I'm a music producer and we use something called "VST's" which are third party plug-ins for things like keyboards and various effects.

There are 10 popular VST's for windows for every 2 or 3 on Mac. I used to produce on a mac and it was extremely limiting.

No serious user/programmer cares about the new macbook. Certainly no serious user uses macos. Some use the form factor with another OS installed. You got played son.

It really is the most cynical lineup of macs ever.

Each model is designed to "push" you to the next one, it's literally not worth customising any of them except the top models. And honestly the base pro model should have started at $1150-1250

I've used Macs for years, but this is a bit much for me. I've seen hardcore fanboys suggesting that if you need an apple computer for under a grand, the iPad Pro is "perfectly sufficient" which is ridiculous.

On one hand, I appreciate Apple being the ones trying to move to USB C. On the other hand, pretty much everybody still uses USB 3.0 because it was legacy compatible and what not. I question if it was really necessary to change the peripheral so much that you need an adapter.

It basically means all of our flash drives and pretty much everything produced in the last ten years is obsolete. So not including a single USB port like that is a little infuriating.

I could overlook the missing ports and maybe even the ripoff price, but why the fuck did they replace the keyboard with the atrocious no travel one?

Apple is dead. The infinite loop is gone, because the X connected all the loops on the command key (the clover), which then lead to the clarification of Pro devices mobile and desktop and consumer devices mobile and desktop (X structure for 4 different flavours - pro desk/mobile and con desk/mobile). With them moving out of the infinite loop in Cupertino they break their own Apple and Command key. They literally destroy their own key of success.

The small MBP should be a fucking 13" macbook and not a MBP, it's fucking ridiculous. There is nothing Pro about having no ports and an absurdly bad performance for the buck. The MBA sucks now, no upgradable RAM and SSD which will lead to tons of dead devices in about a decade. I can easily boot one of my PowerMac or G3s or G4s, because I can put in full PRAM batteries, new RAM and new HDDs with new DVD ROMs. This is a thing of the past with the new Apple devices. Literally just one thing breaks and the whole fucking $1500 is trashed.

On a related note, not all professionals like the trashcan Mac Pro.

Wow, my $700 Acer Laptop performs better than that! It also has more functionality (USB, SD Card, USB-C, HDMI). Even when you factor in software on the MacBook (like iMovie), it doesn't seem like it's anywhere close to being worth its asking price.

That screen though is pretty nice. I travel a lot with my laptop, and being able to work outside better would be a major plus with the additional lighting.

Got an Asus C720 Chromebook for $160 because I pay $5/month for a VPs so I do all my work there and don't need anything else

Mac friends got scammed :^)

Anything more I can give to help support the friends and family of the late Steve Jobs and the advancement ofof humanity through technology is good.

If I wasn't buying their products, I'd be donating that much to their foundation of innovation regardless

They say only niggers call each other niggers.

It's almost exclusively Avid actually, FCP7 had a large userbase of professionals and was industry standard, while FCPX might not be industry standard anymore it's pretty capable of being used by professionals and lots of people still prefer it, and it's the best for on the go editing because it's the one which renders faster.
For amateurs it's either Premiere, FCPX or some other autistic shit no one uses like the Blackmagic software. Amateurs don't do AVID.

you say this but every photograph ever taken at any tech convention or event since about 2006 paints a different picture

no important us government contractor has touched Lenovo in years either so the thinkpad meme is a non-starter

>tech convention
there are things other than node.js m8

>>57415657
People who are important or useful enough to be asked to attend or talk at conventions generally aren't wasting their time on here screaming about 'mactoddlers'.

Even Microsoft's own conventions and events are dominated by Macs.

Academic conferences are dominated by Macs.

HOPE is dominated by Macs.

Chinks btfo.

you're literally retarded; you should be using AU's for plugins. Any reputable developer will supply an AU with their plugin, offering just VST is fanatic.

Producing for Windows is nightmarish unless you have really high end hardware, ASIO can not compete with CoreAudio.
