Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Slow OS X performance generally means it's time for a clean install. At the very least try an NVRAM reset (Command-Option-P-R at boot until it chimes thrice). My Mac Mini 2010 with HD and 8 GB RAM is doing fine under

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Apple's and oranges, pun absolutely intended. This is as good a comparison as any. For horsepower you need a 15-inch MacBook Pro, but on the other hand, it's not really clear to me why you'd buy surface wh

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 I fully agree.  I personally don't use any more than two USB-powered devices at once, but I can understand the inconvenience of being confined to just two ports.  I'm not too impressed with the touch ID capabil

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 All valid points on the ports. Alright, 2 usb ports on the mbp2015's a nuisance, but getting a usb hub solves that problem as long as it's high-powered. But Apple should not have gone usbc without providing ha

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Jack, you brought up another good point I neglected to include -- the introduction of the USB-C ports and the removal of MagSafe power adapters.  Two more reasons to add to the list why I'm thankful for gettin

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Hi,Surface all the way for me.I got to play with a 2014 air running windows. Right next to that was a surface 3 pro (not the 4).The air ran hotter (and I mean, when the processor was maxed out you could hardly touch th

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Well, I guess one reason for not providing a touchscreen is because of the already existent multitouch, now force-touch, trackpad. But I agree, a bigger dedicated screen would've been nice. As for the touchbar,

Re: Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 I think surface book wins in my opinion, so I will purchase it, with Surface studio as my Intel I7's computer replacement. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid

Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016

Microsoft's Surface Book VS. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 Hi folks,Has anyone checked out the new Microsoft Surface Book and the new Apple MacBook Pro?I have to say, I'm quite disappointed with Apple's attempt at a new release of their notebook.  Between the touchbar that r
