Which Is Better For High School, An Air or A Pro?

Which Is Better?

SSD drives are superior in many ways and would give the air another +1 of course you can always upgrade.
if size and budget are of no issue,  MacBook Pro Retina 15" would be invaluable to anyone student or not
I am using this macbook air:
1.8GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
128GB Flash Storage
and this macbook pro for my comparison:
2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

    Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

    The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
    on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
    The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
    specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
    low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
    it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
    a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
    Good luck!

  • Which is better for education iPad or Macbook air?

    I am a grade 8 student and I walk around quite a bit in school and I would like to know which one is better for me?
    Which is better for school, and no I can not get the discount.
    Macbook Air or
    iPad
    If macbook Air which size and specs would you reccomend?
    And if iPad which storage option, white or black do you reccomend?
    And should I buy the iPad 2 or the new one.

    Great question.
    Word processing for iOS is fantastic, but not as good for citations and things as on the macbook air, though footnotes will be preserved.
    The new textbook options on ipad are compelling. You should find out if any of your school textbooks are on there by searching the itunes store. If so, ipad is your choice.
    They are different categories of products. the macbook air is an excellent computer.
    But I guess I feel this way -- why don't you buy a desktop for the home. and an ipad for school? If you feel you can get all of your notetaking, paper drafts etc. done on ipad, then you can use mountain lion (coming out this summer) to keep it all in sync when you go home.
    I do have to warn you that I tried taking my ipad to work. If you use google docs at all, you may find some limitations sometimes. If you stick within the icloud universe, (pages, keynote, and numbers), you may be mostly happy.

  • Pro vs Air for high school?

    Hi, I'm currently in year 10 and my new school has a 'bring your Own device' program. Im considering the MacBook Pro or Air but am undecided. I like the fact th air is light, as I will have to carry it around. I also need a long battery life, for school. I want to be able to do my research and school work and well as social things like Facebook and music etc. I'm leaning more to the air but the more I read around the more confused I get. I would like to be able to use it until I finish school, maybe even into university years. Any advice on which to choose would be muchly appreciated!

    either one is fine for high school.  it's a personal preference at this point.  however, if you have some idea what you would like to major in when you go to college/university-then which one you chose may make a difference.  For example, a base model Air would be fine for an English major, but a base model Air would be inappropriate for someone majoring in Architecture or Engineering.

  • Which is better for physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

    Which is better for a physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

    Macbook Air
    I cannot see you using strenuous applications to help you with a Physical Therapy Degree.
    Have a think of whether you want an 11" or 13".
    I'd recommend the 13" because although the 11" is perfect for taking notes in class etc.; when it comes to performing as a desktop and not sitting on your lap, it can seem too small.
    The 13" is the best of both worlds. You can keep the portability and the power in one.
    Make sure you get a large enough SSD, they always fill up fast with documents and possibly downloaded text books etc.
    With the 13" if you decide to create a innovative project or a collection of photos, you can also use more RAM-consuming applications like iPhoto and iMovie, or even Aperture without worrying about freezing.

  • Which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ??

    which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ?? iPad air 2 or d macbook pro?? what abt iPad pro ?? plz suggest one for me plz

    Some educational site are behind the times.  At times, they require software that isn't available on the ipad.  You should visit an apple store and try the educational site with the ipad.  Considering that you have an iMac, I'd lean in the direction of the iPad.

  • Which is better for gaming and why?

    Hi,
    I was researching budget gaming laptops(around $1000, INR 55000) and came up with two choices.....
    1)HP Pavilion g6z-1d00 Notebook PC
    http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/A2B39AV?HP-Pavilion-g6z-1d0...
    2)HP Envy 14-2130nr Notebook PC
    http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/QE295UA?HP-ENVY-14-2130nr-Noteb...
    Could anybody please tell me which is better for gaming (main purpose and best performance)?
    The HP Envy looks great but I don't know much about AMD Quad Core.....
    Also, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on the HP Envy ( AMD Radeon 6630 to a better one) via a HP centre?
    It seems to run most games quite well, but I need it to be able to play new games for at least 4 years more (college), while not factoring in the costs for any possible graphics card upgrade....
    Please help!!

    Thanks Huffer _ very useful.
     I wasn't aware that there was a heat problem with the i7 processors, my dv8 runs at around 42 to 52 degrees, mind you I don't really put it under much load. I use it to play Blu-ray ISO files on my projector and for photo editing (Adobe CS4), it's an 820QM.
     I have also changed the thermal compound to ICDiamond and drilled holes in the speaker cover to improve air flow, that made a difference too.
     @ abhishekmaha
     Don't take my comment to seriously, although I think it has some truth to it, it was meant to poke a bit of fun at you. 
     Heat has always been one of the biggest factors when it comes to any computer, designers try to make them thinner, lighter and cheaper and those types don't work for gaming very well. They're OK for the occasional one, but not on a regular basis. I believe that if you game on any machine that was not meant for it, you will not get 4 years out of it _ 2 years.
     I wish I could tell you different, but I am not going to lie to you.
     Heat basically affects 3 things on a laptop, the solder that holds the components on the motherboard, any mechanical moving parts, eg the hard drive, fan _ and the battery. You can remove the battery to prolong its life when gaming.
     Heat breaks down the solder over time and the mother board simply stops working as far as the hard drive, it stops spinning because the tiny bearing(s) in there dry out and seize up.
     If you don't want to use a cooling mat then prop up the back of the laptop, hanging it over the edge of the table will expose the fan intake, but will block off other vents.
     60 degrees is a bit warm too, 50 is better or rather, the cooler the better. What ever machine you get, make a note of what the temps are when you first boot up and when it's hot. The idea is to get an average so you can judge when it is dangerously getting hot.
     P.S. Be sure and give Huffer a kudos too.

