Which IPad model should I get?

Hi,
I am considering buying an IPad for school and I don't know what to get. I need help choosing which one I should get.
I have concerns for these things:
~ 3g or Wifi only? I have no Internet at home and no other sources for Internet. I currently go to a family members house to use Wifi.
~ IPad or IPad 2? I do not know which one is better. I am currently leaning towards the IPad 2, but I would like a second opinion.
~ 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb? I only put apps, a few TV shows, music, voice memos, and notes currently on my iPod touch (32gb).
~ Where should I get it? Should I buy it over the Internet or in-store? If I buy it from the Internet, I will most likely buy it from the Apple Store.
~ Can you engrave it in a store? Could an IPad be engraved when you buy it from a store and then be shipped to you?
--thank you for trying to answer these questions!

Which Macbook Air should i get? 11 or 13 inch model

Im 14 and i need a new computer. Mostly i use my computer for browsing, email, twitter, listening music, youtube and sometimes gaming. I like light laptops that i can when im in my bed, when im laying in sofa,... But now i cant decide what model should i get 11 or 13 inch model. I hope u guys can help me.
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
I think that the deciding factor concerning which size to get would be how you intend to use it. People who tote their macbooks around alot, such as sales people or executives (road warriors) and also students who need to take their computers to school, surely would benefit from the smaller 11inch version. In your case, if you are going to use it in a comfortable environment, such as in bed, or on the sofa, the larger 13inch model would be more beneficial,especially if you watch videos and play games fairly often. Even if you lug it around a little, to Starbucks or a friends house, or take it with you on vacation once in a while, I feel the larger model would be suitable for you.

Which iPad Retina should I buy in the US so it will work in the UK?

I am going to the States next month and want to buy the new iPad there. Which iPad Retina should I buy in the US so it will work in the UK, the AT&T or Verizon model? I'm probably staying with O2, but can't tell if different models are sold in the UK, or if its just the one. If just the one, I can't find which model number it is for the UK. The apple store website isn't exactly clear on which model(s) is/are sold in the UK.

Hi,
We don't have cellular, but I have often read many ques. and answers here just for my own info when we were first buying. I do know that in the past, Verizon had a different system than ATT and others. That could all have changed with LTE. I checked a couple of articles and found the following links which might help you. PLEASE NOTE these were published in March and May of 2012, so things might have changed with the new ipad 4. Also note that you can buy a cellular here without a contract that you could then set up with your own UK phone company.

You also said you wanted retina display and then said you were probably staying with 02. If by that you mean the ipad 2, I want to let you know that the ipad 2 does NOT have the retina display. That would mean you'd have to get the old discontinued 'new' ipad or the ipad 4. And if I were you, I would not even think of buying an old 'new ipad, even if there's a great sale on them. I'd go straight to the ipad 4.
Make sure you do as much research as possible.
Hope this helps.

Which MacBook Air should I get? 13 inch or 11 inch

I want a MacBook Air for Reaktor 5, uploading videos to YouTube with iMovie, stuff I cannot do on my iPad, games (Assassins Creed, Bioshock), web browsing, etc. Should I get the Refurbished MacBook Air 11 inch 128gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i7 2.0 ghz, or refurbished Macbook Air 13 inch 256gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i5 1.8ghz. I am 12 years old so I need something more portable than the MacBook Pros.

If you can afford, buy a new MB Air 13-inch with 256 GB storage and 8GB RAM.
Otherwise go for "refurbished Macbook Air 13 inch 256gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i5 1.8ghz".

Which iPad model do I have? No models listed on back. Purchased new two or three years ago. Settings, general, about says model is MD529LL/A. Is it just a plain iPad mini?

Which iPad mini do I have? Purchased two or three years ago new, and Model listed in settings, general, about is MD529LL/A and capacity 27.4 GB so that would be a 32 GB? No model listed on back. I assume it is simply a mini but I would like to know the specs.

Thanks for your reply Niel. I had concluded the same thing prior to seeing your post. The way I solved it was to look on the back of the iPad mini BOX which I had saved! The thing that threw me was that the model listed on the device under settings, general, about was MD529LL/A but on the box it says my model is A1432 and my PART No. is MD529LL/A. I checked out your link and it was one character off from my actual PART No.
Thanks for your trouble.

