I have the Razer core and used a W5700 and a EVGA 2080 Super. The latter spanked the former when used in bootcamp.
I contemplated using Nvidia but all the pundits said it would cause an issue on the Mac side while working great in windows.
There are NO Nvidia drivers for macOS. It's not entirely clear whether Nvidia has no interest or whether Apple doesn't want to sign Nvidia drivers. Both say it's the other's fault (typical for companies. It's never their own fault).
Hopefully, the AMD support will last on the MBP 16 until I decide to get rid of it in 5 years or so. I still haven't sold my 2011 MBP 15with a 512GB SSD. It still handles Office 365 and Parallels for MS Project etc.
So two things. First, if that were the case, the 5600M would have similar issues. It doesn't. Second, Apple is the richest company in the world. Resources are not an issue for them. If they cared to fix the problem, they would. You know how I know? If a lawsuit forced them to you can be sure they'd jump on it and get it taken care of.
I hear you on this, and it's also boggled my mind how all kinds of bugs get past Apple's product development teams. The reason, I think, is largely that Apple notoriously understaffs teams and keeps things 'lean', despite having tons of cash on hand. It's part of their "organizational secret sauce", they'd like to think. Something about not having too many cooks in the kitchen, as it were. And who knows, maybe that works for them, if you measure success by "customer sat", stock price, cash pile, etc. But it does result in these ridiculous bugs and other issues that seemingly never get fixed, even though they're the world's biggest company, by many measures.
Really that bad? Apart from soldered memory I thought HP did s good job. There are not many reviews so far.Also we mac users are big complainers
I got the HP Zbook Studio G7 and it is vastly worse than the MBP 16". We all dont love the heat, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that Apple have done a much better job than HP.
So my top tip of the day is - DO NOT BUY A HP WORKSTATION LAPTOP. YOU WILL REGRET IT MASSIVELY.
Mine is up for grabs if anyone wants it? 4 days old and in mint condition
Just answering to myself.Got a question and hopefully someone could help me test if you have the environment.
Since in my use case (would like to keep the lid open) the power draw will be high anyways, I plan to do something M1 Mac can't do super well now. Get 2x cheap 4k monitors (with DP port and HDMIs only) and connect them to my laptop. Would like to get a CalDigit TS3+ as well if I can "disconnect" monitor and cool laptop easily.
Plan to connect 2 monitors and a HD used for TimeMachine to TS3+.
My question is, because I will be powering via TS3+ as well as having a HD connected to TS3+ so I don't want to disconnect that one cable. I also don't want to go to the back of the monitors or TS3+ whenever I want to disconnect the monitors.
Would simply click the power button on the monitor (looking at Dell S2721QS, no power through, no USB-C) "release" me from the external monitors? My current one (NEC 2690WUXi2) doesn't. I have to physically disconnect from it. Or is there anyway to do what I want to do easily?
Also, would a 2 external + 1 bulit-in monitor be any more demanding than 1 external + 1 built-in monitor? When doing office work. Since it's already taking all the power that Radeon High Side need when it's one 1 EXT + 1 Built-in.
Hope my question is clear. Thanks
it is phenomenally bad. My 5600m is so much better in bootcamp it isn't funny - actually it is an embarrassment to HP. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from the HP Zbook create / studio G7 if you can. It is unusable as a laptop, which given it is designed as a laptop means it is one big fail.
But they aren’t in my experience. Not even remotely close in fact. My desktop spanks the i9 10 gen zbook with 2070super in all ways (except being able to move it....).
Good to know, thanks. I was considering getting one for my company once they are available. Shrunk bezels compared to G6, lighter, centered trackpad, no numpad and trackpoint (worthless without middle button), seemed like a nice improvement to me.
This is the key. The 16" MBP marketing page is chock-full of false advertising. Quoting, with emphases my own:
This may all be, in a narrow sense, true, except that it's not practicably true, when one of the most common use-cases, especially this year, is to have the MBP docked to an external display, and connecting to said external display negates the new "advanced thermal architecture" and hinders performance. Add the fact that most people don't have a separate webcam, and rely on the MBP's built-in one, very few people run it in clamshell mode, which may or may not mitigate the issue (it certainly doesn't mitigate it for me).
I hear you. Probably the worst Mac product in a long time, but I think Intel have to shoulder a lot of the blame.
If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't know this machine is such a pos. (It is not!)
I guess I was lucky or a USB C connected monitor doesn't have this issue. I never had any issue unless I was using Final Cut Pro X or playing a Mac native game.
