It's funny how many people here think that Macs are for lazy people or for people who just want to be cool. Does anyone here do animation or video editing for a living? Macs are extremely efficient and run just as many programs as PC's incredibly well. Hell, I can even run Windows from my Mac, in full form, no problem.
It's fine if you prefer PC's, many people do, but don't act like you know all Mac users are lazy or just trying to be hip. It makes you seem extremely uninformed and ignorant. |
Ah, another misconception. The notion that a Mac is somehow better than a PC for multimedia and art related fields. Most professional multimedia developers use PCs. The ones that use Macs still use the same programs that they could use on a much more powerful PC for cheaper. Really there is no reason to pick a Mac over a PC if you want to be some sort animator, graphic artist, video editor, etc.

I prefer FCP and the UI on a Mac, and most people I work with prefer the same. I will also take Maya on a Mac any day of the week. It all comes down to preference I suppose, are you a member of the field?

I am mostly a software engineer and desktop support/hardware support, but I have used both new Macs and new PCs to do various personal multimedia projects. For me, after using PCs my whole life, getting used to the differences in the Mac OS felt very strange and uncomfortable to me. But I was merely commenting on the performance of the machines, and for the price of a Mac I could get a much faster processor, more/faster ram, and more hard drive space for a PC, not to mention a better graphics card which makes a big difference in programs like Maya or ones that can use CUDA technology.
