The VT Boys are impressed with the new Apple MacBook

The VT Boys are impressed with the new Apple MacBook  - what a lovely computer this is, especially Mr.Gadget loved this model, so thin, fast and the sound is bringing this ultra laptop to another level.

This model is powered by the new Intel Core M processor 1.1Ghz with a turbo boost of 2.4Ghz, it has 256Gb Flashdrive, 8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz memory and a Retina screen. Running MacOS 10.12.3. We made some photos to see the difference between the MacBook Air 2015, MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009 and the new MacBook 2015 Retina - wow this computer is very thin, even if you compare it with the MacBook Air 2015.

Mr.Gadget has not been feeling well over the last few days and has been of school since Wednesday, today he is been feeling better but is taken it easy. He still had time to play with his little sister - Mastermind. Hopefully he will be recovered soon. We will pray for him as we always do.

 

The VT Boys have been building a successful Hackingtosh

The VT Boys have been building a successful Hackingtosh today. Based on a Intel Sandy-bridge i7 3.4Ghz 2600K, with 8Gb DDR3 1333Mhz RAM and nVidia GT530 Graphics card. The install was very easy to do and all the bits are working great, sound, network and graphics.

We downloaded Geekbench 4 and we had a whooping score of 10773 which is super fast for a Hackingtosh. The Cinebench score was also very good, but the graphics let it down. Mr.Gadget loved the new build and hopefully will be able to install the latest MacOS 10.12.

This build has 10.10.1 OSX and looks very good, we have installed VMWare fusion 7.0 with a Windows 10 Pro Virtual machine and that works great. In the past we had installed OSX Lion 10.7 on a HP ProBook 4350 and that was working just like a MacBook Pro 15" i5.
