I'd be happy if Apple could actually fix the pervasive problems with Wifi across all different versions of OSX. Years have gone by and still many report the same old problems month after month, year after year.
LOL it's probably the fancy metal case screwing up the Wifi signal!
If Apple thinks or wants to be the best, then they need to get their stuff together, & start making stuff that actually works. I'm not the only one whose iPad screen no longer rotates & has to wait 2 seconds when waking the tablet up.

So you are saying apple makes stuff that doesn't work?
Sounds like you have an Ipad and not an apple macbook pro...
Is this true?
If so, can you see why your opinion on Apple macbook pros is not very useful?

I haven't had the best experiences with my iPad & iPhone. I updated my iPhone 3GS several years ago & immediately lost all external sound. This happened to many others also. No fix either. BROKE. Had to get a new phone. Sorry, but I value my experience. I don't care if you do or not.

Yes. Plus an old iPhone. There's been a lot of talk about Apple in general here.

Not really. It's amazon. Do people actually rely on Amazon reviews anymore? I know I don't. There are a lot of tech websites that I go to for reviews. Not amazon with a good portion of the reviewers being fake and paid off.
If we go by amazon, I'm not sure the anti-chromebook or anti-windows opinions in this thread matter then. Look at all these 4+ star reviews. Better reviews than the Macbook Pro.

I was engaged in a conversation with 'well let's see' as well as 'let's just see.' Again, like I said above, there's been a lot of apple talk in general here. Read the thread.

What don't you like about the macbook pro?
The price for starters.
Though, it's a far better deal than the Macbook & sadly if one were looking at a Macbook, it's the only one worth looking at. I wish the others were better. The Air looks dated, & the screen sucks for the price. Macbook, like I said is really overpriced & slow (from what I've read). The Macbook Pro with a retina display is the best option money wise of the 3. Apple just needs to drop the price of it.
I've also heard complaints that it bogs down quite a bit through the years.
Based on your experience owning a macbook pro, when did it start bogging down?
How do you like the Mac OS in general compared to Windows?
What computers are better than the macbook pro in your opinion?
Hollman is a real computer guru. He services windows 'puters.

He does? So I probably shouldn't buy a macbook pro.
Holloman how long have you serviced windows computers?
What is the best computer right now?

Yup. An 8-YEAR OLD MacBook Pro. AND the OS is a FREE update.
I see what you did there. What's free about a $1500 laptop?
You are right about the OS support, only when they don't and that's why my customers are SOL.
The chromebooks aren't bad and they aren't windows. That's a bonus!
Here's a company that's been selling pre-installed Linux for quite a while. It's much more the future of computing than an Apple or Windows product.
https://system76.com/laptopsI think Dell sells some of their product with a Linux image.
So OP what are you going to get?
And I didn't say fellowship of accelerators. I said fellowship of thinkers.
I'm not sure what dustin said, and he may have a point, but I've learned that it is a terrible idea to follow his advice because his motives are destructive.
You have a team of great thinkers who want to lead great change. Trust their opinions. If they don't lead great change, your company will fail. You have a team of entrepreneurs. This type of person doesn't thrive with mediocre work. Not only do they not thrive, you are at the greatest risk of losing some of your best assets because they will seek a greater challenge.

Whattttt......tttt??????? ... is free about a cheap-plastic chromebook?
Since we've introduced Linux into the mix, a Chromebook can run Linux XFCE, KDE and Ubuntu using a program called Crouton. I've used them all, but I'm now running Ubuntu Precise Unity on my ASUS 13" Chromebook alongside Chrome OS. Ubuntu is free and it doesn't need virus software.
It boots up in 23 seconds. Battery life is about 10 hours. It takes an additional 40 seconds to load Ubuntu. I can then toggle back and forth between Ubuntu and Chrome in less than two seconds. I seldom need to use my Chromebook offline, but when I do, I just toggle over to Ubuntu. If you've used Linux Mint or Ubuntu, it's pretty easy to figure out how to use Crouton to load these OSs on a Chromebook. There are lots of YouTube videos explaining the process.
What is the point of all of these different operating systems?
Are they more reliable or make the computer faster?
There is no point to multiple OSes. People who like jumping around from OS to OS, and updating each one regularly, are hobbyist. They spend hours a day keeping everything running when they could be having a real life instead.
The whole team will help and I will be there soon to work f/t on it.
This is a team where we learn from each other. We don't expect one person to know everything about how to do their job and understand that we are all learning. We support, advise, and believe in our partners.
