Is it worth purchasing a MacBook Pro 2017?

Is it worth purchasing a MacBook Pro?

I owned a Windows laptop which was about 10 months old when I decided to buy a MacBook Pro. It was about 1.2 pounds lighter than my Win laptop, 2x more powerful and 3x more expensive. I had to take a call, is it really worth investing? I did my research before buying it, I will try to go over the qualities I thought are necessary in a laptop.

1. Speed

I am combining a lot of ‘speeds’ under this, the processor power, SSD read-write, boot times, apps loading, excel-word processing etc. I did a quick comparison between a friend’s MacBook Pro and my old windows laptop. I cannot even compare the two, mainly due to different CPUs and drives, but MacBook Pro was going to win anyway due to hardware edge it had.Gihosoft iPhone Data Recovery https://goo.gl/LF7B13 Gihosoft iPhone Data Recovery is a professional iPhone Data Recovery software to get back all your lost text message, photo, video, call history, note, contact and more from iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

2. Reliability

My old Lenovo laptop had a flimsy construction overall. The hinges would squeak, the keyboard would make weird noises, CPU fans would start screaming with a bit of number crunching, the screen would flicker for no reason. And mother of all evils, unexpected restarts. I hate it when it just crashes in the middle of nothing. I tried on a library MacBook Pro for varying intensities of loads. It passed with flying colors. It is needless to say that MacBook Pro has the best in class build quality. I haven’t had a single issue with the hinges so far.

3. Screen

Let’s just admit it, let aside the newer 4K displays, MacBook Pro’s retina display hands down beats every possible display out there. Color reproduction is accurate. You don’t feel the images to be washed out or over-saturated. You can open it any time and you will still feel the freshness in the colors displayed. I like it. Some people like the newer 4K displays. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one of those yet, so I can’t compare how it stacks against those.

4. It just works

MacBook Pro just works! It seems to have got the right balance of everything. It will never scream. It will never die on you. It will not display weird errors. It will not crash. You don’t have to worry about installing the right ‘DirectX’ or the right ‘Visual C++ Runtime Environment’. You don’t have to find out which anti-virus is the best and pay for it every year. It just works!

5. Battery

10 hours. That’s what I have been running my 2014 MBP 13 every day on a single charge. My oldie would die on me in 2 hours. I have never taken my charger with me to school. It saves the amount of weight I carry around in school. It reduces the number of things I take in my bag. I can fit everything in my bag easily.Win Piriform CCleaner Professional Giveaway (10 x Full Licenses) support by GroupBuy SEO Tools https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Mention this giveaway part on your blog, and send us link at doogeetop@gmail.com, you can a chance get free Piriform CCleaner Professional V5.30 license.

• Step 4: The app will instantly resize the picture & crop instantly. & the best thing about it is that, without losing anything from the picture, the full picture could be used as the DP. The picture will not be harmed in any way I mean it won’t affect the picture.

Elephone W2 Unboxing

Wearables are all over the market, but the Elephone W2 is a little different as it uses traditional watch movements with a few smart features that sync with your smartwatch or tablet.

Elephone W2 first impressions

The W2 connects to your device (with Android or iOS) via Bluetooth and is set up with the dedicated Elephone W2 application (available on Google Play).

Like similar wearables, such as the Mi Band, the main features of the Elephone W2 are to simply count steps and monitor your sleep, but there are a few additional features.

The fact that it has Swiss watch movements means the W2 can actually display the time, a huge advantage over the Mi Band. The Elephone wearable also offers remote camera control, and a battery life of up to 3 months.

Included in the Elephone W2 packaging is the watch, a strap, screwdriver, and 3 batteries (one already installed) plus there’s a quickstart guide to get you up and running.

The straps simply clip in to place, and the screwdriver is to take off the rear and replace the battery. With 3 included batteries you have 9 months of use without needing to buy another, just be careful when you unscrew the rear the screws are very small and easy to loose.

Three controls on the W2’s stainless steel body include a power switch for Bluetooth (the top button). A dial to set the time (in the middle) and the final button is for changing modes and seeing your exercise progress through the day.

LED lights on the face have blue, green and red colours. Blue being sleep mode Green means the watch is on or is synching data a red means low battery.

Although the metal body feels heavy and looks bulky in the hand it looks fine once the strap is attached, and on your wrist is is really comfortable.

The Elephone developed app is also surprisingly good too and setting the watch up on my OnePlus X was super straightforward.

I’ll be wearing the Elephone W2 watch for the next few days so keep an eye out for the full review coming very soon.