  • Which is better for your hearing?

    Got a pair of Yuin earbuds, and my problem is listening on a windy day. The wind creates a lot of bass rumble, making me turn up the volume. Canal phones sit closer to the eardrums, but would block out the wind so I could keep the volume lower.
    Question, from someone with a degree of hearing loss already: which is better for your ears? Earbuds at higher volume or in-ear at lower vol?

    I have 60% deafness in the right ear but also suffer tinnitus (loud whooshing sound) due to a RTA, but the left ear has excellent hearing. I have tried earbuds, headphones even a pair that you control the volume for both ears. None up to now have made any difference. On a windy day my left ear just compensates for the right, so I just hear in mono. To hear good sound, at the moment, it's best for me to listen to my ipod inserted into the Bose sound dock at home.

  • Quicktime Pro VS Sorenson Squeeze which is better for uploading to YouTube?

    I'm thinking of buying Quicktime Pro or Sorenson Squeeze - which is better for uploading to YouTube? Which would give my video better quality?
    Also, with regard to Sorenson Squeeze: The website says these are its requirements - could someone explain what each of them means in logical terms?
    Mac OS X system requires:
    Power PC with G5 processor or greater or Intel processor - (I'll be using this program with a MacBook Pro - will this work?)
    Mac OS X 10.4 or later - (Again, will this work with a MacBook Pro?)
    512 MB of RAM
    QuickTime 7.2 or later
    DirectX 9.0b or later (What is this and how will I get it? Is it free?)
    * Mac users must have the Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream (Is this plugin free?) ** Windows only feature * Plugin sold separately
    Please be as specific as possible.
    Thank you so much in advance for answering my questions! It is really helpful!

    First.
    You have no control over the conversion to Flash video (done during the YouTube upload) if you use QuickTime .mov format.
    Second.
    YouTube does allow H.264 Video for its "high quality" display so you would want a QuickTime .mov container.
    Now you are even more confused than when you started.
    Flip4Mac allows export from QuickTime (and apps like iMovie that use it) to Windows Media Player (.wmv) formats. They will also be converted to Flash Video by YouTube so you gain nothing by using it.
    You don't need Squeeze, QuickTime Pro or the Flip4Mac upgrades. Just use iMovie 7 (part of iLife '08).

  • Discount for High school students

    I think it's really cool that college students get discount for spotify but it would be great if high school students could get the same thing , it would be amazing to being playing music wherever we want for a low price and since I find spotify better than pandora. $5 is extremely affordable for high school students and a lot would sign up for that price if that was an option

    I am 17 and currently attending highschool as a senior.
    I agree 100% $9.99 per month is kind of steep when you have a $9.10 /h job and paying for gas/insurance/food/housing/etc... I don't have anything handed to me at all. Sure my parent's will buy me a see's candy once in a while, but I am paying for most of my things now. My job pays for ~~ 90% - 95% of my necesities. that would leave me short. 
    Here is a pitch:
    Mind of a teenager ~ 10 dollars per month would add up to 120$ per year I use this.... that's a problem.
    -after the fact-
    Mind of a teenager ~ $5 per month!! omg that's only $60 per year! sure I'll pay for that.
    Honestly I would garentee you my 5$ per month if I had access to premium. $10 is just too much.
    I can tell you that I know many highschoolers who would agree with my point and say that the sales would be exponential.
    talking business:
    I would expect (based on comments and suggestions from friends and information of who I know as a highschool would also subscribe) expecting 30,000 highschoolers per small state and 50,000 highschoolers per large state.
    currently to me it seems only 5,000 or 10,000 highschoolers per state own spotify. (most people lie about information on "free sites")
     

  • Ipad for High school

    What iPad is best for high school?
    Reqirements: Not Allowed iPad Mini must be full sized, 4th Gen or air, runs IOS 7 apps (Compatible with IOS 7) Fast internet browsing.
    What Sized GB is recomended?
    P.S Mac 1 Site is a place for purchasing, wollongong.  http://www.mac1.com.au/
    Thankyou, Domi24

    What type of school are you going for; what are the requirements you are going to be allowed to run. How long are you keeping the iPad?
    If it's light use and only for research purposes, a low GB would be fine
    If you plan to use it to store content and school related infomation a 32 may be needed
    If you need to create videos; or store larger files 64GB
    128? That's heavy use....Need more details on WHAT YOU need.

  • Macbook or iPad for High School?

    I can't decide whether to get a macbook air or iPad for high school. (Sorry I didn't know what 'community' to put this in)

    If you have a full computer at home you can use, then an iPad would probably be a great adjunct; highly portable, fine for taking notes, doing email, doing research on the web, etc. If you don't have a computer at home now, then I'd recommend a MacBook, either the Air or the Pro. An iPad is a fine device but there are many things you can do on a full computer that you can't do, or can't do efficiently, on an iPad.

    all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I

    more than other versions...

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..
