Apple new product rumours and general news

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.

Im not suggesting there isn't...... I'm questioning the difference in ability between the two and what benchmarks you're comparing..... after all are you genuinely saying that a macbook air is incapable of running photoshop? Because I've used photoshop on a macbook air. :confused:

You seem to have lost all track of who said what here.
 
A MacBook Air is perfectly fine for running Photoshop.
If you're spending all day manipulating massive images then it's probably not ideal, but then no laptop would be.

I dare say a MacBook would run Photoshop just as well as my 2011 MacBook Air (apparently they're about comparable in CPU power). The selling points of the MacBook are not its CPU power.
 
I wouldn't have thought someone who uses photoshop professionally and like the mac system would be inclined to buy a MacBook Air either. The MacBook airs aren't marketed at designers, Retouchers, musicians or film editors. They're marketed as shamelessly overpriced notebooks.

I was facing the same question a fews months ago. I decided to go for the Air and i'm still happy with it. I work a lot with Photoshop and it's blazing fast, nothing to complain about. If I would have to make the choice again, I'll still go for the Air. Good luck!

Well they didn't seem to have any problems running photoshop on it.

The point was never whether you could/couldn't run photoshop on it, the point was the notion that you've presumably run it on both if you're going to comment that cheaper machines run it better, but you weren't prepared to suggest whether the two machines you're talking about were comparable spec? I.e if you ran photoshop on a 2010 MacBook Air, and then complained it was slower than a 2014 generic model of laptop that cost less..... Then that's not really a true comparison as such.

That was the point I was making but the Editor is either going senile or just being his usual trolly wanker self.

It's not that you can't run that app on it just that you wouldn't buy that machine if that was something you are serious about you'd buy a pro.
 
I used an 11" Air professionally with apps more demanding than Photoshop for years.

Funnily enough the task I found it worst suited for was web design, which is easily the least system-intensive thing I did but is annoying to do on a 16:9 screen.

And for that nasty and unwarranted abuse you get a warning. Stop it now please.

Stop aggressively trolling and I will. You've done nothing but act like a petulant child on this thread adding nothing but heat when others are seeking light.

I think all small screen laptops are tricky for web design. It gets really frustrating with so little screen space.
 
On a slightly more practical note.... Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the iPhone SDK from.... to recover some photos that were helpfully deleted during my last iOS upgrade, apple have told me to restore an old backup, grab the photos, and restore my last backup...... aint nobody got time fo' that.... so I thought if i could do it on the iPhone SDK it would be helpful.
 
Anyway. New stuff announced on Wednesday... New iPhone, almost certainly a new Apple TV and maybe a big iPad?

I'll almost certainly be acquiring the new phone ASAP as Aqua has had enough of Android and wants my current 5s. Just need to try and blag one for free from EE :D

The big iPad seems to have been coming for an eternity. Other manufacturers have already shown that there's some demand for a bigger screen, but the buzz over tablets does seem pretty much over now.
 
Yeah, I'm not entirely convinced of the market for one but the rumours keep cropping up. Will be interesting to see what they do with the TV though.
 
I would quite like an app store for the apple tv. I only really use mine for airplay, but there's much more I reckon I could do with them......

I thought my ps4 would take over from my apple tv for plex duties...... but plex on PS4 is absolutely useless!

I don't know exactly what you think the SDK can do to help that?

Software like this, which can restore photos from iTunes iOS device backup files may be more like it?

Oh no, large auditorium = extra level of crowd frenzy noises. Especially as loads of noisy employees are there.
