Jenna!! Can u check out my video where I met you and Justine!! It's kinda old (from the Grove book signing), but it would be awesome if u checked it out and let me know!! :D
Bruh I used a mac from 2009 or 2010 it was terrible could not get any thing done literally only for showing off so yeah you are wrong btw if you are interested I think it had a intel processor and 8 gigs of RAM
@@alkalaid6850 There's nothing wrong with you not being able to operate a Mac. The fact that I had to learn how to replace he Explorer shell from a DOS prompt because mine became corrupted, that I had to learn what IRQ interrupt addresses were to get my peripherals to work, that I had to learn how to edit the registry, or that no matter what system I had, it was plagued with bugs and crashes, and I don't have to worry about ANY of that on a Mac, is what matters to me. I can go weeks in between restarts, and freezes are rare. I don't know how one can even "show off" on a Mac, it's just a computer.
@@TruthAndMoreTruth sorry and my macbook was actually a Air from 2013 I have used it but the price was the main problem because when I saw that I was getting a hp or dell which was better I just switched and by the way I live in India so everything is overpriced and my model also had constant kernel panics and it was hard finding a repair centre
I don't understand why people get so angry and hostile over what brand of computer or phone people use, I personally like Apple and have Apple everything..... because I like them, if you want an Android or PC, that's your preference, you spend your money on what you want and I'll spend mine on what I want.
apple has horrible business practices. have an issue with your product and want to fix it yourself? too bad. have an issue and want to take it to a third party to get fixed? too bad. not covered. apple just touted a fast charging PLUG as a feature of their new phone coming out. something android has had for years. current generation iphones have fast charging capabilities, but if you wanted the ability, you had to buy a plug from apple since they didn't offer one. hahahha. you all blow my mind. you're suckers.
@@blueshky People don't seem to understand that it's not just about the brand of computer they're using. We're trying to save them from being ripped off. Any apple computer is far overpriced for the hardware than any pre-built or home-built computer. Charging 2000 extra dollars for the OS is just ridiculous.
My life As lucy I love apple, in a new apple product example - the iPad I'm looking for how light it is, the price, how thin it is, how it looks and it's battery life, I'm not a high standard expecting apple customer
Was there ever any follow up on this video and why a $5,000 MacBook Pro was slow editing 4k video? Did Justine ever reveal what the fix was for this, or did she just buy that $10,000+ iMac Pro and edit on that?
HACKINTOSH JUSTINE it will make your life so much easier the best of both final cut and custom pc (Then again it is kinda against the pure Apple user) but trust me its so worth it
There is a lot of help online I had no idea how to but I was able to build on myself by doing some research on youtube etc. MKBHD has a great series where he builds a hackintosh I would recommend starting from there a youtuber called "Cat and Andrew" has a great step by step tutorial on how to install OSX onto a computer. It does seem like a lot of work at first but due to there is a huge community that can help. I had no idea what I was doing at first but ended up having a hackintosh and I love it. (tonymacx86.com also have a step by step guide on what parts you need and how to install)
It should lag because the hardware in it sucks. Open your facking eyes lol. Yes software optimisation can make low hardware work great but it will remain not powerfull. You can´t get power from where there isn´t almost any.
***** ok but what about the graphics and the ram? Those are aswell very important things for video editing espcially when we are talking about 4k, i would say they are at least on par when it comes to importance.
Sara Dietschy FCP X is so well optimized, you need a powerful desktop machine w/Premier to beat it. Actually maybe the Razer Blade Pro 17 with the Nvidia 1080 could beat it. But FCP X is also extremely easy for basic tasks. Gives you back your mind grapes if you're doing simple stuff like vlogs or even documentaries or simple movies. For hardcore movie editing, though, I would agree that Premier + After Effects, especially, is a great combo. Or vlogs full of special effects. After Effects rules!
Alex V. Its pretty much agreed by the majority of the tech industry, people whose job it is to review and rate tech products, that the new MBPs are a mistep and should be avoided. Their faults arent worth their pricetag.
I needed a new laptop for 4K editing on the road. When I saw the new Macbook Pro and how shitty and overpriced it was, I bought the Asus Zenbook Pro instead. Half the price, double the specs, all the ports you could ever need (SD card, USB, USB-C, HDMI...) and have absolutely zero regrets. It's blazing fast and very reliable. I edit in Premiere Pro and mostly use the Adobe Creative Cloud for all my work, so going from Mac to PC was not an issue at all.
