Using a Macbook 2016?

Hello,

I'm a PM5 user since couple of months.

Recently mi MBP 13" 2009 is showing some sign of age...

I'm investigating on getting a new laptop.

I use PM5 on my laptop mainly for fast ingestion and quick selection before editing possibly on a bigger Mac

I was wondering if someone had the experience of the last MacBook? I know and would accept the unique port.

The discussion here is really is it powerful enough? I use PM5 for fast workflow I don´t want to suffer of slow performance because of hardware.

Thanks for your feedback,

I upgraded recently from a Mid 2010 MBP to a Mid 2015 retina pro with ssd. I find it much faster in all aspects, I have not tried thunderbolt card reader so can't say much on speed. I use the usb 3.0 pro workflow readers and found them to be much faster then my FW readers. If your 2009 MBP was powerful enough for the apps you are using now then the new iteration of MBP's will work just fine.

Thanks @Rguzmanphoto

My concern was more regarding the MB 12" not the pro version... I'm still not sure if it will handle correctly PM

Hi,

I had a MacBook 12" and found it very underpowered, in the end I went back to using my MacBook Late 2008, which seems to operate just a fast.

6 Month after I'm still in the same dilemma. A fairly unstable MBP 5.5 2009 that is still doing the job.

I looked at the lastest version of MBP but I'm not fully convinced.

I love the MB12" design but reading you Goddenphoto if you are still taking your old 2008 it does not make sense for me to upgrade (or downgrade actually?)

Any other solution or experience?
