Happy Saturday Guys,
Long story short...I’m in the market for a new lap top that I’ll be essentially be doing freelance work from home with. Have 3 options to choose from an would love to see what all the users in the forum would advise..
Option 1. Buy the current higher end MacBook Pro.
Specs aren’t the worst. (2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz
64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory
8TB SSD storage.) it would run HD no problem and possibly 4K real time with a EGPU.
Option 2. Wait for the new MacBook Pro announcement next month. Couple of issues with this...
Apparently they’re switching from intel chips over to apple made ones. Apparently there’s a bunch of possibilities of software not running on these new chips. Another issue is no one knows anything good or bad about these.
Option 3. Buy a beefed up Lenevo lap top. For a cheaper price I could buy a lap top that will have a better processor, more ram, better graphics cards, etc. issue with this is it’ll be a PC and creating ProRes files will be a pain. Not impossible but will have to do work arounds
Whatever information, recommendations, suggestions you guys can give I would greatly appreciate.
As always, thanks guys!
