i am still doing well with my 2013 macbook air for general use but it's way too slow to work with camera raws so i think i'll just upgrade the home desktop pc from "$360 costco hp tower + monitor bundle" to an imac of some kind. not really sure what i'd need to run ps+lr well but i'll figure it out when i actually get closer to buying, maybe in the new year

do u need an imac because ur a ~*CrEaTiVe PrOfEsSiOnAl*~?

I hear the bits come out warmer and more dynamic when you render them with an imac, confirm/deny

I still think installing macOS on a desktop PC is the best option for mac on the desktop. Unless you really like the design of the iMac. I don't.

you could just chuck a graphics card in your hp machine and it'll probably be fine.

adobe stuff uses cuda to accelerate things right?

I seem to remember reading that GPU isn't always faster than CPU encoders. And getting Adobe or whatever to use the right thing isn't always easy. Because Adobe's poo poo is garbage.

i'll consider all my options but i'd prefer to have macos for my desktop at home to work better with appletv, laptop, etc. plus i've enjoyed using it on laptop since i first got the 2011 mba

i also have my photos in icloud (200gb option) and i'm not taken with how icloud works w/ windows. i am ok with imac's design. besides i'd like to kick my windows pc over to my mom who desperately could use a desktop upgrade and clean slate since my dad passed (and his was already getting long in the tooth)

i'm not a creative pro by any means, but i am into photography and in particular have my infant daughter i take tons of photos with on a fuji mirrorless. i'll probably be on at least that pace for the next 10 years at least. i'd like to get into ps/lr because macos/ios photos is really not working for me at this point

my mirrorless is supposed to be getting an update soon that will let you use the camera's in-built image processor with a pc, i will see if that helps matters at all but i don't have high hopes for it being a complete solution

The cool thing is you can dual boot into windows if you wanna play call of duty. And then go back to the mac side when you want to do literally anything else.

really the only reason i'm halfway considering getting a desktop machine that can do this is to play cuphead and gently caress with Breath Of The Wild hacks.

do you remember the tempest in a teacup that occurred when the anodization started wearing off the ~Chamfered Edges~ fairly quickly after the iPhone 5 came out, and all the other hullabaloo from people who didn't know what anodization was?

that's why.

I loved the patina and wear on my 5. not disagreeing with you though. most people don't appreciate the character a lil natural wear brings to the table

the first time you activate airplane mode in ios11, it turns everything off

anything you turn back on will stay on the next time you turn on airplane mode
