My question is, all these people who spit on Adobe. What is Apple doing differently that would make it a good option? Apple is even more rent-seeking than Adobe. The fact that their software only runs on exorbitantly expensive hardware being the least of those methods.
- freeone3000 2y agoApple charges an up-front fee that you pay once. This makes a huge difference.
- mh- 2y agoReally? I paid once for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. 6 years ago, I think. They've continued to get major new features and updates. Adobe won't even sell me a non-subscription copy of Photoshop anymore.
- FredPret 2y agoApple only sells high-end hardware, but I wouldn't call it exorbitantly expensive. It's even kind of a good deal if you compare it to equivalent Wintel-ware / Android (if you can even a true equivalent). This also depends on where in the world you live.
- hollandheese 2y ago>Apple only sells high-end hardware, but I wouldn't call it exorbitantly expensive. $400 for a 2 TB SSD, $1000 for a 4 TB SSD, and $2200 for a 8 TB SSD.
- FredPret 2y agoThe SSD space is indeed expensive, but: - top-end SSDs from other vendors are also pricey, though probably less so than Apple - everything else about that machine is going to be a much better deal than just the drive in isolation
- hollandheese 2y agoNot probably less, vastly less.
