Video: Changes to the MacBook Pro we want Apple to make
I found myself using Windows apps for sometimes, mostly games, and other that I can’t find a good alternative.cgWerks said:
Yeah, though the UIs (Mac & Windows) are a lot deeper than a customizable shell that makes them look similar, or have things in a similar place. I'd have to try it out, but it has always been a bit to raw rather quickly for me, even at the OS level before getting into the apps. But, yes, if you get good with shell commands, it's certainly powerful.DuhSesame said:
Well that’s the kind of thing for xfce. I’m running Linux Lite on my old laptop and is virtually no lag. I customized the xfce to be more like a Mac rather than Windows (which having a global menu, put window buttons on the left, having the main menu on the top-left), but it’s complet up to what the user want it to be.
You still have to type a lot shell commands when necessary though, but as long you’re getting used to it, it’s pretty efficient. Wine (the program that run Windows applications) works better than my Mac.
re: Wine... do you mean it runs Windows apps better than using something like BootCamp or Parallels on Mac?
In other words, you run Linux, but then mostly use Windows apps?

2016 MacBook Pro butterfly keyboards failing twice as frequently as older models
I’d think that butterfly mechanism will lasts longer than those previous generations, giving that the rubbers aging quicker than stainless steels.
That said, there are switches that’s more complex than the butterfly, yet they still lasts very long if you can take care of them, so I guess it’s primarily the production quality that kills it, not so much on the design.

Akitio Thunder3 10G network adapter adds 10 gigabit ethernet connection to MacBook Pro, iM...
Wow, no wonder why we won’t saw 10GbE controllers in mainstream PCs.dreyfus2 said:If this delivers the advertised performance, it is quite a steal. ATTO's TB2 to 10 GbE adapters sold for around $1k.

Pretty much an entire PCIe card in-a-box.Soli said:I'm glad to see there's an option, but I'm a little surprised its size.

All models of iMac Pro shipping to customers, 14-core models now arriving
When will you guys do a thermal test on both 18 and 14-core version? It will runs whole lot hotter with more cores.Mike Wuerthele said:
If you're in the market, it's REALLY hard to argue with the $500 off deal that B&H has running now, and the $1000 off at MicroCenter that runs periodically -- assuming you have one near you.macxpress said:
Yes I'd like to see what the iMac Pro refurbs will look like price wise. I bet they go fast when they start becoming available. Refurbs are actually a great way to get a deal on a Mac if you want to buy directly from Apple, and they're typically just like brand new. You can even add AppleCare to them which some people may not know. You just don't get the fancy looking box they normally ship in. I have a refurb 2012 Mac Pro tower and you'd never know it was a refurb. Its a great computer...no issues what so ever.gmgravytrain said:I'd really like to get a 10-core model iMac Pro this year. It just seems more practical to buy an iMac Pro than a full-CTO version of a regular iMac if I'm going to keep it for five years or more. It would be nice to grab a refurbished iMac Pro later this year.I'm guessing April on refurbs.
