your situation right now is that Both Office and Photoshop are not Intel native for the Mac, so they will need to be emulated by Rosetta. While it is supposed to be seemless, rosetta is emulated so it is slower. You will get a noticable boost in speed if you upgrade to the native (or Universal) version of these programs when they are made available.
    OK, I have blabbed on enough. Hope this helps shed some light on things. (Personally I would go with the 2Ghz.)

  • Is there a noticeable difference between Dual Core i7 and Quad Core i7?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm going to be a college freshman this fall. I'm looking at 13" MacBook with Retina Display with dual core i7.   I'm also looking at the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display with Quad Core i7. I want to major in science and have a concentration in photography, which means that I will run programs like Excel, PowerPoint (or keynote), and Photoshop.
    Anyways, will there be a noticeable difference between a Dual Core i7 processor and a Quad i7 processor?
    Thanks!

    Ceteris Paribus, the quad-core will be twice as fast as the dual-core.

  • Why is there a color difference between my iPhone 4s and my new iPad?

    I noticed that photos taken with my iPhone don't always display the same colors when displayed on my iPad.
    What gives, they're both retina displays, right?  Why not the same color balance?
    Any easy fix or will periwinkle blue always look muddy, tending to magenta?
