    My 2010 macbook 13"

    My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

    Change to MB Air, Tablet or Chromebook... Advice sought.

    Seeking feedback. Currently have a 2009 15inch MacBook Pro. Upgraded memory, replaced HD and battery. I hacked the OS to keep up w/ the updates which Apple doesn't support anymore. Runs like a tank but know will fail eventually. Would I be better off replacing w/ a tablet, or MB Air...

    iMac, laptop and slide presentations (Powerpoint)

    I'm nearly at that exciting point where I can buy a new Mac to replace my mid 2009 model. I'm going to go for an iMac but I'm dithering over a Mac laptop ... and I can't afford both. The main use of the laptop would be for slide presentations (Keynote > Powerpoint). Does anyone know if it is...

    Cheap laptop for using Word

    My wife is looking to get a cheap laptop meaning sub $500 that will allow her to use Microsoft Word for work purposes. We have a Mac Mini at home now but she uses a PC at work so I kind of wanted to get her a cheap laptop just to be able to use the same version of Word when she occasionally...

    Best 13"+ Chromebook, Dec 2016?

    I'm considering picking up my first Chromebook. I've been surveying what's out there, but it's frankly a confusing mess. Dozens of listings on Amazon for what look like the same computer, wildly different prices each week, models "discontinued" left and right, but still listed on the...

    Chromebooks outsold Macs for the first time in the US

    Greetings, So apparently, Chromebooks have managed to sell more than the entire Mac line in early 2016. What are your thoughts on this? Keep in mind that Macs and Chromebooks are very different products with very different price points. Currently, I think Chromebooks are good enough for people...

    Windows 10 on Chromebook -- install help?

    (This might not be the correct forum to post this in; this forum seemed to make the most sense to me for some reason.) I'm planning on buying a Chromebook, but to hell with ChromeOS, I'm gonna install Windows 10 on it (have you seen the prices of those high-end Windows 10 PCs?). So, thanks to...
