i dunno.
we've all moaned at apple for abandoning the pro market for years - that trashcan was next to useless with it's lack of expandability - and now they've delivered big style, with a super fuck-off ult-pro behemoth that can pretty much do anything anyone wants.
ok so it costs shedloads, but the base model isn't so expensive and has all the expandability we've all been wanting for ages.
and yet we still moan.
- and there's even an option for wheels! what's not to like?hans_glib
- Power-wise it looks incredible, but I'll never own one. Most people on here won't either.
The handles are probably easier to use than the G5's too.PhanLo - The people who need that Mac Pro and are willing to spend the money know exactly who they are.mg33
- I had no idea there were film-making reference monitors pushing $10, $15, $20K. It sound's like Apple's monitor might be a no-brainer for film studios.mg33
- A 5" film-grade display is $1k. A 10" is pushing $3k. Having a freakin 30" is insanely innovative at those specs. Some people simply don't understand.monospaced
- Sorry, but the base model is "so expensive". $6k is so far beyond the sum of it's parts, it's absurd. And, there's about a 2% chance expandability isn'tsection_014
- locked to Apple. Or, some super small subset of 3rd party vendors.section_014
- Surprisingly there are already third-party "modules" announced for it. It'll be interesting to see if that market grows.evilpeacock
- I'm not surprised by that. Lots of people are excited to start hacking this via PCI slots.monospaced
- Overall shithot. Lack of nvidia gpus puzzles me though. Niche for sure, many 3d render engines use cuda acceleration+denoisi... arnold, rs, clarisse, vrayseldon
- + yeah hansMrT
- I predict the NVIDIA issue will be figured out in little time. Let the hackers hack.monospaced

Well this gotta be a joke: As powerful as the new monitor is... WTF $4999? And a stand not included but the stand alone costs $1K?
Damn man.
- "Pro" NOT "Prosumer"...
....*sigh*ideaist - I can afford the stand!nb
- this is going to be a big flop. What software are pro users going to run on such a powerful setup?shapesalad
- users that need amazing monitors and super power tend to be 3D peeps - who prefer nivida, octane and can get it all cheaper in PC form.shapesalad
- plus it looks shit. Doesn't look 'apple'. Looks more like a tacky Chinese version of a dell, designed for CPC members to use as a status symbol.shapesalad
- I will get jus the standzaq
- yeah too thick. as cool as it is, swivel feature is way too much for for writing code and designing websites._niko
- but, fuck how does it work without the stand?_niko
- just lean it against the wall? lol_niko
- don't worry, the first version is thick enough to stand without stand. lolapi
- Video people obviously. I know studios that are already placing orders.monospaced
- Vesa mounting is the intended use without the stand, apparently magnetically if you watch the video on the site.evilpeacock
- lol api_niko
- Who's fucking brilliant idea was it to price the stand at 1K. Jobs is starting a fucking mosh pit in his grave.davey_g

Is Mojave Adobe-friendly yet? There were issues a few months ago so I held off upgrading.

- good to know as i've also held off but wanna do the update soonprophetone
- doesn't like older versions, keeps telling me that I need to upgrade eventually. Crashes when i do a save for web. Illy type is slow.
I might have to bite the_niko - ...bullet and actually subscribe to CC. Sorry Bennnn_niko

For me, the new stuff has only disadvantages. As long as my old MacBook Air is still alive, I am happy with it (7 years now). The updates are all disadvantages to me:
- fingerprint login (my assistants need to operate it too)
- weight, size, battery life all the same
- no more card reader, only usb-cMaybe, it's a sign I'm getting old. But this new hardware is nothing I desire.
- TouchID is additional. You can still use the standard password typing. Also as a pro photographer you should get the new MacBook Pro's. They're great.NBQ00
- Just don't bitch about no built-in SD card reader, get an adapter.NBQ00
- You need a thumb for your assistants to login Simon? I can get you a thumb by 3 o'clock!Hayzilla
- LOL @ NBQ00 trying to tell Simon how to do his job. The dude shoots naked women for a living and uses a macbook air, YOU should figure out how that works notzarkonite
- the other way around ;)zarkonite
- On Android you can add many fingerprints, not just yours... You should prob be able to do the same with Apple (?)Bennn
- Hey, take it easy guys. Did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Love my MacBook Air.SimonFFM
- haha it was all in good jest, but I think Ben's suggestion might actually work?zarkonite

Luckily no issues with it so far in the past few weeks since I got it.

