Hello all,
Few questions on our apple gear.
1. 13" MBP purchased from apple online in july, but first turned on 3 weeks ago. (it says late 2012 build, why??? i don't know, would think there would be a 2015 build around) Anyways it Runs slower than my 1984 MSDOS high school computer. currently using an Airport Extreme Time Capsule on WOW provided internet. There is an ASUS modem then the apple router. Is the wow asus modem even necessary? On the "check my speed test 14.97-15.06 MBPS dwnld. and 1-2mbps upload.
Besides the speed issues, this new MBP is having lots of delay problems even offline. click here and wait 10 minutes,... numerous windows not opening after wake up or opening after being closed days ago. Been to the apple store and things check out at genius bar...
el captain, 2.5 i5, 4gb ram, 500gb HD, intel 4000 grafix card, so a very basic cheap unit. However our 2008 15"MBP is 1000000 times faster and working fine. Its been trouble since the first turn on. Just a few apps like iWork and i movie. nothing else. wow speed is 15 mbps, but we rarely see 2mbps dwlds actual speed . only been trying to download updates for 2 weeks now. seems each time the screen goes to sleep, the update or download stops.
thanks
