#APPLE MAC PRO FOR BUSINESS PC#
To put it in automotive parlance the pc with windows is the ubiquitous Ford model A. absolutely no WINDOWS and absolutely no Mac's here. and no I wouldnt ask a windows guy to use a Linux desktop to do dev work if they had no experience on a linux distro at all.Īll this being said where I work we are a 100% linux shop. It's all about picking the right tool for the intended task. for standard user doing basic tasks you choose Windows, for creatives and Adobe suites you might pick to use Mac's and further if i'm setting up developers to do any type of coding i would be choosing a linux distro and a few added tools like Atom or Vim or Latex or gedit and then add git Need authentication for your company most likely you are looking at Active Directory or Apache Directory or LDAPĪt the desktop level this works as well. When I want to spin up a DB server I think of MS SQL or Oracle DB or MySQL or Maria DB or any host of DB to fit the task. When I think of spinning up a web host, i never think IIS because there are so many better tools to use like NGINX or APACHE2. the same works in IT, you pick the "best" tool for the job. The cux of this argument is this, A craftsmen knows that he or she has many tools in their cabinet to pick from and they choose the correct tool for the job at hand. What if you want the OS but not the hardware? The other larger issue is you don't have choice in hardware. Open Source, cost effective software.ĮDIT: Saw this today. Heck, I think we're going to see Linux as the contender to Windows in the enterprise here in the next few years. My time is better spent here at the office, not running out to the mall for PC repair. When a users drop, spills, or otherwise damages his laptop, Dell comes to me! Next biz day and repairs it! Warranty is also half the battle, without it you can spend more time trying to get the device repaired then its worth to buy a new one. You also can't get them repaired easily, I need uptime. Heck, there are a ton of ultrabooks out there like the HP spectre. I can't understand spending loads of money when a XPS 13 has better ratings by laptopmag over current gen Mac laptops under what you spend for a Mac. I see Mac as a status symbols in today's world, pretty and shiny, form over function. But this should get your needs sorted for the next 5 years.PC, at this point I can't think of any true business need that a Mac can only do. We say that about almost every Apple device. The Pro is an expensive but excellent product. The speakers - although not as great as the ones on the 16-inch MacBook Pro - sounded remarkably good and far better than any we have seen on a 13-inch laptop. Routine tasks were handled without even breaking a sweat and there were no heating issues either. We did editing - not heavy duty - of images on LightRoom and some video editing in Affinity and encountered zero issues. Having said that, the performance of the new Pro is consistently great. It is a bit of a surprise to see slightly older hardware options in a new MacBook Pro. You can get the 10th gen Intel Core i5 processor or an 8th gen Core i7 processor. The processor configurations on the MacBook are many - and confusing as hell.
#APPLE MAC PRO FOR BUSINESS UPGRADE#
The base storage variant now gets an upgrade and starts at 256GB. The 13.3-inch LED display remains sharp and crisp but there are others like HP that offer an OLED display in this price range. But for those who like to plug in multiple external devices, a dongle might be a good idea. It speaks volumes about Apple's design philosophy that even after four years or so, the MacBook design looks and feels minty fresh. In terms of design, the MacBook Pro isn't different from the Apple laptops launched in the past couple of years. The trackpad remains one of the best in the business and there is also the TouchBar, a feature that has, sadly, not grown on us but retains a fan following. The keycaps are sturdy and there is ample travel time between the keys. Starting at Rs 1,22,990, it comes with an all-new Magic keyboard, which is quiet and extremely comfortable to use.
