Apple Macbook Pro 15.4 Laptop W Editing Program

I upgraded from 2012 15.4 MacBook Pro, which still runs well but I needed the latest for my consulting project. This laptop is beastly in its speed and processing power. Display is superb and the battery life is 20+ hours every single time. I look forward to carrying this laptop without power cord when I am at clients' site or on the road. I am a management consult and hence usually use office productivity apps but I will need some serious processing power for database and BI apps like PowerBI and Tableaux. I think I have 10 times the processing power I will need. The price is high but in terms of value, it's going to be as good as 2012 MacBook Pro, which still is very good, after 11 years! So, this is a steal for those who are looking for the state of the art technology and the best long-term value!

I use it for my Apple MacBook Pro laptop. The laptop fits well. Durable product.

The Apple 13.6 MacBook Air laptop absolutely nails everything work. From menial daily routines to demanding tasks like Adobe software, DAW [like Logic Pro], and video editing. Apple Macs, including this one, don't perform well in gaming. M2 sometimes overheats, especially if the game is particularly demanding or not optimized for running on arm chips [M1, M2]. Best money/performance value if you're looking for a typing, surfing, or light editing solution.

I bought two of these to use with my MacBook Pro M1 Max as a video editing workstation. ***Note that the only way I was able to display 4K at 60 hertz on both monitors simultaneously was to plug BOTH monitors directly to the MacBook via USB-C to DisplayPort cables. Once I did that and stopped trying to get them to work through the Thunderbolt 4 Dock I have, everything looks excellent.*** The resolution is great, as I can have Premiere Pro open on both monitors with one of the two showing the footage in the program window at close to actual size, which helps to see all the detail of the 4K image while editing. Colors look really good, and while this isn't a reference monitor designed for color grading Hollywood movies, it's plenty accurate for my videography work. Aside from video editing, text is super sharp and crisp, and photos and websites look excellent. Since it's an LCD, black levels are never going to look as inky black as they do on an OLED display, but that's to be expected. You can always get a small OLED TV to use as a makeshift client reference monitor. I originally wanted the Apple Studio Display, but at $1600 for one monitor, it was way too expensive for me. On Black Friday, I was able to snag TWO of these Asus ProArt 27 displays for under $800. That's less than half of ONE Apple display! Sure, it's not made of shiny aluminum, but who cares? Image quality is all I need, and this delivers in spades. Plus, they come with VESA mounting holes in the back as standard, so I was able to place them on a two-monitor VESA mounting arm and free up a bunch of space on my desk. I know the Apple display is 5K and this one is 4K, but two 4K monitors side by side get me way more resolution and work space than one 5K monitor. All in all, I heartily recommend this Asus ProArt 4K monitor to anyone looking for a high-res 27 LCD for content creation and general computing on a Mac (as long as you plug it in directly and not through a docking station).

I use all the connections with my Apple MACbook Pro. I do a lot of video and audio editing and use external SSDs, speed works well in edits as if the files were native to the internal drive.

This hooked right up with my 2017 15.4" MacBook Pro.� Gives me the extra screen real estate I need when I'm not at my office hooked up to my bigger monitor.

If you don't mind the weight, then this is the best and last laptop case you'll ever need. I can fit: 2017 15.4 Mac-book Pro + Charger + Magic Mouse II iPad Pro 12.9 Amazon Kindle Paper White WD Portable HDD 4TB I can also fit some pens, portable charger and business cards All Cables, USB adapter, Apple Pencil, and Powerbeats 2 earphones can be fit in LIHIT LAB Pen Case 3 x 9.4 The total Weight is about 20lbs.

This product works great for me. I run an Apple MacBook Pro laptop computer, I run a RodeCasterPro II Podcast Studio and I charge several Sony camera batteries for my Still and Cinema Line camcorders with precision high speed charging. I am extremely impressed with this product.

using this to connect a new Macbook Pro laptop to an older Apple 24 monitor. Monitor still looks great, and this adapter works perfectly to prolong the life of this 10-year old monitor.

Why, oh why do I have to be an Apple fanboy? It's so unattractive. But look. As a MacBook Pro user who has his laptop hooked up to a monitor, I do need an external keyboard. After Apple ditched the wired version, I refused to indulge them on their wireless shenanigans, and went for a third party product. Big surprise: It's not as good. Not as expensive, for sure, but saving forty dollars is not a bargain if you're constantly unhappy. And keys that won't respond, or are in the SLIGHTLY wrong position, or don't give your fingertips the right feedback, are like a pebble in your shoe. Gotta spring for the real deal. So far, it's still running on its first charge, so I can't even really complain about the wireless thing. You win again, evil empire.
