How well does the 2013 MacBook Air 13" Handle Adobe Creative Cloud Program's?

How Well Does The 13" MacBook Air Handle The Adobe Creative Cloud Apps?
I'm A Visual Communication Student But I Would Like Extremely Portable Setup Hence The MacBook Air 13", The Main Program's I Use Are:
Photoshop
InDesign
Illustrator
And I Also Use Dreamweaver & After Effects From Time To Time.....
How Would A Top Spec 2013 13" Air Cope Running These Program's??

What about the backpack? Did you have it in one often?
College and notebooks = backpacks usually 9 times out of 10, was that the case?
Your MacBook Air doesnt like roommates in your backpack
Many collects students or people in general are fond of using non-idealized backpacks (without a padded laptop compartment) along with their books. Sandwiching books around your notebook etc. is an extremely bad idea and can leads to your LCD screen being destroyed when heavy textbooks are pressing against same, or when dropping your backpack, these books slam into your Macbook causing great potential for damage.
~"large white blotch and pixilated lines running down the screen."
That indicates a significant impact.
~~"They kept telling me it was "excess pressure". I told them it was impossible, it would be normal pressure"
What do you mean by "normal pressure" ANY pressure to the LCD is abnormal pressure.

How well does the TomTom app work?

Let's hear it, how well does the TomTom app work compared to a dedicated GPS device? Are you using TomTom's special cat kit? Is there a way to load TomTom binary files (POIs) onto the iphone?

I have used a Garmin Nuvi760 for about 2 years and have been very pleased. When TomTom had a sale for $50 and now seems to be $60, I bought it. I also bought a kensington car mount. (http://us.kensington.com/html/17546.html). I like it. with my 3GS, there is no need for the amplified TomTom car kit. The speech quality could be better but it's loud enough. I do like the on screen presentations a bit more than my Garmin. I'm still getting used to the interface. It's a real good thing that I can use my contacts file to set destinations. My next step is to go on an 800 mile trip this month and compare the two systems side by side. So far, TomTom has not always made the best route choice and once sent me to the right address in an adjoining city. (This is southern Cal) Not good, but these are map issues which will always be evolving. Is it worth it? Yes. At $100, maybe. The good thing is that my phone is always with me and so is my GPS. I does put a drain on the battery, so it should be on charging while using in a car.

As you might imagine, without knowing a ton of information about the actual construction of the walls and ceiling of your home.....how many walls and other obstructions would be in the signal path of each device.....and the distance between each device and the AirPort Express.....along with how many users would be online at one time or another and what activities they would be involved in......etc., it's really not possible to accurately predict what type of results you might achieve.
The bottom line with any wireless installation is that you really won't know how effectively it will actually perform until you try it.
My opinion would be that you will likely need to add an additonal AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless more effectively to the bottom floor. But again, the same things apply as above.

How well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally?

how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
there's my advce
ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
the defender series will be bulkier

Improving the 2013 Macbook Air i7 battery life

Hi
I've checked couple of topics related to this issue seems many people suffer from this problem, i7 8gb ram with 512gb ssd Macbook air has some issues with its battery life it reduced very quickly. I've applied some techniques -like smc reset,deleting launch daemons and agents- and have an improvement in battery performance. Now the point is, when i do the EtreCheck there are many kernel extensions displayed in the report. Is there any way to delete them and slightly improve the battery life?

Is there any other suggestions that you may offer ? Many thanks

You can use the new Activity Monitor to determine a unitless "Energy Impact" value:
You can also click the battery icon in your Mac's menu to reveal significant energy hogs (UPS is shown below):
Whereas Apple recently updated their apps to take advantage of Mavericks' energy saving algorithms, few other vendors have. I surmise the prominent "Energy Impact" hall of shame addition to the new Activity Monitor is Apple's subtle way of nudging them into compliance.
Google's plethora of invasive OS X system modifications is a popular reason for excessive battery drain. Google has yet to demonstrate the ability to develop efficient OS X apps, and one can only surmise they are not interested in doing so. If you elect to use Google Chrome or any other poorly implemented OS X programs, you must accept the detrimental effect they will have on performance and battery life.
If you no longer use a Blackberry, uninstall RIM's software. Be sure to follow its uninstallation instructions.

Will the Creative Suite CS6 run well on the latest MacBook Air?

