And a USB hub puts ports front and center, though I try to avoid UBS hubs because they can introduce instability. I’ve seen lots of iMacs sitting on books or boxes to raise them to an appropriate height for comfortable viewing. The workarounds to these problems are commonplace-and often quite ugly, something that you might think would bother Apple. This doesn’t affect me all that much, but I’ve certainly heard lots of complaints from people who need to connect USB flash drives and other peripherals regularly. Working with USB devices is also awkward due to all the ports being in the back of the iMac. You can’t work as many hours or as effectively if using your Mac is uncomfortable, and that’s even more true in the long term. Ergonomics are important, both for everyday productivity and longevity. You can’t raise or lower the screen, much less rotate it if your work lends itself to a screen in portrait orientation. The only adjustment Apple allows is screen tilt. I like almost everything about it except the ergonomics, which are-put bluntly-lousy. Since 2014, I’ve used a 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display. Better iMac Screen Ergonomics and Connectivity So here are a few suggestions I have for how Apple could build Macs and supporting products that would better fit the needs of a lot more professionals. And I’ll bet there are many more writers and lawyers out there than 3D artists and filmmakers. I can’t speak for other fields, but I can think of plenty of hardware and product line enhancements that would make professionals like me more productive. And that extreme performance and massive storage are the only things that matter to professionals, such that those of us whose performance requirements are well served by non-Pro Macs could have no other wants or needs that would improve our workflows and productivity. #DAVINCI RESOLVE LITE MAC MINI PRO#What I am a little miffed about is the implication that if you don’t need all the power of a MacBook Pro with an M1 Max chip and 64 GB of unified memory, you’re not a pro user. Grade your 8K video all day long, folks! (Special thanks to TidBITS Talk user Vortech for responding to my request and explaining what “grade color in HDR on 8K ProRes 4444 video” means.) ![]() Even though I’ve never used any of the apps listed above, I don’t begrudge these people their expensive high-end Macs. MacBook Pro is designed for developers, photographers, filmmakers, 3D artists, scientists, music producers, and anyone who wants the world’s best notebook.ĭon’t get me wrong.
