New 15" MBP for Aperture & Adobe - I5 or I7

Hi.
I have an older MBP with a blown screen (note to self- laptop screens and lemonade don't mix well). I use it for basic applications like Mail, Safari, MS Office. I'm also starting to use it for photos using PS CS3 and Aperture. Can anyone tell me what the 15" I7 will do for me over the I5 (or for that matter if there are any negatives vs the I5). I know that the I5 or I7 are both overkill for the basic stuff. I'm most concerned about what type of benefit I'll see in adobe, which is painfully slow on my current mac.
Also, is there any benefit to upgrading to the 7200 rpm hard drive over the stock 5400 rpm hd?
Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,
The i7 will definitely be faster, especially for graphically intensive applications like Photoshop because the chip can temporarily overclock itself when needed. The only downside I can think of for the i7 is that it costs more money. However, in some cases, the graphics card is more important than the CPU. If you're using CS4 or planning to upgrade to CS5, you will definitely want a computer with the beefiest graphics card you can get as Photoshop CS4 and above can use OpenGl, thus taking the load off the CPU. But for most people, I feel that the i5 should suffice. I'm still running a 1.5 year old 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo chip and my computer is still zippy when it comes to Photoshop, Final Cut, or anything else for that matter.
As for the HDD, If you're doing a lot of Photoshop work, definitely go for the 7200rpm drive. I just upgraded my laptop to a 7200rpm drive, and I can tell you that my computer is definitely faster. That's not only doing intense graphics work, but also in everyday tasks like booting up.
Hope this helps.

  • Which Model 13" MBP for Aperture?

    I am a heavy user of Aperture, and keep several other apps open constantly. I currently have a 2010 13" MBP that I've upgraded to 8GB, and it's always running right up against the limit of RAM.
    I plan to get a 13" Retina MBP, and I need advice on what specs I need to speed things up.
    I currently have a 500GB hard drive, and I try to keep it at least 30% free. Does the same rule of keeping a fair bit of free space apply to SSDs?
    Should I pay up for the top processor, or would the basic 2.5 GHz i5 still give me a boost?
    Will the newer model and SSD give me a big boost, or do I really need to go for a 15" and 16GB? I don't do video, just photos, but I process a lot of them.
    I want the 13" for portability.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Believe it or not, yes.
    SSD's have limited write capability, likely won't reach it, but if your drive is filled up, then the small space remaining can be exhausted and the 10% of spares used, then your SSD can prematurely die.
    My advice is to get one with at least twice as much space as your ever going to use.
    I plan to get a 13" Retina MBP, and I need advice on what specs I need to speed things up.
    Upgrade to a a top end 15" anti-glare instead. The Retina's are overrated, hot blow on the display, and you don't use the resolution its capable of anyway.
    The 15" has a discrete GPU so it keeps the heat off the CPU, it's faster and lasts longer through annual OS X upgrades.
    The anti-glare screen you can see the screen clear in just about any environment, no so with the glossy Retina's.
    I'm very surprised working with photo's you are fast to accept glossy displays, most photographers howl at them because the glare blocks the screen image.
    Get a anti-glare while you still can, it seems Apple doesn't care about the pro market by discontinuing them.

    But I process a lot of them.  I want the 13" for portability.
    You really need the graphics performance of the 15", the 13" only has Intel HD CPU graphics, equal to your $400 office store PC.
    The slightly extra screen real estate of the 15" is nice, (more so on the 17" but they quit those) no need to sit with the thing on your chest to use it.
    The weight difference is slightly more, your driving a vehicle most likely, either way it's really not a big deal breaker, but the larger screen and better graphics performance is going to come in handy with lots of RAM and a SSD, especially for Aperture and a lot of photo's (I know)

  • Recommended ExpressCards for new 17" MBP for video editing

    Ok, so after sitting on the fence for months I had to buy the new 17" MBP. I just couldn't wait any longer and my trusty PB G4 is getting slow.
    After reading the enormous amounts of posts I can see why people are so upset about losing the ExpressCard slot in the 15" models.
    But, for the 17" models does anyone have any good suggestions of Expresscards? And what is the optimum set-up I should go for?
    I am an Avid and Final Cut editor using a 4-pin Firewire Sony DVCAM deck and two Western Digital External Drives daisy-chained together.
    Would love some advice.
    thanks!

    The Sony DVCAM is FW400 (aka iLink, aka IEEE1394a), so a 4-pin-to-6-pin or -to-9-pin cable will do. I'd get the 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800 is fully backward compatible with FW400) so you can connect directly to the MBP's FW800 port, if needed. You can just get a FW800 ExpressCard, since it's backward compatible.
    I'd recommend this one:

  • Which New MacBook Pro for Aperture...?

