The last MacBook I saw had USB3.0 host ports. But that was in 2014. I have not yet had the opportunity to play with the new MacBook Pro models. But I’m sure that there will be, or have been, changes. I’m equally sure that the MacBook Air is due for a revamped model shortly, inline with the more

The battle between Apple and Samsung is perhaps the most public one, a piece I read the other day pointed out just how complex the market for Smart Phones has become. Whilst - as you say - Apple and Samsung seem to get all the PR attention there are other manufacturers - notably from China - w

I was referring to the battle specifically between Apple and Samsung who, I think it’s safe to say, are the two most widely sold phone manufacturers. I won’t comment on other manufacturers as I’ve no experience. Regarding MacBook, they use USB3.0 and the new Thunderbolt 3.0 standards. Although U

Hmm.. interesting. From my perspective - having deliberately made the decision to use another brand outside the square when it comes to Smart Phone - I nod my head in agreement but I would also say that I don’t think any particular company has an edge here and really the people who do have an ed
