Hi, as stated I'm the owner of a rMBP with a Nvidia gpu (NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M.) While I'm still pretty satisfied with my machine, the fact that Apple won't allow any update to the drivers past 10.13 means I haven't update the os in a while, cause otherwise it will simply render my video card unusable. Since I paid a premium to have it, it bothers me to not be able to use it, and I saw it as a downgrade to update to a newer version of MacOs.
But as time goes on, more and more programs I use don't support 10.13, and I'm starting to wonder if the lost power is worth what I'm gaining from upgrading to 11.0. I also realize that it is probably as far as it goes, being the oldest model being officially supported, I expect it to be dropped for 11.1.
I wouldn't worry about it as much, if it wasn't that I was thinking about getting a new computer already for the past year, but the announcement of the transition to AS made me put that on hold. I would have gotten a new macbook this past summer if I wasn't that intrigued in the capacity of the new architecture, but I don't have that much disposable income to buy a new M1 device, and take the risk that it's underpowered for After Effects and company. Even though they promise a lot, I prefer to be on the safer side and still wait for a few month. So my current Macbook will have to do for a little while.
