[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by DaveyLC[/i] its Marginal when compared to the high end stuff too.. If you were building a Video rendering rig that requires the GPU/CPU performance offered by a MacPro then the price difference isn't that massive.. [/quote] Not at all. The cost vs performance is pretty high were you compare a workstation from the likes of HP or Dell to a (new) Mac Pro and it further widens if you need to use expansion cards as it leaves you in the position of either replacing all of your outboard gear or purchasing thunderbolt expansion caddies (neither option is particularly cheap). It's why a lot of studios are moving away (or in the process of moving) from Mac/OSX and on to Windows and Windows variants of software. And the only reason i know this is because i've had the exact same conversion with my best friends who are either editors at Sky (they've moved from Avid on to Adobe, with a lot of systems being Windows) or BBC or are audio engineers at Angel, Abbey and other studios in the city. And i have nothing against Mac's or OSX (i've been using them near enough daily since OS9) as they have there place; but they certainly aren't the holy grail bandwagon'ers make them out to be. [quote][i]Originally posted by DaveyLC[/i] Its more down to the fact that most OSX users will go to the AppStore for software which has all been vetted....[/quote] There's been a handful of cases of malicious apps bypassing Apple's vetting due to code obfuscation, so it isn't a full-proof solution. [quote][i]Originally posted by DaveyLC[/i] ...but now she loves it because it to be quite frank NEVER EVER EVER goes wrong. [/quote] I suspect the half-bitten logo on the back plays a huge part in the amount of 'love' for the machine; just like having Hunter written on a welly ;) [quote][i]Originally posted by Reecemac[/i] Actually I think the reason is Macs are more idiot proof....[/quote] My users tend to find a way to fubar their Macs on a weekly-basis, so i'm not sure i agree with you there :lol: Plus being 'idiot proof' can hinder 'power' users with functionality and options not being easily accessible.
