The reason is that every now and then one stops working and I quickly change audio source to make sure to have audio anyway. and maybe I would like to use obs due to its amazing flexibility.įor audio I do have both black hole and soundflower on both laptops (and maybe even Ishowu on one of them).
Now we can all agree that I don't need that resolution but rather prefer a higher framerate. So to understand what was going on i tried the default screen recorder included in macs (cmd+shift+%) and it manage to record 3360 × 2100 at 20fps with little to no slowdown (beware in obs i was trying to record on the base mac 720p30 with hardware encoding at 2.5MBits). but it didn't make sense as that pc is low power enough that throttling is not really understandable. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75.

That was until I tried to install obs on my friend laptop to allow her to record lectures (base model with Big Sur). Testing conducted by Apple in May 2017 using preproduction 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. So i assumed it was normal for a mac to be slow. but that's another story and for now I did not touch it.

I've attributed to extreme thermal throttling (CPU drops to 0.9GHz and GPU to 300MHz) and ordered some thermal pads, aluminum bars, copper shims to try and mod the cooling system. More specifically on a mid 2015 macbook pro with discrete graphic (Catalina) it has in the past months been a slideshow. MacBook pro that I want is i5 touchbar version with 512gb and 8gb of ram, it cost about 1850 at best buy. Those are MacBook pro 13 touchbar or surface pro 4.

I am however unable to find settings to smoothly record on macs. Short story, Im going to upgrade my laptop and I end up into 2 choices that might suit my need. I'd get the MacBook Pro as MacBook Air systems, outside of the new M1s, are weak in the CPU area. Both work just fine and all of the legacy ports are great as is MagSafe. I've been using it on anything from super old laptops to workstations and ever raspberry Pis with great satisfaction to the point where it has become my default choice even when i just need a compressor on my microphone. I also have a 2015 MacBook Pro 15 with the same specs as you're considering with 500 GB of storage. If you can afford the new 14" models based on the new M1 Pro or M1 Max chips, those should provide much better performance for video editing because they have more CPU and GPU cores, and additional specialized encoders/decoders for some video codecs, and they can be configured with up to 64GB unified memory, but most people would be fine with 16–32GB unified memory.Dear OBS community, first of all just let me say thanks to all the people that contributed to the project. The Air would be a safe choice not the fastest but certainly not slow either, and a definite step up in performance from any affordable or old Intel Mac. If you choose one of these, it would be best to order it with 16GB of unified memory. The 13" Pro may have somewhat better battery life. Otherwise, you are right that they will be about the same. Just to be clear, are you comparing only the 13" MacBook Air with the 13" M1 MacBook Pro, not the newer 14" M1 Pro or M1 Max MacBook Pro?īecause if you are comparing only the 13" models, then the Air is OK for shorter renders, but the Pro will sustain maximum performance longer because it has a cooling fan.
