Using MacBook Pro TB 2016 version. Got it earlier this month and so far I really enjoy it. Web browsing, Youtube and movie is no complaint with the retina screen either.

Only things is to backup my pen drive and format to FAT system otherwise I most my excel read only and I can't saving any new files into it.

u can format to exFAT but also other ways

if wanna use NTFS and gain write access, install paragon NTFS for mac

vice versa as for windows, install paragon HFS+ in windows to gain read/write access for HFS+ format hdd

if youre using iphones and ipad along with you then a macbook will come very handy..

exFat is not a good format to use, it is not compatible in a lot of devices.

install third party tool to manage NTFS in MacOS is a better option. NTFS is more widely recognized format afterall.

bro,
beside Paragon advise by Bro Fridaus, what program do you use?

that is one of the best one already

depends. if old system sometimes cannot read. but win10 and latest macos sure no issue.

I am not talking about computers I am talking about those home appliances.

depend also. if one wanna use pendrive or external drive. for external drive not recommended to format fat32.

u cannot transfer files more than 4gb if using fat32.

I never recommend fat32 I never recommend exfat as u suggest instead. At this century, no one should even think about fat32 in the first place.

Many home appliance or computer devices like tv, wireless router, cloud storage etc all do Nor recognise exfat but NTFs is certainly not a problem.

Since it can only be recognised mostly in computer systems, it is not useful file system if one is to use it across different systems.

that's why NTFS is the best file system to use. Since macOS or other OS can recognise it natively for read at least but Windows does not recognise hfs even for read without third party tool.
it is way easier to just stick to NTFS for everything and just make macOS capable to write on it.

parallel need to pay in order to get it right?

You need to buy the program if that is what u mean .. YES

Yup, i mean that..need to pay in order to get the program/app and it is not cheap..

For.common use just buy the cheapest macbook air

For normal use get the MacBook Air will be good...

If you buy Toshiba Canvio portable hard drives, it comes with free Tuxera that enables your Mac to write to NTFS file formatted drives

being using SSD for years...
not going to get HD anymore..
i hv severalmHigh Cap SSD can be use as external drive..
currently using 512GB SSD as my Macbook backup..

Careful bro. My SSD once died on me before. Once corrupt, percentage to recover data are very small.

same to our macbook also or other laptop... all also using SSD now..
that why i seldom use more than 2 year for my laptop or any external drive...
i keep changing every 1-2 year for all things that involve storage..

Did u get your MacBook yet
