Almost every kind of design software (especially Adobe suite) is better optimized for them. Edited February 3, 20214 yr by texifornia

I am a converted windows user to Mac, they are superior in just about every way to windows. Our company won't even let us have Microsoft office without a business case, it's a brave new world oldster.

If you have a graphics team using PCs you hired your friends gamer kid to do half assed work. Macs are the tools of the trade and things like specs don't matter.
February 3, 20214 yr Yes, this seems like the perfect thread to once again adjudicate the Mac vs pc debate for one or more industries.

It is a shitty, severely overpriced product with a terrible closed-off OS that apparently possesses magical powers when it comes to design work but that's besides the point.

It's designed so stupid people can use it easily. Those people all go into creative jobs

Great for graphics, shit for data or analytics work. For years the Mac port had a rounding error in one of the mainstream statistical analysis platforms, if that tells you anything. If you want to do simulations, large scale optimization or any detailed analytics you are better off with a PC.. Edited February 3, 20214 yr by Laxtonto Autocorrect is a cunt

Thought Apple doing proprietary hardware ended a long time ago.. the mac pro has some proprietary hardware in the form of available dual AMD vega graphics card(s) (which has probably been eclipsed by the latest nvidia). it also has a custom prores raw decoder available (afterburner). getting both those things starts at $13,200. people banging away on laptops don't have those, though.
