but please stop throwing out all ports and have me buy some dongle. yes, this is where apple really has become a "bit" of a silly thing. yes, this is a personal thing, I simply utterly prefer the handling, stability, and layout of OS X in almost every aspect of daily computing life. I use both Windows and OS X at my work, and frankly, there's very little that is in favour of the latest (or older) Windows versions vs. you'll find solid offerings on both ends.įor me - personally - the more interesting aspects are: Hardware - if you're looking at top-shelve models, is pretty much irrelevant in the Mac vs. If someone really wants to target you they will hack you irrespective of what OS you are on and if you have antivirus.
If you are stupid and install malware yourself it is your tax on stupidity. For the last at least 12 years I did not run any anti-virus unless you take into account that Windows has its own antivirus as of late. I personally use Windows and for the last at least 15 years did not get any virus or malware that I was aware of. > I know someone who uses Mac's exclusively and has for about the past 10 years or more.
But Mac OS X is still of interest to those hackers who make targetted attacks. 3.49% market share is an indication of how unpopular Mac OS X is.īeing so unpopular Mac OS X will not attract hackers who try to profit from mass campaigns. The fact that Mac OS X is less secure and has more vulnerabilities does not change it is not as interesting to hackers. Have you considered it? And why would you choose one over the other? Let us know in the comments.
The hardware on the PC was better, and he was getting it for $1,000 less.Įver since the new MacBook Pros with their lack of ports came out, many photographers have been talking about switching to PC for their mobile editing needs. Obviously, there are a lot of other factors you could mention here-wins for both the PC and the Mac-but for Manny the decision was simple.
He chose the PC, and in this video he offers the top 5 reasons why he made that choice. If I were to get the 27", what specs (i5 vs i7, processor, RAM, etc.) should I consider for 4k? Again, I'm a hobbyist and my price range is preferably <$2000, but I'd like to know my options at a max of $2500.Ģ) I've seen a lot of review stay the 2016 15" MCP+touchbar is not worth the price tag what are your thoughts on the 2015 15" MCP? Capable to smoothly editing 4k w/ FCP?Īpple refurb store has a 2015 15" thoughts for 4k editing?ģ) If the 2015 is capable of doing the job which 15" model should I get? Its hard to know the available models since the Apple website doesn't sell them anymore.Photographer Manny Ortiz uses both Windows and Mac computers to edit his photos and video work, so when it came time to choose his next laptop he had a choice: 15-inch MacBook Pro or spec-ed out Dell XPS 15. I do plan to purchase an iMac or MBP to edit 4k footage on Final Cut Proġ) I was considering a 21.5" iMac, but after doing research a lot of people told me the 21.5" is very underpowered even if I customized the best specs on the Apple website.
I'm new to Apple products, video making, and don't know much about computers+specs. I recently got into making drone videos with my DJI Mavic. Hello! I want to emphasize that I'm a hobbyist so I do NOT need top tier specs.
