Hey Ted,
Thanks for that feedback. I will have to look at the Outlet website. And,
thanks for confirming what I had kinda figured - that the i3 is essentially
equivalent to the Celeron line of Chips - and I will probably just stay away
from them.

Leland - I gotta say - that's a funny reply. And, yes - I sure do remember that
scene from the Movie with the item that was on the Dog's collar! Good stuff
indeed.

Also, apple's hardware is usually top notch; because, Apple uses top of
the line component in assembling their products, and quality counts.

Jeff,
VMWare FusionFX is the Parallels equivalent but in my experience more stable
and with better performance. We are on Version 10 (Soon to be 11) now and I
have used it since Version 6. With the exception of Version 9 it has always
been better than Parallels... and cheaper! My Windows 7 and W
The MAC would be okay if it had a decent VM. Parallels had terrible
performance. Someone on this thread mentioned that Windows 10 worked
better. Is there an alternative to Parallels? - Besides a dual boot.

convertible and depending on the price I might think about it.

Just yesterday we reformatted a Sony Vaio laptop that was taking an age to
reboot. Using Autopatcher it took about 40 minutes to reformat and get up to
speed with all updates from SP1 (Windows 7 64 Bit). The boot speed is now
excellent and it has become a useable working machine once more. My ow
If it were only about those 60 seconds then I think you would have universal

I don't get this, my Dell will boot Ubuntu in 60-70 seconds. Then my
laptop will be on all day, unless suspended, coming up from suspension
takes about 3 seconds. Why would I spend hard earned extra money to save
60 seconds on a 10 to 16 hour day? Doesn't make sense to me.

We send between 10-200 addresses (or Lat./Long if we have them) and allow the
user to select the ones needed and place them on a route. Then they optimize
the route for driving directions and save the map. The software then reads the
data part of the saved map and updates our files. Wes Wilso
Although the Macbook Pro only has two usb 3.0 ports, it also supplies
thunderbolt ports, (eg https://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/).
Apple, as a company, owns both the hardware, (eg macbook pro, iphone,
ipad, etc), and operating system/apps, (eg OS X Yosemite) sides of its
business. This allows
1. Lots of memory, or the ability to add more at a reasonable price.
2. Backlit keyboard - most useful for those dark winter nights coding!
3. Bright screen - lots of laptops lack in the brightness department.
4. Ability to add an SSD in place of the existing CD (if possible) - Most of

And also being aware of the external video ports/options. Few things are more
frustrating than going to hook up your external devices and realizing the video
output uses some magic adapter that you didn't buy.

+1 for the USB ports, one thing that the Macbook doesn't supply in great
quantity i.e. only two!

If I was buying one now I wouldn't consider anything less than an SSD

Thanks all for your participation!
OK, to summarize, we have:
- a thumbs down for System76 components, especially keyboard,
- thumbs-up for Dell Precision Workstations
