The New MacBook Pro

The New MacBook Pro

Okay. This is the most awesome computer ever. The touchbar is amazing!  Before I go crazy with my praise, here are the features of the new MacBook Pro:

  • 67% brighter screen
  • about 17% thinner
  • about 130% faster graphics
  • about 10 hours of battery
  • 67% higher contrast ratio
  • Up to 58% more volume
  • 2x dynamic range
  • TOUCHBAR!!!

It is the best computer that I have ever encountered in my life. Even though the keyboard may be hard to type with at first, you get used to it. This post was written with a MacBook Pro! (the new one with the touchbar). Also, you can finally use emojis!!!!! The only letdown is that you cannot use touchbar features in chrome; you can only use them in safari. In my opinion, this computer gets a 5/5. Actually, it gets a 100/10!!! (that is how much I love this computer!😝)

 

 

The Chromebook

The Chromebook

The Chromebook is a fast and reliable computer, with all of the google applications built-in. You never have to worry about losing your work because all of it gets saved into your google drive, automatically. Virus protection is also built-in, so you can do more on the Chromebook, without having to worry much about viruses.

There are many different kinds of Chromebooks. It might be hard to pick which one to buy. Acer, AOPEN, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and LG, are the companies who make all of the Chromebooks, and they all have differences in appearances and sizes.

All of the Chromebooks have touch screens, and one of the Chromebooks, the ASUS Chromebook Flip, can have the screen flipped back(like a tablet). Even thought some Chromebooks are pretty expensive, Google advertises it as a good investment. Also, Google claims that teachers, businesses, and everyday people have said that they, “Get more done and worry less.” with a Chromebook.

As great as Chromebooks seem, they have some major setbacks that may discourage you from buying one. 1) It’s a goldmine for hackers, says an expert at software security firm Kaspersky. 2) You cannot use all of the applications that you can on an Apple computer (ex. Adobe Photoshop). 3) They are more expensive than they need to be, according to lots of bloggers.
