Descent hardware?
My 3 times faster, 2.5 times cheaper hackintosh would like to have a talk with you.
crApple is all about slim and flat designs that are inevitably adding hardware limitations (battery, throttled cpu/gpu) and locking their customers with Tx chips to prevent easy repair when the warranty has expired.
$1000 display stand, lol.
Fuck em.
My main computers are a macbook pro from 2011 and a mini from 2012. Thousands of hours of rendering and complex math modeling, plus daily productivity. No other computer systems that I have ever owned or used has come close in value for investment.
I'm talking about performance per $.
That's the whole point of a computer you use for work.
Thousands of hours of rendering and complex math modeling
No offence but, professionals don't use computers (mac mini with a mobile gpu lol and 2011 mbp series with defective overheating gpu) crippled by their elitist design to render intensive tasks.
I'm sure your "Thousands of hours of rendering" would have taken only hundreds of hours with a dedicated OpenCL box for the same if not cheaper price.
Take from it what you will. For almost 10 years, I’ve spent a day’s salary per year for my productivity.
Your ad hominem attacks are entertaining. Although it doesn’t matter to this conversation, I’ve used several of the largest publicly owned supercomputers in the us for my work in neurobiology.
