I heard from somewhere that your calls are recorded on school laptops and schools can go back and watch them. I personally don't believe this is true but I want confirmation. Is this true?

Soon I'm going to study computer science at uni, so I need a MacBook Pro but I want to know which of these models would be the best for me. They are both the same prize €1999 and both 13". 1. Macbook Pro 2017 without Touch Bar 2.5GHz dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo...

Hi, I'm starting college/university in September and I'm overdue a new laptop and I've decided I want to get a 13" Macbook Pro (without touch-bar). However, I'm not sure whether I should/need to upgrade the processor, memory or storage of the Macbook, or keep it at the basic model; being the i5...

I am a HS student with a MacBook Pro 8,1 I have found this machine quite capable in the past years and have relied heavily on it for... just about everything. However, I now need to start carrying it everywhere, and needless to say, its been a bit heavy for my liking. Should I go out and get a...

I'm a high school teacher and have been mirroring my iPad screen via AppleTV for several years. All my students have iPads, too. Works great and allows me to walk around the room while teaching. Two things that have really annoyed me about iOS 11 thus far: 1. To disconnect screen...

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2015 with 256GB of storage, and I am unsure about how much storage should I partition for Bootcamp Windows 10. I am planning to use this for programming in Visual Basic (Going to install Visual Studio 2017 Community). I think the sweet spot is 50-55GB but what...

Hello, my high school has recently gone one to one which means that every student is getting a MacBook Air. This is great and all but I have a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 15 inch and using a 2015 11 inch MacBook Air for things like photoshop, lightroom, and illustrator feels like I'm working in...

Hey, I'm searching for some advice. I currently have a MacBook Pro 13.3 inch with touch bar - Max i7 3.3 ghz - 256 GB ssd - 16 GB ram I've been doing tons of graphic design & other work on this, even without using an external monitor it works great and I almost never have problems with it...

Came across an article on sixcolors.com from Jason Snell about purchasing a Mac for a student. Now, obvious exceptions include family where money is no exception and obviously know you have a genius and you want to give them the best tools to learn. Taking into consideration, a MacBook Pro is...

I'm considering to buy an iPad Pro 10.5" or 12.9" (64 or 256 gb still don't know yet) for educational purposes. Also the Apple Pencil to write notes. I want to use my iPad for Math, Biology, German (I'm from Germany) and other subjects. Is the 'normal' Note-App in iOS 11 sufficient enough to...

I am a grad student and am considering the iPad pro; I currently have an older iPad, but would like to be able to work more directly with the materials (i.e. the Pencil). Most of the time I use a variety of platforms (Apple Books, Kindle, Ebsco Host, Adobe, etc.) I am curious about the extent to...

Well, I am coming today to this forum to ask for some help. Quite recently my MacBook Pro 2012 (now 3-4 year old) starts up with a question marked folder. I did some research on the matter and came back with the conclusion it was either the hard drive or the hard drive cable. So, I looked in the...

Hey there! Im torn between getting the 2015 13 inch mbp or the non touchbar 2016 mbp. I would just use it for word processing, movies and ocassional gaming. I never had a macbook before so somewhat confuses me. Of course the 2016 mbp makes you look "cooler" having the new device but I think I...

I'm looking for a lightweight (<= 1.5 lbs) school backpack that has at least 3 big compartments. I need to carry my laptop, books, notes, exams (I'm both studying and teaching). - High quality backpacks are preferred, but weight and the number of compartments are more important. Lighter is...
