People don't usually form orderly queues at busy bars, so if you're staring at the phone you'll be doing a lot more of the former and less of the latter.

I think you should stop now. There is no reason why I should have to take this abuse from you.

Easy fella, nothing you've said is far from the truth but you have to respect the fact that he can be hypocritical shit as much as anyone except that no one can ban him for it as this is his place.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Had a play with the new retina MacBook. Impressions:
- It's bloody light!
- Very nice design
- keyboard is very nice and not as odd as made out
- force touch is an excellent thing
- performance was solid, I opened tons of apps before I noticed slight slow down on opening times or switching between spaces
On that last point the reviews about performance are clearly bollox. This isn't a machine for running photoshop but for what you'll do day to day it's more than great.

How much does this machine that can't run Photoshop very well cost?

Eh? A macbook that can't run Photoshop? You'll be telling me it can't run Ableton next.
Sounds fucking shit.

I didn't say it can't I said it isn't the machine for running it. I'd never buy a MacBook Air for anything more than email/ web or office type work. If I want to run power hungry apps I'd get a Pro.

I thought you were talking about a macbook, not an air (or are they the same now?). Surely an Air can run most shit though?

We were but I was defining what I meant by computing needs. I would never by anything other than a pro if I was doing photoshop or film editing for that matter.

TBH if you're trying to run photoshop on a normal macbook, you're not doing it right.
Macbook pros run photoshop and other processor intensive applications better.

There's the macbook, the macbook air and the macbook pro.
The macbook air is essentially an overpriced notebook, the macbook is a pretty standard laptop, and the macbook pro's are designed for more heavy duty software.

The Air isn't overpriced and the new Macbook is anything but standard. You're right about the pro though

What on earth does that mean? I've run on Photoshop with no problems on machines costing far less than an Air.

But we all know that cost isn't particularly relative to power when it comes to apple..... i.e. that apple machines are more expensive.
I've ridden bicycles over terrain where cars wouldn't be able to go...... bicycles cost much less than cars, so does that by default mean cars are useless and a waste of money for everyone? Of course it doesn't.

Additionally saying it can't run photoshop is relative.....
if you're saying a much cheaper machine can run photoshop perfectly whilst editing a 1 mb 8 bit jpeg file...... but macbook air ran badly when you were editing a 1.5 gb 16 bit tiff then the comparison is hardly valid either

That really doesn't make any kind of sense at all.

Can you give me the models of macbook air and "cheaper" device you used? And the benchmark results you're using to make your assertions then?
editor

Whatever for? I don't need to provide 'benchmarks' to prove that I managed to get work done in a timely fashion using Photoshop on a machine costing less than an Macbook Air because it's hardly a wildly contentious claim.
PS I've been using Photoshop for graphics since version 2.5 so I think I know a little bit about the program.

So.... you've used a much cheaper computer that runs photoshop better, but you won't tell us what it is?
editor

You've invented the use of the word 'better' there but if you're going to insist that there's no computer than can capably run Photoshop for less than the price of a Macbook Air you really have lost all perspective.
I can't be arsed to list the machines I've used because there is nothing more dull than a tedious spec-off. It runs, that's all that matters.

Im not insisting there isn't a cheaper computer than can run photoshop better than a macbook air...... but if you won't even provide an example of one, it totally undermines the point you're trying to make. I mean are you comparing a 2009 macbook air to a cheaper 2015 machine, and then saying "well it runs photoshop better" because of course it will, and the comparison is then silly. Or are you comparing rendering HDR images on a macbook air, in comparison to editing a mobile phone picture on a cheaper machine, because then I'd also imagine the cheaper machine would be faster.
Im not interested in having a discussion about stuff if the other side is just going to repeatedly say "Its better because I said so"........ its totally pointless and subjective.
editor

It really doesn't you know because you'd have to be quite unhinged to suggest that there isn't a laptop under £750 that isn't capable of running Photoshop very capably for all but the most advanced, heavy duty niche tasks.
