The moment Apple make touch a thing of OS X is the moment they have fucked off every single pro user.
It's a stupid idea. And stupid ideas that investors and share holders scream for.
Mac is not for gimmicks and nonsense. I use this shit to work. Leave the weird fanboy features to the phone/tablet world thanks.
- they have left the pro market a long time ago, son.mekk
- They make a Mac Pro. It's a beast.monospaced
- It's horribly overpriced and not upgradeable. Only blinded companies would invest in such a machine.mekk
- I know many video editors that would disagree. And they actually are upgrade able. Anyway.monospaced
- uh-hu? You're stuck with the CPU architecture until a new one comes out, GPU-change is worse than ever, Internal HDD space is a joke...mekk
- But oh, you've got thunderbolt.mekk
- I thought the gpu s could be swapped. Video editors rarely ever use internal storage for video anyway since it's so big. can you build one with same specs?monospaced
- I'm genuinely curious since my video editor friends swear by them and say it's the most powerful video editing available. But I can't personally verify that.monospaced
- Obviously it's not a machine for the masses. It's really designed for one thing.monospaced
- Of course these machines are fast and all but you really can build a faster one with far less money. I've impressed a lot of my coworkers with my $1600 PC,mekk
- esp when it comes to adobe software. InDesign is buttery smooth on Windows eg.mekk
- Was talking about the video cards actually. I heard they were hard or impossible to build in the same config as Mac Pro. And no thunderbolt.Maybe it's changed.monospaced
- I'm not trying to argue even. It's just that people who use them for what they do call them the best and they've used it all. Just my 2cmonospaced
- ..until you still need Final Cut Pro. Then you're trapped. But moving on to Premiere is strongly recommended.mekk
- Ask moldero. He might have some input as a video editor himself.monospaced
- did an online yesterday on a Mac Pro, day before grade on a mac, week before offline edit on mac etc.... OS X is a great os and still fine for pro's.inteliboy
- point is to not want all that OTHER iOS shit on a mac.inteliboy
- mono: the video cards are standard ATIs, nothing you can't have on PC.zarkonite
- zark: can you build a machine with multiple?monospaced
- i worked on apple computers back when they were called macintosh during 80s and such. since the mid 90s they turned into almost shit. 2k + just shit. sorry.renderedred
- today, no difference between apple and pc. except the hipster price you pay for apples.renderedred
- lol @ ATImekk
- @renderedred for that extra price you get a limited software, shit repairability and less harware choice, too!mekk
