Yea that and another article with the same steps were what I was about to send to you. Interesting that you would have to do all that for it to backup to an external from the Mac. It seems long, but the steps really aren't that bad....granted this is coming from an IT guy about 9 years in that uses command line scripts and functions
You could just buy the 200gb for $2.99, backup everything, do your restore and then either keep the plan for future backups and such or just cancel it and pay only for the 1 month.
This is a solid option and would be cheaper than an external HD.
web development, photoshop. Just need it to be able to handle that and of course surf the web
Alright NT fam please excuse me ahead of time if I sound so ignorant or broadminded, I'm due for a new laptop and have always used Windows and now looking to try out iOS for a new experience.
Would making the switch be a good experience? What advantages do Macs have? besides how well-constructed their laptops are (from what I've heard).
So far, I like what I've been reading on how you guys are upgrading/updating your 2011+ laptops which I never knew you could do on Macs. While on the other hand, while researching on Windows, it seems like there's a new laptop/device every month (exaggerating) adding a bunch of new upgrades and features, when I want to avoid to spend money on getting "the best to my needs" when it'll be obsolete the month after by another company, or incompatibility with programs due to processor speed, built in RAM, or lack of durability on misc components i.e screen, speakers, keyboard, mouse pad (beyond annoying).
I would use it for browsing, streaming music/videos, maybe some apps, and compatibility with my phone (which AirDrop seems nice to have) for files and such without the need of third party apps or clouds, and especially battery life.
Educate me NT, haven't been keeping up with computers/laptops since smartphones came out.
So is the 750 evo just as good as the 850?I have the samsung 500gb for about a year now and haven't had any issues. Can't speak on the crucial one but I would imagine it's also a top notch company since they make ram as well. Should be fine with either one.
The thing I love about MBP is the ease of use. Since you have an iphone you're already going to sync up everything with no issues. Get a large enough hard drive with at least 8gb of ram and you'll be able to install windows on there and have the best of both worlds. If you can wait it out until the end of the year there is supposed to be a mac refresh at the end of this month. Can't really speak on PC's since I haven't used one since 2011

I went to the Genius Bar today and while waiting, I asked a worker when the new MBP is coming out, she said she couldn't say anything and for me to lurk on macrumors
When choosing a MacBook (or any laptop), what determines what level of computer do you need? I know if you do gaming and such, you would need the higher end one. But for a typical person, or me in this case, where I just browse online, look at videos, use MS Office, and Photoshop here and there. The heaviest thing I do is probably using File Transfer Protocol. With that said, I would never need the high end version, right?
My 2012 MBP is really gonna die soon. It heats up randomly and fan is super loud. I was told by friends and others that a typical laptop lasts about 3 years so I'm at 4 years flat on mine...guess I shouldn't feel too bad
