What really matters to pro users though are apps like Photoshop, and Adobe is working on integrating Touch Bar controls into it. This is because the higher amounts of RAM would require a power-hungry memory controller. There are calls for Apple to offer up to 32GB RAM in the MacBook Pro, with fingers pointing to Dell’s Precision 5520 laptop, which has a 32GB RAM build-to-order configuration.īack in November 2016 Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller spoke out after criticism that the MacBook Pro topped out at 16GB RAM, saying that if Apple was to offer more RAM it would be detrimental to battery life. This RAM tops out in the range at 16GB, but works at a higher frequency than last year’s 1,866MHz. Our review unit is the high-end 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, which can turbo boost up to 3.9GHz and has 512GB storage with 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory. They offer higher boosted clock speeds than their predecessors, and means Apple has caught up with the HP ProBook 400 range, Dell XPS 13 Touch, Acer Aspire E, and Asus ZenBook 3 that all have Kaby Lake chips. There are finally Kaby Lake processors, Intel’s seventh generation chips.

Being able to apply two kinds of pressure to a trackpad has opened up a wealth of existing and future possibilities for developers too, and is a clear and well-executed advantage over PC counterparts. Multi-touch gestures take a while to learn and they are limited in the main OS but become useful for editing purposes in pro apps like Final Cut. It’s also preferable to a mechanical trackpad because you can click anywhere on it, even at the top.

You can, for example, press harder for a deeper click and take advantage of another function depending on the app or program you are in. Apple remains a class-leader in input with Force Touch, the pressure sensitive technology that allows for simulated clicks and actions using only haptic feedback under the pad. Yet with just 15 inches, multi-window use is exemplary, particularly in conjunction with the excellent trackpad, which measures a massive 159x99mm. Considering the high price of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, if you need a 4K display then the 21.5-inch iMac I’ve never heard of such a model, 1080s are supposed to have 8GB.It’s worth noting that many Windows rivals now have 4K displays, something that Apple has never offered on a MacBook. That may or may not be an option for you.Īt work I have a MacPro (not the new one) with a GeForce GTX 1080 with 4Gb

NVIDIA hardware is actually supported fairly well (by NVIDIA), but (aside from old Mac Pros) the only way to use it is somewhat costly external PCIe adapters.

Let me also fit in a grievance: Apple’s support for graphics/compute APIs (OpenCL/OpenGL) has been terrible for many years now, just like their misguided decision to exclusively ship AMD hardware with their own drivers. I’m not aware of this being documented extensively anywhere (ideally it should work in all cases). If there’s a problem, chances are you’ll have to try again later.Īnother complication is that rendering kernels are compiled depending on the features you need, so using certain features may cause compilation to fail while in other cases it might pass.

My impression from reading the other threads on AMD hardware is that it is working rather well on Windows by now, but I haven’t read anything from Mac users lately.

Cycles on AMD GPUs is a very long story without a happy ending.

I don’t know the current status, both the Cycles code and the drivers are changing on a regular basis. So since Apple/AMD don’t release a new openCL driver, OpenCL rendering it won’t work properly, right?
