I can tell you that the Film/TV and Advertising Post Production world has moved on. We built our business on Apple but Apple is a day late and an overpriced dollar short. I cant run my business waiting for Apple to get around to maybe, someday upgrading a 7 year old piece of hardware. tech changes too fast. I didnt leave Apple, Apple left me

Here is the real deal: its a box meant to do a job. the differences between operating systems come down to a choice. I prefer the MAC OS but I get much more bang for the buck with a PC, AT THIS CURRENT TIME. I am a professional film and video editor. I need a fast, powerful machine that I can upgrade as video technology continues to evolve. RIGHT NOW, Apple is not in that space. They may very well be again, once this mythical new MacPro comes out. But right now, I am getting more speed, more processing power, better network operability across multiple workstations with a PC. Also, my machines pay for themselves within a few months. Do I like windows 10? Not really, but as I stated before, I have a business to run, one that changes almost daily and I need a system that can change with it. I just upgraded my Resolve Color Correction system with two NVidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards. That machine flys. You can't upgrade your graphics cards on any currently available Apple product. As long as Apple keeps putting out closed architecture boxes that are not readily upgradable, they are going to be behind the curve. And yes I know FCPX is optimized to run on Apple hardware and does so extremely well. That's all well and good if you are only editing. We do so much more than just editing and those things require powerful computers that can keep up with changing technological demands of our clients. I wish Apple was still the leader in that space but they are not.  That may change and if so, we will too. But right now........