Bought the new 2018 MacBook Pro 15'' the other day. Love it. And even like the touchbar now. The base model with 2.2ghz 6-core i7 is plenty too. I don't think the faster ones are that much faster because the machine and your usage doesn't even utilize it fully most of the time. And the base model can turboboost all 6 cores up to 4.1ghz anyway if you have software that can do multi-cores and if extra speed is required.
I was on a 13'' for years. Now a 15'' laptop feels massive. But love the extra screen space.
No throttling issues either nor any problems after the updates/ patch.
Very happy and can only recommend it if you're thinking of buying one.
- I believe these are rolling out at work in a couple of weeks. I’m a bit apprehensive about the transition.monospaced
- I have the last MBP that had a mag safe charging cable and regular USB ports. Getting rid of those but adding a touch bar doesn’t seem like an upgrade to me.monospaced
- I've had a late 2016 MBP for over a year now. Do not miss magsafe at all. Maybe I got a bit more cautious to not trip over the cable...NBQ00
- ...that said there are some third-party mag-safe adapters for the usb-c if you want it back: https://www.theverge…NBQ00
- I’ll need one. The MagSafe when it first came out was such a great touch.monospaced

- ^ "Core i7" 2.8 15" Mid-2014, 16gb ram, GeForce GT 750M, 2gb vram.shapesalad
- I disagree. Been on that 2014 and can't beat the new 2018 ones. I also agree with Apple about ditching old ports. Most stuff these days over cloud.NBQ00
- I wonder if they have improved the touchbar since last year's version. I like the new machines overall, but that one aspect seems not ready for prime time.yuekit
- Like I'll be typing, and it will randomly trigger iTunes to open and other weird shit.yuekit
- I was concerned about that too. Surprisingly no accidental stuff on the TB so far. Love TouchID but hope a wider implementation on all passwords.NBQ00
- The keyboard is really nice to type on as well and slightly quieter than my previous late 2016 13'' version.NBQ00
- I've had the twenty seventeen for over a year. The touchbar sucks. I like to rest my hands at the top of keyboard and I accidentally trigger actions from touchhotroddy
- the keyboard sucks. my keys get stuck and the letter 't' will make a double enttryhotroddy
- the magsafe you don't need it. You can charge it from the left or right so tthat is a nice feature.hotroddy
- I can't can't the number of times the touchbar has been useful in one hand.hotroddy
- I upgraded, keyboard is so much better... amazing what a minute adjustment can make. Touchbar still useless. My DAW (reason) still runs crap.inteliboy
- I yet have to try BetterTouchTool to tweak the Touchbar. Not missing any features for now but people say the app is great.NBQ00
- Just love it. Can throw at it a lot. Running After Effects and 3D apps side by side, rendering and CPU less than 40-50% on all cores.NBQ00

this cunt of a phone just erased all of my passwords. imessages, gmail accounts, apps accounts... everything.
next phone won't be an iphone, I'm over that shit.
Fuck you Apple®
- Not trying to defend them, because that sucks majorly. Was there nothing backed up to iCloud though? That’s saved my ass a couple times.monospaced
- you were definitely holding it wrong.dopepope
- I have no trust in iCloud, sooner or later it's going to be hacked, I don't want anything to do with it.dyspl
- backup?inteliboy

- And mono, I used to pay an extra price for apple devices for simple reasons : reliability, and ease of use.dyspl
- now I can't access one of my gmail account... I've reset the password, etc... the thing won't add it. I'm not a 60+ grandma trying her phone for the 1st time.dyspl
- Their stuff is getting more and more clunky by the day... it's just not worth it anymore IMO.dyspl
- You decided not to enact auto backups, which do work and are reliable and simple. Sucks.monospaced
- Mono.... you're trying to deviate the subject. Backups have nothing to do with the phone being less reliable.dyspl

- it’s not fanboyism ... I genuinely think this sucks ... I’ve never heard of it happening either and I’m not alone in my opinion, obviously.monospaced

"Chinese Woman Gets Refund Because the iPhone X Thinks All Asians Look the Same"
"A woman from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China has been offered two refunds after both her iPhone X devices were unlocked by her colleague through faulty facial recognition.
The woman, who wishes to be referred to by her last name, Yan, told the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation that she set up the facial recognition software as instructed when she purchased her new iPhone X; despite this, a colleague, when testing the feature, was able to unlock the phone by using her face."

High Sierra (10.13.1) — Anyone upgrade yet? Will it brick my MBP (Late 2013, 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 16GIG RAM)?
currently sitting on Sierra 10.12.6
- Don't do it!instrmntl
- if your working with that machine i would wait.GuyFawkes
- I have a 2011, it did make it faster & much smoother. BUT! I had a corruption with the install and had to reinstall everything. So make sure you have a backup.sofakingback
- The customer service guy said it wasn't necessarily the upgrades fault. It could have already existed on my drive and the install just exposed it.sofakingback
- k... given ya'llz initial comments and the fact my iPhone 6+ might as well be a brick since the latest upgrade I will stay put... thx <3PonyBoy

Harvard Study Proves Apple Slows Down old iPhones to Sell Millions of New Models
