Mac users?

As much as I dislike Crapple and there products I believe that I have to get a Mac for work :/
I was wondering if any of you guys had a Mac and how is it?

best decision you can make trust me I have had to MacBooks and a mac mini. My Macbook has been nothing but great for college no slow starts, its there when you require it, will not freeze or let you down when you most need it. Theres less malware viruses ect for it so you feel a little more secure. Apple support is a plus this guys will fix any problem you have within warranty and aslong as you did not brake anything on purpose. Besides you can install virtual machine and run windows 8, xp, vista ect its like you have two computers in one.

Or you could build a hackintosh for home. Sandybridge has made building and using one with lion a piece of cake. Under 300 bucks for a nice mac mini performance machine. It's funny how people won't admit to owning any apple products in these threads for fear of being pounced on. At least this section seems better than most.

What kind of job do you have that they would use mac? Macs suck at business stuff

I have a MacBook unibody the one before the retina display have never had any problems. I recommend going to the apple store and trying them out on display.. Besides most people don't like Mac and yet they have never owned one.. So just try it out because what matters is what you want not what me or some one else likes... If you have a question just let me know Id be glad to answer

I work in IT and use them all the time. Actually fixing one right now. And from an IT stand point Macs are no good for buis. And you can run multiple OS's on any PC. That is not a Mac thing they just advertise it because they know you will need windows for something

Once you go MAC you don't go back to "PC"
been in IT since 1982.. been on MAC at my home office for 4 years now. I have 6 laptops of my own and 4 MACS also. 2 mbp, 1 macro, and 1 new while unibody for daughter at college.. I have serviced all pc's from Southern Cali to Washington DC. I have yet to fully need to break down a mac any place ... only hard drives if that. When I repair PC'S laptops at Colleges its always a windows' machine. The reason I switched over was the virus issues with PCs and the constant WTF i need to update today before I start working on my PC. Sure they both have trojans and mail ware. But PC's have viruses and MAC's do not. Meaning PC's can be made inoperable by malicious software a lot more often were as MAC will be used as pons in a greater hacking plan with implanted trojans.... but still operate. Many times without the user ever knowing. Last reason .. economics... take a look at the income scale of MAC user's .. usually a lot higher than your typical PC user. By no means am I saying PC users don't make more money than MAC users.. just are usually in my field experience in a more lucrative high paying career position than a trade "job". Granted you defiantly have infinite more options of software and best of breed hardware options building PC's. If you want to do what you want how you want .. build your own PC box. If you want to power up and get to work on the reason you power'd up every time you power up with out having to restart our machine after using it for extended periods of time opening and closing apps.. going in and out of hibernation/sleep mode for days on end..... MAC is the way to go. .................... on last note.. the pc are great .. mac's are great... the internet is bases off UNIX not DOS. MAC is based off UNIX. If dos went away.. PC would rule hands down. truly its not the hardware man.. its the software that's the issue. I for all OS's merging closely into one within the next 20 years... each upgrade of windows it becomes more MAC. its just how it goes. even Ubuntu with its unity desktop is following suite as well. out of all the computers in my home only one 2 year old Sony has Windows 7 Ultimate on it to flash my GPS and Pimped out Epizzal 4G's Touch..

Did you guys know that in a few years windoze will be releasing Microsux X ... I had to contribute!

Switched in 2010 and haven't looked back since. 2010 MBP upgraded to 8Gb of RAM and a 256Gb Crucial SSD, its been plenty fast, and loaded Win7 on it, but recently pulled that off and put XP on instead.
I was so impressed with it when my PC bit the dust I replaced it with a 27" iMac.

Lol just do Hackintosh. I have one and it beats the crap out of my friend's mac. Go for SB-E and then buy an IB-E cpu.

ALL AT SAME TIME. AND THE MACHINE JUST KEEP SAYING "BRING IT!! BRING IT!" no lag what so ever!.
Sorry PC's.. since I'm not a big PC gamer.... My switch has been a long time coming.. I wish they would start the IM A MAC / PC commercials again too funny.. but all of them true. LMAO.:highfive:

No it's not true because you're comparing computers with intel processors that are far superior to all its predecessors. I can do the exact things you stated with my Core i7-920 machine with no hiccups as well because the jump from Core 2 duo/quad to first gen i7s was 20% increase in performance on average. 2nd generation and 3rd generation are 10-20% better than the first gen nehelams (depending on task).
It does not matter if it's a PC or a Mac. You'll be hard pressed to make any modern CPU from Intel or AMD choke in any way unless you're doing the most demanding of tasks where intel completely dominates.
An updated windows 7 machine from a QUALITY manufacturer (not the cheap hp/dell stuff in retail stores) will last as long as any MBP. There is a reason the commercials stopped. It just didn't work anymore against the improvements in Win 7.
Also i live in the state capital of CA and have family with seniority positions within the gov't and let me tell you. Even though literally everyone has an Ipad...
Out of the thousands of computers, I did not ever encounter mac's in huge quantities. Only windows or custom OS's.
Side note #1 - MBP's use SSD's which allow for insanely fast response times.
#2 - They do get viruses / malware and are usually the fastest to be hacked in any hacking competition due to extensive security vulnerabilities that they take forever to patch which is also one of the main reasons the PCvMac commercials stopped when MS got its act together.

