It's not meant to run Photoshop + 50 open tabs in Chrome + edit videos all at once. You hook it up to your normal computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and you're pretty much set to go.

Check before you buy, but it's the cheapest new Mac that you can get. The Best Buy price has been fluctuating between $399.99 (the lowest price I can find) and $499.99 (the stated Apple retail price).

You can get a brand new Mac mini for $399.99. I believe every word of it and I agree with your conclusion that buying a Mac for yourself works out better in the long run. I wouldn't get something super-ancient that might be on its last legs.Ĭlick to expand.Nicholas Erik, I'm very sorry that you had that experience because it's honestly one of the worst ones I've heard of regarding MIC and Vellum. If you're looking for used Macs, I'd look into getting a MacBook Air from 2012/2013 (they're about $400) or a Mac Mini. Unfortunately they do, and the rounding up policy + strange billing policy + no counter drops things down to around a 3/10. If the credits didn't expire, it'd be a great solution (9/10). Before the billing snafu, I'd have rated it about an 7/10. So yes, it works, but the best (and cheapest long-term) solution is buying a used Mac. I looked into alternatives, but MacInCloud looks like the cheapest option. But the baseline monthly plan is for 3 hours of usage a day, I believe more is extra. That is not reasonable in 2017 further, if you're not gonna have a counter in the dashboard, then email me when I go over - say at hour 31 or 45 instead of hour 95. I was told I could email them to check on the # of hours while the counter feature was in development. To be clear, I have no problem actually paying for hours I used, but the billing experience was subpar. There was no explanation on the invoice regarding what it was for I had to email support, who then informed me that I'd used 95 hours.

Not a fan of this policy.īecause of all this, I got a $60 bill randomly a week before my renewal date. Which means 1 min of usage time = 1 hour. Which sounds like a non-issue, until you realize that, for the day, MacInCloud rounds up to the nearest hour of usage.

The credit hours expire if you don't login to your account for 60 days in a row. The account dashboard DOESN'T TELL YOU THE # of HOURS YOU'VE USED (support says the feature is 'in development'). > the main issue is with the hourly plan. Not a problem with Vellum, since you're making minimal text corrections and it doesn't require tons of mouse precision. Scrivener), it's going to be a generally miserable experience. So if you want to use it for writing (e.g. > Can't comment on security, other than to say I hooked up my Dropbox and thus far haven't experienced any h4x0rz. > Vellum comes pre-installed on MacInCloud (or at least it has on the two separate remote Macs I've tried). It works, but there are some issues that make a used Mac a better solution. I don't really recommend MacInCloud, however. Another year or two, you'll have to buy another 10 book license. You already have three books assuming those go into a box set, that'll be four w/o any new work. I'd go with the unlimited version, unless you're not sure whether you're going to continue publishing.

> I think I purchased the unlimited license via my PC. I've used MacInCloud + Vellum to format about 50 - 60 books, I guess, including box sets.

While using MacInCloud, you have to use the Windows key instead of CTRL for shortcut commands (e.g.
