Happy New Year!

Hey guys!

So its almost 2015. I just want to say: 2015 is going to be a very special year for me and this blog. I'm going to start a Youtube channel, and I'm going to get more money to buy more tech. And more tech means more reviews. And merry christmas everyone, and for the ones that already celebrated christmas, I hope you had a wonderful time.

Oh almost forgot: I promised to do a sound test of my Samson C01U Pro, compared with my build in laptop microphone. It will be online tomorrow on our own Youtube channel.

So again, merry christmas everybody and a happy new year!!

Samson C01U Pro

Hey guys and welcome.

Todays review is going to be about the Samson C01U Pro studio condenser microphone, its very well made, its made from metal, and the sound quality is so, so good, especially for 80 euro's. It comes with a little tripod and even the tripod is made from real metal, so it all feels very nice, and doesn't feel cheep at all.

The sound test is coming later this week, I'm going to give some tips, because well its very handy to buy a pop filter with it, because with this ( and every other condenser microphone ) its very important. Some of you may have the question: What is a pop filter and whats the point of buying it… Well a pop filter helps to reduce the annoying P, B, S and that sort of sounds. Because if you say P right into the microphone, it sounds like you're blowing in the microphone, and with a POP filter you are going to reduce this nice for a more deep and natural sound.

So I live in the Netherlands, and I seen some unboxing video's of the microphone on the internet. And this is what I noticed. The products sold in the USA come with a 2 meter cable and a carrying pouch. Mine didn't. My microphone came with a 1 m cable and it didn't came with a carrying pouch. Its not that its bothering me, because the 1 meter cable is enough for me, and I really don't need the carrying pouch, but just to let you guys know that if you wanna buy this microphone that its possible that those are included, or aren't included.

So this was my review, stay tuned for the sound test :) Thanks for visiting and until the next time!

Hey guys,

I'm sorry, I didn't post everyday, and I want to adjust my schedule for blogging, but more of that is coming around 4.00 PM. I'm actually to busy to upload everyday, so I will upload 3 times a week, and sometimes more. For me it takes a lot of time to prepare a post, because I'm Dutch. I think my English is pretty good, but its not my main language. And the grammar is very different if you compare it to Dutch, so if I prepare a post, I have to read it 5 times, to remove all the grammar that I've written wrong. So I'm sorry for this. But at 1 January 2015 I'm gonna try to upload more posts.

So sorry, and this is a quick update. If you're a follower of my blog, or you're interested in a review of the Samson C01U Pro, you can visit my blog around 4.00 PM to see the full review and sound test, it will be spoke in terrible English by the way!

Thanks for reading, and feel free to explore the other posts on Apple Macintosh Blog, Enjoy!!

Youtube Channel

Hey guys!

As promised I created a Youtube channel called: Apple Macintosh Blog, and well I don’t know what to do with it. I think I’m gonna upload some reviews and tutorials.
I don’t think that YouTube is a thing I’m gonna do everyday, but I’m going to try to upload one video a week, maybe more, maybe less.

The reason why I’m not going to upload a video for lets say, 5 times a week is because I like blogging. I like to write posts, and that’s just my hobby and I don’t think that making videos is going to be one of my hobby’s but I want to make the Youtube channel a part of the blog. So I’m not going to upload a video everyday, but just once a week. I also not going to make a schedule for uploading YouTube video’s so if I’m going to upload a video it is possible that it is on a Thursday, a Saturday and so on. But I will make a schedule for blogging, and I’m gonna post that online as soon as I made it, and think that the schedule works out, with my learning schedule.

So actually, a quick update about the Youtube channel

Feel free to explore the other post, and thanks for visiting the Apple Macintosh Blog!!!

Another Update!!

Welcome everyone! 

Today I ordered something very special, well for me its very special, because I ordered my first professional microphone. It’s a USB micrphone made by Samson. (Samson C01U Pro), and Wednesday the 17th there is coming a review online right here on the Apple Macintosh Blog. And I will post a sound test on Youtube. Yes that’s right, I’m gonna make a official AppleMacintoshBlog Youtube Channel. I don’t know a name for it yet but I was thinking to call it AMCchannel, the initials for Apple Macintosh Blog. At the beginning the channel will be very well how do I say it, low quality I think, because I’m from the Netherlands, and I don’t know if you guys ever heard a Dutch person speak English but it sounds so horrible and funny at the same time! So there will be coming a sound test on YouTube, and this blog is gonna have its own channel!
So more information coming in the post of tommorow!

Thanks for reading, and feel free to explore my blog!

