Ports may be a bit older now, thunderbolt 2 is useful for using adapters that provide different display outputs than the HDMI port. Time machine is also just and super valuable feature. Everything just looks beautiful, which has an influence and the whole experience is simply wonderful. MacOS is the biggest reason I go for macs, once everything is set up the way you want you don't have to think about it anymore. SSDs are quite known for giving systems a fresh spin and certainly in combination with the i7 7700HQ it ensures a super smooth running system.

Went for the 512 GB ssd myself, which is nice and fast (1.9 Gb/s read and 1.46 Gb/s write) and which makes loading/opening applications/macOS itself very fast. Around 7 hours of light use is certainly realistic! I use Google Chrome myself, but if you use Safari, it lasts noticeably longer. Gamut coverage, measured with an i1 Display Pro, coming close to 100% with color delta values (color precision) being good.Īnother plus, the battery, which lasts a very long time. I now have a model with a great screen that is certainly suitable for producing photos/videos in sRGB or Rec. Coolblue gave me the opportunity to find a laptop that has very little trouble with this, the previous one not only had normal bleed but a color deviation (red discoloration) from an angle. Which is really a golden tip for finishing.Īfter working for a photographer for a longer time and having done all the finishing on 10bit Eizo screens, I was spoiled in that sense and I noticed that my first model was right. However, the GPU is not too weak to work smoothly with an external display. For example, all tools work fine while editing a single frame, but viewing your grade in real time will not happen. Coloring films in DaVinci Resolve is possible, but it is not optimal. I myself edit short films with Premiere Pro and Avid MC, but I use ProResproxy (720p and 1080p) files and the cutting is very smooth.

I think that this laptop is only recommended by Coolblue itself for editing photos, which I think is a justified conclusion. The biggest weakness is the GPU, Intel Iris Pro with 1.5 GB VRAM is just a joke compared to a regular laptop in the same price range. In addition, I often do backups, but I think it's a nice idea that in the biggest emergency the SSD can be removed. Went for this model above the 2017 macbook pro because of the stability and keyboard complaints that many users expressed on the internet and the keyboard problems are now also recognized by apple itself. To start my review I must say that I am quite demanding editing student who also takes color grade and sound design seriously.
