I'm surprised by HN's response here. I always thought it was common knowledge that a custom PC would be faster than a mac. You don't pay for speed with Apple, you pay for user experience.
- coldtea 11y agoNot just user experience, lots of things people don't immediately appreciate: construction (e.g. unibody sturdy metal), backlit keyboards, multi-touch trackpads, newest ports, mag safe, better battery life, thinnes, less weight, hi-dpi high quality monitors, seamless "sleep/wake" behavior, etc -- not to mention high resale value.
- oliwarner 11y ago> you pay for user experience Which isn't vastly relevant in a single-application-suite workflow. It's end-to-end Adobe so you plug your SD card in, it copies some files out to an Adobe library and you edit them in Lightroom. I think many of the problems people are describing is more to do with what's being compared in hardware. Different monitor resolution, different CPU, etc. My own objection is buying top-end rubbish from a photography equipment supplier. You can get similar spec stuff and much cheaper. This seems to be an exercise in trying to spend $4k (which is actually quite hard when you're not buying a Mac) rather than building for value.
