The fingerprint scan is amazing, it recognises my finger really quickly, even if its slightly wet. It saves me a few seconds every time I open it since I dont have to fill in my password. That doesnt sound impressive, but it can save me hours in my whole life in total and time is precious. It can save up to five fingerprints, so if one of your fingers is dirty, you can always save spare ones and use those instead. As you can see in the picture, the speakers are massive and the sound quality cant be compared to any other laptop that Ive ever used.

The sound is unbelievably clear and the bass is beautiful. Like I mentioned before, the laptop has USB-C ports, four of them to be exact. Moreover, the laptop contains enough energy to charge your iPad and other devices and the trackpad is huge.

Last but not least, the touch bar is fantastic and fairly easy to use. It cannot only stop and play the music youre listening to on iTunes, but also the videos youre watching on YouTube. You can adapt it to your preferences. Fortunately, they decided to change the old butterfly keyboards, so they arent sticky anymore. The most wonderful thing about this keyboard is that the ESC button is separate from the touch bar, which wasnt the case with the older models. There have been complaints about that and now its fixed!

If youre on a tight budget, DO NOT buy this laptop. There are so many laptops out there that can provide you the same experience. Only buy this laptop when you have money to spare. Also, DO NOT buy it when youre only using it for basic operations, such as watching Netflix, YouTube and some light office work on Word or Powerpoint. Ive bought the I9, 1TB, 16GB version. I should highlight now, that Im not a poweruser, but I do some music production as a hobby, so Im not using this laptop in the most extreme way.

Its also my first ever Mac Ive only ever used windows beforeThe hardware is truly stunning from the notquite 4k screen to the stunning aluminium chassis and snappy keyboard, I was thoroughly impressed with what Apple has been doing in the laptop space. A particular highlight for me is that huge trackpad it provides fantastic precision and the Taptic engine which powers the haptic feedback is second to none.

The speakers are also classleading I was shocked at the fidelity they are capable of. The only letdown on the hardware side is the lessthanspectacular p webcam which falls slightly short of expectations I would expect p from a 2, laptop, but I guess we cant have everything The bezels around the 16 screen are also remarkably small.

Dell XPS laptops do have a slight edge in terms of screentobody ratio, but nonetheless it does look very sleek. From a software perspective, Mac OS is not something Ive had any real exposure to before, but within a couple of days I had settled right in. Gestures are well implemented much better than windows and there are plenty of useful shortcuts available for those who wish to use them. My only real complaints here is the absolutely bananas idea that you have to download special software to transfer files back and forth from an android device.

I found this pretty irritating, especially as I wanted to add a bunch of photos from my S10 and the process was less than seamless. I also think the Touch Bar is a total gimmick. It displays largely irrelevant info most of the time and I cant fathom why they would want to make simple tasks such as changing volume or brightness more complicated than necessary.

I can see the vague utility of being able to scrub through YouTube videos or editing projects with greater ease, but Im pretty sure this was simply Apples way of justifying the upgrade to some customers. Im glad we have a physical escape key now though Ive seen this is missing from prior models. Also worth mentioning is the finger print scanner it works well amp is great for maintaining security while ensuring that logging in is seamless, but I wouldve liked them to implement Face ID as that Windows computers already have this in the form of Windows Hello.

Its also worth noting, as an aside that you can only stream Netflix at a Maximum of p, and only via Safari Chrome is p. This obviously isnt an issue for most people, but I do have Netflix in 4k, so would ideally have liked to make full use of the nearly 4k display. Its also clear that the Windows store is much more populated than Apples Store for Mac these store fronts are great for easily and securely keeping your commonly used applications up to date I always use the Netflix on the windows store as it can provide full 4k.

The IO is absolutely fine 4 thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack do me just fine, though your mileage may vary if youre sick of living that dongle lifestyle. Overall great machine, stunning build quality and a breeze to use. I wont comment too much on performance, as this is not my expertise all I can say is that it is pretty snappy all round. It is pricey and it is not the most versatile OS in terms of compatibility, but the overall experience is fantastic if you have the money to burn and dont need to game or stream 4k Netflix.