    I'm need to get another Mac laptop and would like to get one of the new 15" MacBook Pro models. It seems like the entry-level model is the sweet spot this time. I would have to pay $500 more to get more VRAM and 50GB more disk space and a slightly faster processor. For Aperture it's all about the graphics card and both of the 15" models have the same card except the cheaper one has 256mb VRAM and the other has 512.
    Would I notice the difference (with Aperture) between 256 and 512 on the VRAM? I think this is the deciding factor.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    I'm not so sure about the need for 512 MB as opposed to 256. I'm running Aperture on a two year old iMac with 128 MB of GPU RAM and it works just fine. A 512 MB card is not inherently faster than a 256 card; in fact, unless those extra 256 MB are used, they are just as fast.
    On the other hand you will most certainly benefit from the larger L2 cache. There is no question that the 2.5 model is a faster computer when running Aperture but I personally think that the $500 price difference between the 2.4 and 2.5 model is just a little too much. I will probably order the cheaper model and save that $500 towards a D300 instead!

  • Brand New Penryn MBP w/ Aperture Coming - Delete iPhoto?

    Hello All -
    I have a brand new MBP coming next week. It will be my first Mac in 20 years! My wife has a C2D Macbook and she has convinced me how great they are.
    I ordered Aperture 2 and do a ton of photography. Should I blow away iPhoto so that everything will be nice and clean in a single application? I really dread having pictures referenced in more than one application.
    This is my only chance to do everything right the first time!
    Thanks!
    Tommy

    I still use iPhoto to store screen shots that I use in Keynote for presentations. I also use it to make a family calendar every year. I don't keep my photo library in it, but I can reference my Aperture library right from iPhoto when I want a feature that iPhoto does well, like calendars and cards.

  • Which OS, Version, Best Setup on like-new 2008 MBP for non-HD archival DV?

    MacBook Pro 15"
    (Early 2008)
    2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM
    720GB 7200rpm Hard Drive (original 360GB 5400rpm drive also available)
    OS 10.6.8
    (6GB RAM possible but additional $100+ for 4GB module needed now for software upgrades)
        I first and last used Final Cut Pro 2-3 in film school on a Titanium PowerBook (500MHz!) during the OS9/X transition.  Next, was an Aluminum PowerBook (1.67Ghz) but because of life changes, I did little editing other than occasionally in iMovie.  Then as an early adopter of iPhone/Pad, I rarely used my AlPB other than for back up, writing, and occasional simple editing.
        Now I'm finally entering the early MacIntel age with a pristine "early 2008" MacBook Pro bought for $250 from an elderly original-owner couple who used it only at home for email and iPhoto.  Though at the end of its supported life, it's practically new with a known history of light graphics usage (no video or gaming rendering ever) delivered in the original box with original battery (only 46 cycles!), discs, manual, like-new charger, and no sign of wear.  The original internal wrapper was even saved and put back on the device!  Furthermore, because the wife was a photo enthusiast, the Apple Store swapped out her internal hard drive for a Western Digital 720GB 7200rpm drive and the husband just gave me the original 360GB drive!
        I want to do several things with this "new" device.  I've done a lot of research but the world has changed since FCP 3 and the G4 processor and I'm overwhelmed with all the possibilities.  I need guidance and have always appreciated the wisdom and generosity of the gurus here. I thank you all in advance!
    iCloud integration: I'd like it since I'm an iPhone/Pad user.  I could upgrade to Mountain Lion but Mavericks, under the best of conditions, is doable on my device and may give me improved CPU and battery performance.  I realize this is best left for the OSX forums.  HOWEVER...
    Final Cut Pro: I want to also return to editing in FCP an unfinished documentary using primarily archival film and video converted to non-HD DV.  This may greatly impact how I set up my drives and the decision as to which OS is best.  So, this should probably be my initial decision.
    Hard Drive:  First and foremost, I should probably swap the drives and place the 7200rpm drive into an enclosure (Firewire or is that stone-age?) for FCP media, correct?
    OS:  With Mavericks, I must use FCPX which is beyond my current non-HD needs and will most likely strain my system resources.  However, the new simplified interface is appealing and I've read some users are running it on "early 2008" MBPs.  If an earlier OS is better suited, then which one?  And also...
    FCP Version:  Which is most stable given my model?  And which is best for non-HD needs?  What about FCExpress?  I want to explore more possibilities than what's available in iMovie and would appreciate the simpler interface found in FCE and FCPX, especially since I haven't used any Final Cut since FCP 3 but will gladly embrace what's best.  I want to relearn the program and hope to continue using it for other projects.
    Partitioned drive:  Finally, what about partitioning my drive, one for daily life running Mavericks or other OS, the other solely dedicated to an optimized OS/FCP for non-HD editing?  Even at 360 GB it should be doable if I keep it lean and the bulk of storage externally (I ran FCP 3 adequately on a partitioned 40GB drive back in the day).  How much space should I dedicate to an FCP partition?
        Finances are tight and I'll need to upgrade Office, other apps (I know there's Rosetta in Snow Leopard but must weigh that with iCloud integration; decsions, decisions!) and probably locate an older copy of FCP on EBay or elsewhere which could be expensive.  I must wait a bit before swapping in a 4GB RAM module and possibly upgrading to an SSD.  Meanwhile, I'd like to experience this like-new MacBook Pro now, both as it was during its heyday and with what's still possible today.  It seems doable and I appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Thank you all and have a great day!
    Evalyn
    PS: I realize my FCP3 files are probably useless and plan to reimport everything into a new project.  And sorry for the lack of paragraph spacing.  Can't get it formatted right on the iPad!

