Ah yea, if you are stuck using an over-priced Mac laptop as your main machine, and cannot upgrade the storage or use an external hard drive or NAS because of buggy Apple software, that would be a decent reason to keep some of your photos in an exported state instead of keeping the whole archive flat and available online at the same time. Even so, you _can_ buy a MacBook Pro with up to an 8TB drive, it just costs 2x what it should.
- lostlogin 4y agoPretty much yes. Though I’d pay a lot more than I did for my laptop, it’s that good. I regularly see other machines get rated and do try them out but the hardware (trackpad in particular) is never anything like as nice. It works fine with a nas. Each to their own.
- aftbit 4y agoYea absolutely. I use a Linux desktop day-to-day, and a 6 year old ThinkPad on the go, but I'm a software engineer, not a creative professional. If I were a photographer by trade, I would certainly have a MacBookPro too.
