The main focus of this hardware refresh is the CPU, though. The program offers users repair or replacement for their failed butterfly keyboards at no cost throughout its duration, and Apple claims it has made improvements to its repair processes to reduce the time it takes to complete the repairs.

The company hasn't yet gotten more specific than that, so we'll have to wait on teardowns and testing to learn more. We have a couple hockey team clients that I do a bunch of jumbotron graphics for and I am just ramping up for my heavy workload season so the new machine couldn't have come any sooner.Further Reading Apple apologizes for failing MacBook keyboards yet againApple says it has changed the material it is using in the new, fourth-generation keyboards, and the company expects the change to substantially reduce the prevalence of issues with keys double-typing without user input or failing to type at all with user input. I've spent all day installing software and plugins and migrating data but can't wait to actually get to work on it tomorrow. Luckily I am already set for storage as my company invested in a 20tb raid box last year with FW800 and Thunderbolt so we could eventually transition over.

I can finally stop relying on my personal MacBook Pro for heavier after effects projects. Obviously more ram will be necessary down the line but I am happy for this upgrade of over 6 year hardware improvement. Last week after months of asking I finally got the approval to order a new Mac Pro.Ī refurb 6 core with d500s 256gb flash & 16gb ram arrived today to replace the old 2x3ghz quad core x1500xt 512mb, 7200rpm HD with 10gb of ram. I do video editing, motion gfx, Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign and a few other things with acrobat and office. for 3 years using a Mac Pro they bought in 2007. I've been at my company as a solo creative dept.