Purely Presbyterian Yeah, as long as you don't get yourself hung up on little specs, overall you can pump out cash faster right now with a 2014/2015. Unless you don't use the keyboard much. (I type a lot, so the 2016 drives me crazy) Then perhaps the 2016 will exceed those a bit, once the bugs are worked out. I can see the 2016 being a decent productivity machine for vloggers in a few months.
The Creator of the Universe is watching me, and loves me, and will punish me eternally if I don't listen to the churchmen. Sound about right, Presbyterian?
The Shakies Blog Aye, the iMac is actually a great alternative for the new macbook. haha. Funny you did that, too. I also just picked up a couple of Apple refurb 27"inchers from ebay at a killer deal. Got 1 carry bag and 1 flight case from these guys in the UK (they ship everywhere at low cost, though): www.theflightcasecompany.com/apple-flight-cases/imac-bags/ HyperX memory, too, made them much faster.
I love this vlog episode! So positive. You're so right about listening to parents, we look back and find a lot of stuff that they said was on point. And being kind to everyone, off and on the internet is sound advice. You've grown and developed so much from your early episodes and even if I've been subscribed for almost a decade this is the only time I've really wanted to leave a comment. Hope to see more like this. Thanks iJustine. :)
The beach ball I'm sure will be dealt with in a few updates. But the "not like it" is tricky. I've gone to the Apple Store many times to get a feel for it. I don't like it either.
I wish they would make Final Cut available on Windows, but that is a stupid idea for apple. MacBook sales would probably drop, and they won't have an exclusive editor on their os.
YoyoTele Yeah. I want final cut pro to be on windows. ituses is available for Windows. but we need garageband, im ovie and final cut to Run on Windows. apple should listen. I don't want to spend a ton of money on MacBooks.
itunes is available for windows but they stooped supporting quick time for windows which itunes runs on top off. This should worry you because quick time is basically flash - it has a scripting language built in - you can run into all sorts of volubility problems. if you want garageband band for windows than look no further than MixCraft which design goals started out as providing a garageband like experience for windows. Although feature wise MixCraft blows garageband out of the water.
I think the latest gen MacBook Pros are like Microsoft's Windows Vista... The people at Apple need to get their stuff together! That's exactly why I got a last gen MacBook Pro.
Check this out! In January 1984, the Apple corporation introduced the Macintosh computer model, forever changing the computer industry. The Macintosh was branded as the anti-establishment choice in computing. Apple’s famous “1984” ad, considered one of the most effective ads in television history, depicted one woman, the personification of the Macintosh, rebelling against a conformist culture resembling George Orwell’s 1984. In fact, Apple was a truly unorthodox company, in that its working environment was driven primarily by goals rather than fixed business hours. And that spirit characterized the production of the Macintosh. Ahead of the Monday, January 16, shipping deadline, the Macintosh team worked all weekend without sleep to fine-tune the model’s operating code. For energy, they turned to “a huge bag of chocolate-covered espresso beans.” By Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., a polished version of the Macintosh code was ready for prime time. The model went into production, and the team went to sleep-one engineer already was “sprawled nearly comatose on a couch. -------------------------- If in 1984 they could make a polished version of the OS why in 2016 is it so hard to do the same?🤔 Perhaps they need some some chocolate covered espresso beans!
That's not really the case. Final Cut Pro X, Aperture & Pixelmator are an absolut charm to work with across both my Macs. For gaming I use a custom build PC though, but that's another story ;)
When you love FCP X, it sucks that you can't get a proper Mac workstation. :( I have extended the life of my iMac(with external Cinema Display for more screen space) by getting a external RAID for video editing, but I don't even know what to buy if I were to buy another Mac. Sometimes I feel like building a PC to get a killer editing rig because Apple does not seem to care about computers for heavy workloads anymore. That being said, FCP X does a decent job of making 4K job not a complete pain with the hardware resources available. :)
The struggle is real. I was wondering why I keep beachballing on my spec'd mac book pro touch bar as well, among other issues. I hope this all gets fixed soon. The laptop dies sometimes when you close the lid, the touch bar freezes, and the battery is the worst I've ever had on a macbook. Also, my speaker is crackling watching this video. Sigh, I understand your frustration iJustine
My company priced-out the top Mac Pro, the price came to 8000 US dollars! OMG what a joke, for a pos computer made with obsolete 4-year-old parts. Apple is delusional to charge that kind of money.
