It is basically impossible except maybe with the TOP of the line RTX card. What I was referring to is low-level differences in how instructions are handled inside the processor that make the ARM based M1 much more efficient than x86 based Intel and AMD chips.Īs far as decoding, try editing 10 BIT 4:2:2 H.265 footage on an Nvidia GPU. I also didn't say than M1 is FASTER than Intel. But what I was trying to say is that the power per watt and thermal efficiency are significantly better. I didn't say that M1 had better performance than RTX. There is also AMD and Nvidia etc etc, but that is pretty similar. To start with Intel AND Nvidia is one of the most common combinations for video editing so that's why a put them together with a /. Attend a Zoom conf? Have the option of display sound when you want it?Ĭlick to expand.You have some good points but. Don’t you want reliable and high quality color rendition for your photo and video work? I do. I feel that a large part of the price premium for Mac are for these things I want on any computer. Shouldn’t every display have speakers? The PC standard seems to have stalled at a mid-nineties sound card and an easily damaged fuzzy monitor. Then there’s the very high-powered big iron PC desktop I sometimes use at work… why exactly, in this day and age, does a $5000 PC not integrate a microphone and webcam?Įven sound and display output are far different experiences. That “value” MSI gaming laptop is noisy! I really have gotten used to the Mac world. Knowing what’s supported at the kids’ schools is pretty important, in my opinion.Īll my photo/audio/video work is on Mac, but I’m learning photogrammetry methods which must be on PC. Mac provides certain benefits/deficits, and so does Windows. Mac and PC are both legit choices for all photo and video editing software applications. The original poster was asking about systems for their kids though. I find Windows a bit cantankerous though… it is a spliced, bandaids, and bailing wire kind of OS, with thousands of moving parts that users of those “accessible OS” kinds of apps sometimes have to troubleshoot, patch, or work around. This is very real in 3D, gaming, game authoring, AR, VR, etc. On the other hand, “closed” means that innovators in several application areas will turn to Windows (or sometimes Linux) first (and may *never* get to MacOS) for an accessible OS for adaptations. It’s not that I “don’t mind” them - Apple consistently has provided an evolving pinnacle of human interface and industrial design only possible in a closed system. The closed hardware/OS ecosystem of Mac provides significant benefits I value. If anyone is feeling generous, I'm accepting donations of a new M1 MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM and at least a 2TB drive.Ĭlick to expand.That’s just it. Try to do the same tasks in each package to see how easy or painful it is. If you have a choice, download the trials, watch some tutorials to get a basic idea, and explore the workflow. ![]() If they use Premiere, for example, go with that. Don't be like me and give your kid a Linux laptop when they only use Windows at school.Īs for software, the same applies. However, in an education setting, I agree with the comment about using what the school uses. Since she upgraded to v11 it's slower than molasses in the winter. ![]() My wife has a Windows laptop and it's horrible. I don't miss the blue screen of death when Windows would just puke all over itself. I'm a software developer by trade and this is critical for me. I think it's a much more stable platform. As a former Windows user, I'm 100% Mac (both at home and work) and you'd have to pry my Mac from my cold, dead hands. ![]()
