So should I expect a significative slow down in my workflow for the first couple of hours when switching to a MBP?


I use the num keypad a lot with my iMac and Logic for screen sets, markers and all that involves a numeric entry. I noticed that the MBP has no num keypad. I use an iMac and plan to get a rMBP this year. In my case, this also corresponded to a strategy to have most of what I need "virtual" (instead of hardware).īut it's only my humble experience, other will surely think differently Yes, it's a little slowdown in the workflow, but I took the habit of using the "go to." keycommand ("," on my keyboard) a lot, and the spacebar doesn't achieve the exact same as start / stop keys, but work pretty fine anyway.Īll in all, even if I would have had lots of opportunities to purchase any sort of fixed desktop Mac, I would never trade off the flexibility of a laptop (you take most of your studio with you anywhere) for a few functionalities (I miss my second display as well when traveling) since the 10 years or so I made the move to laptop. So I do have to readjust when travelling with my MBP without the extended keyboard (which I leave in the studio). Besides, the "start" and "stop" commands on the "enter" and "0" keys are very useful as well). I use the numeric keypad mostly for markers (not for screensets, as I reconfigured the keycommands).