"Apple's sales speak otherwise." Mac has a pathetic 7% market share after 30 years in business. The whole world runs Windows. Mac is weak, buggy, and overpriced. It's a joke.
Abhishek Jain Yeah, if you're a creator, it blindly makes a shit ton more $, too. That said, Windows machines and the actual OS is now better than ever. Quite happily added a couple back to the mix. The only thing I can't stand, besides MS' spying, is the rebooting every couple days for updates. Just like on servers, that needs to stop. They need KernelCare.
Nicholson wrote "more often than not, Apple produces good products" LOL what a joke. Let's look at some recent 'good' Apple products: Apple Watch...FAIL Apple Pay...FAIL Apple Music...FAIL iPad Pro...FAIL Apple Electric Car...CANCELLED iPhone is pretty good, everything else from Apple is overpriced junk.
I used to watch you back in 2012 and I stopped watching you in 2015 when I made a new yt account. When I heard the ask IJ intro it brought back memories and me watching your videos.
People that are serious about editing 4k have 64 gigs of RAM or more. The weak pos Macbook Pro only has 16 gigs, and it cannot be upgraded. And the price is 3500 US dollars. What a joke!!
Do you think they want to carry around an inch thick slimmed down desktop? Pro's (speaking as one myself) want the max power in the most portable form factor, I don't want my back broken because I have to carry around a 4Kg laptop when I could easily have a laptop perfectly capable of 4K editing and a few iOS simulations and 1080p games instead and a desktop at home that I could SSH into for server tests, for 8K editing or 4K gaming. So in summary, since this seems to be something everyone happily ignores: LAPTOPS ARE NOT DESKTOP AND DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THE SAME POWER
Apple computers are VERY overpriced, underpowered, they are not upgradable like PCs are, and you have to return the entire thing if one little part goes bad!! Any more reasons to get a PC I should list?
Justine, have you ever considered either converting your Gaming PC to a Hackintosh or straight up build a Hackintosh from scratch? There are almost endless resources for that online, and I'm actually running on a somewhat (hardware-wise) outdated system, but it runs well for what I do. Just a thought. Good video. This is my first comment, but I've been subbed a while.
Hey iJ really need your help. Could you share a bit more with your Macbook experience? I need to upgrade my late 2013 15" and was wondering if 2016 model is worth it ? A lot of hate out and was wondering for an honest opinion. Would not switch to Windows (don't like it) but I could get a 2015 model instead. What i use is Lr, Ps, Premiere and Capture one. mostly raw photo editing, some drawing and hopefully soon some video editing :-).
How often has that iPhone slipped and fell of your hands?.just curious already killed my third matte black iPhone screen as of now.yet still persistent to use cases...
Robin Mackay I dream of just 20 I'm two away and you can changes that by telling your FreeBSD to sub to me mu content is just normal like drawing and blogs and project announments and shoutouts.
I used tonymac86.com to spec out my machine. i7 6950x 10-core OC to 4.5 Ghz, water cooled with 2x 1080 SLI high bandwidth bridge and 2TB SSD... getting it to run OSX has been impossible all with the correct hardware. :(
osamaFXX Well at least she knows she's a sheep and admits it. also she doesn't say random things to make apple products look better (she kinda does but not as much as the other sheep) and she says it's her opinion which is good.
Don't worry I feel the same, i'm back to using my 2014 iMac and 2012 MacBook because they work perfectly, just wait it out with their older products until they bring something decent out again
I have quite old iMac and it works really fast, have no problems with it.. Maybe there is other problem, with how you use your computer or how many programs you have opened or sth like that.
I'm a graphic designer but I just started illustration last year and started my own art channel. I only have a couple things up there now but I'm looking to work more on my art this year.
It's probably an issue related to a software that is not compatible with Sierra. I had the same problem with Sophos antivirus active, now everything works fine.
Same happens with me. I'm doing so much at once (FCPX) and the whole thing just freezes. I've restarted my mac pro about 20 times since I got it on Christmas.