Mac desktops are PCs... You know a personal computer. Just like Dells, HPs, Sony and the like. OSX is pretty but I'm not paying an arm and leg for a name brand. It's like Air Jordan sneakers. Every year its the same hing different colour higher price. Sometimes add some need giltz and glam.
Sent from Konnor the E4GT.

Just bought both an MBA 13" 2012 edition and the Asus Zenbook UX31A. It's my first time using a Mac and I've been a pro-PC person all my life, but I can honestly say that the Air is better than the UX31A, which is the top Ultrabook out right now. The specs are pretty identical, but this is a lot more intuitive and they are basically the same price.
But since this thread is about Android phones, I'll say that I usually just run Parallels to Windows 7 for my Android stuff because I CBA figuring out how Heimdall works instead of Odin haha. Otherwise, I think it's basically the same. Macs are pretty good with automatically finding drivers.

ubuntu-xperia ?

Times get really interesting now ! i wounder how would run ubuntu on xperia s ?
so any comments?
if next nexus come with ubuntu that means android 5 is going to be ubuntu ? I make that assumption because android=linux+java+(google)
That is not good deal neither for Microsoft with the compatibility issues between win 8RT / windows 8 mobile and normal windows 8 will be buried alive :silly: or Apple will not be happy without their HERO (what was his name ...? MR Jobs) first real test !!

Android 5 will not be Ubuntu. That doesn't make sense. Android is Google. Ubuntu is Canonical. Different companies. Just may be different options on equivalent hardware.

And Ubuntu is not run by a JVM. Other than the Linux base, there are almost no similarities.

The idea of using your phone as a computer you could plug in anywhere is really interesting. It certainly is powerful enough. I have an ancient 300MHz iMac which can happily browse the web (no flash) and carry out simple tasks such as word processing, so a dual core 1.5GHz phone should have no trouble.
I can certainly see a future where our phones are our only computers.

Agreed. I can see desktops turning into cloud-operated dumb terminals first before going away completely, and everything being run off mobile devices and wireless peripherals. Phones+smart TVs will be more than enough; in 10 years we will look at desktops the same way we look at mainframes from 50 years ago (just think of how much progress in telecommunications and computing has been made in just the past decade).

That's not what he meant.
Desktops will always be more powerful, however I do feel times are changing, shifting more towards cloud based.

The only relation with Ubuntu and Android is the lynix kernel. Apparently with minor changes to the kernel at a hardware level you can make it run both.
The Ubuntu OS on a mobile was cool enough. Now that they have a mobile side I want it even more. What they have done is create a full mobile pocket Ubuntu PC. Its not replacing or merging with Android. Though from what they said it can be used with Android as well. So if you want Android mobile with Ubuntu while docked you can do that to. If both can co exist it could be great for their future. It also looks like the only big requirements are unlocked boot loader and some good devs to port it.
This should be very interesting and very well could replace the average home computer or for those who need to pack light on the go and still need a full pc experience. But I agree the tower is long from disappearing. A mobile will never be capable of running fluid dynamics, CAD, or high end graphics and movies stuff.

This only works if you only use a computer for consumption purposes. Ask anyone who has tried to develop from a mobile device what they think of it.

Of course, using a phone will have it's limitations, but with a screen and keyboard and terminal access, a phone could be used instead of a computer for most activities people actually use computers for:
Simple office programs
Internet browsing
Games
Email
Phones are capable of all of these things, but nobody likes squinting at a tiny screen or typing out long documents on soft keyboards.
That's pretty much it. We're not all programmers or computer scientists!

And this is pretty much what I meant.
I can understand mobile computers and thin clients taking over the mainstream, but desktop computing's not going anywhere for people who do heavy lifting work on a computer. And even when you talk games, surely you don't mean a top tier one. Like I said, there is a physical limit to just how much you can cram into a mobile device. You're trading off a considerable amount of power for portability.
I wouldn't trade my couple years old PC for any mobile device, no matter how advanced it is, and I'm even taking the Win8 Intel mobiles which is, for all intents and purposes a PC.

Ubuntu for Android?

(Hey I did a little searching and research before posting this so dont yell at me.) Ok so I wanted to know if anyone knows how to get Ubuntu for android on this phone because with the smart docks hdmi and usb ports why wont you want to run a full desktop with the insane amount of power this phone has! I went to the ubuntu page and its for companies trying to sell it and I googled and nothing came up. Any help?

There will *EVENTUALLY be a true Linux OS "adaption" out for the GNII... but if your speaking more along the same terms as those that dream of running a true Windows (but Ubuntu) on an android cell phone then id say remoting in to your actual desktop is your best bet... with the experience of knowing what up to date CPU's require (and the limited resources even our beefy GN2 has to offer) that it will be awhile before android devices can harness a true windows/ubuntu/mac platform

Some people think, and not saying your one, "well if my Laptop is dualcore but my GNII is Quadcore than my phone can outperform my laptop"... this is entirely untrue and unless someone can truly harness the potential of GNIIs quadcore then its a mute point (edit - "moot" point).. eventually an adaptation will be availble through dualboot... but without proper internal configs, a theme would do you better (which is why I suggest remoting in)

Wish that Samsung being the world leaders in memory production and distribution they are would be paving the way of much higher memory. You think they would.

