Naa, hackintoshes are far to hard to maintain. Its either real Macs, Dell optiplexes (although I've seen a few of those hackitoshed) and HP z series(win/linux) Most of london is HP.
Macs are still needed because of quicktime, and final cut (plus a few other niche products)
People use the Laptops a lot, because they are actually quite good. Certainly longer lasting than anything from Sony or Toshiba.
- l33tbro 13y agoHmmm ... Final Cut? I would have thought NLE's in VFX would be mostly Avid now .. after the whole FCPX bungle last year.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoMany production houses still use Final Cut Pro 7 and will continue to do so for quite some time to come. Most smaller teams and freelancers I know are switching to Final Cut X, now that it has support for FCP7 compatibility and multi-cam editing. Features like audio syncing are a lot better in Final Cut X, and once you get used to the new interface, the workflow is a lot more convenient.
