Now, if MLCinema and I can just get The Sarlac's blessing, I think we can drop some cash and feel totally good about it (along with the wife). ;-)

You don't need my blessing ;)

I'm not dissing the macbook. I am dying for my girlfriend to get one. I personally, just wouldnt want it as my end all be all editing computer.

The Sarlac,
Agreed. But it would still be nice to have your blessing. Did you take a look at those benchmarks, btw? In the words of Larry David, "Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty nice."
 
ha ha ha.. yeah im on Sarlaccs side as well.. the macbook is very very capable.. but the extra real estate the macbook pro gives you makes FCP alot easier to handle.
 
Jared,
Have you tried hooking the MB up to something like a Dell 2405 or Apple 23 inch Cinema display? I'd love to know if the lack of a graphics card makes that unbearable.

I dont need to see the benchmarks to know the macbook is a VERY impressive and desirable machine...why do you think I want my girl to get one so bad? :D

I also know trying to edit on a 13" GLOSSY screen would drive me up a wall. With editing or even photoshop I don't always love having ONLY a 15" screen. Hence my using my XBR as a monitor when using FCP.
 
Been using mine for two days now. Best computer I've ever owned. And I can verify that it CAN NOT run Final Cut Pro...4.5:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) Luckily for me my crosgrade discs are on the way as we speak.

I have a Core Duo Mac Mini that runs a Dell 2405. No sluggish graphics at all. Very snappy and in normal usage is just as responsive as the MacBook Pro connected to the same monitor.
 
wow, i'm really impressed with its performance with photoshop.

also i finally got to to see the black macbook and have to admit it looks pretty sweet, but i won't forking out that kinda money, right now.
 
Any chance someone with a Mac Mini dual core, or macbook and macbook pro could run some DVCPro "RT Extreme Tests"

As I see it, unless Final Cut uses the Video Card GPU for "RT Extreme" the mini and macbook, will be just as fast as mbp.. In which case mb and mbp will have essentially the same Final Cut Performance.

My guess is that mb and mbp will be close to identical..
 
DVCpro HD capture?

DVCpro HD capture?

Any update on editing with DVCpro HD on the Macbook? Have you tried to capture DVCpro HD from HVX directly into FCP on the new Macbook?

Results?
