How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

Hello there,
I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
Thanks!

One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display come with a CD slot?

    Would anybody know if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a DVD slot to put a CD in?

    If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

  • Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air
    VKB

    there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

    Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

  • Does the macbook pro with retina display get heated?

    Hi I want to buy a macbook pro with retina display and i want to know more informations about it...like:-
    1-does it get heated.
    2-can I play any game without buying graphics chip.
    3-does it run 64-bit download.
    4-can order it with a CD slot.
    5-can i upgrade to a new graphics chip.
    6-if i will need a graphics chip what will i need it for.

    1.  It will if you run heavy-graphics processing such as HD-movie streaming or gaming.  But the system should shut itself down instead of overheating. And if you keep the system on a flat hard surface (rather than on bedsheets), it should be able to keep itself cool enough to not overheat.
    2. Any, no.  Many more than a 13 in that only has integrated gragpics chip in CPU, yes.
    3. Not sure what you mean.
    4. No.  You need an external optical drive.
    5. No upgrades, not even RAM or flash storage.
    6. Simple internet only requires basic graphics processing.  Streaming HD movies from NetFlix requires faster graphics response.  Gaming requires faster graphics response.  Faster graphics response requires a better graphics chip than the one integrated into the CPU, one with its own RAM.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display the same ghosting issue as the 15 inch?

    I was thinking of buying a Refurbished MacBook Pro with Retina Display and heard that the 15 inch retinas have a ghosting problem. Does the 13 inch have this problem?

    No

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • How to play a dvd on a macbook pro with retina display

    I recently bought a Macbook pro with retina display and was suprised to see that there is no slot to put a dvd or cd into. For the amount paid i feel this is ridiculous. However wish to seek a solution, does anyone know of how to solve this problem? Thankyou

    Purchase an external DVD drive and attach it to your rMBP.  Or you can purchase the Apple model specifically made for it:

  • What is the tax percentage on the Macbook Pro with Retina Display in the US

    I am interested in buying the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I would just like to know what the tax percentage of the price is when buying in the US???

    The price quoted does not include tax which is determined by the state/city where sold.  There is not a Federal tax as in Europe with the VAT.
    State taxes can run 3-10% or somewhere in that range.

  • How to Install Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro with Retina Display Using Boot Camp?

    Hello,
    I own a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and was wondering how do I install Windows 8.1 without an optical disc drive? I have bought the full version of Windows 8.1 and would like to partition it on my MacBook Pro. Could someone please help me out by posting step-by-step procedure or a video on how to do it? It is my first time partitioning the Windows operating system and would like to clarify with the community on this before I install it.
    Thanks in advance for those who have helped!

    Windows 8.1 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. The best way currently to install Windows 8.1 is to use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Installation instructions are on the Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox site.

  • Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the  dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash.  If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
    I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR.  Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep.  If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep. 
    I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR.  I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
    Tom

    Thanks for responding.  Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery .  Other sound effects play promptly.  I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.

  • How do I install iWork disk on MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and would like to install iWork on it. I do not have the device needed to use disks on this laptop as it doesn't have an optical drive. Is there any way I could download some sort of software and use a key to identify my disk? Or something along those lines because I'm sure apple would have thought that this problem would occur.
    Thanks

    That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

  • How do you fix colored lines on Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

         I have had my Macbook Pro 13" Retina display for over a year now, I recently opened it up and there were several green and blue lines running down the screen.  When I apply pressure to the bottom of the screen, where the black border is, some of the lines disappear.  It is progressively getting worse.  I don't believe it suffered any trauma.  It is a problem with the screen, not the GPU or anything else.  I was hoping there is a way to fix it without have to spend over $300 to get the screen replaced.  It is not under warranty.  Any advice?
