Oh, one more thing…

Why express card, dual thunderbolt is perfect replacement for express card.

SxS and eSATA for now. I can’t connect eSATA until Fall with Thunderbolt.

[Liam Hall] “It tells you all you need to know about FCPX really.”
I agree. (tho likely not from the viewpoint you were intending! ; )
FCP-X is clearly the flagship Apple editing solution for today and for the future. They’re building it to scale up with every increase in performance and technology that the Apple team develops. They release a laptop with a serious resolution enhancement by way of a retina display – and X can take full advantage of it right out of the gate. Sweet!
I couldn’t be happier that I’ve already learned to swim in the FCP-X sea. Reminds me of my first trip to St. Maarten. The water is wonderful and the view in every direction absolutely outstanding.
I know a lot of you do work that requires you to keep working inside traditional offices. And it’s good that there are more traditional equipment vendors ready to meet your needs.
But I’m fully ready for a new, more mobile life with a toolset that doesn’t tie me to the same desk, seeing the same cubicle walls every day of the rest of my working life.
Great times indeed!

“Yup.

[Chris Harlan] “I get it. I just like the extra real estate in terms of size.”
Isn’t that instantly solved by the Thunderbolt Cinema Display?

https://www.liamhall.net“Why?
I dont’ have any problem appreciating the reproduction quality of a good magazine ad – which has significantly better resolution than any video display.
And I don’t recall having to stick it six inches from my face to enjoy that resolution.
Apple’s always had excellent screen scaling technology to allow their displays to be ergonomically sized for the individual users preferences. So what’s the problem?
Also you must have noted that today’s announced FCP-X upgrade supports native 1080p at in the main screen display. So the denser raster will likely have an immediate benefit for those of us who edit with X.
Seems like all benefit and no downside to me.

I doubt you are more mobile than me Bill (I shot in 22 counties in the last year alone). One thing I always like is coming home and moving from my laptop to my tower. I guess thunderbolt will help the transition to a non-desktop based edit suite, but it’s not a great solution IMHO.

Perhaps you’re in the wrong profession if your eyes aren’t that good. Have you even played with an iPad 3? Open up a photo on it and hold it next to the same photo on your laptop. Even better, hold up a website of text for comparison. As I type right now on a 1080p monitor, the text is fairly small and fuzzy. Fuzzy sucks. Fuzzy makes stuff look out of focus that isn’t. Fuzzy creates tons of posts here about he viewer/canvas looking crappy.
