Go to cloud
I found the cloud solution is essential for my business. That is so hard to keep our own infrastructure. The cost is not just for buying some hardware. The difficult part is requiring someone to maintenance them. Moreover, we need some applications to access from multiple locations. Either we have many laptops
or going to cloud ...
Our iPad
Finally, i bought an iPad for my company. First of all, the size and weight. That is not too heavy to bring and too small to use. That is a perfect size to bring around. Also, that is bigger than iPhone. This form factor is more suitable to use productive apps, such as time tracker and accounting software. Plus that is very thin too!
In addition, the soft keyboard is very good and responsive too!
Moreover, although the screen is not retina, that is still very sharp. You can have a look on the photo above. Lastly,for battery life, it can last for a week.
Well, there is only one weakness. It uses lighting cable. That is different from other iPad. As far as i known, not many accessories support that Overall, that is quite good.
Considering to buy iPad-mini
We have started the development of our iOS apps development. But we have not got a test machine yet. So, we Our first choice is iPad-mini. Because we believe that is value for money. That is only around $300, which is cheaper than iPhone 5. I have played around. It is very lightweight and very responsive too! I love it. I believe that will be popular. It is a good choice to be a build target!
Using Mac to edit video
I started to use the MacBook Pro for video editing task. That is quite good, it came with iMovie which is easy to use. Moreover, that has a similar interface with my video editing software in PC. Actually, it sounds more powerful, it has a lot of subtitle effect. That is very nice. Let see my first video created in Mac.
unboxing MacBookPro
Yesterday, our MacBookPro finally delivered to our office. This is our first Mac. Because this is for iOS application and to be one of our AdvGen staff computer, that is not for myself. I am not very exited about that. But the Apple pays attention to details in packing. This looks a presents.
That looks a gift from Apple. The whole computer is wrapped by a thin plastic. Moreover, I need to pull on the middle of plastic wrap to open it up! So cool!
In addition, this is a basic model. It has a 4GB RAM with i7 2.3GHz, but the performance is not bad.
I am quite happy about it.
