    RAM vs. CPU for Large Word and .pdf Files and 20+ Web Tabs

    My feeling is that more RAM along with the SSD should give you the performance you're looking for -- it seems unlikely that the CPU is the main bottleneck as it doesn't sound like you're doing anything that would require heavy processing -- more than likely, you're using up all your available...

    NAS? Or something familiar.

    I'm not an expert on all things backup -- especially when it comes to the mac, but from what I can tell, the Airport Time Capsule (nor any NAS or external hard drive for that matter) won't be able to directly back up your iphone or ipad devices. It may be possible to do so through itunes or...

    Which Home WiFi Routers Are We Using & Recommend?

    Seems pretty decent so far... Speed is much improved. Coverage isn't nearly as good as I expected considering we have the main unit and 2 satellite units as compared to our old single access point. I was hoping to have good coverage in our driveway as our old unit tended not to reach, but even...

    Anybody using their watch for serious fitness tracking?

    Hi bamf-hacker, and thanks for the response! Yes I'm well aware of the limitations of an optical-base hr solution. The Scosche seems to be a little better than your average wrist-based solution as it's normally worn on the forearm rather than the wrist (I sometimes wear it on my calf as well...

    Anybody using their watch for serious fitness tracking?

    Hi Ariza, Thanks very much for the response. My fiance owns a Watch 1 which I'm going to see if I can test out during my workout tonight -- that is if I can pry it off her wrist... She's very protective of it. I have an iPhone SE, so not a huge deal if I need to have the phone with me, but...

    Anybody using their watch for serious fitness tracking?

    I'm considering picking up the original watch since they're going for fairly cheap right now -- My requirements however are for a device that can handle at least semi-serious workout tracking, steps, estimated calorie burn, and notifications at minimum. I'm currently using a Garmin Vivosmart...

    Salutations!

    Oh and I forgot my 4th gen iPod which still works, but we don't use it much anymore.

    Salutations!

    It was brief, but enjoyable nonetheless! I would though like to point out that I owned an Apple product before she did! I have an old Macbook that we still use from time to time, and for work I have a Macbook Pro, so therefore I think I win something-or-other!

    Salutations!

    Thank you very much! She didn't actually try that hard... I'd dock her pay!

    Salutations!

    Hello all! I'm a new member coming from an Android background (last phone was the Samsung Galaxy S4) -- The S4 has been starting to act up and have some issues, and the iPhone SE is looking so svelte, that I think it's time for a new phone! I'm somewhat of a computer nerd and a pretty...

    So far these have caught my eye: CASEFORMERS Ultra Slim Armor Case elago Outfit MATRIX Aluminum and Polycarbonate Dual Case Caseology Envoy Series Leather Cherry Oak Or do I even want a case? Kinda seems a shame to cover it up, but on the other hand I don't want it getting all beat up. Hmm...
