Ahhh, Fodderstompf, my favorite PIL song!
Just saw spitfire released an update for HZ Strings. Hopefully it addresses some of the things people mentioned in this thread (I guess that could be a good sign also for BBC SO)
Anyone else running BBCSO on a new 16” MacBook Pro?
my next macbook! Mine is a 2013 retina. Crazy how well it runs after almost 7 years, but that 16" seems future proof enoughYep, works like a dream so far. 8-core i9 with 64gb RAM

Hopefully it is a good sign for their plans for the BBCSO. The update for hans zimmer strings certainly looks good and if they have done this for hans zimmer strings then hopefully they are planning on doing similar for the BBCSO
What worries me the most is that Maida Vale is slated for destruction. Doubt there'll be many improvements after that.

Thanks. Wondering if 32gb RAM would suffice for smaller projects (BBCSO strings and piano).Yep, works like a dream so far. 8-core i9 with 64gb RAM

Apple produced some bulletproof laptops c.2012-2013. With a speedy new SSD and maxed out RAM many are still fine for daily use and more.my next macbook! Mine is a 2013 retina. Crazy how well it runs after almost 7 years, but that 16" seems future proof enough
My mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro i7, 2.7GHz is still the laptop that I use for teaching and almost all my ordinary computer tasks. It's the last of the non-retinas (though it has user upgradeable RAM and SATA internal drive (long since upgraded with an SSD) and the DVD drive). It's still a perfectly serviceable machine and indeed until the latest round of Apple laptops came out I saw nothing from Apple that would have offered a significant improvement and many things that would have been deprecated on the newer machines. The only issues I'm having with it now (knock on virtual wood), is the headphone jack and one of the two USB3 ports are getting a bit wonky and so I need to be a bit careful inserting things into it. I don't use it for music production any longer, but 16GB of RAM was sufficient for almost any task other than working with large sample libraries and the CPU could handle a reasonable number of plug-ins/synths back when I used it that way. I still do quite a lot of rudimentary video editing on it. It's just been a very good machine, and even though the current laptops do look good and now seem like they will overall deliver an improvement in performance, I still would prefer to stick with this machine.Apple produced some bulletproof laptops c.2012-2013.

Even my battery is still going reasonably strong!Same here, still rocking a mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro on the side, had a RAM & SSD upgrade and works like a charm — it'll soon be in need of a new battery though!
