Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

The one thing I get repeatedly is the system log in messages. I’m using a watch to unlock though so that could be why. I’m not sure about the other issue you raise. SSD drives just make things load faster, much faster so reading form the disk is much more efficient. That’s the best way to

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

Scott, Something that occurred to me here is that Voiceover speaks elements its still focused on until a new app or window is opened. In other words, say I boot up and wait a while, then open Finder. VO does not immediately refocus quickly, it will speak what it is still focused on a

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

It will be a while before I have a spare $249. :( Have wondered about this. Windows offers a defrag tool which I used in versions prior to 7. So macOS has no such facility? I reckon I can do it someday and use Carbon Copy Cloner. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Without H2O there is no life!

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

I have replaced a standard with an SSD and it makes a huge difference in performance as well as voiceover. One important thing as well, remember as time passes on the mechanical hard drives the data becomes less and less contiguous. This is why reformatting and restoring once in a while makes

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

Did you a standard hard drive with the SSD? I am more and more curious to know if a lot of the Voiceover chatter would go away because the Mac loads things faster. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Without H2O there is no life! ancient.ali...@icloud.com On 10/17/2016 11:36 AM, Scott Granados

Its too bad Apple does not consider memory above 16 to be worthy. Well I am putting a 1tb SSD drive on my Santa wish list. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Without H2O there is no life! ancient.ali...@icloud.com On 10/17/2016 11:29 AM, Scott Granados wrote: Hi E.T, I would highly recommend the

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

Hi E.T, I would highly recommend the SSD upgrade. Will make a massive difference. On the memory side, I believe it was 2013 when the change took place. The Laptops are all built this way, I believe the IMac is still upgradable via a small door on the back. > On Oct 17, 2016, at 2:25 PM,

Re: New Macbook Air for Christmas

Scott, When did Apple switch to non removable memory and does this apply to all Mac models? I have a mid 2012 which I upgraded to 16 but at the time did not know I could go higher. At this point, if I do anything, it would be an SSD drive. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Without H2O

Kevin, I’m with you and I wish you could take the MacBook pro up higher as well. When the memory was removable I was able to upgrade a 2011 model to 32 GB. Would be nice to have 32 or 64 in the current line. > On Oct 16, 2016, at 5:43 PM, Kevin Chao wrote: > > I wish

Screen size doesn’t bother me since I am a full time VoiceOver user. My Macbook Pro is 13 inches anyway so don’t need another 13 inch mac at this time. > On 3 Oct 2016, at 09:41, Portia Scott wrote: > > Aww that is so awesome. I have the base 13 inch model from 2014, and

If you can, try to get 256GB instead of 128GB. I've used a 64GB, and my sister currently has a 128GB. The space just isn't as much as you'd think; a couple movies or a season of a TV show and suddenly you're getting the "startup disk is almost full" warning all the time. It's just me, but I'd

New Macbook Air for Christmas

Hello everyone. Well just thought to let you know that for Christmas I will be treating myself to the new 11 inch Macbook Air with base configuration: 4 GB RAM, 1.6 GHZ processor with turbo boost up to over 2 GHZ, Intel Core i5, 128 GB pcie-based flash storage. Since I have an old, but very