Overall not a bad machine — relatively fast, comfortable keyboard. The keyboard actually fails quite often. It is engineered like this — to break easily. Very good marketing trick as you have no other choice but to spend even more money on it. Me and another 4 friends are having this particular model of macbook pro. For 3 of us the keyboard failed.

The second thing is that once I enter a video correspondence the fan starts rotating like crazy and my battery dies in two hours. I can not believe I can spend 2 or 3 thousand on such a product and be left with such a cheap experience.

I think that if you are a real professional and want to use this computer for work — hours with video cals, VPN connections etc than you should spend like k to get the top spec and then maybe your fan will not go crazy, your battery will not die in 1. Unless the keyboard gives you up. Think before you spend your money. Get groundbreaking performance and amazing battery life. Add to that a stunning Retina display, the enhanced camera and audio ever in a Mac notebook, and all the ports you need.

The first notebook of its kind, this MacBook Pro is a beast. Bought this MacBook Pro 16 halfway expecting something to be wrong with it when I it was delivered.

I inspected it top to bottom, looking for evidence of some grand conspiracy. I just couldnt find it. There is some evidence of prior use if you look closely at the trackpad, but otherwise I could not have distinguished this from a unit pulled from a retail box that same day. The speakers on the 16 inch MacBook Pro are something else.

They saturate the area with sound, seeming to bounce it off the display to create an immersive experience. I highly recommend picking up a macboook pro for a relative steal now that the M1s have apparently tanked the price of these. Also I underestimated how often I would use the thunderbolt ports to switch the side Im using to charge. This is such an underrated feature. Style and speed.

Connect easily with both USB-Type-C and USB 3. The IdeaPad 3i Gen 6 15? Intel makes staying indoors and working or learning from home even more enjoyable. It boasts the performance of 11th Gen Intel Core processors, along with smart features that address eye strain and at-home distractions. A year ago I bought an IdeaPad 3 11th gen. i5, 8GB, SSD. I had a short-term need for a computer and the low price way key. It quickly became my primary workstation due to a great keyboard and touch-pad.

It has been flawless, and does what I need it to. When my backup computer died I picked up the current generation IdeaPad 3i 12 gen i5, 8GB, SSD and again added 16GB RAM. The new one has 8 GB soldered with an open slot so I now have a 24GB 10 CPU core workstation for a bargain price — the sale prices are key. Between my two IdeaPads I can run a lot of VMs simultaneously for dev. The ability to upgrade RAM is not common in value-line laptops now. It is not the lightest computer, but is not heavy.

Build quality is good but not cheep — the plastics are resiliant and the hinge is very solid. I appreciate the no-frills design that just works and gets my work done.

Brand new laptop and internal microphone does not work. Took me a day to set the machine up and copy things across. Very pleased with myself, and then. Contacted Lenovo technical and they did get back to me. Tried all fixes and nothing worked. Solution was to take it back to factory settings and lose everything or send it back to them.

Not prepared to do that after all the time I had spent on it and not sure if it would work then. Bought a cheap microphone and plugged it in — that works. A cheaper and more convenient solution. Microphone should work in a new machine, surely?? The box that it came in was dirty and it looked like it had been taped multiple times, as in, it had been purchased and returned more than once.

I tried not to let it sway me. When I turned it on though, there were a couple of thick, dark, non-uniform streaks across the screen and another along the right hand side of the screen.

It was so bad that any text behind these lines was completely illegible. I am also learning the hard way when it comes to getting a refund.

I sent a laptop back 9 days ago and still have not received any acknowledgment that it has been received. The tracking number I was given registered an error message, both when I entered it and when two different Best Buy employees tried to enter it.

I gave one star for the employees who work in customer service. They are kind people working in a very flawed system. I would give negative stars for the person whose job it was to check this laptop and for the people handling returns at the warehouse.

The new MacBook Pro has 6-core Intel Core processors for up to 70 percent faster compute speeds. And the versatile Touch Bar for more ways to be productive. Pushed even further. Coming from a seven year old 15 MBP that was still working perfectly other than needed a battery replacement, this new laptop is amazing. Compact, great screen, solid build quality, amazing keyboard and trackpad, serviceable webcam, solid built in speakers.

