Writing in the front
Believe everyone is longer, the annual leave before the current epidemic because wuhan, although we can do is not much, but not at home to the state to the chaos is the support of the country’s largest, so we as programmers, and other industries have some difference is that we can write code that can be at home, I this several days did not see too much about the technology, many reasons, One is, after all, in the home, feel come back once a year, it’s always good to have a good time with family, another is a lot of stuff on your side, so didn’t say can calm down and learn about the technology, but I don’t touch the computer a day out in a panic, is likely to be trouble, so take this opportunity to write yourself some experience about the use of MBP, I would like to share my own feelings and give some reference to some partners who are preparing to start or just starting to start. Finally, I want to say that the epidemic is terrible, but we still have to trust our country and government to give us a safe and comfortable working and living environment. Come on, China, come on, Wuhan.
- The following text is too much, no pictures, look at the discomfort as appropriate to leave.
MBP origin
First of all, the history of my MBP, why buy a macbookPro? Reason is very simple, because my thor, have been used for two years, basically can be retired, I’ve been thinking about what to buy a laptop as my productivity, reasoning, feel don’t want to use Windows, or try other system development, thought that this change is not immediate, in this life I think I may not be using win again, Let me tell you why…
Some basic differences between Apple computers
In fact, I did not consider buying MBP directly at the beginning. I started to buy an air of 18 models. Then we all know that Apple has many series, such as MacAir, macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac, etc., which are manufactured in different directions. So thin and small as the characteristics of air nature is to some students party, or some lightweight office workers use, such as the personnel department, finance department, etc., this also is not very heavy, relatively with is deft, imac, in my opinion may not be so friendly, after all, the desktop is bad to carry, but look more swagger, It can be used as the front desk, and the performance is still very good. Finally, the introduction is the protagonist we want to talk about today, macbookPro is also known as MBP.
appearance
If you do not have a MAC, we the default is not to enter starbucks, although this is a fun, but it can also be side reflected MAC’s popularity, I start with a paragraph 17 of MBP, nor top-of-the-line, but not a beggar, can use, appearance in addition to cool I think there is no other word can be used to describe, I don’t like too much fancy things, such as BAR, fingerprint identification (is my finger desquamate, basic no role for me) fingerprint [well, I admit mostly because I have no money, I don’t think these have what use, MBP hale appearance, body produced by using magnesium aluminum alloy material, I bought the dark gray, Overall look composed collect inside and do not break the atmosphere, although positive an apple logo after 16 basic will not give belief of light, but light apple logo or let a person shine at the moment, do not break with his office luxurious, pretend bility is not lost, after opening, butterfly keyboard give a person a kind of noble feeling, in fact, it is difficult to use, I just want to poke fun at the next, When will Apple go back to the chocolate keyboard), the breathing lights on the keyboard can adjust themselves (though domestic laptops have even more colors), and the retina display is comfortable and not tiring, which Apple has always done well. His display effect is far more than many domestic brands of display (this is not worshipping foreign things, the actual use of the experience is indeed so)
configuration
We buy laptop a lot of time is very attention to a few places, the first is the CPU, here, apple is basically a CPU and some of the domestic flat, that is to say, the domestic many what generation using Intel apple immediately is the new generation, basic will not drag on, the second is a memory, 15 years ago I can still accept the practice of apple, Is that we can buy some low with apple laptop, then buy our own memory chips to be modified, this is also I use some of the reasons for china-made notebook, my thor hard disk and memory are in high configuration, but apple notebook after 15 years basically all don’t give us the opportunity to change, you can buy highly configuration, However, if you don’t want a 15-inch one, what should you do? Official customization, in fact, it means that you ask him to change it for you, and he charges you money. I have some things that are difficult to accept, and the customized price is unusually high, far higher than the market price, but I have no choice but to accept it. The third is the graphics card, apple has been using graphics are more entry level, even if is is famous for its performance of MBP but also equipped with a low level, showing a if buy is entry-level MBP, basically is the collection show, won’t give you with double graphics card, but we think about it, MBP is not our common LOL, absolute survival game, thought of here, Think he did was right. After all, don’t play games, to the graphics card as well as you do, cutout ah, also don’t say that apple notebook for UI design for figure was quite good, the performance still can kill many domestic notebook, apple just to tell us, the somebody else make the product is not used to play games, is used as the productivity, It’s time for someone here to say, you can use a MAC laptop to install Windows and play LOL. Yes, it’s theoretically possible, and there are a lot of people who do that, but I don’t recommend it, because anyone who does that knows that Windows is hot, very hot, Machines in such an environment for a long time to loss is very big, so, if you want to play games, I suggest or buy a domestic laptop to play games, this can save a lot of money, also can play ball, the fourth is the life, the apple laptop battery life I can only say, enough, until I think apple’s life is very bad, After all, the fuselage is very thin, which means the computer battery is not particularly big, then life natural not particularly good, but some before I go to the scene debugging equipment, didn’t bring charger, fully used the seven and a half hours, there are more than 20, is just between me and change the code, no other what operation, so may operation also have relationship with us, But also is very good, so the official to the battery life is ten hours, seems to be true, the fifth is to screen, 2 k of super light display, use rise also known as a great, may be some people say that you don’t used good display, 2 k you feel all right, well… you’re right, but is not all right, I personally think when the human eye is looking at 2K and 4K, including now Apple’s 6K display, it is difficult for us to distinguish what the difference is (just referring to ordinary code, you can still see 4K video), so the most intuitive feeling is actually difficult to distinguish above 2K. But why do our monitors sometimes look comfortable and sometimes not? The reason is that when we look at a screen, we look at the refresh rate as well as the resolution. We at apple use a refresh rate of 60HZ. Sometimes it’s 75, but if you use 120 or 144, you know what’s comfortable.
