Sort of...
The latest Mac OS Big Sur update was the final nail in my coffin of realization that I need to update my 2015 MacBook Pro. Yes, shutting off the GPU allowed LRc to function normally, etc., but there's more to it. I'm doing a good bit more video work these days, and with 4K use now commonplace and 8K for the masses just over the horizon, I'm still working with a system optimized for 1080p. All that, plus I've got a swelling battery, USB ports that constantly need resetting, and the like...
So, let's make this as fun as it can possibly be: spend my money and put together the ideal MacBook Pro video and photo-processing machine. My only criteria is that I'm looking at as much screen real estate as is possible, so the 16 inch Retina will be the one. But, GPU, RAM, processor, and other options have to be decided upon. Let's hear your input!
But before you start, there are some fixed, and 'in stone' rules: first, no PC suggestions, I'm invested in and staying with Mac; second, it must be a MacBook Pro, as I live on a small sailboat and don't have room or power for anything else; and third...I forgot what my third rule was. Ah well.
Let's hear it - what say you?
