Comparing the Dell XPS 13 9370 versus Apple's 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
/vadimyuryev said:tjwolf said:You mention the XPS has double the SSD storage - but you didn’t give any information about their relative performances. Not all SSDs are created equal. Personal example: started a new job last year and they gave me a super powerful Lenovo Windows desktop w. 64gb RAM and a 1TB SSD. A complete build of our application - very IO intensive activity - took 15 seconds. Very fast compared to my colleague’s hard disk based times (30+ seconds). When I needed to replace it with a laptop, I got a 2017 15” MBP with 16gb RAM and a 512gb SSD. It builds the same application in 7 seconds flat. Because the SSDs in Macs are the fastest on the planet. -
Why Apple's Siri needs to become an 'ambient' ecosystem to compete against Amazon & Google...
I really hope they improve Siri. I love Apple but Siri is now the worst product they make. Like why does it give me a visual response to an auditory question. If I'm asking an auditory question in the car it's because I can't look at a visual response. It's sad when even Cortana is better then Siri. I'm hoping the HomePod will change all of this and make Siri what it can be.