When a programmer owns an MBP
Don’t talk nonsense, began to say experience
Vscode seconds to open
Have you ever had to go to the bathroom to open an idea or Webstorm? I used to use a Dell laptop, which was not a solid state disk at that time, but a mechanical disk. Every day when I went to work, I would click the power button and pour water. When I came back, I saw the computer slowly open, and then click Tomcat and Eclipse to go to the toilet directly. Play the phone back to see the software or, in the open, the scene is when I was 16 years in hangzhou when working condition, no solid plate change, for me at that time power does not allow, then slowly save money in a solid state hard drive, better, but still need to wait for a moment, then bought this marvelous machine after MBP, Just know, originally this thing can be opened in seconds, WHEN I opened it ready and the original to pour water, found, I click directly opened, as if urging me to work, well, I don’t pour water, go to work…
The command line is extremely convenient
We developed this line, and many times is something you need to use the command line processing, is one of the most common git (using the git visualization tool operation can be ignored), we usually do, open the win + R, type CMD, and then dir out each folder the file below, find your project directory, Or win+E directly open my computer, right-click gitbash under the project folder to operate, if you have MBP direct command+ control, input terminal, direct and Linux command the same operation, comfortable not.
Do not know what is shutdown
MBP is another advantage, after open the machine basically don’t have to shut down, no matter what work to the state, the work directly on a laptop, slipped, directly open the next day, went to work yesterday, didn’t want to win the notebook, don’t turn it off every day memory directly, give you up to over 90 CARDS do you doubt that life, but can only be turned off to restart, ah, I used to wonder when these days would come to an end, since I changed to MBP. I basically turn it off once a week or once a month. Sometimes I even wonder why Apple designs the power button.
Xcode development artifact
After we buy MBP, if we are tired of installing various software, we can directly install xcode, which basically contains some software we need for development, but it is not recommended to install if the hard disk is not big enough. Note that Xcode is integrated with many plug-ins, so it will be relatively large, as we all know. It costs a lot of money to buy a high-spec MBP, so I’ll take care of that for myself, but I’ll just say that Xcode works really well.
External screens are convenient
Apple laptops are generally small, and when we developed them, they were basically connected to the external screen for office work. Apple does not need win+ P to connect to the external screen, and then select the external mode. Apple is directly the expansion screen, and you can directly drag to set the desired state
Switching screens is insane
We know that apple have a weapon is his touch pad, it is not too good, the interaction between the fingers, we can win + TAB to switch the screen, but the switching transition effects is very not friendly, apple can be three directly refers to the default or for processing the screen directly, finger to move backward, click the choose, also can set is not pressure, Direct touch selection, can be set according to their own preferences, simply ridiculous.
Win or not
As for this question, I think it depends on individual needs. Personally, I think an MBP is enough for a developer who has no hobbies or interests. But if you like playing games and DIY like me, you still need a WIN laptop, because after all, THE Laptop of Win is relatively open. You can configure according to your own ideas, and what an MBP can’t replace is playing games. It’s easy to play games with a mechanical keyboard and a monitor on a Win laptop.
Wear an iWatch to unlock the device and keep the bar low
If you use the MBP, we lock screen, unlock if you are 17 and finger does not like me, after can be directly fingerprint to unlock, but if you are like me, unlock to enter a password every time, not tired, but if you have an iwatch watch that is different, direct connect my laptop, you can unlock, As soon as you wear the watch and walk into your laptop, it will automatically unlock, not too hard.
conclusion
If you ask everyone whether programmers need an MBP, I don’t think so. It depends on personal preference, and many people think that MBP is not easy to use. There are no shortcut keys in WIN and so on. You probably won’t want to use Windows laptops anymore. Finally want to say that the New Year, may be the beginning is not very well, but I believe this is god give, after all day will drop responsibility on people, also will do the things, as everybody knows, here is not to say the (in fact is not back) also wish the New Year, bloggers from all goes well, programming bugs, come on China, wuhan.
Finally, with a picture of my work, I hope the New Year, a lot of harvest.
