wabuf Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Upgraded the old 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15" to the same thing, just late 2015 model with 16GB RAM (double), 512GB SSD (double), and a Radeon R9 M370X (probably almost double). Upgraded my Vizio 37" 1080p panel to the LG 43" UHD (2160p) panel. Which is actually smaller due to a nearly non-existent bezel; and I can store stuff under it! Same monitors and driver: Yamaha HS7s driven by a Steinberg UR22. Same expansion hub: Anker 7-port USB 3.0 x 2 fast charge (1.5A + 2.1A). Same peripherals, intstruments, and so forth. The purpose of this upgrade was to be able to run 2160p at 60Hz reliably for extra room when working with timeline and panel-based applications. The extra space really helps and once you get over the tiny-ness of everything, you're hooked. It's much easier and less expensive than multiple displays. If anyone is planning on going 4K/UHD for computing purposes, I would highly suggest a screen larger than 40". Any smaller, and most ordinary objects become distorted and would require a magnifying glass in order to enjoy. The forum looks hilarious... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastercraze Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Nice! Been getting familiar with my 2015 Macbook Pro. (8 GB, 256 GB SSD, Iris Pro?) My workstation consists of a 27" QHD 2560 x 1440p Korean monitor (Crossover), the Macbook Pro, my Win7 tower (Core i5 4670k, 8 GB DDR3 @ 1866, 240 GB SSD, 128 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, soon 512 GB SSD), and my Raspberry Pi 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canga Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 What do you use the Raspberry Pi 2 for? I have an older model Raspberry Pi that needs to see the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the PI 2 sits idle atm. Might turn it into a SAN though will have to think about it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
