Apple is so much more expensive. I have no idea about the $10k pc market, but I can only assume it represents a fraction (of a fraction) of a percentage.
For the sub 10k market, PC's are much less expensive. The top of the line iMac is $2,200. That's a 3.3 i5, 8GB ram (lol), and an AMD R9.
Spend that on a PC and you'll get the flagship 4.0 i7, 32GB RAM, and a GTX-1080. Plus, $500-600 to spend on a 4k 27" monitor. And, a 1TB SSD hard drive or two. Plus, you can expand on it, add another video card, whatever you want.
Seriously, fuck Apple. Most of us that sang their praises for so long would kill for a fuckin mid tower that we could work on ourselves. But, they don't give a shit, and neither do I. Build a boss computer, and Linux will run so fast in a VM, you won't even notice it's a VM.
- That's not the top iMac spec or price there. It's much more expensive and you can get the i7 and a big gpu.monospaced
- But you're still right. Can I build a machine with a 1080 and have a hackintosh?monospaced
- I'm not in the iMac range. I need a beast to render 3D and After Effects. I wouldn't even consider switching to save $1k to get some Photoshop work done.CyBrainX
