Assuming the software on those "much cheaper" machines runs in exactly the same way.
Which it doesn't. Even if you use the same apps on Windows vs. a Mac, the OS's and their workflows are different in substantial ways.
Which they explain in the article.
Raw hardware cost is not the only driving factor in people's calculus of value. Also not sure where you thought you were going with the Leica example - especially with the image and ergonomics comments. Maybe you just don't know how to wield the tools - I have good friends with over 40 years of professional photography experience and the differences they get between their Leica and Nikon/Cannon cameras are more than noticeable.
Good grief. Just curious - how many billable hours in 3D modeling and animation do you have under your belt?
- jiggawatts 6y agoI've written a 3D engine and worked with dozens of graphics artists. They all used Windows. Apple used to have some unique software a long time ago, but generally Windows now has the same set of products and also many Windows-only products not natively available for Macs. It's like saying only Linux is viable for software development in a world where Visual Studio and IntelliJ IDEA exist.
