    Right, this is day one and just QBN. I fear the day they actually release something.

    Of course you can do it cheaper with a Windows machine/custom build/whatever. When was that not the case?

    Yeah I'm a bit nostalgic, but it was more fun when you blithely bought a Mac because you were a designer. Perhaps it was easy because sending print artworks from Windows would earn you a well-deserved slap.

    Now everyone's an expert, poring over performance charts and lab tests and blowing angry little dismissive bubbles to climb into; it's a piece of shit while it's still only PR. Was the sky not cloudy enough yesterday?

    Throw away your Rotring retractable pencils, you can get 'em free at IKEA.

    • but price point at basic is a sub 2K build for 5999... ill informed consumers should know. more informed buyers generate better markets and products.deathboy
    • by the way how can you tell if you sent a print artwork from windows or a mac?deathboy
    • I’m going way back. When you packaged up the whole thing with fonts. Printers always kicked off...MrT
    • I understand the better-informed angle, but as soon as you buy anything it’s dated. It’s the pathological constant comparison I’m niggled byMrT

    • Just too expensive - I built a PC with more than the highest specs of the trash can for under 6K - It would have cost over 30K from apple - no upgrades either.toemaas

    • My Chrysler is kicking 4K videos 8x faster than my Ferarri. I'm both Mac and PC - I just havent liked where Mac is going with their prices for the same parts.toemaas
