indigo 16,433 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Get higher specs over a larger screen if your going to be using this for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondgrade 5,588 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks, I will consider. I'm having a hard time since I'll spend so much money for this are you going to dedicate profesionally to photo and video editing or just for a hobby or fun?

Asarlai 1,099 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Get higher specs over a larger screen if your going to be using this for work. I'm really tempted with the 27inch and probably do the upgrade later but I guess you got a point since it will be cheaper. The prices are killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Marx 4,825 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It's definitely worth it, plus OS X is a very nice OS, which is really simple to pick up for new people, but also does a lot of things better than Windows Plus it just looks so beautiful, and so does the rest of the Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#goddamnitkongwee 10,566 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X is the only reason why you should get a Mac. I don't see any value getting them. You can't even watch Youtube 4k in hardware acceleration mode(unless running under Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asarlai 1,099 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 It's definitely worth it, plus OS X is a very nice OS, which is really simple to pick up for new people, but also does a lot of things better than Windows Plus it just looks so beautiful, and so does the rest of the Mac True, I read from reviews why they are still on par with others and speaking of beautiful, it IS aesthetically beautiful Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X is the only reason why you should get a Mac. I don't see any value getting them. You can't even watch Youtube 4k in hardware acceleration mode(unless running under Windows). Why I consider Apple to begin with is because they distribute Final Cut Pro X, but thanks for the advice. I'll try to review more about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a lot of them. People also switched when they are running Adobe products too. They are better off running in Windows. If really for productively, only Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X(maybe some other optimized apps) are the only reasons to get a Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondgrade 5,588 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm a web dev and mostly they consider peeps with knowledge in photo editing so... i see, well in my opinion it depends on your budget and what your gonna be using most of the time, i asume your gonna use photoshop and after effects/premier and if your just starting a cheaper option with a fast cpu will work just fine if your gonna be using sublime (or the tool you use) mainly and just ps/ae on the side or you want to fully learn and expertise on the editing programs it depends also if you move around a lot a laptop may be better since imacs are desktop and working long hours is a pain in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most designers I'm aware of run adobe software on Mac's, because for the majority of people, Mac's are better when it comes to design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
