They are reversible, hold cables very tightly, are thin and support power, audio, data and displays on a single port. That said, I really like the new USB-C ports. After all this time with Apple, I’ve come to expect it, which is why my computer bag weighs 30 pounds. Apple has never seen a port that it doesn’t like cancelling – generally about two years too soon. Not to mention countless display connectors. SCSI 25-pin, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, TOSLink, DVD and SD slots are all ports to which I’ve said good-bye. The lack of ports, or, more accurately, dropping old ports in favor of new ones, is a long tradition at Apple.

The laptops did very well in measures of display quality and performance, but in terms of battery life, we found that the models varied dramatically from one trial to another. Just this morning, Consumer Reports wrote: “Apple launched a new series of MacBook Pro laptops this fall, and Consumer Reports’ labs have just finished evaluating them. NOTE: However, not everyone thinks battery life is unimportant. And, if I was in the middle of the wilderness, I’d bring external batteries “just in case.” I have yet to travel anywhere where I don’t have access to power. Performance is much more important and running the computer full-tilt during editing just eats battery life. Yes, longer battery life is nice if I’m browsing the web or sending email, but not if I’m editing a movie. For them, thin is good.īattery life is also much less important to me. NOTE: However, it has been pointed out that video journalists who need to travel swift and light in difficult areas aren’t able to take extra gear. While the new MacBook Pro is 14% thinner and 10% lighter than the previous version, this emphasis on thinness is meaningless to me given all the rest of the gear I need for training, presentations or editing. It weighs about 30 pounds and travels with me around the world.

My present computer case, carrying a 2013 MacBook Pro, currently contains the computer, a typing stand, two hard disks, a small RAID, hard-wire ethernet cable, portable amplified speakers, and converter cables for every known connection. I find some of these criticisms valid, while others are not.įrom my perspective, Apple’s insistence on thinness in its pro laptops makes no sense. The MacBook Pro has been criticized for its emphasis on thinness, its lack of ports, its variable battery life and whether it is “pro” enough. NOTE: Here’s an article on the Touch Bar and how it’s used inside Final Cut Pro X. Finally, in the How Adobe and Apple Use RAM and Storage section, I present a technical look at how Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Apple Final Cut Pro X use RAM and storage during editing. In the Practical Speed Tests section, I measure performance specs when editing SD, HD and 4K material in single track, multicam and with four video streams running at once. In the Philosophy section, I look at the words “best” and “fast enough.” In the Technical section, I provide speed measurements of the system.

Whether the MacBook Pro is fast enough can be answered in different ways – so I looked at all of them, plus examined where desktops fit into this whole equation:

NOTE: Based on this research and additional conversations with knowledgeable engineers, I’ve written an article outlining my recommendations on how to configure the 2016 MacBook Pro for video editing while still saving money. I was surprised many times during my research for this article and I think you will be, too. In this report, you’ll find answers to key questions like: How much speed do I need? And what really loads down the computer?

Whether you use Avid, Adobe, Apple – or any other Mac-based video editing software – video editing is one of the hardest tasks we can do on a computer because it taxes the entire system. So, I’ve spent the last two weeks working with one and thinking about how to best answer this question. I’ve been fascinated by the ongoing discussion about whether the new MacBook Pro laptop is fast enough for serious video editing.
