It’s so light and thin that I can actually hold the machine in one hand while typing with my other hand. This machine is so light and portable, that it feels futuristic. It’s still hard to believe that such a capable machine exists in such a form-factor, but it does, and it’s called the MacBook. Many factors come into play here, but it’s nice to know that you can always fall back on using Proxy media, which downsamples video content so that it can be easily edited, and then you can switch back to the high quality versions when you’re ready to export. You may find that scrubbing through a timeline filled with 4K video is a bit taxing on the little m5 processor. That being said, exporting and editing 4K video are two separate tasks.

If you edit videos on your Mac, and you’re a Final Cut Pro X user, you’ll be amazed at how fast you can export 4K projects. QuickSync Video makes exporting projects using Final Cut Pro’s Faster Encode option a breeze. I’ve long known that the MacBook was capable of doing this, thanks to Final Cut Pro’s use of Intel’s QuickSync Video hardware encoding, but seeing it in action personally on such an “underpowered” machine is truly something to be seen. With Final Cut Pro X, it’s easy to export videos, even Ultra High Definition 4K videos, without breaking much of a sweat.

The Anker PowerCore+ 20100 ( full review), for instance, is a $49.00 USB-C-enabled battery pack that can charge a MacBook from 0% to 100% with juice to spare. You can easily toss a battery pack or two in your laptop bag, and have enough juice to work uninterrupted for hours on end. The MacBook, on the other hand, can take advantage of much smaller external battery packs, and draw upon power via a USB-C connection. As nice as the idea of a BatteryBox-like device is, it’s still a bit cumbersome to use in practice. My MacBook Pro always seemed to be low on power at the most inopportune times, and charging a MacBook Pro requires you to connect it to a power outlet, unless you have something like a BatteryBox.
It’s not a flawless solution, as you’ll see from my upcoming full review of the display, but it features some definite advantages.Īpple’s vision for a one-cable-solution is not yet perfected - the company’s own displays lack the necessary USB-C ports - but you can definitely see where Apple is aiming. Once all of the pieces fall into place, the single cable strategy will work a lot better than it does now. This means that you can easily use a compatible external display as a docking station by means of a single USB-C cable. Not only will a single cable provide the bandwidth to drive an external display, but it will also charge the MacBook and allow it to interface with devices connected to the display’s ports. While it’s true that the MacBook can only do 4K resolution at 30Hz, having the ability to connect it to a USB-C-enabled display like LG’s 27UD88-W 4K monitor is a nice option.
With the 12″ MacBook, there are no fans, so you don’t have to worry about this machine making noise. Its fans often sounded like a jet engine, eagerly firing up at the slightest hint of stress. Sadly, my MacBook Pro with Retina display rarely afforded me such an environment. No fan noiseĪs someone who records voiceovers and podcasts, having a quiet recording environment can be crucial. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider going with a MacBook if you’re in the market for something powerful, yet portable.
#BEST MAC FOR DEVELOPERS 2016 PORTABLE#
24 hours later, I’m convinced that this is the best laptop for me, and a much better portable workhorse than something like a 12.9″ iPad Pro. Yesterday, I bought a 12″ MacBook, and after playing with it for 10 minutes, I immediately knew that I made the right decision.