GTA V for Playstation 4

Hey guys!

So as I promised, just a few minutes ago, I'm gonna do a review of GTA V for the PS4! I'm gonna give my experience with the first person modes, and tell you how it feels like.

So lets begin with the first person mode. Its so really awesome, if you bash someones with a baseball bat it just looks so real. And maybe I'm gonna sound like a maniac, but if you bash the skull of a ignorant fuck that can't drive it just feels so good and so realistic. And lets talk about driving. The driving is just so realistic, you can see your speed, your RPM, and a coffeecup or some coke.

And everybody knows that flying a jet is so much, actually, you're indestructible. You can tease your friends with it, and be very fucking annoying to other players in the world. But if you fly a jet in first person, its just 200 percent more fun. You sit in the cockpit, and it feels very special, this may sound a little childish but you just feel like a you're a real soldier from the Airforce.

And last but not least, shooting. Its so awesome. As you can see in the picture above, it just looks like a real first person shooter like Call of Duty or Battlefield. You can upgrade your weapons just like you could on the current gen consoles, but you can use now, you buy them, and it just works. Its not so weird as on the current gen consoles, where you buy a scope and just can't use it, well actually it works only with a sniper rifle ons current gen :P.

HOPED YOU LIKED IT, feel free to explore the rest of my blog and ENJOY!!





Just an update!

Hello readers!

First, I think I should apologize. I haven't upload for months now, but actually I was a little busy last summer. Because before the summer holidays starts, I had a lot of tests, which where really difficult. But now I'm gonna post like a motherfuc*er. So the actually right after this blog, I'm gonna do a review of GTA V in first person for the Playstation 4.

So if you're interested in that post, feel free to read it. I want to thank you all, for waiting and waiting until a new post comes online, SO ENJOY!!!

My pc (Windows 7 Professional)

Hello,

As you can see I am a Mac fan. This blog is called Apple Macintosh Blog and not The Windows Blog. But I want to write a post about my pc, and thats because I also use my pc a lot.

The first reason that I use a pc is because my school uses Windows so it is handy if I have a pc that I can us e home. And no, this isn't a pc that i've got from school. I've build it my own. And I have to admit, it isn't a beast and it isn't really a gamepc. It can play Skyrim on low graphics quality. And that's because of the processor. The processor is a Asrock Dual Core 1.8 GHZ and for Skyrim you need a Dual Core 2.0 GHZ processor. And first I wanted to buy a gamepc but than I started thinking, maybe I can buy a new Motherboard, Intel processor ETC, and than i can keep the casing but have a beast inside. Because I have a Antec casing, and that case is worth around 200 euro's, so thats a very expensive casing  think. Because in the Netherlands, you can buy a budget gamepc for 360 euro's.

Like i said, the specs are not very great, It is an Asrock processor, an AMD Vision video Card and a 8 gb of RAM. And thats a all in one, so the processor, the motherboard and the video card is all in one. And that are the specs of my computers.

My cousin has a YouTube channel called FirstGameKanaal. This is only for the people in the Netherlands because its a Dutch channel.

What I hate and like about Windows

Hello guys,

Today I am going to tell you about Windows. And I am going to tell about what I hate and what I like about Windows.

Wel first start with the things I like from Windows.

As we all know you have to buy a Windows if you want to game, and a pc is very cheap. If you want a  good gaming pc you are paying 3000 dollars I think. I am not a pc gamer so I don't know anything about the price but what I like about pc is that you can change everything about. And you can upgrade and downgrade your computer. And if you can choose some epic computer cases if you are building your computer yourself. You can put cool led lights in them and you can water-cool your computer. And if you have that in your room, your room has become a 100 % cooler!

And now what I hate about Windows. And that are all the viruses. Its awful, if you got a virus you have to install Windows again, and unless you have a backup you have to install all you're games and programs again. I also hate the cheap build quality. And this is only on standard pc's from Packard Bell or Hewlett Packard. Not that they are bad brands, but everything is made from plastic. What I also hate from Windows is Windows Vista, its awful it crashes all the time and its just irritating to boot up your computer over again because the screen freezes. And I just hate Windows 8, I don't know why, I used it for a while and I just hated it and I am never gonna use it again.

Well I hope you guys liked this post. If you did let me know in the comments!


Why I am using Mac and how to start using Mac

Welcome guys,

Today I am going to tell you about why I use Mac...

Well lets start with this: I like to photo edit and video edit. And of course its very handy to have a Mac for such programs. Of course I could use a Windows but thats to complicated. I think that Mac is user-friendly. When I first got my Mac I didn't knew how everything worked. But after an hour I knew everything about my Mac. Because believe it or not, I was a Windows user myself and I still am. I just don't use my Windows as much as I use my Mac.

