Which macbook is the best for programming?

Ive been doing some research but I cant really figure out what to get. Ill be using it mainly for programming (Python etc.), some minor photoshop and some basic web use. Im positive I want a 13 inch screen but thats really all there is to it. I love the design of the air but Im not sure if itd be able to handle what I want it to do? Itll be my first Macbook so Im not sure what other specifications to really look at!
thank you!

Storage space. You will be amazed at how much storage space photos can take up so compare them with that in mind.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

Hi, I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??

Hello Samrat,
It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take. This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors. You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role. Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what?? System development? Technology? Programming? Data Warehousing? Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world. We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc. Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue. There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is. There are lots of courses available in e-learning. I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start. Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
Good Luck!

this is what i have. now i know that it's not enough
If that's what you're using and it actually works, albeit slowly, I'd suggest taking The hatter's advice and go with the 6 core Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 5870 video card. The RAM could come from here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory

Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

Hi
I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
thanks

Hi there,
this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

I am considering getting an iphone... Which model is the best for me to get?

I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

I,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset. I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

All running on Wine 1.1.7, Oblivion is running around 150 mods, and QTP3, Body mods, High res texture packs for the character skins, with HDR lighting. As you can see the FPS does not change, it fluctuated between 19-20 on all three runs.
Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
This really did confuse me...

Which application is the best for video converter?

Which MacBook Pro application is the best for video converter?

Docs to go is a bit more polished i think. It has been around awhile on other platforms and the sync is very well done. It works more as an extension of your desktop. You select the files you want to sync. They can stay where they are on your computer. If changes are made to either they update when you sync.
Quick Office allows you to move documents to and from your iphone and Any computer on any network as well as your iDisk if you have MobileMe. It has a server built in. You just enter the web address into any browser and you can see the folders on the iphone. It will work with Word and Excel fine. It is tricky editing a spreadsheet on such a small screen but it can be done.
Docs to Go has a little bit better editor.
I guess it depends on whether you want to be able to transfer files to a computer other than your own.
Hope that helps

Which case is the best for the iPhone 6?

So I am just wondering which case would be the best for the iPhone 6. I know that there are plenty of different cases out there. And I would like to get one that doesn't limit the use of the phone. But I also need the case that's good with drops and what not. Not that I make a habit of dropping my phone.

Of course, "best" case is in the eyes of the person using the phone.
Some would say it is an Otterbox, others would say it is a case which does not add too much bulk, others would say it is a case which extends battery life of your device, my daughter says the best case is the one she thinks is the most attractive(and minimizes bulk) and jorgeo_vzw has given his opinion which differs from at least a few of these options.
My best suggestion would be to determine what your usage habits are and choose according to those habits. The best case will not be the same case for everyone.

Which software is the best for audio restorati

Which case is the best for my 30 gb 5th gen?

ever since i have had an ipod i have been trying to find the best case for it.
it seems that every case on apple has some monumental flaw in it that someone points out in the reviews (ex.) bad belt clip, no screen protector, scratches too easily, etc.) so my question is which one is the best??? which one works the best... protects the best.... and doesnt scratch my ipod a lot (i realize some scratching is basically inevitable)
please i need ur advice

Yes...scratching is inevitable so I opted for a versatile case with some form of screen/iPod protection. I'm trialing Belkin's Kickstand Case (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=253387) in conjunction with Power Support's crystal film cover set (http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/ipod/ip_5Gfilmset.php)
Plus: stand feature is really nice for viewing video. The user interface is functional with access to all buttons. One nice bonus is that is works really well with Griffin iTrip (the snap-strap holds it in place).
Minus: the case itself doesn't have a 'carrying feature' like others might for working out (armband, waistband) but instead comes with a caribiner clip. The crystal film set, when installed properly is invisible and will definitely protect from scratches (although the edges are exposed). One drawback to the film is that it can peel off if the edges get caught repeatedly (e.g. sliding the iPod in and out).

Which cover is the best for waterproofing?

I just bought a new iPhone 5s. I want to get a case that keeps out sand and saltwater. Which case is the best one in your opinion? I've found at the phone store that they recommend Lifeproof.
Thanks for your input.

I'm very partial to Mint and run it on all of my ThinkPads...
There's other good stuff out there, depending on what one needs/wants, but Mint is pretty much plug and play on most machines that I've tried it on...
Good luck.
