Is there any one here using the 8-core MBP as both a desktop and mobile workstation? Is it reliable enough to replace my 2013 Cylindar 6-core?
I just cant afford the 7k it take to get a new MacPro. So i thought about a 2.4ghz (8-Core) , 64gb ram MBP. I have 2 screens and 2 external drives one is a 4-bay 2.5 ssds. it would be 70% desktop running 12-14hrs a day and 30% mobile unit.
I have heard that the MBP gets hot as a desktop with more than 1 additional screen and that in general it runs hot in editing on its existing screen. its geekbench single core score is about 280 points higher than my current machine.
Any small tips would help.
Have something to add?
