I'm still waiting for new mac pros(but I also have a workstation..) I'm also waiting for apple to get their 30" screens up to date. I'm holding out for a 30" LED Cinema Display from Apple, and the new mac pros.
I do motion graphics, video editing, graphic design and 3d design/animation. I'm thinking of an 8 core mac with 32 GB ram 8tb internal storage and a Quadro Plex 2200 S4 with 16gb of graphics memory would this be enough or too much? I HATE waiting for After Effects to render!
buy your apple from Crucial, they'll do it cheap and it lets you know exactly waht memory your system needs.
So just upgrade that yourself, its completely allowed under warranty. So an 8 Core Mac Pro or even an iMac with the i7 CPU would be good. You can upgrade the RAM on that as well, there are slots on the bottom side of the screen.
Certainly CPU will render after effects faster, but more RAM in AE means you can render more of your timeline, so get as much as you can.
why don't u just buy a pc and install double system?? alright, i just sold my ibm laptop,and got a new desktop ,it's only au$2800 , Q9550CPU, DUAL 1GB9800GTX+SLI. 4GBDDR3 1033MHZ..i think it's better than macpro .
all of you people giving false comments are being kinda harsh on the subject.
i know A LOT about macs. i have spent so many years, mainly since 4th grade, STUDYING macs. at age 14, i was asked if i'd ever considered working at a mac store (guess i look a little older than i am).
but all in all, from what i paid attention to, he gave great reasons as to why you should choose either path.
He just seemed to be talking to a younger age group, than talking to 40 year olds.
What set up do I need as far as hardware specs for an Apple if I want to do some midi/audio recording? I'm sick of having stupid Windows and I want to make sure I buy what I need.
WRONG, the 2.8GHz (8-Core) which is the one mostly everyone getting is only $2700 the cheapest 8-Core OEM that is the market today and that's is the one i'm getting after I sale my PC
thats odd.. umm why in europe the 2.8Ghz 8 core , 2 gb ram, 500gb hdd, version with no monitor, no keyboard .. umm why is it 5000$ FUCKING DOLLARS!!@?#?!@? I was about to get a mac, but my brain BSOD-ed when i saw the price at apple...
didnt he just say he chatted with that kid daniel and then he says, daniel never described what he would be doing. well dumbass, if you chatted with him why didnt u ask him????
Mac pros are not designed for home use.. they are more for professionals, and those who rely on them for a living. My mac does everything I throw at it, though I don't use any of Apple's apps, simply because they don't interest me.
hey glenn.... i really LOVE your vids... im a big fan of u ;) so i just recently ordered a mbp and i think ill be happy with it.... but my question is, plz can u send me ure wallpaper which u have in this vid on ure mac pro setted up or give me a link? thx for ur respond ´:) bye and im looking forward to ure next vid :)
Help. I cannot decide between a macbook pro 2.4ghz or an imac 24 2.8ghz! I am a huge user of after effects, photoshop, premiere and others. Would that run just as good on an imac?
man i wana buy da apple mac pro, 2 fings i wana ask...1 is wot do u mean wen it has 8 cores? how many cores duz a standard pc tower have? and the second question is stupid but i wana knw...wot wud u do if the mac pro got older after 5 or 6 years? wud u use it to upgrade to the future spec or buy a new one n throw this away or keep it?
i think option 2 is better, simply because its nice to have a good computer for home, but also a high quality laptop for when on the move, or to move between work/school and home... True a big USB could work too, but its always nice to use ur own machine.
Depends on how you customized it but of course if it was free a mac pro lol! But I think i mac looks sweet and of course macbook pro is sweet 2 and is a laptop, so it depends on my opinion
The mac pro is good , but i am a gamer and wouldn´t prefer this "work-machine" it can surely play games but i would rather have two or even three 8800GTX and good quad cpu... for much better price... the only things i like about mac is the Macbook , the Macbook Pro and the cinema display..
OS X is the most superior operating system out there! Combines the security, power, and performance of Unix with the ease of use of, well Mac OS X lol. XP and Vista are pathetic in comparison, there buggy, slow, and are terribly coded.
The Mac Pro is overpriced because it hasn't had a proper update in well over a year, after the update it will be great bang for buck.
yeah i have to agree with this guy. theres no point getting high spec'd mac unless u seriously need the power. Im guessing GlennWolsey dosent, he's more of a Mac fanatic.
Have you looked at all of the iLife software that comes with a Mac? This beats all of the trial software that comes on a PC by far. Then the trial of the iWork sweet that comes on all Macs. This beats MS Office by far.
The beauty of Windows is that there is so much open source software for it. You can buy windows and get great free software (like abiword) for it. That means u don't have to pay a dime and its legal and the programs are way better than mac ones & also PC's are more powerful so the programs run faster.
Pc's are in no way more powerful. Your OS can only understand 4GB's of RAM. Therefore, in a few years, or for anyone who needs a powerful machine, you're screwed. And the macs use better hardware than pc's. Faster processors, faster and bigger RAM and better hard drives. Macs are 5 times more reliable than pc's! Plus, if you build a pc yourself, you cant send it back for repair, you have to diagnose and fix the problem yourself!
Wait... You think Mac OS X is "inferior" to a shitty OS called Vista, which took Microshit five years to make and is considered one of the worst operating systems ever made?? You sir, are the idiot.I do not have a Mac yet, but I will be getting a MacBook for college. I actually just downgraded to XP!! So don't give me that "inferior" crap.
@GlennWolsey What kind of speakers are those and how good is the sound quality? I need a good pair of speakers and those would look great next to my MacBook Pro.
yh, Apple RAM costs so much money its unbelieveable. I bought an iMac with 1 GB RAM, then saved £479 by putting 3rd party RAM in it to bring it up to 4GB.
