Taking a bit longer with my PROLED MacBook Pro review (spoiler: it's really good) but in the meantime, I got hands on with Meta's newest VR Glasses and they are also GOOD:
MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR
Almost every demo I’ve seen has some amount of mis-touches and slight fumbles because at the end of the day this is still a computer designed to be used with a keyboard and a trackpad/mouse, but… there’s no denying it’s responsive and smooth as hell
Pro tip: the nanotexture version is way softer/smoother to the touch than the glossy, which drags a bit under your finger. Both do a surprisingly good job hiding fingerprints
You know what the most underrated difference to me is? The lighter weight. I swear. The 16-inch weighs almost a pound less than the non-touch version. Very into that
Full video impressions coming soon
I just paid $400 once for Final Cut Pro and used it for a DECADE
but Apple has been slooooowly dripping more and more features behind the subscription version in Apple "Creator Studio"
... and I think they're finally about to get me to pay ($129/yr) with this latest update. MotionVFX built-in
Looks like this is going to be a week of Apple press releases, starting today with the new OLED iPad Mini
- 8.5" OLED display
- A20 Pro chip
- "Acoustic display" instead of speaker grilles
- IP67 rating
- N1 and C2 chips
- Starting at $699 (+$200 from last gen)
My take: WAY better screen, WAY better chip, so a very welcome refresh. Very curious to try this audio system. but also I can't find any mention of 120Hz or ProMotion on the website, so.... 60Hz?
20+ app updates on my Duo since my review already, and there’s a new section in the App Store for apps optimized for duo as preorders start to arrive. Developers are off to the races