I am in the market for a mac and I would like to know how much performance would I be sacrificing for portability in choosing an Air. I currently run a Dell Studio 15 with a 1st-gen Quad-core i7 1.6gHz with 8GB of RAM. Obviously I cannot compare the two for various reasons, so that is just a gauge for what I am accostomed to. I have been told that an Air can run Photoshop, but not everyone pushes the program to the same degree or in the same way. Is there a quantifiable threshold for what the MacBook Air can handle in Photoshop, such as performance editing RAW files vs performance doing 3D work or Animation work? How does it perform running Photoshop and say, Illustrator, at the same time?
I understand it may be too soon to tell...
Signed,
High Expectations...

Since you're asking about Photoshop performance on the latest MacBook Air, you'll get more responses if you post in the Photoshop forum.

Does the 2012 MacBook Air overheat or get hot to touch?

I currently own the original MacBook air, and running a basic word document for like 20mins causes my MacBook to get really hot and the fan is quite loud. But I love the MBA so I was wanting to know has this problem been solved with the new MBA? Or does it still overheat. And how much can you do before it get really hot? Like can you run programs like CAD without it heating up?

Install iStat pro (download from the Internet) and it will display your MBA internal temperatures and fan speed. Then open Activity Monitor set to show 'All Processes' and '%CPU' to display values from High to low. Look for applications using a large CPU percentage. You may be experiencing a 'runaway application'.

***CALLING ALL MACBOOK AIR USERS*** Will the base model of the 2013 Macbook Air 11" be enough for my needs?

Ok,
This is my first post to this forum.
I have a Late 2011 i5 Macbook Pro. I used this last year during college but the weight was just unbearable. I have decided this year to upgrade to a Macbook Air. Here is my question.
I am starting uni and will be studying Nursing and so I will not be using any heavy software or progaming etc.
The only thing I will use is Office for Mac and browsing. I normally keep around 15 browser tabs open whilst I research.
I also like to download so I would also like Vuse on my Macbook too. I own an external hardrive and so memory isnt a big deal (unless it makes a difference to the performance of the mac itself, Sorry im not great with this stuff)
Do you guys think the base model of the 11" Macbook Air (1.3ghz, 4GB ram, 128GB SSD) will be enough for my needs or do you think I would need to custom build it (1.7ghz, 8GB ram, 128GB SSD)?
My boyfriend thinks for what im using it for the base model will be fine but I dont want to get it to find that its not enough as my main concern is lag but I also do not want to pay extra for something which isnt going to be fully used (ie my current Macbook Pro).
For those of you who do have the 11' Macbook air, how are you finding it? Also, this will be my main computing device, I am selling my Pro but am thinking of buying the wireless keyboard and trackpad so I can connect to an extenal monitor whilst im at home.
Thank you guys in adavnce for any answers.

I too have a 2011 mackbook pro and I also have a mid 2012 mackbook air 128 gb ssd and 4 gb ram , I am probably goint to sell the pro because I just don't use it anymore . If you intend to do heavy multi tasking 8gb ram as suggested by a previous poster might be worth the extra money.

How well does the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse work in a Multiboot system?

After a couple of weeks with working with the Apple Magic Mouse in my Windows 8.1 Boot Camp environment, I have been unable to find a solution for the Slow Connection Times that I am experiencing. Takes up to a minute before the AMM is able to connect and I can use in the Windows 8.1 system. (Yes, Bluetooth Collaboration is Enabled.) So I am now wondering if I need to look for a different mouse and return the Apple Magic Mouse. Anyone have experience with using the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse in both the MAC OSX and Windows 8.1 (under Boot Camp) environments.
How quickly does the Logitech connect to bluetooth on the Windows 8.1 side?
How much does the Logitech utilize the same gestures as in the Apple Magic Mouse in Mac OSX?
Anyone use or own this Ultrathin Touch Mouse?

Do you have a Mighty Mouse already? I don't think Apple sells the Mighty Mouse anymore.
If you're looking at purchasing a new mouse from Apple, you'd be getting the Magic Mouse, which is a multi-touch capable mouse. It's a really great mouse; I use one with our 21.5" iMac all the time. Respectable battery life, and it tracks much nicer than our older (wired) Apple Pro Mouse. No lag, no interference, nothing with it. We have multiple cordless phones (including a base station about 18" from the mouse and computer) and there is never interference. It tracks as well or better than a wired mouse.

Faulty logic boards installed in the 2013 MacBook Air?

Just discovered the logic board in my 2013 MacBook Air, only one year old, has to be replaced. Computer will not boot up. Anybody else seeing this problem?

squillo,
A logic board failure can indeed be frustrating! If the computer is within it's one year warranty or you have Apple Care, Apple will be able to take care of you at no charge! I have a few friends with 2013 MacBook Airs with no issues. Can you be more specific about the model. Most of the time Apple will have two to three release refreshes a year and the hardware is different.
Thanks,
Ludeth
