On the Retina MacBook Pro
"Scrolling and animation tasks are jerky or just plain slow. I can’t deal with that in a new machine. Maybe in a year or two when it can drive its screen and a large external retina smoothly."
What? Has the author used one recently? These problems were fixed within a month of original release. I've been using one for over a year and love it.
- veidr 13y agoThey are not completely fixed. They did fix some of the issues (and continue to), but I just don't think the hardware has the capacity to make it right. There are all kinds of graphical lagging, jerking, and stuttering in my completely-maxed-out-with-all-upgrades latest model Retina MacBook Pro, when using it with 30" external monitors. Like using Exposé with a couple dozen apps open is like: - Hit button - Wait... thinking... thinking... - Still thinking... wait for it... - OK, here is the Exposé mini-window view, sans animation EDIT: AND, I should add, my monitors are the old stone-age 2560x1600 type of 30-inch, not the awesome modern high-res type ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ4BIKA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DJ4BIKA&linkCode=as2&tag=mamaco-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ4BIKA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_... ). I don't believe the current MBP can even drive an external 4K display, which is what I think the OP was referring to. EDIT2: woah, I realized at that price, I really should be using an affiliate link where I get a kickback if anybody buys it. ;-)
- kalleboo 13y agoMy Retina MacBook Pro bogs down graphically all the time. Websites with a lot of position:fixed or transparent backgrounds are a common culprit. iPhoto is another one. I can't imagine how bad the Apple pro apps run.