Justine, this may just be me but my iMac Pro has also been working very slowly lately. Lot's of spinning beachballs. I am under the belief that there is some type of new malware or virus that they haven't picked up on yet. Something is slowing me down as well.
Its never too late to become an illustrator😚 Im in my first semester and gurrrl it made a difference, but you wont really notice it until you go on that first break after semester 1 and you sit alone at home and draw your heart out.
$5000 for a laptop? Come one....it's all the same made in china crap, and Apple is no different. You do realize they build these things for under $400 right? No laptop can beat a well build PC with quality components and even costs less.
yea but some "think" that because a item has a high price "it must be good" rather then just overpriced. When you need a tool to do a task you check FIRST if the option in mind is CAPABLE of the required tasks, Trowing 5k at in and "hope for the best" is dumb.
Bas van Driel, you are so right. All of Apple's stuff is made in Chinese sweatshops, for pennies on the dollar. Apple customers must be very stupid to pay 5000 dollars for some krap Macbook.
@Bas van Driel You're terribly uninformed. Apple is terribly overpriced, but that doesn't mean that they have a 1250% mark-up. Mark-up outside of Apple in the computing market is quite competitive. There's still mark-up of course, but it's not even close to something like 50% let alone 1000%. Aside from that, some things eventually even sell at a loss.
That's crazy that it's slow, especially when you spec'd it to the max. My current MBP (15" low end, mid 2015) runs Premier smoothly. Maybe it's just a Final Cut issue.
So great to hear from someone who thinks BOTH their parents are awesome! Question - did you or will you compare your spec'd out Mac to a similar Windows laptop? Would you ever switch away from Mac?
The lack of ports is the issue I have with mine, 3rd party dongles cause the wifi to suffer but in every other way, it hands down beats the garbage from Windows. If I didn't get a substantial discount on my 2016 touch bar model, I would have not bought it but waited until 2018 when USB C will be the norm.
i use both mac and pc (custom built) and i enjoy going back ad forth between the platforms. They each offer things specific to the software, so there are pros and cons, but i think it worth having both!
hello Justine. I wanted to ask you if you have seen the new backpack from Vanguard ALTA SKY 51D. I know you recently got a backpack for your Phantom and Mavic but that looks too big. Can you take a look an this one and maybe if you can do a review on it. To me that backache is ideal for my P4P+ and other cameras. thank you and i really enjoy your videos.
I think the issues with final cut seem to be mostly with the people that speced out the MacBook pro i have the 512 stock 15 inch model and mine just works. Just goes to show specing out a computer doesn't always work. how ever you can spec out a PC and install Mac OS they are called hackintoshs but don't know if IJ could handle that.
Mine managed to somehow turn itself invisible! Talk about wild

the first days are the worst. but it will get better soon
5 grand for a Mac Pro??? Didn't know they were that expensive 😱😆😆😆😆
Sam N me too
Sam N Fully specced out though
nVME drives are fast but expensive, especially at high capacities.
Also, you are paying extra for the little logo.

mac pro around 15k, MacBook is like lower 4k fully spec

if you want garageband band for windows than look no further than MixCraft which design goals started out as providing a garageband like experience for windows. Although feature wise MixCraft blows garageband out of the water.

I think the latest gen MacBook Pros are like Microsoft's Windows Vista...
The people at Apple need to get their stuff together!
That's exactly why I got a last gen MacBook Pro.
Check this out! In January 1984, the Apple corporation introduced the Macintosh computer model, forever changing the computer industry. The Macintosh was branded as the anti-establishment choice in computing. Apple’s famous “1984” ad, considered one of the most effective ads in television history, depicted one woman, the personification of the Macintosh, rebelling against a conformist culture resembling George Orwell’s 1984. In fact, Apple was a truly unorthodox company, in that its working environment was driven primarily by goals rather than fixed business hours. And that spirit characterized the production of the Macintosh. Ahead of the Monday, January 16, shipping deadline, the Macintosh team worked all weekend without sleep to fine-tune the model’s operating code. For energy, they turned to “a huge bag of chocolate-covered espresso beans.” By Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., a polished version of the Macintosh code was ready for prime time. The model went into production, and the team went to sleep-one engineer already was “sprawled nearly comatose on a couch. -------------------------- If in 1984 they could make a polished version of the OS why in 2016 is it so hard to do the same?🤔 Perhaps they need some some chocolate covered espresso beans!
