Bradley has been managing Apple devices in an education environment since 2009. Through his experience deploying and managing 100s of Macs and 100s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple’s products work at scale, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for students.</em></p>
<hr />
<p>Every couple of years, I make a large purchase with Apple for my school. We work directly with Apple on the products, and we even lease everything directly through Apple Financial Services (with a $1 buyout at the end). It’s a process that takes a few weeks to work through as we go back and forth with Apple on price, product model, and leasing terms. One item that always comes up is AppleCare+. It comes up once, and I decline it. There is often <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/11/15/applecare-plus-iphone-x-repair-cost-comparison/">discussion</a> amongst technology buyers on whether AppleCare+ is worth the price or not for personal products. I see it both ways for individuals. Schools and businesses, on the other hand, should <em>almost never</em> buy AppleCare+ for any of their products, and particularly not the low end iPad. Here’s my rationale for that:</p>

The problem, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/03/opinion-lg-5k-ultrafine-display/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as I wrote later</a>, was finding someone to take my money.</p>
<p>What I really want now is to replace my existing two-screen setup – 15-inch MacBook Pro on the left, 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display on the right – with a single monitor.</p>
<p>That means I need something substantially wider than 27 inches and 2560 pixels. My colleague Jeff <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/20/review-lg-34-34uc98-ultrawide-curved-monitor-display-review-video-editing-widescreen-movies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tested one candidate</a> back in 2016, LG’s 34-inch UltraWide. But that didn’t tick all of my boxes, so I held out …</p>

The latest estimate is that Samsung charges Apple around $97 per display.</p>
<p>Apple’s negotiating position has been weak, as Samsung has so far been the only company able to make the displays to the iPhone maker’s exacting standards in sufficient volumes. That looked set to change as Apple worked to bring LG on board as a second supplier for this year’s iPhones, but that plan now seems to be in doubt …</p>

Thu, 19 Apr 2018 22:41:28 +00009to5MacHands-on: DaVinci Resolve’s eGPU-accelerated timeline performance and exports totally crush integrated GPU results [Video]
https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/19/macos-egpu-performance-test-davinci-resolve-video/
Thu, 19 Apr 2018 20:59:53 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/davinci-resolve-studio-egpu-macos-test.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600" /></div><p>Even though Final Cut Pro X curiously doesn’t support external GPUs yet, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/davinci-resolve/id571213070?mt=12&uo=4&at=11l9Le">DaVinci Resolve</a> is another popular <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system">NLE</a> that already works with eGPUs on macOS. In fact, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/davinci-resolve-studio/id900392332?mt=12&uo=4&at=11l9Le">the $299 Studio edition</a> supports multiple GPUs, which can have a noticeable effect on both timeline and render/export performance.</p>
<p>I’ve been super impressed with the relentlessness that Blackmagic Design, the creators behind DaVinci Resolve, has displayed while iterating on its hardware and software products. For example, DaVinci Resolve has progressed from what was primarily viewed as a colorist’s tool that you’d use and round trip back to your primary NLE, to a competent standalone NLE. The upcoming version 15, <a href="https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/">now in beta</a>, even sports a motion graphics platform called Fusion that’s baked right in.</p>
<p>As I recently traversed the show floor in Las Vegas at NAB 2018, there was a noticeable buzz about DaVinci Resolve — several popular vendors specifically named-dropped Resolve in reference to its eGPU support, and noted the impressive performance gains made possible by this feature.</p>
<p>In this hands-on video walkthrough, I showcase using DaVinci Resolve with multiple eGPUs. As you’ll see, an eGPU can turn a MacBook Pro — a machine that may struggle editing in DaVinci Resolve on its own — into a capable editing machine. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/19/macos-egpu-performance-test-davinci-resolve-video/#more-529776" class="more-link">more…</a></p>
