is 16GB not much or something? I don't even get close to using up all my 8GB and I game and photoshop.
I'm a sucker for Macbooks and really love the trackpad and overall build quality. I'm stuck with my 2009 Pro and probably need to upgrade soon. Granted, it still runs well because I put in an SSD, more ram and a new battery. But one day, it will die.
But fuck I'm not spending 1700€ on the base model MBpro. Ridiculous. When I bought mine the base model 13" was 1150€. And so many regressions...no usbA, no magsafe.
Like someone here wrote: Apple 2016: one step forward, two steps back.
There is a difference between using photoshop personally and using it professionally, professional grade design work requires more rendering and that higher ram capacity to be done efficiently.
Wouldn't you save a grip of cash just setting up a hypervisor with a lot of RAM? Instead of hosting the VMs locally?
> is 16gb of ram not much
depends, certain application just eat ram, for example loading in really big sampled instruments, like an orchestral section with all the articulations.
if you are actually needing more than 16gb of ram, then a laptop is a weird choice.
For a workstation that's the minimum I would consider, given that the Macbook Pro is marketed towards media creation users and it costs quite a lot of money I would expect it to at least have the specs to actually handle media creation.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that we live in a future so great that we can complain about having *only* 16GB RAM? My laptop in college had 512MB.
They could literally just not mention the thickness, and nobody would even ask. Just say you've got a full day of battery life, and everyone would throw money at you.
Rendering uses as much RAM as you have available, since it's much faster to move the data back and forth between RAM and CPU to be calculated than it is to keep loading it from the HDD page file.
Also virtual machines use as much RAM as an entire OS all on their own.
I was really let down by the new ones too, mainly the price point. I have a Late 2011 macbook pro and I love it. And it sucks because I really like the 2012 pros with the HDMI, better display and it being thinner in general. The specs in the new ones are pretty damn weak too.
Depending on how much they cost it would be kind of crazy to buy a 4 year old laptop but I'm not sure. Other "premium" laptops are very expensive too. The build quality and trackpad have a huge influence in the laptops I purchase and so far nothing really compares to a macbook. if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
It is, but that doesn't change the fact that every year thousands of design professionals make that choice and pick up mbp's and if they do that they should at least have the option to pay for more ram.
The glowing Apple was just backlight from the screen, they removed it to make the top shell thinner
Apple made a laptop that can't connect to an iPhone out of the box. You'll need an adapter.

I dunno man, thats technology in a nutshell today. For example a thick phone with an amazing battery and specs sounds amazing only to us it seems. Maybe its easer to market smaller and thinner devices than more powerfull ones.
Or any promoter ever.
This new MacBook Pro has the same maximum, un-upgradeable amount of RAM as the 15" Retina MBP that I bought in 2012. Kinda ridiculous.
Their target demographic is people who should own a chromebook. These aren't pro computers, these are computers for netflix and facebook. They put in what is needed for that, make it as thin as possible and market it as a luxury product for house wives, old people and trustfund kids. This really sucks for us who want a mac as a tool for development.
>Also virtual machines use as much RAM as an entire OS all on their own.
I mean, thats because they're an entire OS...
Well there's an iPad Pro so they sure don't.
... Until the phones break and they lose suppot. Then you'll shit the bed
That is what we've been pushing to do, but security wouldn't approve. Not exactly sure why. Most of us want a local machine since most work remotely and not all of us have great internet access.
For that you need to go to Microsoft and the new Surface Book. 16 hrs battery life in essentially same form factor as last gen.
I paid $300 to upgrade from 4gb to 8gb in my college laptop. It's still going .
Might sound stupid but the glowing Apple was one of my favorite design features of the Macbooks.
I don't get the logic behind making the MBP's thinner at all. They already have the Airs and the the regular Macbook for ultra-portability. The MBP is supposed to be the workhorse model.
Jonny Ive is the guy who talks about how thin everything is.
I wouldn't like one as thick as the optical drive ones. But I'd be fine with the current (2015 era) thickness continuing. That still should be good for 20 hours I would think.
That's still leaking light, it could otherwise be reflected forwards
Except shit like iMessage and FaceTime breaks all the time on mackintosh least I checked. I really considered doing one but not when that's a recurring problem.
