I'm a VJ. You absolutely need that many ports when doing visuals at a concert or venue. That was the whole reason I bought a MBP. Now it looks like PC might be a better choice; Apple has abandoned the professional "workhorse" market and is leaning towards the Facebook/email machine market.
- bwilliams18 10y agoYou can now get four DisplayPort outputs from two ports: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F81EIBC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_11?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3HIHADV23VGU1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F81EIBC/ref=ox_sc_act_t... And they can all be 4k.

- odbol_ 10y agoFirst of all, that's Windows only. Says so right there in the listing. Second of all, it's yet another dongle I have to carry around and potentially lose. There's often not a whole lot of room on stage, so space is precious. Thirdly, those dongles that convert video are usually slow garbage. If I am performing as a VJ, I need the video to be frame-synced and perfectly synced to the music without lag. I can do that just fine on my current MBP (run 3 monitors at once from the ports built-in to the computer. That's specifically why I bought it.) And now I can do that just fine from some Asus laptop since Apple doesn't seem to want my business anymore.
