The Skylake processor and 8GB of memory combine to great effect, allowing a double digit number of applications to be open at once with several tab-filled browsers in the background. Sorry.When it comes to getting stuff done, the MacBook Pro is more than up to the task.

One shoe, or one max RAM size does not fit all. Computers were in Los Angeles and the artists were in Vancouver (BC govt subsidies lured the companies there).Īpple time to listen to your customers. There is no excuse for the top end Macbook Pro (w discrete graphics card) to be limited to 32GB.Īt another former company (500 artists) many of our users using Foundry's Nuke or Mari would be using 128GB or 64GB systems from a 1U system with a PCoIP graphics card.

We've been stuck at 16GB for too many years. This throws a monkey wrench in our pipeline development Typically many small developers who tools we use will write for nVidia only. Sorry but a lot of 3rd party tools still only support CUDA and not yet OpenCL. Give us Apple customers the choice in the Pro series betweenĢ. We can live with a USB type C connector as long as there are enough of them. Most of the time our laptops are plugged in. This is clearly a case of Apple not listening to their customers. I need more RAM for running virtual machines. Many of our users are video editors for 360 video and our developers need more RAM for their needs. We buy lots of them and we max it out with 1TB SSD and a discrete graphics card. We buy high end Macbook Pros in our company.