If I were a guessing man, I think that the build this generation thicker than they had to so the next revision can be thinner assuming they can still fit fans in it. Impressed with the performance gains over my fully-loaded iMac so far. Thumbnails load so quickly in Adobe Bridge that they look like they were always there.

FileVault encrypted my entire 1TB SSD instantly. The full-height function keys are a delightful way to bid good riddance to the Touch Bar. Display is gorgeous with noticeably high contrast.

Please consider our PDS. Trader Workstation. Obviously the more programs that you will be running simultaneously, the higher the RAM capacity you should shoot for. The graphics card enables the processing of all graphic elements and videos on your computer screen. Getting a high quality graphics card will allow you to enjoy a better visual experience while trading. The minimum recommended specifications for a graphics card would be a Nvidia or AMD card with at least 2 GB of memory for a single monitor.

If you are using additional monitors, then you would want to increase your graphic card memory by two GB or so per additional monitor. A high-quality graphics card is essential for those that will require a multi monitor trading set up. So how many monitors do you need to trade the market effectively? Now the answer to that question will be different for every trader based on their particular trading style and the tools that they use to support their trading decisions.

For example, a futures day trader that monitors a dozen different markets throughout the day, and needs access to a newswire, may opt for a multi-monitor setup that includes 6 to 10 different displays. At the same time, a long-term position trader, who trades off of the weekly charts may not require any type of elaborate set up beyond a single screen to trade efficiently.

And so, the answer will depend heavily on your trading horizon , the number of markets that you watch, the number of trading tools that you utilize, and other related details. Having said that, even very active day traders should start off with a relatively conservative multi-monitor setup. As they move along their trading journey, they can add more monitors as needed to suit their trading requirements. As such ,you should not opt for an overly elaborate multi-monitor setup just to satisfy your inner urge for doing so.

That is to say that there should be a practical reason for adding additional monitors to your set up. The resolution of your computer screen is also an important consideration. Resolution refers to the number of pixels that are displayed on your computer screen. The higher the resolution the greater the number of pixels added, which will result in better overall clarity.

There are three primary resolutions that you will typically find. This includes the X , the X , and the X In the overall scheme of things, this is relatively low, and can add efficiency to your trading business , which can be well worth the added cost. Asus offers some of the best monitors for trading in terms of quality and price.

As for the size of the monitors, that will be a matter of personal preference. But generally speaking, the most popular trading computer monitor sizes used range from about 24 inches to 32 inches. We have now covered all the major specifications that trading computers should have. Additionally, if you have a multi-monitor setup, you will need several desk mounts, monitor mounts, and monitor stands to keep everything connected properly.

Last, but not least you may need a USB to HDMI adapter to connect your trading computer to the various accessories that require it. The right trading computer setup will help you to maximize your efficiency. While the best setup will be personal to each trader based on various factors including their trade frequency, and personal preferences, there are certain minimum requirements that should be met.

We discussed some of these minimum specifications as it relates to different components such as processing power, hard drive, RAM, graphic cards and more.

The prospect of building a workstation for finance, trading, or other high demand office applications can be overwhelming. How should the build differ from a traditional gaming PC or even a content creation workstation?

Most finance applications — think Excel spreadsheets, Quickbooks, Quicken, etc. A carefully selected set of components will not only yield the performance you need to increase your productivity, but the stability you need to get things done.

Vibrant touchscreen When inspiration strikes, capture your ideas on the hi-res PixelSense touchscreen display. So the specs for this Microsoft Surface Book 2 appealed, with 16GB RAM and GB SSD I would have preferred the 1GB version. That is to say that certain trading platforms will only work on a Windows-based computer, others only on a Mac-based computer, while some may be compatible with both the Mac and the PC-based computer. Pros: Excellent laptop with good performance and design and nice keyboard feel. This mainly to run the current version of VMware Workstation Pro on Windows 10 Pro.
