Questionwhat kind of security software do need for an apple computer?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The typical answer is none but I don't think that is really true anymore. I use sophos free anti-virus since there are Mac viruses. https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools.aspx They have a whole lot more for just about any level of protection you want if you choose to upgrade. The other best practices are to use common sense when visiting websites and not to click on ANYTHING that looks suspicious. It is important to keep all your software up-to-date since there are specific exploits that come from existing programs such as Excel for Mac 2011.

Questionmake tv wirelssi have chromecast conacter to my tv to make it wireless i used it .so can iuse it with chromecast tothe tv connected watching movie .or i have to buy apple box to make my tv wireless
Asked 9 years ago by toto.
- Answer If you use chrome as your browser on your macbook you can cast directly to your chromecast. If you want to watch movies stored on your hard drive there are chrome extensions that allow you to cast files. Videostream is the name of the one I use. There is no need for apple tv.

Question256 vs 128GB storage for photosIs it necessary to purchase 256GB on this MacBook Pro or would I be fine with only 128GB and buy a 2nd flash card later for additional photo storage? Is it wiser to just spend $300 now and not worry?
Asked 9 years ago by Ro.
- Answer Buy 128gb if you need extra storage for photos, movies etc and plan on using this laptop for 2 yrs max Buy 256gb if you need space for apps and professional work, and plan on making this laptop last for 2 or more years. Either way you go, its a great investment since Apple retains its value better than most other PCs.

QuestionVideo Editing Capability ?Is this a good machine to import/capture video, edit it, then burn to a DVD ?
Asked 9 years ago by WanSolve.
- Answer This unit will certainly edit video as good as most any computer unless you are using many effects or layers. I've used the previous generation macbook pro for editing and the SSD makes everything go a lot faster. You will need to invest in an external drive to save off the footage and also a superdrive or similar to burn the DVDs I have a combination of regular 2 TB external hard drives and 250GB SSD drives using usb 3.0 and the results are great. The unit only comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports so you might need a USB 3.0 hub at some point. I use iMovie and Final Cut Pro X depending on the complexity of the edit.

QuestionDoes this have Force Touch Track Pad?The specs listed here don't state that it does, and the salesman at the store said it doesn't have the Force Touch feature either. However, this is listed as the (Latest Model). According to the Apple Store, the MacBook Pro with Retina and these specs does have the Force Touch feature. So I'm curious if this is truly the "latest model" with Force Touch or if it's actually last year's model with the multi touch pad. Thanks.

- Answer Yes this does have the force touch trackpad i ordered the same model

QuestionI bought my daughter an Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display (Latest Model) - 13.3" Display - 8GB Memory - 256GB Flash Storage - Silver If I wanted to upgrade the memory - can I do so on this model? Does it have to be through Apple? Thanks!
Asked 8 years ago by Memory.
- Answer Adding memory to these things is next to impossible, Apple solders it in on these MacBook Pro's. You definitely would want to buy it already equipped with 16gb if you need more than 8gb. OS X is very memory efficient and it runs great on the 8gb unless you need it for video editing/encoding or some other super memory intensive task.

QuestionCan I get Windows on this computer? Microsoft word, PowerPoint, etc?
Asked 8 years ago by Sasha.
- Answer You can have window for your Mac, however, you will need a full version (windows for system builder) not the upgrade version. I believe it will be around $200 and it will work on bootcamp. Microsoft have Office 2016 for mac, it almost similar with office for Windows (better than 2011 for mac)
