    • Remove the 6ft Thunderbolt-3 cable, the wheels and the monitor stand, new price $9,900NBQ00
    • the one and only Mac pro in the office was exactly $50,947.98 lol
      ********
    • PC equivalent probably $3-4k + an OS you can actually customizemoldero
    • my mac pro trash can is in the closet where it belongs. aint ever going back to apple, I like the dark side. "PC Master Race!"moldero
    • Yup, current Mac Pro might be the last one for me as well. I prefer my Windows box by a long mile.zarkonite
    • I agree, been using PC since last October.Maaku
    • they are going into luxury products i heard a couple of years ago, guess they arrived.neverscared
    • got a hackintosh and i'm accessing my office macbook with remote desktop most of the times. clean as new, it's only existence is representation.

    • most of the workforce is using a mac, I feel like an old relic lol
      ********
    • Always feels good/great to max out a "concept" mac, eh @scarabin?

    • Where’s the best place to look/research if one was considering switching from Mac to PC?calculator
    • ^ follow Linus Tech tips on YouTubemoldero
    • because of that channel, I build them now, super easy and super cheap for really fast rigsmoldero
    • It's usually the solid state storage that accounts for the bulk of the price.monospaced
    • Do both! I use a Mac laptop and iMac for remote and certain things in the shop. My monster video editor PC - $4,900. The exact same specs on Apple - $29,000.toemaas
    • I’m thinking of switching to pc too... but scared like a good fanboy.MrT
    • a truck or a computer, what do you want?Bennn
    • I want a pimpin’ AE workstation. I’m in Aus so can’t get a Puget for examples.MrT
    • standard ssds are old and M2 drive prices are decent now monomoldero
    • Yeah but when you want a huge SSD m.2 you pay huge amounts. I’m referring to the Mac Pro also. It’s hard to get that price without the huge ssdsmonospaced
    • When the new Mac Pros were released I configured a 20-25k box, then found the same config on a HP workstation for over 30k so...

    • Get a PC, never look back. I will guide thy hand to unlimited sources for 'anything' really.

    • Love me some windows viruses. click herejaylarson
    • auto updates while you're rendering video? checkjaylarson
    • Viruses have been more of a problem on Macs than PC for years now and you can actually turn off auto-updates in Win10, if you dig around.Nairn
    • The former and latter points there being very much related...Nairn
    • The egregious aspects of Win10 are telemetry and sometimes awful OS UI, with mixes of types from decades of backwards compatability.Nairn
    • you can remove these things from windows, not like from iOs, macOs.
      ********
    • jaylarson: the update on mac is way more annoying. That fucking window in the top right at every boot, no way to cancel or ignore just push to tomorrow forever.zarkonite
    • the silent update that pops up, never makes a sound, and slips away a moment later?monospaced
    • Yes that one, it won't let you schedule later, skip it or how about don't even check for updates I'll do it myself. Windows just does it discreetly lets me knowzarkonite
    • later as part of the list of notifications and not a popup window.zarkonite
