[MACBOOK PRO 2018 REVIEW RE-DO]
It was nine years ago that my long-struggling HP zd8000 crashed for the final time - and it would turn out to be the last PC I owned. After a lifetime spent on Windows, I made the jump to the MacBook Air - and I couldn’t have loved it more. It wasn’t just that it was ten pounds lighter than my previous machine; it was also more powerful to boot. My father and I built our first KZfaq channel entirely on the back of a MacBook Air in iMovie; later, I would use a newer MacBook Air to help grow the Pocketnow KZfaq Channel, this time in Final Cut Pro. These machines let me do more of the work I loved ... and when I graduated to a MacBook Pro in 2015, all the added utility made up for the loss of portability.
Sadly, when Apple redesigned the MacBook Pro in 2016 to trim some of the pounds it had picked up … it also ended up building a worse computer. Over the past year and a half, I’ve owned two versions of this expensive misfire, and if I didn’t still use Final Cut Pro every day, I’d have moved on a long time ago. This is the MacBook 2018 Review Re-Do.

I have seen various reviews and comments from other KZfaqrs who have mentioned the same issues as this video highlights. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the new 16Inch MacBook Pro lives up to the hype. As for video creation/editing , I use iMovie myself and I am very happy with this.

@@bibletwink666 Exactly. I considered the new surface book and surface laptop, mainly because i liked the 3:2 aspect ratio which is very similar to mac's 16:10. Turns out the surface book has a major hardware issue with cracking screens because the design makes the glass at the top of the screen touch the base when closed. Just check out the reviews for these surface devices on microsoft's own website, full of broken screens and other issues and these devices sadly cost just as much as the macbooks they compete with. If Dell ever makes an XPS model with a 3:2 or 16:10 aspect ratio I would certainly consider it but all the pc laptop makers stick to 16:9 :(

@macintalkshow 5 жыл бұрын

I gave up on Macs maybe five or six years ago. To be clear, I'm not a professional, and I'm not here to tell anyone that they're "wrong" for still liking or enjoying Apple products: if Mac and iPhone still works for you, that's awesome. I honestly miss a lot of things about Mac, but all of the little annoyances and difficulties just built up for me to the point where I ditched the ecosystem and went back to Windows. Apple's simple and efficient design aesthetic used to be the gold standard of computers (especially laptops), but at least for me, they've really lost sight of that standard. They still make beautiful devices from design standpoint, and they're still brilliantly functional, but there are so many little drawbacks, bugs, and compromises now that it's just not worth it to me to shell out for a MacBook Pro every few years when I can just build a high-end desktop PC and buy a cheap Windows laptop to do all the other stuff I need to be able to do on the go. And again, to be clear, I am not a professional, I don't use my desktop or laptop for video editing, at most I do a bit of hobbyist-level music production. So I understand that someone tied into Final Cut would find it very hard to cut the cord. Anyway. I'm rambling, but, yeah, I share your sentiment. If I felt I could RELY on the MacBook Pro the way I used to, I'd go back to it. It's just not for me anymore.

I've been using Macs professionally for nearly two decades now, for video, photo, graphic design, and audio production. I still have to use Macs at work, because it's what we have there. But, Apple has massively declined in quality and reliability for their devices, and the OS that runs them. And so I now only buy Windows devices; they are cheaper, more powerful, and just as reliable. It used to be that people ran Macs because 'it just works', but that statement is just not true anymore. And not only that, but many of their really brilliant creative professional products have either been downgraded or discontinued. Why buy an unreliable Mac for FCPX, when you can instead use Resolve, Avid, or Vegas? Better yet, most professionals have Adobe CC anyways, so just use Premiere (which is much better). Sketch? Use XD, which is free.

Since I still very much prefer to work on this machine compared to Windows, including a few exclusive programs to Mac OS I use. The workflow are just way quicker on Mac OS.

