Especially content producers can easily use up all hardware enhancements for rendering and such, so they do appreciate a newer machine.
- bad_user 11y agoI'm a software developer, so I'm arguably a content producer. I have a 4 year old laptop that's still fine for software development, even though I'm using heavy tools to do it (e.g. Scala, IntelliJ IDEA), I only had to replace its battery. Producing content doesn't necessarily mean 3D rendering. It can mean just writing Word / Excel / PowerPoint documents.

- bad_user 11y agoContent, noun: 1. the amount of a particular constituent occurring in a substance. 2. the material dealt with in a speech, literary work, etc. as distinct from its form or style. 3. information made available by a website or other electronic medium. Producer, noun: 1. a person, company, or country that makes, grows, or supplies goods or commodities. 2. a person or thing that makes or causes something. Maybe we are not speaking the same language.
