Sounds promising. Hello again was displayed on the first iMac, back in 1998.
I'd be worried if they chose "goodbye" as catch phrase for their event

Oh so tired of the "left the pro market".
I can agree about still photography, but fcpx rocks and it's super fast, super stable and really advanced when you learn how to use it.
Heck, I can work with my 6K Red Dragon files natively, and have full access to the metadata from inside the app. Fcxp even had support for the new Red cameras weeks before Adobe Premier this summer. (And I worked on many broadcast shows that use fcpx as their NLE)
Would love to get a new MP that are a bit more reasonably priced, but won't bet on it. The dollar is just too strong these days
STOP GETTING DISTRACTED WITH STUPID THINGS LIKE NEW MACS AND BRING OUT THE NEW MACS!!1!

Yeah, I'd like the ethernet jack back (rocking it old school).
Really? Mine is doing just fine. I mean, it's your money but I think some people believe they need to update their Mac more regularly than they actually might. My brother's original MacBook Air lasted him 7 years before it died, technology just doesn't move on fast enough with PCs.

I'd still hold on to them until after the keynote.
As far as I've read they re-added missing functions to FCPX step by step. I could imagine that the source code of FCP7 had been grown to a behemoth that had become increasingly difficult to maintain. Even more so, as older programmers left or retired - and the new ones were not familiar with the old sources and some "special tricks" in them, so new functions could break stable existing ones and the testing effort had grown out of proportion. Some of those problems seem to have "recently" occured with OSX itself.
In such a scenario it might be better to make a clear restart from scratch, instead of continuing the old sources. Other 1st party software (such as Aperture) could have been evaluated under similar aspects.
I doubt that the MacBook would see an update already after the refresh earlier this year. If you're willing to go for a different form factor though and accept to have fans again in a 13" MacBook Pro (or a potential Retina Air) ...
I didn't literally mean last forever, but I believe with the size of the MacBook Pro's battery an ARM SoC could last dozens of hours of usage, over 100 if counting background usage.
That is a good point, I've all ready forgotten that laptops usually have fans.
I'd been using an iPad Pro since March so been a while since I had a portable "machine" with fans.The thing I would be most interested in is a standalone 5k display and updated mac mini. I still like the idea of a mac mini then a imac so I can just replace the old mac mini with a new one when they get updated instead of replacing the whole display. I think i've had my thunderbolt display for the last 3 mac mini releases so i'd rather stick with doing that.
From what I gather, there is not going to be really much of a performance difference at all, with the new Macs, so with that in mind, and the fact they will be removing the SD card slot, I'm going to be using the update to get the current model and save a bunch of money.
And these are exactly the issue with the current Apple. They "courageously" move on into areas that the industry may or may not need, while leaving no options or alternative in the transition. Early FCPX is one, 3.5mm is another, and now maybe the USB-C only MBP also. Just because a product works amazingly well for a few specific scenarios, doesn't mean it will the rest of the time, especially when commonly used features are missing. It maybe justified to do so in the consumer market as needs are not necessities, but in the context of "pro", in its broadest sense, a piece of tool needs to work. There used to be a time when you bought a Mac with the "Pro" word attached to it, you could expect it to accommodate whatever workflow you had. Not anymore.
You know it's bad when a Mac running in VMWARE, in Windows, is the fastest Mac you can get. UPDATE THE ENTIRE LINE PLEASE.
hello again:
- apple's greatest strength and innovation today lies with their arm designs
- intel peaked years ago with sandy bridge and subsequent designs ended up being incremental advances in performance at best
- compare performance delta expressed as a percentage between any two iphone generations vs any two intel generations since sandy bridge
- performance gains since 2013's mac pro release have not been significant enough for apple to even consider a refresh in three years, this however may be intentional and based on subpar return on investment in research and design of hardware due to low sales volume
- uncharacteristic of apple to allow itself to be indefinitely tied down to singular outsourced determinant like intel's roadmap and release schedule, arm provides a way out
- windows rt was interesting, technologically
- amd zen wildcard
- macos for ipad pro 12.9?
Any bets on a new MacBook with 2 USB C ports, the rest of the line up stays the same!
I wouldn't go that far!
But I find upgrading every 2.5 years is worth it because you can get a decent price on a second-hand Mac in good condition if it still has some AppleCare. I look after my Macs to try to keep the resale value as high as possible.