Which MacBook Air should I get?

Somebody wants to buy me a MacBook Air as a present because I will be doing volunteer work starting in January helping some disabled people learn to use Macs on Sundays.
I wonder which I should get.
Does anybody know the difference between these two models (see screenshot - it's Japanese, but you should get the gist of it). One has 256 SSD and one has 256 "Flash Storage." What's the difference? Is one just an older model?
Should I add a little extra and go for a Pro model?
This would be a "2nd computer" for me for travel and when out of the office. My main computer is my iMac.
Opinions welcome!
Thanks,
Doug

Get the 2013 model much better
2013 differences:
2013 model has 802AC wifi, much faster
dual mics
cooler Haswell processor
longer battery life
id call Apple again to verify the models are the same, I dont speak Japanese, but from the pics, you can tell, because the 2012 dont have dual mics on the left side, 2013 does

Which mac mini should I get to setup osx server

Hello!
I run a small development team though we are fairly new at working together and we're trying to setup an efficient development environment for us. I've recently stumbled on to 'continuous integration' and had heard that a Mac Mini server can go a long way toward reaching that goal.
Keep in mind, though we're iOS developers and are technologically competent, none of us have server admin experience.
Unfortunately the latest update to Mac Mini does not have a server model. That leads me to the following questions:
1) Should I purchase an older mac mini that is already setup as a server? (aka, Mac mIni server)
2) Should I purchase one of the newer models and install OSX Server myself? I heard it's cheap off the Mac App store, so price is not a concern, but I'm not sure what the tradeoffs are of getting one that is already a supposed server, and setting one up myself as a server.
3) If I do purchase one of the three newer models, how do I know which one I need to support our environment? Lower cost is obviously better, but I don't want to short change ourselves on the required power. We would use the server mostly for file sharing, collaborating, code repos, CI, etc. We have a website that we host on Godaddy and I would move it to our server if I could, but this is low on the priority list.
I'm also open to options such as, do none of the above and wait for a new Mac mini server model to come out, but I'm anxious and want to get started
Thanks so much for your help and advice!
Frankie

A server model is NOTHING but a 2nd 2.5" HD and the OSX Server APP
buy a quad core mini (on sale now at best buy), and purchase a 1TB Hitachi ($65) 7200RPM HD off ebay
and purchase the server APP from the APP STORE.
OR, just find a new or used server model 2012 Mini
dont even think about fooling with the new 2014 Mini. Lost cause.
I use godaddy as well, and ergo have NO need for a Mini server, even though I own 4 Mac Minis.
godaddy is cheaper and easier ......you should possibly consider the same

Which cooling pad should I get for my MacBook Pro?

Which iPad 4 should I buy if I live outside the US and I want wifi Celullar

I want to buy the new ipad from apple.com, i live outside the US, which carrier should i select to work celullar outside the us? or do i need to buy one factory unlocked?
thx...

Did you read the specs I linked to? All iPads have a sim card slot for local sim cards regardless of where worldwide. Again, a local carrier must offer local iPad data plans and a local sim card.
The Verizon, etc. carrier designations only have significance in the USofA where two networks are avaialable, GSM and CDMA. In the USofA if you subscribe to a USofA carrier using CDMA then you must purchase the iPad designed to use CDMA. But again and per the specifications, any post iPad2 iPad, GSM or CDMA will work worldwide on GSM networks.

Want to get an iMac. Budget - $2000. What model should I get?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am new to iMac. Want to get one between $1500-$2000. What kind of software and hardware do I need? I had a Dell before and AT&T is my Internet service provider. I also connect the modem to my HDTV for videostreaming. I have a HP scanjet G3110, do I need to buy a new scanner? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Ann Chan

Ann,
I strongly recommend that you should visit an Apple Store and speak to one of the sales consultants there. They can help you choose a machine that suits your needs and answer all of your other questions.
Without having any idea how you will use the computer answering which iMac is best suited for your needs is impossible. If you don't have an Apple Store in your general area then you can either visit an Apple reseller or call Apple's online store. You can find the online store's phone number by visiting the store's home page and looking at the bottom of the page and clicking Contact Us under Customer Help. Because we don't know what country you are in we can't simply give you the phone number.
