20 minutes update on a 2017 MacBook Pro TB. During the update process it did a few reboots and the fans were spinning at full speed for some minutes. No problems far...
 
Nvidia is still far away, it is Nvidia fault. Also Nvidia Drivers are terrible. AMD instead have great drivers. Vega 56 heat 1080 in many benchs and Vega 64 compete with 1080 ti. No need for Nvidia at all, just for Cuda but Metal and OpenCL are replacing it slowly.
This is the official release, with clamshell and eject also support correctly a wide range of cards by eGPU works native since 10.13. Apple is not late in the game at all with eGPU
 
This update will break displaylink if you use it for your docking station and external monitors it has done since the fist beta came out and remained that way through all 7 Beta updates I would expect no change with this General Release
 
My 5 year old iMac wouldn’t boot after this. Tried safe mode to no avail. Now reinstalling from time machine.

I had a similar problem with a Mac mini I found either of the following got me past this.

1) Boot into verbose mode hold command + v keys down during power up
or
2) Boot into single user mode hold command + s keys down during power up do the /sbin/fsck as detailed on the screen

I found either of the above always got me past the boot issue. Also on the very odd occasion I add to do a nvram reset which is the command+option+R+P combination during power up hold the keys like that until you hear the apple start sound cycle through twice.

Hope it helps if you haven't started the restore already

Just updated my 2014 15" MacBook Pro. No issue whatsoever. 30 minutes and it was done, after a few reboots.

Now downloading update for my late 2015 iMac, then the late-2012 MacBook Pro and then the 2012 Mac Mini. My only gripe is the PITB to run four different upgrade downloads since Content Caching has never worked for me.

Bring full APFS support to external disks, Time Machine and repair applications like DiskWarrior. Otherwise it is a deal breaker!

I have one question: if you did buy some apps in the Mac AppStore in the past, that doesn't have or will have 64-bit versions, will these be deleted? How can someone make a backup copy of these?
 
My Mac Pro 5.1 took 22 minutes with no problems.
Now waiting for Nvidia update which usually takes a day or 2.

Still can't set digital input to 48kz
