Re: From Mac to Windows - What to Expect
Yeah i mean i'm really quiet happy with my win 10 experience. It's damn fast and snappy if you are using a good machine like a P50 or P51 thinkpad.
If apple currently offered really good hardware then it would be a matter of personal preference but considering what they are doing with macbooks and trashcan macs... i just don't even see it as a reasonable option anymore. Unless you really want to use logic or final cut but then again... I don't really see any big benefits in using logic over protools. |

But you need to make sure it’s in the x16 slot for sure I wouldn’t have trusted a salesman....personally but that’s just for me.... I usually just hit forums to find out what works for most people..... There are some blessing with Mac....due to the limited hardware. Win has a million plus parts...and not all of them work well with PT.

Re: From Mac to Windows - What to Expect
Hi,
I to am switching from Mac to PC I find the soldered battery and memory totally unacceptable in a 'pro' laptop. I am a bit afraid that I run into some problems. Reading through a couple of topics I was wondering is there a list available somewhere of 'off the shelve' decent (repairable) laptops that are fully supported by AVID? Or can someone point to a good option? I was going to buy one of the new mbp's but as I said not spending 3k on a laptop that has a battery I cannot replace... |

Re: From Mac to Windows - What to Expect
Another thing to contend with in moving to Windows (or just adding Windows as a platform to your comfort zone) is the keyboard shortcuts. Most of the Windows shortcuts are the same as Mac but with different modifier keys, (e.g. Mac Control = Win START... Mac Command is now Win Control) Juxtaposing these keys is a bit of a mindfart… especially if you find yourself switching between Mac and PC in different studios.
You can situate things so that you use the Mac shortcuts across both platforms:

Re: From Mac to Windows - What to Expect
So I'm looking to move on from Apple as well and see an HP Z440 online with 64 gigs of ram for $1500. Pretty good I think. On average, how long will this computer be relevant in the PC world? Also looking at Pro Tools PC custom computers as well. I'd like my next computer to last for a good while and the Apple landscape is just too unsure right now.
The HP Z4's look great but an Avid approved machine is more than 3 grand. I like the $1500 - $2200 price range. My usage is audio post, no VI's, mostly Avid Pro and DMG plugs on PT 2018 HDX. Thx. |