Dakota Mcbay in 1984 the OS was 216 kB, now it's 8 GB, so there is so much more code in modern time.
davekorbiger Windows XP and Windows 7 was the most popular OS for Windows people. So last gen MacBook Pro is better to compare with Windows 7
or dont buy a Mac product at all?! overpriced status symbol bullshit
That's not really the case. Final Cut Pro X, Aperture & Pixelmator are an absolut charm to work with across both my Macs.
For gaming I use a custom build PC though, but that's another story ;)
Can you atleast put "Ask iJ" in the title? Because I had no idea...
I love it that you still edit your own videos. So much respect. Yes, it is SO much work but fun as hell!👍
When you love FCP X, it sucks that you can't get a proper Mac workstation. :(
I have extended the life of my iMac(with external Cinema Display for more screen space) by getting a external RAID for video editing, but I don't even know what to buy if I were to buy another Mac.
Sometimes I feel like building a PC to get a killer editing rig because Apple does not seem to care about computers for heavy workloads anymore. That being said, FCP X does a decent job of making 4K job not a complete pain with the hardware resources available. :)
Notification crew!! Where are you??
ChrisSaysIt here 🙋
ChrisSaysIt right here
5000$ ahhhh you could have built such a godly PC
Change your expectations to appreciations.
You put this video together very well... it's on the pro level... great job!
The struggle is real. I was wondering why I keep beachballing on my spec'd mac book pro touch bar as well, among other issues. I hope this all gets fixed soon. The laptop dies sometimes when you close the lid, the touch bar freezes, and the battery is the worst I've ever had on a macbook. Also, my speaker is crackling watching this video. Sigh, I understand your frustration iJustine
As much as you love apple you are a tech reviewer as well if some apple products sucks you should say it to your viewers
IJ needs more subscribers
For $5K you could build a PC that could kill an alligator.
Question!
Why was recording a audible book difficult? I've always wondered how long those take to make.
Thanks!
Had no issues with mine. I cant believe how fast it is. Did lock up on me two times though which is very strange for a Mac.
my 200$ toshiba is faster than your macbook....
gman dog6 caught me lmao
You wish.
Doubt it
apple is going downhill day by day
Alpha Centauri Ever since Jobs died.
My company priced-out the top Mac Pro, the price came to 8000 US dollars!
OMG what a joke, for a pos computer made with obsolete 4-year-old parts. Apple is delusional to charge that kind of money.
Apple's sales speak otherwise.
"Apple's sales speak otherwise."
Mac has a pathetic 7% market share after 30 years in business. The whole world runs Windows.
Mac is weak, buggy, and overpriced. It's a joke.
Dave Satay Although I neither support nor hate Apple, their software is not buggy. Their software is very well made and way more stable than windows.
when they hear apple..people blindly throw money -_-
Abhishek Jain I'm going to change my name to Apple.
Appletosh?
Abhishek Jain Yeah, if you're a creator, it blindly makes a shit ton more $, too. That said, Windows machines and the actual OS is now better than ever. Quite happily added a couple back to the mix. The only thing I can't stand, besides MS' spying, is the rebooting every couple days for updates. Just like on servers, that needs to stop. They need KernelCare.
Because more often than not, Apple produces good products. They didn't get a good reputation from nothing!
Nicholson wrote "more often than not, Apple produces good products"
LOL what a joke. Let's look at some recent 'good' Apple products:
Apple Watch...FAIL
Apple Pay...FAIL
Apple Music...FAIL
iPad Pro...FAIL
Apple Electric Car...CANCELLED
iPhone is pretty good, everything else from Apple is overpriced junk.
I used to watch you back in 2012 and I stopped watching you in 2015 when I made a new yt account. When I heard the ask IJ intro it brought back memories and me watching your videos.
Your audible book was simply AMAZING! You should be proud of yourself!!
Maybe you should try editing with 1080p vidoes and not 4k
5000usd laptop, cant edit 4k video, makes sense...
People that are serious about editing 4k have 64 gigs of RAM or more.
The weak pos Macbook Pro only has 16 gigs, and it cannot be upgraded. And the price is 3500 US dollars. What a joke!!
You say that like there are a shit tonne of laptops out there in the same form factor that have 64Gb of RAM as standard...
