Q: QuestionI am planning to buy MacBook Pro 512. I wanted to know if we can do programming using Microsoft products like Sql server, Visual studio , Power bi etc.. on MacBook Pro and is it compatible? Do I need to install additional software to do programming

Asked 3 years ago by Uk81.

• A:Answer Some Microsoft products like Access will not work, unless you pay for Parallels, which is a windows virtual software. It might not be efficient, but it’s do able. You would have to make sure the application is native to Apple’s M1 Silicon Chip.

Q: QuestionAfter my purchase, Is it possible that you make me an invoice (“factura”) with my data from Mexico? It helps me to declare taxes in Mexico

Q: QuestionI plan to do a lot of Music Production, do I need this MacBook Pro, or would I be fine with th 13in MacBook Air? And would 8 GB be enough?

Asked 3 years ago by hoopy.

• A:Answer Yes, but only if you have an external hard drive connected to it at all times to save all of your audio samples and projects, or else your memory will go very quickly. Mac Air should be able to run logic, ableton, FL studio easily with a external hard drive, but it might crash if you have alot of layers, automation, and plug ins. A Macbook Pro would crash way less and a iMac would barely if at all crash with a heavy amount of layers/automation/plugins.

Q: QuestionI need a new laptop , and all I use it for is managing my iTunes Music Library and browsing the web mainly. Would that base model be good for that? Is this a future proof product, meaning can it last for multiple years?

Asked 3 years ago by BaseModel.

• A:Answer The Pro model is overkill if that’s all you’ll be using it for. I suggest the MacBook Air M1 which you can get discounted because it’s last year’s model. It will last you years.

Q: QuestionDoes this laptop have a built in camera or do you have to buy an external camera. I need to use zoom conferencing with video

Asked 3 years ago by LadyBugg.

• A:Answer Yes, it has a 1080p built in camera that is very high quality. However this camera is housed in the notorious “notch” within the top of the screen. Although Apple did a pretty good job of keeping this notch out of the way of your apps while working with the computer.