    Just to note that there is much more commonality between FCP3 and FCP7 and/or FCE than with the early version and FCP X. IMO, learning FCP X is worth the effort, but it will require some effort since it is so different than traditional NLE's. You could "get by" with FCE for many types of projects and you should be able to find a copy on eBay or Amazon  for a few hundred dollars. However, you will not be able to open a FCP project of any version with it.  Also, I don;t think I would agree that  its UI is simple; it's essentially the same as FCP.
    As for partitioning, some people advise against editing from drives that have been partitioned. I use a partition on one machine and I've not had any problems, so I think it is an option.
    As you can see from the replies you've received so far, you have  reasonable choices. Good luck.

  • Running Windows 7 on my new i7 MBP for Gaming

    Hey guys!
    just got my new MBP 15" i7. I want to run Steam on it for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and it only currently runs on windows. I have a fresh copy of Windows 7 here and can install it but have heard that if i run windows, its just as capable as getting a virus as a PC which im not to happy about. But if i just open steam, and run steam to play mw2 will that leave me open for viruses and such, there will be no web browsing/torrents or anything else just steam and games.
    Also is it better to install 32bit or 64bit onto this mac.
    thanks in advance,
    Chase.

    The 2GB is a problem and bug with Apple and Mac Pro (though surprised it wasn't fixed in 2008) with using 32-bit. An i7 MBP
    Most newer Macs now (2009) do get access to more than 2GB but it was very very commonly reported. But isn't normal.
    Of course having 512MB video and other things, and the fact is Windows x64 has better memory management and security.
    MS offering malware protection could and was seen as taking over 3rd party products and seen as a threat. The data though that MS collects can help, and MSSE is very lite on its feet, barely know its there or runs unlike most that are 'in your face' and need constant care and feeding and alerts.
    As for firewall, I leave it, plus router is your 1st line firewall anyway.
    I used Norton 360v4 when Windows 7 Beta/RC and that was pre-MSSE. I would not touch it today, save your $$$, it is a nuisance, but check their support Community of course.

  • Will new camera updates for Aperture only come to OS X 10.5 users?

    I was trying to understand how new camera RAW definitions were added to Aperture. It sounds like its actually through updates to the OS (so everything can understand the files...which sounds good on the face of it).
    But if that's the case, does that mean that an Aperture on Tiger installation (10.4.x) won't be getting the future camera RAW updates?
    Is that right?
    Scott

    I think your right. The initial size of the update (beta) was 480MB, which is truly gargantuan for an OS update....they're definately tweeking alot of things.
    Apple decided to break the graphics drivers out of the update at some point and that (along with some other stuff) helped bring the size down to 350MB, but that's still really big.
    I think, as long as 10.4 doesn't give me problems (like not getting camera defs), I'll wait till summer and let OS X 10.5 stabilize some more.

  • Will the new 3GHz iMac (24") with GeForce 8800 be good for Aperture v2?

    hi all.
    I've just seen the specs on the new iMac and I'm interested. I was resigned to buying a Mac Pro but found it difficult to justify the cost because I'm not a professional photographer. the new iMac might be good enough at a much more justifiable cost.
    I wonder if anyone has information or opinions regarding the following.
    Will the glossy screen be a nuisance? There is stray light in our living room where I use my computer although we do have venetian blinds on both windows. (don't bother suggesting using the computer in another room. this is Hong Kong where space is scarce and expensive.)
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations? (Aperture was not included in Apple's test comparisons)
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400? on my iMac, transfers to/from my external SATA disks run at only a dismal 13MB/s rather than the ideal 40MB/s. is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    your input and information would be appreciated (and it's probably going to be a common question).
    sincerely,
    Gregory