Do you think they want to carry around an inch thick slimmed down desktop? Pro's (speaking as one myself) want the max power in the most portable form factor, I don't want my back broken because I have to carry around a 4Kg laptop when I could easily have a laptop perfectly capable of 4K editing and a few iOS simulations and 1080p games instead and a desktop at home that I could SSH into for server tests, for 8K editing or 4K gaming. So in summary, since this seems to be something everyone happily ignores: LAPTOPS ARE NOT DESKTOP AND DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THE SAME POWER
Yes 8+ hours of battery, 4K video editing and 1080p @ 60FPS gaming, sooo compromised...
Apple computers are VERY overpriced, underpowered, they are not upgradable like PCs are, and you have to return the entire thing if one little part goes bad!! Any more reasons to get a PC I should list?
The brainwashed people buying expensive crap that they don't need.
ThunderGun2 I paid £300 for my Toshiba laptop a year ago, so far so great haha!!! 🖒🖒
+Alexandra Ward so how are you enjoying that low battery life, that slow ass mechanical hard drive, crappy res and shitty plastic trackpad?
I've had no issues with it whatsoever 😅😅 literally the best laptop I've had
ThunderGun2 nah she just bought a large and good SSD which she very much needs
+hoodedmexican I hope you know that a regular SSD is still at least half slower than PCI-E (half on 2 lanes, 1/4 speed on 4 lanes).
Justine, have you ever considered either converting your Gaming PC to a Hackintosh or straight up build a Hackintosh from scratch? There are almost endless resources for that online, and I'm actually running on a somewhat (hardware-wise) outdated system, but it runs well for what I do. Just a thought. Good video. This is my first comment, but I've been subbed a while.
Hey iJ really need your help. Could you share a bit more with your Macbook experience? I need to upgrade my late 2013 15" and was wondering if 2016 model is worth it ? A lot of hate out and was wondering for an honest opinion. Would not switch to Windows (don't like it) but I could get a 2015 model instead. What i use is Lr, Ps, Premiere and Capture one. mostly raw photo editing, some drawing and hopefully soon some video editing :-).
What keeps you motivated to do youtube ? Answer : $$$$$$$$$$$$
Sell it and get the 2015 model. Its the last real MacBook...
Justine you should pin this for absolutely no reason
Keanu no
no
Keanu no
How often has that iPhone slipped and fell of your hands?.just curious already killed my third matte black iPhone screen as of now.yet still persistent to use cases...
I think it would be cool if you reviewed an XPS 15 or something to see how it edits in comparison. Within a return window, at least ;)
Hey random person!
Have a great day!🙂
From a smaller youtuber with a dream of 14k subs😁
:)
Robin Mackay ❤️
Robin Mackay I dream of just 20 I'm two away and you can changes that by telling your FreeBSD to sub to me mu content is just normal like drawing and blogs and project announments and shoutouts.
Hackintosh. Then you can use final cut
I used tonymac86.com to spec out my machine. i7 6950x 10-core OC to 4.5 Ghz, water cooled with 2x 1080 SLI high bandwidth bridge and 2TB SSD... getting it to run OSX has been impossible all with the correct hardware. :(
A sheep starting to wake up. just give her time.
osamaFXX Well at least she knows she's a sheep and admits it. also she doesn't say random things to make apple products look better (she kinda does but not as much as the other sheep) and she says it's her opinion which is good.
Well in my opinion Apple and other tech companies are just all the same if you want something get it by your own decisions not others
Don't worry I feel the same, i'm back to using my 2014 iMac and 2012 MacBook because they work perfectly, just wait it out with their older products until they bring something decent out again
I have quite old iMac and it works really fast, have no problems with it.. Maybe there is other problem, with how you use your computer or how many programs you have opened or sth like that.
This is the first video I've seen of you, and the last. Goodbye
Legend Galaxy lol who asked tho
valentino0429 You are one of very few sensible people left on RUclips
Erm, bye?
valentino0429 it was an opinion without reason. it's the equivalent of turning in an analytical essay without evidence.
this is the first time i see an honset video from her actually
U posted this on my birthday😁
correct title: ijustine has a mental breakdown about her 5000$ macbook.
Hi, Justine! I was just wondering what brand of external hard drive you recommend?
I'm a graphic designer but I just started illustration last year and started my own art channel. I only have a couple things up there now but I'm looking to work more on my art this year.
