I gave macincloud a shot for a couple of months. I like the concept but for someone located on the east coast, the service didn't seem to work very well.
I contacted their customer service and they responded quickly. Testing speedtest.net and a few other websites, we determined that my internet connection should have been more than fast enough. Unfortunately it was still taking about 10-20 seconds for the program to refresh the desktop once on the settings reserved for low bandwidth customers.
The service didn't work very well for me due to the distances involved, but if you live on the west coast I'd recommend giving it a try.
- macrun 15y agoIt works pretty well in the west coast here. They say that they are using real Macs which is a big plus to get the latest updates for xcode etc. Also, CoronaSDK, Titanium and GameSalad etc. are pre-installed. Very easy to get started with those, although there are some lags due to screen refresh rate.
- phaus 15y agoGlad to hear it. I was really excited about the idea of using an actual mac. Every time I buy a new computer I get really close to buying a macbook. Unfortunately for Apple I love playing video games. It is really pathetic when I go to buy a new computer after 2.5 years, only to find that latest and most expensive macbook available (which is marketed as a graphics workstation mind you) has a video card 1/3 the speed of the computer I am replacing. If Apple found a way to add a semi-reasonable video card to their tiny cases, I'd be happy to give them a shot.
