  Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 20/04/2016

  » Over the past few weeks, I have had some debate about the iPad Pro. I picked up the 9.7-inch version two weeks ago, but had been using the 12.9-inch version since November. Like others who have used these, I understand Apple's claim that this is the future of computing. Those I have debated with, do not. Their main difficulty is categorising operating systems: this is OS X (or Windows), which is meant for work; this is iOS and it's not for serious people.

  Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 02/03/2016

  » Last July, I was delighted with the arrival of the MacBook. Despite its 1.1GHz processor, it provided respectable performance, helped by the 8GB 1,600GHz RAM and the 256GB SSD. This was the same SSD as in my Mac mini. That has provided quite good performance, along with the 512GB SSD in my MacBook Pro. Both of those Macs also have 16GB RAM, so with all three devices, processor speed is not the main criterion for performance.

Analyst opinion has been split, particularly on iPhone sales speculation: some say down, some say up. With figures from China and India already looking promising, those who always vote for a doomed Apple may be wrong again.
