not feeling the new design of Yosimite tbh

[i5_PRODUCER]

Hmmmm my rMBP battery is looking WEAK after the Yosemite upgrade.

[Ephren Taylor]

Did you do a clean install or just over the top?

[i5_PRODUCER]

Hmm just over the top only because I've literally only had it 2 weeks.

 

After a restart it looks alright though . showing 9 hours now 

[Yoshie]

New macbooks need to come with the fingerprint unlock.

Would 100% buy

gona jus get the retina one? tell me if im wrong plz cool cool

[dub]

simply put:

 

non-retina: more file storage space, cheaper

retina: thinner/lighter, better performance, higher resolution

[Sinister]

Did a clean install of Yosemite; liking it so far.

Added with the new SSD and its pretty rapid.

[Ephren Taylor]

I'm gonna backup whatever I need to tonight, then completely wipe my hard drive and start brand new with Yosimite

 

I've needed to start afresh for ages

[mp*]

If my Mac has basically nothing on it, should I still wipe before upgrading?

[Ephren Taylor]

If you're happy with the way it's currently running, then an upgrade should be fine

 

Only really need to do a clean install if you want a fresh start, or you want to get rid of any issues

cheers

I'd only recently installec Maverick with the new SSD but decided to do a clean erase install anyway as the process is pretty easy...

[Greens]

i just ran onyx before doing a straight upgrade, was fine tbh. Only needed to upgrade my littlesnitch.

 

What is this, like a diagnostic check to see if your apps will work with yosemite?

[The King]

Which 1?

Onyx is maintenance program. Cleans your Mac.

Little snitch informs you of all incoming/outgoing network comms

[dub]

all this wiping disks and using cleaning tools seems really unnecessary once you have an SSD

even with a HDD, not sure what benefit you're getting from that

[Creed Diskenth]

Lil snitch >>>

That app is the truth

[Ephren Taylor]

Benefit for me wiping my hard drive is reclaiming space... Think of all the software and shit that's been been acquired over the years that you no longer use or care about.... I've let it get so messy

Rather than spending hours going through and removing stuff individually, I'd rather take it back to factory settings, then install what I frequently use

[ONELOVE]

Upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, took like 3 hrs in all...must be my sky internet...seems smooth so far.

[Sinister]

Yeah

 

So much cleaner just wiping to install from scratch.

 

Pain I guess if you have loads of saved shit

I wouldn't get a non-retina pro

 

Firstly, it weighs somewhere close to 5 tonnes, secondly it will struggle to handle anything past Mountain Lion, without going through NVRAM resets etc, and has less powerful and slower architechture

 

The only real positives I would say it has over the newest retina is removeable/upgradable storage

 

 

Retina

HDMI slot

2x thnderbolt slot

much better resolution

lighter

more powerful/faster

 

 

Non-retina

Ethernet port

Upgradeable storage

Internal optical drive

(slightly) cheaper

 

I would actually rather go for an air + mavericks + ssd over a normal 2011 pro