If your like me and can't stand having all your backups on your phone/sd card taking up alot of space. Then this is a good device to have as you can still have your backups or whatever you like with you at all times. For me there's been a time or two where my Rom was working just fine but after a few hours out of the house my phone would lock up and keep doing it. And my backups were at home. With this device that no longer is a problem.

Oh yeah. This is something I'll be picking up.

Mac & Android

So android and mac don't play well together. Apple doesn't allow mtp to work on mac and google have not updated their android file transfer app in ages and it's extremely buggy. What apps and methods you guys use to make your life easier? I have been using an app called handshaker, it's a decent app but still not as simple and solid as plugging your phone on windows.

Install windows using boot camp. Problem solved. Best of both worlds then.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I dont want to install windows as i have a macbook air with 128 gb ssd and dont want to waste 30 gigs on windows since i dont really need windows at all.
the main problem is neither apple nor google is concerned with this matter which kind of sucks. i know there's probably a very less number of people using androids and macs together but i'd still love to see some solid solution.

Yea! I've been living with this problem too! Handshaker is nice. But transfer speeds are damn slow.

Well after 20 years of using Macintosh and about 5 of using android, the only way to get things working properly to install windows. Either using boot camp or parallel desktop emulator. Those are the only two fool proof solutions sadly, like it or not.
I agree, android transfer is completely crap for Mac. Having to disconnect and reconnect all the time in order to get one out of three times it works.
It used to work fine on Sony Z1 using 5.1 but marshmallow seems to be the issue to me.

This is sad. I gave up my Mac 2 years ago after trying to get a replacement screen for a 2010 Mac book pro and they told me $400. Bought a touchscreen Dell on sale for same price, windows 10 free upgrade, better processor and RAM, SSD, etc... Apple has always made a sleek looking, good product, but their lack of support without shelling or a ton of cash is why i left their desktop/laptop products. Android is why I left their phone products. They will probably never make anything to work with an Android device unless you pay them. Strictly apples to apples (pun intended).
I do hope you find a solution, cause I was thinking about replacing my wife's I Mac with a newer one, but if I can't use it ever, I'm going to find another win 10 machine.

I just use "File Manager" from cheetah mobile, downloaded from play store. Turn on wifi transfer, type the IP it shows you into your browser or ftp client, transfer files at 10-100x the speed of mtp.
Of course, both devices need to be on the same wifi, which isnt a problem in most cases.
Im sure some other file managers out there have the same function.

That is outrageous! And the unibody design was so easy to work on, seriously, 9 screws and you could do anything your self. The price I was quoted was for just the screen, the installation I was going to do myself. Unfortunately, at the time I was looking, there really weren't better prices floating around. I was finally lucky enough to find a decent priced screen just this year, resurrected my MBP and daughter is using for school.
One day people are finally going to realize everything they (apple) make is from China, costs them nothing to manufacture, then they markup like 400%. People complaining about the EPI-pen lady, but she just took a look at a business model and decided to copy it... I'm personally very happy to give my money to a company like one plus where they obviously markup the price, but just don't rip you off straight out the gate, and then make you pay out the nose if something goes wrong.
Haven't had a single issue with my old OnePlus one, which is also under the control of my daughter, and my three is phenomenal as well. Samsung is also another company I'll never give money to in the phone department. My brand new note 3 bezel broke after I put it in one of the "authorized" cases they had. Asked them to fix, and they tried to charge me a ton of money. But the Samsung TVs, wow, no one can compare, so they've got me hooked there.
After writing all this I guess I'm just becoming some sort of hippie or something. Just tired of the greedy companies taking advantage...

That is outrageous! And the unibody design was so easy to work on, seriously, 9 screws and you could do anything your self. The price I was quoted was for just the screen, the installation I was going to do myself. Unfortunately, at the time I was looking, there really weren't better prices floating around. I was finally lucky enough to find a decent priced screen just this year, resurrected my MBP and daughter is using for school.

I agree with you. Companies like oneplus and xiaomi have proved that good products can be made and sold at resonable prices. Samsung is same as apple, they launched note 7 at 60k inr which is equal to 900 usd.

Good to hear you found a solution although you had to pay for it

i tried a few apps like this but in the end nothing is going to be as solid as plugging you phone to your pc and start transferring.

To each their own. Ive never had a single problem transferring files this way. On the other hand Ive had problems with plugging it in an using mtp, either with drivers or just how ridiculously slow it is.
The wifi method, theres no drivers involved, is about as fast as you can get regarding transfer speed, and I dont even have to get off my chair to find a cable.

I dont mind paying if the solution is rock solid.

Airdroid will do same job.

I've used airdroid but i didnt really liked the apps interface, i tried a few others (dont remeber the name) apps like it. I'm really loving commander one, its simple and clean and since it supports mtp mode its as easy as it is in windows to tranfer your data.
