My extensive experience tells me that if you spend equal money on a PC, not only will it be faster, but it will 'just work,' too. People tend to compare $5000 Macs to $1500 PCs.

Leica vs. Sony (in theory)

That's funny. When I did IT, I had far more problems with our Macs than our PCs.
Turns out not to be the case in the corporate world. Macbooks and PCs are about $500 apart at most but usually only $250. And no, we spend about $2000 on the average Mac or PC.
It was true in the 90s and my other company that was 100% Mac went 100% PC overnight because of constant problems. Different game now.

My point was that we can’t / don’t have a creative drive for Macs in my company, just reliability and even with that, most folks won’t choose them. Our best and most creative work is done by people on both PCs and Macs.

Milcman, take a step back and ask yourself why people go to such lengths to build hackintoshes. It's because of just how good mac software is.
My mac scrolls so smoothly. It's buttery smooth. Not so with Windows, no matter how much hardware you throw at it.
That should, in large measure, answer your question about why creatives prefer macs, despite the pcs supposedly having faster hardware.
Remember, it's not how much hardware you have, it's what you do with it that matters more.
Same with Leicas. User experience, not who has the biggest hardware is the trump card.
Earlier, i used the analogy of fine vs cheap wine. If all you're doing is spec-sheet reading, you could say "well, the cheap wine has just as many calories, water etc. as the more expensive wine," so why go with the better one.
see above.
you are the only person claiming that.
no, his exact words were "overall market share" and "Apple dominates the creative space"
you are going o/t, but that's o.k. because it's a silly thread anyway
given that creative apps run on both platforms, and pcs are generally faster, i don't see any logic to that claim.

Totally agree. As a Fuji shooter, I aspire toward Leica. Dream camera. Sony no thanks. Just pass on the AF to the other brands.
How to interpret it? A car may advantage another in nearly every aspect except that it may have only three tires.
Even pure ergonomics matters and can be a crucial factor.
Typical PC maker doesn’t make their own screens, and the company that makes this “miraculous” stuff is the same that makes the other stuff. Purgatory is maybe just most realizing how much nonsense we lived by.
Dell has next business day on site. The Apple maglev charger breaks like nothing, so do many parts break down. There are more Applegate and class action suits than any other company. By the way, I enjoy my Mac and my PC. The Mac has better usability and integration, although has one of the worst monitors in the world (2017 book air), so bad I don’t know how things really look like. But I use it for other stuff.
We just got AppleCare enterprise and it provides onsite same day replacement and doesn't cost more than standard AppleCare.
That's old news. Everyone is USB C now including Apple. But Magsafe was a great idea and works well unless you wind the crap out of your charger cable.
Let's see that comparison.

That's not true. I've used both and there's no difference.
It's because it's what their used to, not because they're better. Why do Engineers use PCs almost exclusively (which is a fact BTW) for CAD work, both 3D and 2D? I
You tend to give off an air of superiority because you consider yourself some kind of connoisseur that us peons can't appreciate. Well I'm a retired engineer and that attitude is something I frown upon.
Bad analogy. Wine is 100% about the subjective experience. Computers are 95% about practicality. I can see where we differ. I am 100% about getting the job done and the so called user experience doesn't matter as long as the hardware doesn't get in the way. My Win 10 computers (I own 3 of them) don't get in the way. They simply work.
Wait a minute. You just joined 5 days ago. That explains it. Which previously banned member are you? How many aliases have you gone through?

You just revealed your true agenda here. What you previously posted was this:
Let's not do Apple a disservice by comparing Leica to it.
Leica is like that overpriced junk watches people get that will soon be obsolete -- you know, the Omegas and like -- through whose heart Apple Watch drove a stake.
Like those watch brands, I can't think of any innovations Leica has made in the last 50 years. It is truly a brand stuck in the 20th century.
You have revealed your true agenda here, to stir up trouble, not have a reasonable discussion. That also puts a knife in your connoisseur argument, comparing an overpriced electronic watch with a finely engineered, precision made mechanical watch.

From my experience Windows PCs are far more reliable now than they were 15-20 years ago.
