It is noticeably and enjoyably faster at tasks that filmmakers use all the time. That's what this is designed for and that's what this laptop does admirably. If you are rolling to set with a camera bag with a Fuji XH1 and a few lenses in it, you want a laptop to scarf down the footage and easily playback previews. Most filmmakers don't want to drag those around. It is by no means a desktop killer and you are still going to get real benefits from the iMac Pro or the 2013 Mac Pro tower. We found it to be fast enough to be worth it. Barefeets' numbers were a real bump, but sometimes pure test numbers don't actually speed up real-world workflows.
#Mac pro 2018 review mac
Dork in a tent returned their 2018, largely due to frustrations over speed, and that is more than fair, especially since as a working DIT, they still bring their 2013 Trashcan Mac to set when needed, and this laptop doesn't really compete with that desktop. The first thing everyone wants to know about is speed. It seems to work best if you don't apply the sticker perfectly. Our workaround for touch memory on the keyboard. It's not perfect, but the annoyances are ultimately worth it. We were dying to use the 2018 Macbook Pro and we've now been using it on set and in post on several jobs for three months. While a lot of people love iMacs and use them every day, the MPB is traditionally the category leader for pros who are frequently traveling or on set. After the pricey but powerful iMac Pro, the 2018 MBP was supposed to be the next step in that evolution. The company even allowed a reporter from Tech Crunch a window into the future to see what the company was working on, a clear indication that it wasn't just focused on sheer horsepower numbers but actually identifying software/hardware hiccups that are slowing down workflows. Apple had been making a lot of noise and came close to an actual apology, recognizing its failure to deliver the tools pros need the most. We were thus wary but excited by reports of the 2018 Pro getting a serious revision. The 2017 model was a small update, a slight spec bump, and not enough to look again at the laptop. It didn't offer benefits over and above our legacy NVIDIA powered 2013 MBP, with many tests running the same speed (or even slower) on the 2016 system. The marketing around a P3 color gamut of the screen didn't live up to the hype. Going single port (with 4 matching T3/USB3.1 ports) didn't seem like the right move for actual professionals.The keyboard was nightmarishly loud, annoying to type on, and it had serious durability issues due to its design. Previous Macbook Pros had everything most Pros needed without adapters (Thunderbolt! HDMI! Normal USB!), along with the amazing Magsafe power adapter. It's no secret that we were not fans of the 2016 Macbook Pro. Apple keeps up its active courting of professionals with a revision to the Macbook Pro.