Sad thing is Apple is not the only company with reliability issues in their machines. I have a Dell laptop that, for the past 2 years, has given me nothing but problems. I have had to send the machine off to the service center 7 TIMES, with 2 replacement machines in a year due to issues that fell under the warranty, ranging from touch screen issues to a faulty palmrest that caused the keyboard to dip down into the chassis. I am a student, and being without my laptop for up to 3 weeks due to constantly shipping the laptop back to the service center (Because Dell put the wrong part on, or didn't do the work that they were supposed to) made my classes much harder. Even the laptop I have now (which they gave to me new, but without a warranty, as it had run out during one of the trips to the service center) has issues with the touchscreen failing (I ended up writing a script that I keep in my taskbar to disable and reenable the touchscreen to fix the problem). Not to mention the first model (The one I have now is a later generation of the design) had 1 USB 3 port, and a USB 2.0 port on a mid-to-high-end computer purchased in 2017, as well as a USB C port that didn't support Thunderbolt.

I have the early 2016 MacBook Pro and am currently looking to upgrade, but I have a conundrum of sorts. Im wondering should I upgrade this year which will undoubtedly bring a somewhat new design or should I wait until next year which MAY bring the rumored MacBook Pro using Apple's own custom silicon.

Z3U5 It depends. FCPX is definitely well-optimized, and works fairly well even on mid-range hardware. It's editing and color tools are a bit lackluster though, especially compared to Premiere. It's definitely easier to learn, but lacks true JKL editing and anything resembling a sophisticated trim mode like AVID.

If you don't mind waiting a bit longer on rendering video, then it's not really a problem. Unless you use a 500 dollar Windows Laptop. If you're using a 2000 dollar laptop with dedicated graphics, it's shouldn't be much of a problem. Yes, I like FCPX. But the price of affording a Mac for it is too high for an average consumer. So yes, I compromise the hardware optimisation for DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (I can't really afford CC).

Apple should pull the MacBooks from the market as it's a defective product. That's what companies are supposed to do - Don't sell us defective stuff. Redesign the Macbook, hire a few folks from Lenovo to design the new keyboard, and release a MacBook worthy of the name. Sadly, this ain't our Apple anymore. This iteration of Apple has a very hostile view toward it's customers, whether it's soldering on RAM and SSD's, throttling phones to push new purchases, lazily updating processors yet still charging premium prices for underperforming machines and most damning, fighting efforts to allow consumers to repair their own machines. Michael, this Apple sees customers the way used car lots sees customers - as marks to be had.

Couldn't have said it better. I've been an Apple user and evangelist since 2000 and these past few years and products have properly let me down to the point that i'm now telling people to go buy a windows machine to get a lot of bang for their bucks. I'm personally not buying new Apple computers until Tim Cook leaves. His one and only focus is profit over everything else. Apple needs a proper visionary to come in like Satya Nadella replacing Balmer (another profit hungry bean counter) at Microsoft.

Well despite the usuals here who would love to see this type of video my 2018 MacBook Pro 15 has been 100% rock solid. I type on it for a living so it has to be reliable to run my business on. No issues at all. Very well built machine. Had it for nearly a year now. So glad I got rid of that Lenovo X1 Carbon nightmare. After 3 machines, plus my buddy's X1 Extreme I'm done with Lenovo and it's horrible customer service. I would take one or two problems with a MacBook then deal with Lenovo's X1 Carbon's warped screens they've been sending to customers. After googling, I'm glad to know there were many people who got warped screens, so I was not alone. The X1 Extreme is just junk. Trying to be a mainstream computer but overheats, drains battery and fans sound like jet engine. Lenovo doesn't help customers. They want you to buy and go away. IBM, you made a mistake turning your business over to Lenovo. They make junk now.

It takes some getting used to, but I’ve become faster and have had less wrist and hand fatigue since then. I’m excited about the new MBP, but more excited about iOS 13 for the iPad!
