DrWho Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Apples hardware is top notch. Except for the two that came DOA this summer. That's TWO out of 17. Not very good at all. How long did it take Apple before they adopted the new iX processors? [A] But seriously, numeric computation programs run way faster in Windows, which is why programs like LTspice don't exist for Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Vista and 7 are pathetic POS... At least in the business work environment. What issues have you had? Just wanna be prepared for when they move us to win7 at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've been using Windows 7 since I got my new machine in January and I'm liking it. I got used to the differences pretty quickly. However, I don't know how much of the performance improvement is due to replacing my tired old XP machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2toobs Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Where you put your music? in a cloud? Apple TV plays movies, music, podcasts directly from your host computer, be it your laptop or desktop, wirelessly via Itunes. You can also logon to Youtube or Apple's servers to watch content on demand through the Apple TV hardware. This a great improvement in energy saving, running a computer for database, buy a product i don't need! and than have the ability to listen my music, because of a lousy programmer at apple and marketing manager who want big bonuses! Apple a green compagny, We want your dollar as green as they are! It sounds like you should switch to windows then, since they are "greener".

Marvel Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 How long did it take Apple before they adopted the new iX processors? Mike,Not sure when they made the first switch. They had Core Duo and Core 2 Duo series pretty early on (I have a 2006 iMac with a Core Duo). The newest iMacs at our school (27 inch, 3+ Ghz with 16 gig of ram, and quad core i7 cpu), are sweet. They just announced the iX series in the Mac Mini, which will be a welcome addition. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce I honestly looked at purchasing a mac book pro when I made my last laptop purchase, but nothing Apple had at the time could touch the hardware performance of a $900 dell.
