  • I'm confused...I'm planning to buy a MacBookPro Retina Display and would like to know if I need to buy Parallels and Office? Only iWork? Only Office?

    Answer

    It is the best decision you would ever make in your life...your life productivity will increase mult i-fold using Apple MacBook Pro Retina. I recommend the following:
    1. Buy the max hard disk space available if you plan to download your pictures and videos from your iPhone and iPad AND old emails. I bought a 256GB hard disk and have only 16GB left. FIrst analysis is how much space you will occupy in the new MacBook and decide accordingly. You cannot upgrade later.
    2. You don't have to install Parallels at all.
    3. iWork is great, but you don't have Access. If you need Access, then I suggest you install NeoOffice. Cost is US$ 10 per year. It has everything and more than Office Professional and it will work flawlessly on Retina Display. I evaluated all the other Free Office softwares and chose NeoOffice.
    4. I have Parallels and my old Office 2003 Professional, but seldom use it. I use NeoOffice everyday, but miss the feature that iWork would offer me to upload all iWork files automatically on iCloud! I already have bought Keynote and plan to buy Pages and Numbers soon. Unfortunately Apple has stopped trial versions of iLife. I wish they would allow trial before purchase.
    5. I do miss Outlook and the ease of emails in Outlook. Mail in Apple is not great. Other than Outlook, you can give up Office.
    6. Of course you have one more choice - you can choose Office for Mac including Outlook - NO Access -, over iWork.
    I hope this helps.     …