Hackintosh
Get a PC and then download premier pro. You're welcome
Michael Crump I have premiere pro right now on my old Toshiba pc. I am getting a gaming computer soon
Good for you.
did you like your own comment?
***** the cpu is outdated on macbooks they don't have their latest generation
who watching with socks on?
White Dog no one
White Dog not me
It's probably an issue related to a software that is not compatible with Sierra. I had the same problem with Sophos antivirus active, now everything works fine.
What happened to your jet black iPhone
its apple. What do you expect? They will rip you off in everything
YOU CAN GET FINAL CUT ON THE PC SO YOU KNOW
Its an overpriced junk device made specifically to strip idiots out of their money, what else do you expect?
jawbreaker Fans of Windows junk to comment?
Same happens with me. I'm doing so much at once (FCPX) and the whole thing just freezes. I've restarted my mac pro about 20 times since I got it on Christmas.
Justine, this may just be me but my iMac Pro has also been working very slowly lately. Lot's of spinning beachballs. I am under the belief that there is some type of new malware or virus that they haven't picked up on yet.
Something is slowing me down as well.
apple: robbing clueless consumers daily
Its a laptop, what do you want it to do? You knew exactly what you were buying.
Panthers1521 Especially since its Apple.
Probably had something to do with their competitor paying you to make this video.
OddSqodd Or maybe she's finally noticing how terrible Apple is.
Provide evidence
Yes, because competitors paying her to make a video would demand that they not mention them by name, only by "PC" and not a specific brand.
Nice try cultist. It's an inferior overpriced product with a shitty underpowered hardware set.
Its never too late to become an illustrator😚 Im in my first semester and gurrrl it made a difference, but you wont really notice it until you go on that first break after semester 1 and you sit alone at home and draw your heart out.
When Starbucks is closed
*Ijustine :*
$5000 for a laptop? Come one....it's all the same made in china crap, and Apple is no different. You do realize they build these things for under $400 right? No laptop can beat a well build PC with quality components and even costs less.
yea but some "think" that because a item has a high price "it must be good" rather then just overpriced.
When you need a tool to do a task you check FIRST if the option in mind is CAPABLE of the required tasks,
Trowing 5k at in and "hope for the best" is dumb.
Bas van Driel, you are so right.
All of Apple's stuff is made in Chinese sweatshops, for pennies on the dollar. Apple customers must be very stupid to pay 5000 dollars for some krap Macbook.
@Bas van Driel
You're terribly uninformed. Apple is terribly overpriced, but that doesn't mean that they have a 1250% mark-up.
Mark-up outside of Apple in the computing market is quite competitive. There's still mark-up of course, but it's not even close to something like 50% let alone 1000%. Aside from that, some things eventually even sell at a loss.
this is just so stupid lol
That's crazy that it's slow, especially when you spec'd it to the max. My current MBP (15" low end, mid 2015) runs Premier smoothly. Maybe it's just a Final Cut issue.
Nintendo has a switch? I thought only Cisco made them. Do they make routers or bridges too?
So great to hear from someone who thinks BOTH their parents are awesome! Question - did you or will you compare your spec'd out Mac to a similar Windows laptop? Would you ever switch away from Mac?
The lack of ports is the issue I have with mine, 3rd party dongles cause the wifi to suffer but in every other way, it hands down beats the garbage from Windows. If I didn't get a substantial discount on my 2016 touch bar model, I would have not bought it but waited until 2018 when USB C will be the norm.
i use both mac and pc (custom built) and i enjoy going back ad forth between the platforms. They each offer things specific to the software, so there are pros and cons, but i think it worth having both!
hello Justine. I wanted to ask you if you have seen the new backpack from Vanguard ALTA SKY 51D. I know you recently got a backpack for your Phantom and Mavic but that looks too big. Can you take a look an this one and maybe if you can do a review on it. To me that backache is ideal for my P4P+ and other cameras. thank you and i really enjoy your videos.
I think the issues with final cut seem to be mostly with the people that speced out the MacBook pro i have the 512 stock 15 inch model and mine just works. Just goes to show specing out a computer doesn't always work.
how ever you can spec out a PC and install Mac OS they are called hackintoshs but don't know if IJ could handle that.
You're actually a legend @ijustine
