I’m locked in to what I’ve got with my MBP.Īlso, the Finder is terribly out of date, file copies take FOREVER on the Mac (about 10 times slower than on my PC), etc. The prices may be close, but tomorrow I could open up my Dell and up the memory to 64 GB or swap out the SSD for a 2- or 4-TB drive. Compare it with a Dell XPS 13 (I think the best mobile laptop on the market today), or a Dell XPS 15, or an Alienware or high-end HP. Also, it’s not fair to compare a $3,000 MBP with a $500 Windows PC. People who bash Windows 10 really don’t use it much. (I bought an 8 GB/128GB and upgraded the ram/SSD myself). Also has USB C, USB A, HDMI, and MicroSD ports. My 6-month-old Dell XPS 15 cost me around $1,800 with 32 GB of ram and a 1 TB SSD. My 6-month-old 2019 MBP cost me a little over $3,000 out the door, with 16 GB ram and 512 SSD. And, I’ve gotten tired of paying the “apple tax”, even though I’m lucky enough to be able to afford it. The fact that most of us do almost all of our daily work in a web browser, the choice of an Operating System is just not that important anymore. Now, Apple wants to turn your $3k laptop into an iOS or iPadOS device. I’ve been using Apple computers before NeXT even existed and OS X wasn’t even an idea yet. I’ve been both a PC and Mac developer for over 25 years, and am comfortable in both environments. I really just don’t like the direction that Apple is (and has been) moving. Lots of support/training videos on their site to check out. I am just trialling with the free version and its early days yet but I might consider this instead of upgrading to DT3. I am not sure it will be as good as DT but It seems to be quite fun using this application and I am enjoying it. I exported all my data with a few clicks and into FileCentreDMS. It runs on Windows platform, and uses Windows Explorer layout (not a database). This product is by company called Lucion Technologies. I would have preferred this kind of option to backup than having to do the whole thing in TM.Īnyway when DT3 was released, I thought about looking at options and came up with FileCentre DMS Time Machine appears to be only way to backup but nothing within to backup DT2 database. I had a couple of scares with DT2 when I could not open my database and the backup function was a bit daunting. (There may be simple answers to my small frustrations but I am not a Mac expert) File management, cut and paste etc to name one seem to be a little painful. I find it frustrating sometimes doing simple things in Mac that I do in Windows. I use MacBook pro and also Windows10 PCs. Hi Salvapost, I have decided to switch to Windows too. There are certainly situations where OneNote could be better, but if you really like DT3 you are probably going to find it difficult to switch. I’d day it depends how you use DevonThink. That means it’s a great fit for some workflows and use cases, and a mediocre fit for others. OneNote is excellent, but it’s designed from a totally different set of principles. So you need to completely rethink what you would collect in it, how you organize it, and how you make that collection support your workflow. But it is designed to be more of a digital replacement, and extension, of a physical paper notebook. But I also think of it as a companion to devonthink and scrivener and so forth, not a replacement. It does support notes attached to each item but (a) it’s clunky and (b) everything is driven by bibliographic records. It is meant to capture bibliographic data (title, author, publication, etc) especially when you are writing books, essays, journal papers and have to cite sources.
