1. can you run many accounts on macbook air?
2. still prefer win 7 to have many account on one machine.
3. Win 10 takes trouble to change users.. | Let me offer my opinion on this, because not only do I have one (doesn't everyone) but I feel strongly from my personal experience-
1) 8GB of RAM (at least) will make a HUGE difference in speed (which, since you're doing the same thing over and over, even in little bits, the improvement really adds up). Also a SSD (especially in combination with a good amount of RAM) will really add to your efficiency. Can't recomend this enough, for Windows OR a Mac.
2) Windows 7 is something I'd recommend- highly... not only is Windows 7 what I'm used to, and it's much easier to change the settings to what I like (and less likely to be automatically reverted to Microsoft's preferences automatically by Microsoft like Windows 10 is supposed to be doing soon). Pick an operating system you know how to handle- and manipulate, such as settings. This is how you'll be most effective.
3) and the last one- Macbooks (even the AIR Macbooks) are snappy, very easy to switch between accounts, and though they work great with wifi and so on, they seem to work extra-snappy (or smooth, not sure how to explain it) on a tethered iPhone for interenet connection (compared to any laptop connected to any random wifi/mifi/similar connection.... I don't know if it's in my head (don't think so) or actually that much of a difference, but as I mentioned somewhere else a while back in a post from back when I first discovered this, and it's been my preference since. A Macbook (any, with a good amount of RAM) working off the internet connection of a tethered iPhone seems to work extra smooth. Of course this also depends on the quality of the service to the phone... but very consistently have I made mental notes of how well they work together.
I'd say you could easily put 10-20 accounts on either a Windows 7 or Macbook with a good amount of RAM and run them smoothly, just be sure that you're familiar with the Stlth rules and keep them separate.
That's just my 2 cents- what I've discovered from my experience... maybe some people will agree or disagree. |
