Re: [OFF] Hardware advice Was: 4D World Tour 2017
If it was my personal money, I'd probably find a used MacBook Pro from 2014 or 2015, fully loaded. If the purchase is part of a budget, I'd wait for the forthcoming "Kaby Lake" revision to the MacBook Pro along with a dock/hub. I have the entry level 2014 13" MBP with "only" 2 cores and 8 GB of memory, and it's perfectly fine for Mac-only (no VM) use. 16GB and an SSD is plenty to run Windows + 4D + Parallels comfortably. -- Jeffrey Kain jeffrey.k...@gmail.com > On Apr 5, 2017, at 1:41 PM, G-Mail via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > Jeff (and others that went to seminar - actually anyone): > > I am thinking I will splurge and get a new computer as my current one is a > 2011 MacOS Laptop.

(Albeit with a swapped out mechanical drive for an SSD). The SSD + an Acer H277HK 27’’ monitor made more difference than 8 years of Apple advances and now runs like a dream ;) Peter ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
