Hello people of the internet! I have a Macbook Pro MD101 (mid 2012, non retina) with 3rd gen i5 processor, 8GB of ram and 120GB SSD. This device has been with me for years. Recently I considered to upgrade to something lighter and more powerful. but currently I don't have any budget for Macbook Pro 2014 and younger. I was thinking about Macbook Air 2017 MQD32 with 5th gen i5 processor, 8GB of ram and 128GB SSD. I use XCode a lot in my Macbook since I developed iOS apps, and also sometimes do graphic design. So, do you think I should upgrade to the Macbook Air 2017 or just simply upgrade my current Macbook Pro 2012 to let's say a 16GB of ram and a bigger SSD? Thanks in advance, everyone. Hope you have a good one!

That's the thing. I don't have that much money. I'm targeting Macbook Pro 2012 or Macbook Pro 2013

Hello people of the internet. Let's cut to the chase. I need some recommendation. I am currently using Lenovo Thinkpad E431 (Upgraded to 8 GB of RAM and SSD), and I have a plan to switch to Apple's macbook lineup. But I can't decide which macbook should I buy? I am a university student. And I spend most of my day doing coding (web, java, also android studio), teaching, doing assignments, and sometimes editing photos in my free time. With that said, which macbook lineup should I buy? But, keep in mind I don't have a lot of money in my pocket. My plan is to get Macbook Pro mid-2012 (MD101) or Macbook Air 2014, which in my country both have relatively the same price. Or should I just keep using my Lenovo Thinkpad? So any answer and/or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thank you and have a good day to you all! Cheers! P.S. the reason why I want to change is because I need the performance and the portability of the Macbook, and also the software support.

Hello people of the internet! I'm currently using iPhone 6s 64GB which for me the storage is more than sufficient. I have over a 1000 songs, very few pictures (since I rarely take photos with my phone), and just a normal e everyday application like Whatsapp, Line, Instagram, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and so on And still have over 40GB storage left. So, I'm planning to upgrade it to iPhone 7. but I still not sure which storage that suits me the best. Will 32GB storage enough for me for a day-to-day use (I'll have to reduce the songs I have)? Or just go straight to 128GB? Anyway, your answer will be much appreciated! Thank you, people of the internet.

Hello people of the internet! I need some help to choose. So, I've been using android from around 2009. From Android Eclair to Nougat. My current smartphone right now is Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon version. Recently I was having some conversation with a friend of mine who's an iPhone user since the birth of the first iPhone in 2007. He suggested me that I have to change from Android to iPhone because iPhone's lifespan is longer than Android's. He said iPhone would last for 3-4 sometimes 5 years, compare to Android which usually last only 1-2 years before they stop providing software update and eventually became obsolete faster than iPhone (which is a bummer!). I know that since I have a friend who used iPhone 5 and she still receive an update to iOS 10 (which for me iOS 10 is a relatively new). So, I kinda curious about it. I have a plan to upgrade (Or maybe migrate?) from my current daily drive to iPhone and see how long will it last. iPhone 7 is what I had in mind. But, no headphone jack is quite a bummer since I listen to music a lot. or iPhone 6s which is a lot cheaper, has a headphone jack, but it is older than iPhone 7 and has no IP67 certificate. My question is, which iPhone should I choose that still worth buying in 2018 and has a best deal in terms of value for money? a cheaper iPhone 6s or a newer iPhone 7? Oh yeah, and I plan to buy a second hand, not refurbished. Thank you for your help, your answer is highly appreciated. Have a nice day people, cheers!

the 1007U ever so slightly outperforms the N3350? really? even though it is 3 years older? @HunterAP -
Hey there, people of the internet! I have a question. On 2013, I bought an Asus X200CA netbook and it works fine even for today's standard. I didn't do much of an upgrade for this laptop. Only upgrade HDD from SSD couple of weeks ago. Now, friend of mine wants to sell his 2016 Lenovo Ideapad 310S for a bargain (because he needs money). I only use laptop for working purposes like typing, checking emails, grading my students test, sometimes photoshopping, web browsing, and stuff like that. But, the thing is, I looked up the specs, and I found these: 1. Both use Intel Celeron 1007U 1.5 GHz and Intel Celeron N3350 1.1GHz (it says it can be boosted up to 2.4GHz but I don't know how to do it) for Asus and Lenovo respectively. 2. Both have 4GB DDR3 and 2GB DDR3 for Asus and Lenovo respectively. (I willl upgrade the RAM for the Lenovo if I ended up choosing the Lenovo). Now, my consideration is, I've used Asus for over 3 years and it works fine. I never service it since it never broke down. But on the other hand, I want to change laptop but is it worth it? Since by clock speed, Lenovo seems to be slower than Asus but far more newer than the Asus. So my question is, should I change my Asus X200CA to Lenovo Ideapad 310s? P.S I will also change the HDD in the Lenovo to my SSD. So in the end, if I ended up choosing the lenovo, I'll upgrade the RAM to 4GB, and storage will be my SSD. Thank you, Your answer will be much appreciated.
