    the £4k piece of crap iMac work got for me to use.

    • That iMac has a better CPU, better GPU, bigger and faster HD, faster ports, and includes a screen that is worth $1k+. But okay.monospaced
    • Exactly! Dont forget, if you have an issue, you cant walk into a Razer store and have them take care of you.ArmandoEstrada
    • Repairs in the razer are going to be MUCH easier to do by oneself. That’s where it wins easily. Unless they are closing the laptops like Apple does.monospaced
    • I wouldn't put too much on that, that Razer seems pretty tight. What type of repairs are you thinking you'll need to do? Moherboard? GPU? Probably not easy.ArmandoEstrada
    • Just saying, having a Mac give me a piece of mind that I have somewhere to go in case I need to. I havent had the need.ArmandoEstrada
    • I'd be interested in seeing the specs of your iMac, it's hard to compare laptop vs desktop.zarkonite
    • well why is the simplest AE comp running like a dog on the £4k iMac ? Oh.. because AE's gpu accelerated effects don't run on AMD gpu...shapesalad
    • a) that’s adobe’s problem, and b) would be an issue on any pc with an amd card.monospaced
    • I also hate that I can’t render with the amd gpu in my machine. Ridiculous.monospaced
    • Lugging a computer to a store is a hell of a lot less convenient than having someone show up and fix it where ever you are.formed
    • the fact that apple won't offer a capable card, makes it an apple problem tho.dyspl
    • I made the switch from mac after 15 years of being on mac pros (not mac book pros) just last year, never going backmoldero
    • macs are just way to god damn slow for the price, maybe some of us notice it more because we do video & 3d, I noticed it the most when i got into creating VRmoldero
    • on my mac pro, a 15 second AE clip running heavy particular took me 12 hours, vs 2.5 on my PC gaming laptopmoldero
    • also when I got back on PC, I forgot how much we're able to hack the OS to customize it, you'de think it'd be the other way around since macs are supposedly formoldero
