I am simply disappointed that by now, 2020, although I can do a lot more and faster (and that is all wonderful), at the same time also the almost same things I could do all day long in 2008 are now taxing my battery life more than ever. With my macbook 2008 quad core with 4gb I could run simultaneously PS, AE, AI, ID all day. There simply isnt need for the machine to run at full throttle all the time.Īnd this is the problem people are pointing out, and many of us are using laptops for creative work everyday relying on Adobe software - me personally since 1995. Those are the options.'Įxactly, the speed SHOULD be throttled down A LOT on LIGHT tasks. 'Either throttle down speed, or crank up the fans. What a rant, but this is so super annoying! So no, I'm not pleased on having all the power to run my laptop when all that power is simply not needed. It's like revving up the car on max revolutions on parking lot and saying 'arent you glad you're car is using all its power' - it's unnecesary!

Since 2015 either Apple or Adobe dropped the ball on heat/system management and this has become a real issue.Īnd we do understand, there are tasks that do need a lot of power like running physics simulations, rendering animations or encoding video clips, but simply copy-pasting an image and adjusting colors or using a type tool over 8-bit image should not be one of them. 'Yeah hi! It's just my brand new super powerful Macbook Pro' Goodness sakes, the old macbooks with older versions of CC didnt make this noise, I've been using mac laptops since 2006.

Sitting at a meeting trying to whip some powerpoint graphics and everyone looking at you like your laptop is about to explode. No, it is absolutely bizarre that even the LIGHT photoshop actions are turning my laptop into a fighter jet.
