MacBook and Capture One?
Anyone actually using Capture One with the new MacBook?
I don't need speculation. The video here gives the impression that semi-Pro use may not be so disappointing.

I'm not quite ready for a 15" MBP, and I understand the advantages the 13" rMBP has over the MacBook, but the size and screen/keyboard combination of the MacBook are extremely tempting.
I'm running Capture One, Photomatix and Acorn on a regular basis (just can't bring myself to run Adobe).
A few layers in C1 will do the job most of the time and my needs are not heavy, but I'm after a machine that can do the job on the road.
I'm also interested in the possibility of using a pen on Force Touch trackpad for photo editing, if anyone has tried it. I don't expect wacom performance, it only needs to be better than trackpad or mouse.
I know the 13" rMBP has Force Touch and I can see all its advantages, but I'd rather the MacBook if I can.
Any real world experience out there?

You don't need speculation but what readers need before they can help you is what you like to use the MacBook + Capture One combination for. Importing, tethering, editing, processing? You (can) tell us. 0 -
I am not sure what you mean by the term "new MacBook" but I am using C1Pro 8.2 on a 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina, i7, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. If that qualifies as "new", then perhaps I can answer your questions.
I find C1 to be relatively responsive without any real problem areas. I use external apps with C1 including PhotoLine, Affinity Photo Beta and PerfectPhoto Suite 9 and rarely have any memory problems although sometimes I do occasionally find the machine running at 99% memory usage.
The machine never seems to get hot, I rarely have a software crash and none of those have been C1. I am running Yosemite and the only complaint that I have is that I would like to have been able to buy more RAM. Not that I feel limited by my 16 GB but I don't like being over 75-80% usage.
Due to the limits of my 512 GB SSD (that was all that was available when I bought it) I keep my photos on an external Transcend 128 GB JetDrive which prevents my SSD from getting too full. I think the machine works well, but I have no idea if my work requirements are the same as yours.
If you have more specific question perhaps you can let me know so I can determine whether or not I can answer them, given my normal work usage. I am a family photographer and process raw images taken at home and on vacation, but I do no tethering or other professional type work.0 -

It seems you missed Apple's latest product announcement, apart from the Watch. 😉

It's exact name is 'MacBook' without any prefix or suffix in the name like Pro, Air, Retina. It is an low-spec machine, and users like to hear what others think about it.
The compare pages are maybe helpful.

Ha.
Yes, actually I did completely miss it. I have been paying absolutely no attention to the Apple website for the last 6-9 months since I had no plans to upgrade my macBook Pro and did not want to start drooling ...
Thanks for the links. I will take a look now and I guess that my posting on this subject were completely off the mark.0 -
Did anyone have any info on this? Also wondering if capture one will work on apples latest macbook (not pro) - the thin new one that comes in different colors.
It might be a little demanding for the non intel processor (shooting tethered or just editing raw with either 5dIII or leaf credo 40)...
It would make a great travel laptop with its long battery and light weight.0 -
AFAIK there's no such thing as a non-Intel MacBook yet. What model are you refering to? 0
