  • Apple confirms new MacBook Pro models have only slower UHS-II SD card slots

    I'm not aware of a major camera maker that has adopted UHS III (there are licensing reasons, apparently). At this point, it appears to be used by a very small sub-set of users. I'm a photographer and shoot with Leica SL2 and Nikon D850 cameras.... and neither manufacturer has adopted UHS III so far.

    To a certain extent, it would have 'future-proofed' the slot, but for how many people exactly? The transfer speeds for my RAW files - from either camera - are currently acceptable to me using an external card reader, so I'm glad it'll be one less thing I have to carry around and plug in to my laptop - when it gets delivered.

  • Apple unveils macOS Monterey at WWDC 2021

    "Certain macOS Monterey features are directly related to hardware."

    Anyone else a little pi**ed that there wasn't even a hint of hardware to take full advantage of this amazing new OS? 

    You'd be forgiven if you believed there are no indications of pro-level machines coming anytime soon based on that keynote, despite all the bluster and rumours coming from the tech press (Bloomberg, Kuo, et al). I can't be the only professional user who's been waiting for more than 2 years for a laptop - or desktop - that can offer at least 4 TB of storage and a decent amount of RAM. Is Apple not bothered about professional users - again?!

    Damn. I'm sure all the bells and whistles of the new OS are great and all, but really? Nothing? not even a dropped hint? After 2 years?
