Computers / Macbook Pro Vs New Surface Pro 2017 by Datevilme: 2:08pm On May 29, 2017 |
Although the new surface pro was announced not long ago (May 23) i couldn’t help but compare. It is available for pre-order anyways. Now, we all know the Mac-book Pro offers awesome performance coupled with an attractive minimalist design. However, Microsoft came up with surface pro series, obviously to suite users who want to have a Mac-book pro like laptop with a windows operating system. Personally if i were to choose one, i would have a hard time, so i did a comparison between both… Design The Surface Pro features a cool hybrid design, meaning it can be used like a tablet and like a regular laptop. It comes with a 12.3-inches screen size. With an elegant design, it has a body thickness of just 8.5mm, weighing only 768 grams…incredible right? Kudos to Microsoft to making a laptop weighing under 1 kg. The Mac-book pro, unlike the surface pro comes in 13-inch and 15-inch screen variants. On the newer Mac-book Pro models, there’s an option to add a Touch Bar: a OLED strip that replaces the row of function keys on a standard Mac Book Pro. The strip shows different function keys depending on the app you’re in. So, say you’re using Photoshop, you’ll get relevant shortcut keys…cool right? The Mac-book pro weight 1.37 kg and has a thickness of 14.9 mm. So, if you are going for a sleek lightweight hybrid device, the surface pro wins it, if however you want a more traditionally designed laptop with a tested and trusted design, then go for the Mac-book pro. Specifications While we can say that both devices have a high-resolution display, In numbers Microsoft’s surface pro is higher. It features a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels with a 276 ppi pixel density compared to Mac-book pro’s 2560 x 1600 pixels and density of 227 ppi. For processors, they both use Intel’s 7th generation Kaby Lake CPUs. So we can say they are relatively equal on this regard. For storage, both devices come with 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB options. However the Surface pro also ships a 128 GB variant, perhaps for the cloud enthusiasts who do not need too much space. For memory, both devices feature 8 GB and 16 GB RAM options. Once again Microsoft’s edge however includes a 4 GB option. Apparently, we can say the Surface pro surpasses the Mac-book pro in hardware specs…in doubt, read on… The surface pro has a primary and secondary camera 8 mega-pixel and 5 mega-pixel respectively, which are capable of capturing full HD (1080p) videos. The Mac-book pros however, feature a single camera, capturing only up to 720p videos. The Mac-book pro does not have an SD card slot, which the Surface pro has, along with a mini display port. Battery life…surprisingly, the Microsoft surface pro kicks butt here, boasting a 13.5-hour battery life, compared to Apple’s Macbook pro 10-hours. Pricing Well, i think it all comes down to what you want or rather what you are willing to pay for. Both devices come in many different configurations, causing a variation in pricing. The most expensive Mac-book pro will cost you about £2,699, while a high-end model Surface pro will cost you about the same price with the Mac-book. In comparison, the cheapest Mac-book will cost you about £1,449, while the Surface Pro will cost about £799. In Summary: Both laptops are great to use in all aspects, but if you had to pick one, it will ultimately depend on your preferences. From the comparisons we made, we can say that: Design: While both devices are very attractive, what is most obvious is that the Mac-book pro is a Laptop, while the Surface pro is a tablet/laptop hybrid. Specification: Both devices offer almost similar configurations, however the surface pro beats the Mac-book pro in Battery Life, Better camera quality, and more flexible port options. Pricing: Going by the cheapest variations of both devices, we have to say the Surface pro is more pocket friendly. However, the high-end configurations of both laptops are pretty much at par with each other. So, what do you think about both laptops, which one would you choose? http://techguy.ng/pick-one-mac-book-pro-vs-surface-pro-2017/ |

Computers / What You Should Know About The Chromebook by Datevilme: 10:53am On May 23, 2017 |
So, i was having a conversation with a group recently, and i made mention of a Chromebook laptop. From the look on their faces, i could tell that i had lost some of them, it was almost as if i stopped speaking English for a moment. Perhaps its just the word "Chromebook" that is yet to register in the mind, this is one of the reasons i decided to put up this post, basically, this is what you should know about the Chromebook What is a Chromebook? We can think of a Chromebook as an internet dependent laptop. Yes, it was designed to work optimally with an internet connection (which should actually be basic by now). It is really a different breed , compared to what we are already used to (Windows/Mac based laptops). What OS does it run on? It runs on Googles web based chrome operating system (OS). Because it is designed to work with an internet connection, most of the Chromebook's documents and applications are stored in the cloud. Google in its usual kind nature provides 100GB of cloud storage for every Chromebook. Why Chromebook? I believe almost everyone enjoys the convenience of accessing your documents from any computer or even your mobile device anywhere with an internet connection. Even if anything happens to your system, you can be sure your data is safe. Chromebooks are very easy to use. When you turn on the Chromebook, there is no setup needed, you just simply need to log into your google account, and that's basically what you need to get started. It also has a built in anti-virus protection that updates along with the Chromebook, so you will always be protected. It also promises long battery life. What if I'm Offline? The Chromebook has got you covered, all of googles applications have the option for you to work in an offline mode, then changes are synced and saved when you come online. What About My Videos And Music? You can store and play your music on the 100GB cloud storage, or on the Chromebook's internal storage, just make sure you've installed the Google Play Movies & TV and Google Play Music extensions from the Chrome Web Store, you can also switch this applications to offline mode to keep enjoying your music and video experience even while offline. Basic Specifications Chromebooks don't really standout for their specs, which is actually the way Google intended. Typically most Chromebook Laptops ship with: RAM: 2GB - 4GB Storage Size: At least 16GB Upwards Processor: Chromebooks mostly offer entry-level processors that can easily handle word processing, emails, and movies but lag in more sophisticated procedures like running 3D games and managing several tasks at once. Screen Size & Resolution: Chromebooks come in Large (14-15 - inches), Medium (13 - inches) and Small (10-11 - inches) HD screens. Majority of Chromebooks have touch screens, there are also the convertible ones (Fold-able to be tab like) Who Makes Chromebooks Chromebooks are manufactured by the major and popular laptop names we are all familiar with, these include: HP, Acer, Dell, Asus, Google, Haier, Hisense, Lenovo, LG, Samsung and Toshiba. Limitations If you depend on typical downloadable windows software, such as Photoshop, or other high end video editing software, then the Chromebook is probably not for you. Although there are web based equivalents, but we can we really consider them viable alternatives? Can The Chromebook Be Your Primary Computing Device? Yes and No...it depends on the use, ask yourself these questions before getting one. How comfortable are you working with web based applications? Are you willing to evolve from the traditional to something new? With the stated specs, can the Chromebook support the kind of applications you work with? So, would you get yourself a Chromebook? http://techguy.ng/what-you-should-know-about-the-chromebook/ 1 Like |