    My expectation (every workspace is different as are individual perceptions) is that the reflective issues of the iMac's glossy screen would be very tolerable. What many (not all) graphics pros including me find intolerable is the fact that glossy displays add contrast and saturation to images. However many, perhaps most, non-graphics-pros prefer the added contrast and saturation, which is why Apple uses those displays. Each individual must do his/her own side-by-side comparisons and determine personal preference.
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations?
    Yes.
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    I believe yes, but that is just a guess since I do not know the card well. Certainly picking an iMac for Aperture usage I would choose the top 24" with the 8800 GS card
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400?
    Yes.
    ...for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    Yes. Best IMO will be to have the AP Library on the internal drive but with Referenced Masters on external FW800 drives. The top iMac allows up to 1 TB internal drive size. Since drives slow as they fill, order a large drive and keep it less than half full to optimize operation.
    ...is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    Pretty much everything impacts AP performance, so the more things you optimize the better. The maximum 4 GB RAM of iMacs, although quite workable, will always be limiting. Good policy is to restart or at least close as many irrelevant applications as necessary prior to an extended Aperture work session.
    Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273934&tstart=75>
    If you ever do run into performance issues, work to dial in on each of the performance tweaks he discusses.
    As an aside, I too like the MBP (ideally 17" matte screen) as preferable to the iMac because of the portability. Unfortunately cost may make that an unacceptable choice, but I cannot overstate the huge benefits of portability.
    Good luck!

  • New external drive choices -- what's best for Aperture?

    Hi.  Hardware, I'm sorry to say, generally makes my head hurt.
    Today Apple's delayed Thunderbolt-to-FW800 adapter made it appearance in Apple Stores.
    Purchasers of the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display (rMBP) now have a nearly full set of options for using external drives with Aperture.  I had been using a stable of FW800 drives (with my MBP 5,5).  I'm looking for recommendations on what to upgrade to.
    (Aside: I've been too busy to post a comment recommending the rMPB.  It's my main Aperture machine (I use Aperture every day, but work in two different locations) -- I'm _very_ happy with it.  Highly recommended.  My machine is 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD.  But there's still this ports problem ... .)
    The options I know of:
    - use the new adapter and use the old FW drives.  These can be daisy-chained, as before.  Afaik, the total throughput is limited by what TBolt allows (which may be more than enough).
    - move drives to USB3 enclosures.  I did this as a stop-gap measure while waiting for the adapters.  I got my enclosures from OWC.  The drives are not daisy-chainable.  The rMBA has two USB3 ports.
    - buy eSATA hubs and use the eSATA ports on the drives.  This one just became available.  Expensive, imho.  Not sure how the Mac will handle it (I always have Originals referenced to external drives; I sometimes have Libraries on external drives).
    - move drives to TBolt enclosures.  These are slowly coming on the market.  They are very expensive (imho).
    - replace the drives with TBolt drives.  Also very expensive.
    - replace the drives with USB3 drives
    I'm looking for a reasonable middle-term (3-5 years) solution.  Fwiw, I'm not convinced that external drive throughput is even an issue with running Aperture.  It seem to run well on my rMBA even when a large library is connected via USB2.  (I assume Aperture is good at taking advantage of the 16 MB RAM and the SSD "scratch drive".)  I need to have one USB2 port, and one TBolt port, available at all times (various peripherals; the TBolt is for external monitors).
    Thanks!

    Good stuff.  Thanks.  Agree in principle re: "TBolt for displays; USB3 for storage".
    I did get a USB 3 hub.  (Amazon link.  There is a 7-port hub as well.)  Highly recommended (at least for rMBP users).  This works well with how I use Aperture: I have several external drives with mostly Referenced Originals and some Libraries.  Since I rarely use more than one of these at a time, it doesn't matter that the hub throughput is limited to a single USB 3 channel.  The USB 3 hub, for me, functions as a quasi-data-server for Aperture, and takes up only one of the two USB 3 ports on the rMBP.  (Fwiw, with the rMBA I don't think there's much reason for storing Referenced Originals on a fast drive; because of the efficiency of the way Aperture caches, USB 2 may be fast enough.  I haven't measured this yet.)
    I mentioned eSATA only because almost all my external drives came with eSATA ports and cables.  I have never used eSATA.  At this point, I don't plan to.
    I have moved a few drives into USB 3 enclosures (purchased from OWC).  With the USB 3 hub, and the newly-available Apple TBolt-FW800 adapter (which supports daisy-chained FW devices), I am no longer in any practical way limited by the four ports on the rMBP (2x TBolt, 2x USB 3).  Whew. 
    I backup my system drive wirelessly to a Time Capsule every night (by design, the machine doesn't have access to the TC during the day when I'm working), and use SuperDuper to backup all Libraries and Referenced Originals to specific sparse bundles kept on leap-frogging external drives, with one always off-site.  At this point I make no practical distinction between FW800 and USB 3 drives for back-up, as they are all fast enough and the back-ups run unattended.  (But USB 3 seems to be much faster.)

    Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Photoshop Elements
    Adobe ID, Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
    Chat Panel
    If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
    Before the above consider....
    a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
    question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
    Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
    Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
    c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