I choose Mac because I like to photo edit and video edit. I like it because it user-friendly and its so easy to download apps. Just go to the Appstore and download an app that you like. I like iTunes and Safari. And iTunes and Safari are available on Windows, but believe me, it works really well on a Mac. And than there is the build quality. Just take an Acer laptop. And take a price range from 400 to 600 dollars. The computer is made from plastic and the Mac is made from aluminum. But it is also a 1000 dollars and that is a lot of money. And if you're not a Mac user or if you want to start to use a Mac, first buy an old Mac from eBay or something. Because if you don't like Mac you can always go back to pc because you didn't spend your money on a brand new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or another Mac.

So I hope you learned something from this post, if you want to know more about Mac search my blog for information.

Mac or Pc?

Hello guys.

Today I am going to tell you why you should buy a Mac or a Pc

Well lets start. I'm not saying that Mac is better than Windows or that Windows is better than Mac. You have to ask this question to yourself first. Do I need a computer for reading e-mail, surfing on the internet and checking your FaceBook and Twitter. Or do I want to edit photos videos and music?

Thats a important question because the cheapest Mac is the MacBook Air. For the ones who don't now anything about computers. The MacBook Air is a laptop and not a desktop computer. The cheapest version from the MacBook Air is $999.99.- so its not cheap. It has a tiny screen from 11 inch, an Intel Core i5 processor 2.6 Ghz with Turbo Boost, 4 GB of memory and 128 GB of flash storage. Not a great computer for photo editing, video editing or music editing. And you can't upgrade the RAM and hard drive. If you want to know why, you have to look for answers on YouTube. So if you want to do some HEAVY editing work this is not the computer for you. There is another important question actually. Do you want a desktop computer or are you a student or traveler and do you need a laptop. If you need an laptop you have to buy the MacBook Pro. Its a very powerful laptop and this should be good for normal video, music and photo editing. You can use programs like PhotoShop and Gimp without any trouble. I you want a desktop, there is the Mac Pro, the Mac Mini, and the iMac. And than there is another question... Do you want a all in one computer or just a real desktop with a monitor and the computer itself separate from each other. If you want an all in one you have to buy the iMac. Its a very powerful machine to but there is difference in screen size to. Do you want a 21.5 inch screen or a big 27 inch screen. If you really want to edit some stuff you should choose the 27 inch screen. But it depends on your budget and your likes. Because of you have a small desk the 27 inch iMac is a little to big for you I think.

There is also the Mac Mini. Its a very small computer and it fits on every desk and it looks great with a Apple Thunderbolt Display and a Apple Wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse or Trackpad. Also this computer is great for video editing and photo editing but it depends on which version you choose. And I forgot to say, look on the Apple website for more information.

And than we've got the Mac Pro. Its a cylinder and very small. This looks great with an Apple Thunderbolt Display and Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse or Trackpad. Its very pricey and its cost the most of all the Apple computers but its very powerful and this one you can use for very HEAVY editing. Its a very nice computer and if you want to buy this computer think about it because its a lot of money you're paying

And finally we're at the part of the reasons why you have to buy a pc.

Like i said before a Mac doesn't have to be better than a pc and a pc doesn't have to be better than a Mac. If you are a pc gamer DON'T BUY A MAC. There are not so much games made for Mac so by or build a pc. You can also video and photo edit on a pc but the a lot of people prefer the Mac for such tasks. Personally I don't like Windows but I don't hate. I just prefer a Mac, because I like the way it works. But you can do all the things on a Mac as you can do on a Windows. Its just what people prefer to use. A pc is cheaper but the build quality is not so good. Because everything is from plastic. You have some pc's and pc cases that are made from aluminum or something. Something from high quality. But the Mac is made from aluminum and that feels and looks very nice. And there is not much to say about the pc because most people who own a pc build them himself. Of course you can buy a standard HP computer but that choice is to you, and it depends on your tasks. For checking e-mail surfing the web and checking social media a standard computer suits you just fine but for gaming or photo editing you have to by a gaming pc or build one yourself. And what I like from pc is that you can change everything from it you can change the processor, you can change the motherboard and you can change the casing. But my point is. First think about your tasks, than think about the OS. Do you like Mac OS X or Windows. And than search for a computer that suits you!

I hope you like this posts, and remember I don't hate Windows and I don't Mac so don't fight on this blog about what is better. Because nothing is better, its just what you prefer!
