Unable to be upgraded after specc'ing during purchase.
1) It's Apple, they've been cutting off tinkerers for years
2) It's an SoC, rather than discrete CPU/GPU, so it's all a single, soldered, and un-socketed package on the logic board
As somebody who likes to record externally in ProRes on my Atomos... These new MacBook Pros are going to be a significant upgrade with the built-in ProRes decoder/encoder accelerators on the SoC. Having a 1000nit-sustained display is going to be great for HLG workflows too. These are going to be...
Apple doesn't lock anybody into HEIF to keep them in a walled garden. When sharing from an Apple device, images/videos get converted to standard JPEG/H.264 on-the-fly for the sake of maintaining compatibility.
Anecdotal, but this is not my experience with Apple Support and my MacBook Pro battery.
I have a 4+ year old 15" MBP, completely out of warranty. I recently took it in precisely because I was having some battery issues.
They are replacing it free of charge, given that I have to wait for my...
1. The actual pentile pixel structure is slightly different and the sub-pixel fill rate is higher
2. Apple has stated that they did a custom design (unless you believe they're lying to everybody)
3. Apple's display team carries OLED patents (20160204366 and 20140042406) that seem to have made it...
I don't see how some folks see this as some sort of spin from Displaymate. AFAIK, they're extremely well regarded in the field of display knowledge and expertise. It would be like calling out a Kyle review as BS.
Just a few weeks ago they crowned the Note 8 as the best mobile display ever, so I...
I have a 65KS8000. Anybody else have issues with seeing micro stutters? Like on some content, there appears to be frame drops. This happens on live TV, Netflix, and Blu Ray.
Here's a personal use case scenario: As a photography hobbyist, I find using the current generation iPad Pro (A10X) a dream come true in conjunction with Mobile Lightroom/Photoshop, especially when traveling. I can make about 90% of the edits I would make in desktop Lightroom/Photoshop, and it...
Right, because no company should ever profit from their products.
The suicide issue seems like an industry-wide problem, not an isolated Apple-centric issue. They get the press for it, so they're obviously guilty by association, but so is most of the industry.
I guess the solution would be to...
Here's where I think smartphones, even expensive ones, are a "value" to many people, and those people are far from the demographic that knows and reads [H], much less dives into the forums.
To many people, their smartphone is their only and primary device for the following use cases: general...
We're on [H] -- And quibbling over SOFTWARE differences between iOS and Android. Use what you prefer between the 2 like installing Linux or Windows on your PC...
But have you seen the rumored CPU specs on the "iPhone X?" It looks like it will put any Snapdragon to shame...
In fact, when...
I'm looking to upgrade from Radeon 290x.
I don't have a High Refresh Monitor yet.
I'm still trying to decide whether or not to get Vega56+Freesync or GTX 10xx+Gsync.
The cost of 1440p IPS Gsync still scares me off going Nvidia.
Are they dumb and uncultured, or is OP just old? Legit question, though.
If you're born in the 80's, you would say these same things about a punch-card terminal.
I remember in the old AMD Athlon days, they were AMAZING, among the best of the best. They may just be run-of-the-mill at this point, as I see most folks going Corsair/G.Skill.
So tired of COD games now. There's not enough differentiation in them anymore.
I would hope they take a break for a year (yeah, right), and put some time into getting something GREAT on the market rather than something just good enough.
I think higher-end RAM configs on mid-range cards would eat into and cannibalize higher-end product lines.
Imagine a 970 with 6GB VRAM. Majority would have bought that over the 980 4GB variety.
