Hi Tom, I do have Parallels but it’s currently running windows 7 I think. I think it would be a good idea to get windows 10 and install it with Parallels and see how that works out. Like you say it would be a better comparison then. OTOH, now that I realize I have a slow laptop, it gives me a

Hi John, I don’t know whether anyone has already mentioned this, but you might consider installing Windows on your MacBook Pro. That would make it easier to compare apples to apples (ha! I made a joke!). Anyhow, you can use Apple’s Bootcamp to install and run Windows on your MacBook or you

Hey Chip, Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I tend to bury my head in the sand when it comes to hardware. But now I need to pull it back out so my perspective is correct. Appreciate, John… > On Mar 8, 2019, at 2:49 PM, Chip Scheide <4d_o...@pghrepository.org> wrote: > > in speed order >

Hi Ken, Yea I’m beginning to see that the windows laptop is a lot slower then the MacBook Pro. So maybe I do need a newer laptop just for testing purposes. Then I can see how fast it will be across a range of processors. I want to know what the potential user base will experience so I can

Hi Randy, > Processor: i3 vs i7 Is it really that much slower? If so then I got duped as I thought I was getting a reasonably faster Laptop 6 months ago. Thanks, John… ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive:

Hi John, The i3 only has two physical processing cores, each of which may operate with two logical processors. Logical processors running on one physical core are no where as speedy as two physically independent cores. Also 8-GB of RAM vs. 16-GB of RAM certainly will affect throughput.
