My old laptop was vintage 2010, got hot enough to fry an egg, drained the battery in about 2 hrs…slow as molasses…
Jonathan has developed a FileMaker program for me, one table took 24+ seconds to load on the old laptop, the MacMini’s (vintage 2011)…both of these with 1 TB SSD drives….even the old model MacPro with 12 processors would take 14 seconds to load…but it also is old.. The new model does it in about 5 seconds….Cool.. But one of the features I love the most is the AppleWatch passing my code to unlock the laptop when I raise the lid. That seems like such a small thing but what a benefit…and if I walk away and it locks itself returning and the lid is still up I use the Fingerprint button to unlock…instantly…just like using it on the iPhone. Little things like this make using Apple products such a pleasure…so far I haven’t gotten used to using the Touch Bar but that will come. I like to brag on Apple, they get a bunch of negative press over nothing….by folks who love to pick at the color of the cap on a Coke.
