Hello

How powerfull is it?

The second question is that on message app in mac i have synchroize with my iphone and i can send and recive message on macbook, but why cant i see the name and not numbers in there? some contacts are named but other are just number? what depends that on?..

in mac my whole icloud contact list is there with all numbers?

and where is the "Delete" button in mac? ..

Should i update to High Sierra?

It's about as powerful as a computer with those specs, guessing plenty powerful for you?

You see the name if it's a contact, and the number if it's not. Same way it works on the iPhone.

The delete button is in the same place on any keyboard, top right, above 'Return'.

Why wouldn't you update?

All numbers was not on icloud..i dont know why but what i did was to log in on icloud and remove everything and then sync again with iphone..


Everything works fine so i dont see a reason to update..

Dose Mac users use some antivirus? IF yes which one is recommended?

I have no AV but use an anti malware program, malwarebytes it's free.

I use Avast antivrus and anti malware its free and does a good job with little to no impact on performance.
