QUOTE(yan7 @ Feb 6 2015, 11:38 PM) hi all happy new year, i would like to purchase a macbook pro for iOS and android developement, the apps i going to built are similar as saas, website software like system... excluding games, i am not going to create games so first. the latest model is MGS2ZP/A. the price is quite high, if for future used up to 5 /7 years, i am ok with it. any senior mobile programmers can give any golden advice pls? thx I would recommend to build a hackint0sh if you can if you are very serious about having a high-end desktop that can run OSX and pick up a copy of OSX - then you can have something light as air if you want to code something quick |

Now looking for cheap Lightning-VGA cable.  you can get the old mini display port to vga adapter , it would still work backwards compatible , apple sells for RM 99 , Iknow u can pick up from all it for RM 39 |

QUOTE(Xiia0Ban @ Feb 8 2015, 03:52 PM) That'll be great. Will go to All IT and buy the adapters and wireless mouse since the apple mouse doesn't support Windows. It does work anyway, apple mouse works with windows - its just that you don't get fancy scrolls and all FYI I am using apple mouse in windows and it is working well |

QUOTE(deric79k @ Mar 7 2015, 06:52 PM) Thanks for advice , normally need check on wat? Any advice? got link for any 2nd hand macs , post em here and i can advise QUOTE(Townshend @ Mar 7 2015, 10:58 PM) First things first, make sure you can turn it on. Then, check the physical condition, battery, trackpad, keyboard, USB ports, DVD drive, and make sure the owner have removed his/her Apple ID from the Mac. Good read: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/tips-and-checks...a-used-macbook/I'll write a guide on how to purchase 2nd hand macs anyway some time tomorrow or this week |

QUOTE(silent9z @ Mar 30 2015, 04:59 PM) Im interested on getting a latest version of MBP retina, however this statement on RAM/memory category caught my attention " Please note that the memory is built into the computer, so if you think you may need more memory in the future, it is important to upgrade at the time of purchase." Wonder the RAM is not exchangeable? the rMBP lost the ability to have upgradable memory - I love my cMBP (2010) - you could swap the hard disk out and the memory out My recommendation since it is soldered and if you are going to use it for a long-time and it is your primary machine , upgrade to 16GB , if you have a powerful desktop computer or another computer , stick with 8GB |
