MacVoices

In the second part of our discussion of new Apple hardware with Peter Cohen, we turn to the inevitable question of whether the iPad can replace a Mac laptop, and if it can, should it? Peter has some thoughts, and then looks at the new MacBook Air, what might be the best general use laptop (or even Mac overall) for us all.   This edition of MacVoices is supported by LinkedIn Jobs.

Apple’s latest hardware releases go under the microscope in our discussion with Peter Cohen. In Part 1, the discussion starts with Apple’s timing in releasing these devices, then digs deep into the Mac mini, who it is for, and why it is a better value in some circumstances than other Macs. Then, Peter tells us why the new iPad Pro is a game changer for so many people, and the one place he doesn’t want to see it in use.   This edition of MacVoices is supported by LinkedIn Jobs.
