I know this is a multifaceted issue so I'm not sure I'm posting in the right section, but I'd like to be able to stream PC games to my TV using Boot Camp on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1, which has a 3.2Ghz Octocore, 32GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM, an HD 5770, and running El Cap/Windows 7 Ultimate dual boot off a 1TB SSD.

Macbook Pros also ships with a number of ports, like the Thunderbolt which is recognized by many audio hardware companies. It’s easy to find an audio interface with a thunderbolt connection. There are a few things you have to watch before investing in a Macbook Pro. First, while it’s really fast, most Macbook Pros ship with very little hard disk storage. I find this limiting because I normally install lots of sample instruments into my computer. A installation will take up to 320GB of space on your computer, more than what most Macbook Pros ship with. An iMac in a home recording studio I like the iMac a lot not because it’s really quiet, but because you get a large screen real estate.

Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) had been released and Windows users were faced with an ageing and insecure Windows XP or the not very fondly remembered Vista. Today Windows users have the very respectable Windows 10 and a choice of hardware ranging from the cheap and indifferent to Apple levels of design (and cost). On the other hand nowadays Apple users have a very limited range of expensive, locked down machines for which the only upgrade option is to replace the computer.

A: I rarely use the Touch Bar; if so, it’s only for volume, brightness and the escape key. What I do use a lot is the touch ID. I enjoy being able to access my MacBook Pro through my fingerprint. Q: Final thoughts: if you could further improve the new MacBook Pro, what would you do? A: Probably keep pushing the envelope on power while keeping strong design as Apple does. The MBP has held up well with all the things I have thrown at it.

- Played from a Lumaforge Jellyfish 10 GigE desktop shared storage system (1034 MB/s per client): 16 streams ProRes 422 HQ 4K at Best Quality without any problems at. Playback without any lag on un-rendered timelines. We are going to do some more testing with native highly compressed 4K as well, but that should not be a real problem for the i7 processor as long as you use fast enough drives. Best wishes, Ronny. You did not mention what codec your 4k video was shot with. I think that the speed of the drive holding the 4k is very important. If you want to edit 4k then a RAID would be a good idea.

You can use it to change the number of columns without starting a new page.

Then get the Mac Pro. I’ve never got my hands to actually finish a music piece on a Mac Pro, but looking at its specifications I’d say it’s worth a go if you want the best on a Mac platform. The Mac Pro is actually an overkill for music production. I’ll lay down the pros for you.

But when you work natively with very compressed XAVC, AVCHD or H.264 video, the GPU will have to work much harder. If you optimize the XAVC 4K footage to ProRes before editing, you won't have any issues at all. But wether an i5 is fast enough to decode native 4K XAVC on the fly (while also handling many other processes), without any hickups, I don't know. I do know the 5K 27' iMac with an i7 handles any given native video you throw at it very well, I have a few ones of these. But I cannot guarantee that the i5 is up to the same task. I think you should test this first.
