Thanks Jon, just to make sure though you are using the keyboard on the MacBook or plugging in a US keyboard?
Im using Swedish keyboard⊠I just set the key thatâs right next to the left side shift key, the one with two arrows on, as toggle schematic. Does not take much time to get used to it and such setting only conflicts with some odd feature in the edl manager which I never use.
actually sorry shouldâve been clearer. I thought you said Mac Pro. I use a US keyboard for that. for the MacBook when in the studio I have the screen closed and running it out to a XDR screen with a tablet and US keyboard attached. but when on set I just use it as it is and put up with it!
So you have an English keyboard on the MacBook, it gives the option when you order it with US, I wonder if that actually has the Tilda in the position we want it in? Anyone else know the answer to this?
I just want it for travel/location work etc!!
if you look on apple us site the pic shows the keyboard with the Tilda in the right place. damn. wish id thought of that!
Yes, good news eh!!
well lets assume thatâs the case. I love my Mac book pro M1 MAX thingy. flame is a dream on it.
Do you have the 16inch screen?
yes - essential
Agreed
its a heavy beast though. nothing like those terrible old linux laptops though!
Whats the battery life like?
On my 2016 MBP itâs absolute crapâŠlucky to get an hour out of it.
JĂ€vla kladd @Bjorn_Benckert 
A few buggers slipped in between the keys 
I think the unified memory tech is pretty cool. This is the future. I was going to get a linux box but now I have my eyes on a MBP M1 max. Might wait a few more months. They seem to keep doubling GPU core counts. I wonder if there are plans for flame to take advantage of the neural engine chip? Kind of does away with southbridge / northbridge in a way. I mean the need to take data from traditional RAM and move it along PCIe to GPU RAM before traditional CUDA cores can process this data. This is the way. Iâm still learning. Catching up on Mr. Robot. Who flamed those shots? I like the old school 1980âs âplease silence your phonesâ movie theater intro that ends with 3D Mr. Robot text. Well now Iâm getting off topicâŠ
The Team has a record of implementing tech when itâs proved to be beneficial. They donât follow hype but do whatâs to be done. Iâm pretty sure that within the next or even this year, Metal will be fully supported. The current implementation works nicely. Running Flame on my new 16" MBP Max is a revelation.
I can see for the future that, at some point, Linux Flames will only survive in a network set-up at larger facilities. Standalone Flame at boutiques will entirely be all Macs. My Apple laptop outperforms my trusty old Z840, P6000, Dothill box. And thatâs just the beginning, as we all know.
