I owned the 2016 15" model briefly and had to return it due to a voltage problem (diagnosed at Apple Store "Genius Bar"). Yes, discrete graphics chip, thanks for the clarification.

Solutions are out for PC laptops, and everyone's hoping Apple will loosen up and allow similar easy solutions for Mac users since today's need hacks to work on Macs.Įxternal graphics solutions include the DevilBox and BizonBox.Įxternal graphics chip is a bit of a crap shoot, because it seems like in some .

"External graphics" today refers to a full desktop size graphics card that is physically external to the computer, made possible by the high bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3. I'm pretty sure you mean "discrete graphics" not "external graphics." Get a 15" MacBookPro with external graphics chip.

I am not going to early adopt this clearly interim 2016 MacBook Pro (unless my laptop suddenly dies). When the next model came out, it was renamed the 13-inch MacBook Pro and got the FireWire port back, and too bad for the earlier adopters who were stuck with nothing but slow old USB 2.0 ports. That was one of the first unibody aluminum models so it was new and cool. I feel like buying a MacBook Pro today would, in 12 months, feel like the buyers of the unibody aluminum MacBooks (2008) felt. Too many stories that it was supposed to have a higher density battery that didn't get perfected in time, limitations like 16GB of low power RAM that should go away with chips coming soon enough. There are too many indications that the current 2016 MBP was the laptop that Apple shipped before it was ready. That is if your looking to buy a machine that will keep up for years So, if you can wait till late 2016 to see what is going to be offered it would be a good choice.This is within the financial 'absorption' of Apple but in the end, it will benefit Mac users.
Life is too short to torture yourself with a slow machine. MacBook is sexy looking and nice for the airplane but a non starter for serious editing.īe good to yourself. In general I find that D mode in LR is fairly quick on my maxed out 13" 2015 MBPr until I do quite a few edits on an image, and then it slows down. Otherwise when you get slowdowns you will always wonder. I even suggest going for the fastest I7 chip. I did have to bump the cache in preferences from a handful to around 30 or 40 gig (I forget) to get the speedup I was seeking.Įxternal graphics chip is a bit of a crap shoot, because it seems like in some circumstances it matters a LOT and in others not so much.

I find that on my MBPr I need to keep 100gig free on the hard drive or Lightroom slows down. You will quickly forget how much it cost but you will be SO grateful every time you use it that you have the power and the screen real estate. I do take it around to certain places, but don't carry it around every day.įor every day use - email, Keynote, Google Docs, etc. The MacBook Pro is my stay at home laptop, which I use for Lightroom, etc. The MBP boots up / wakes up instantly, the MacBook doesn't. The MacBook, as lovely as it is, is just no match for the MBP in terms of performance.
I own a 2016 MacBook, with 1.1GHz M3 and a 2015 15" MacBook Pro with 2.5GHz i7. And 128GB of storage is too small for photo work. We're talking incremental change here, not a difference in whether a new OS would work on it, an inability to attach to some specific hardware, or whatever (although we can assume you won't play DVDs on it).īesides, you can get a dual core i5 with 8GB now. Weight, connections, battery life, graphics, etc are all very very much up in the air. So it's not too much of a stretch to say it would likely be slower than any new MBPs whenever they're released. Better to compare to current offerings, and on that metric yeah, it could be slower. Hard to do a comparison with a virtual fantasy MBP. It will have 8GB of RAM (with the ability to add more) and 128 GB of flash drive. The MBP is rumored to have 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor. The MB has 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core m5 processor, 8 GB of RAM (the limit) and 512GB PCIe-based onboard flash storage. Of course, the MB will be less powerful than the MBP, but will it really matter to me? The only "heavy lifting" I want to do is to use Lightroom and, possibly, do some casual video editing. I am debating between the MacBook 2016 and the soon-to-be-released MacBook Pro 2016.
