Apple's new Macbook Pro with Retina Display
Just a few quick notes:
Discontinued is the 17" MPB so if you want one, get it before it is out of stock. 13" and 15" (Non-Retina) gets refresh (faster processors and 2 USB3 ports) Retina model comes only in 15" and is thinner and lighter (flash drive only - no spinning HD). Also DVD-RW is gone (external USB only). Ports on both left and right of notebook including HDMI port and 2 Thunderbolt ports. (NO FIREWIRE PORT) All models have faster CPU and GPU

Re: Apple's new Macbook Pro with Retina Display
They also announced a new upcoming Thunderbolt to Firewire cable, which will be great for many reasons, and will allow you to use it with this new Macbook.
The new Thunderbolt to Ethernet cable is only $29, hopefully this firewire one will be the same. |

Re: Apple's new Macbook Pro with Retina Display
That would be a great solution for many of us.

Re: Apple's new Macbook Pro with Retina Display
I would immediately buy two of those thunderbolt to firewire cables. I've been waiting for so long....

Re: Apple's new Macbook Pro with Retina Display
I am pretty new to Pro Tools. I have been using a 15" MacBook Pro that was purchased in September. I have just received the new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display and a 2.6 GHz (with a turboboost to 3.6 GHz) processer yesterday and so far the machine is amazingly fast! The only downfall I have right now is the fact that Apple as not released its new Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter yet... and for some reason I had Pro Tools 10.2 crash on me for the first time (so far it happend only once). I am hoping that the next update of PT10 will incorporate the HiDef Resolution of the Retina Display.
Like I said I am not a heavy user, only a couple of tracks here and there. But this computer is pretty amazing and light weight. I would recommend it to anyone interested.

I want to buy the retina macbook pro too, but I am afraid performance is affected by not using a second drive for recording/playback. As far as I know SSD are not officially supported by Avid and they always recomend a second drive just for record/playback. |
