I use both. Some of the things I use will not run on Mac, and I do not like using bootcamp to run windows. So my windows pc just sits off to the side and I use remote admin to log into it from my mac. Works really well.

Tubevideditor · 05-07-2023, 09:50 PM

Moved away from Mac as they just can't keep up performance wise and always seem to be behind. Still no real news on the new Mac Pro Silicone either.
A maxxed out Mac Studio Ultra was decent for the first year but now the 4090 cards are out, they runs rings around the Studio.

Neither OS is perfect but Windows I find is more snappy to work with.

OneHung is pimping his Mac to the max with huge ass RAM.
I like seeing this!
I thought my new MSI notebook I pimped with 64GB is having a lot RAM on it, but over 300GB is another dimension

One time when I worked at Apple, I sold a $6k Mac Pro, even though I was with Applecare/tech support. So an employee told me to use my Apple ID to make the sale so that I would get some commission, but that made it ship to my house accidentally.. lol

2MuchMark · 05-17-2023, 09:27 AM

I think I have a pretty unique Setup.

My workstation is a Mac M1 Mini with 16 Gigs of Ram and a 49" Ultra-wide monitor, as well as an Intel NUC PC with 64 Gigabytes of Ram which I have sitting on my network rack. I connect to it from my Mac via Virtual Desktop. The NUC is running Windows 11 Pro, pus a few virtual machines including Windows Server (For Domain Controller, Active Directory, etc) and an Ubunutu Server, plus a couple of virtual Windows 10 Machines and a Virtual Network switch. All accessible from my Mac.

Why? For educational purposes. I started doing this during Covid as I had mainstream clients who wanted to migrate from their phyical offices to cloud services like Azure and AWS.

If you like learning stuff and are a geek with no friends or social life like me, then I strongly suggest you setup a Home Lab similar to this. It really helps to strengthen your IT skills.

Still on a quadcore i7 Dell with 16gb ram I bought in 2014 running Linux Mint... it won't die, but I did have to get an external wifi adapter to get any signal in my office.

It shouldn't be too hard - Mac's seem to hold their value really well. I sold a couple of 2010 iMac 27's for $700 each back in 2018... Try selling on Facebook marketplace - it works really well for me.

It's funny that you say that but I guess we run different applications. I find my M1 Mac (Apple Silicon) to be lightening-fast compared to my older Intel-based Mac. I was going to buy the new M2 Mac but decided I didn't really need it.

Look Chang · 05-17-2023, 08:39 PM

PC.
Asus Vivobook
Intel I5-10210U - 4CPUs 8threads
8Gb Ram
1000Gb/SSD

I do nothing special with my comp. Just following GFY and watching movies and I'm still creating some small websites with an old version of Microsoft Frontpage. . .

Yes, I'm old and retired.
