- A lot of people including myself are worried about Apple’s lack of support for pro gear. They haven’t updated since 2010 so there’s speculation on them pulling the plug on Mac Pro’s altogether. I know that when this Mac dies Im switching entirely to PC’s. All the post houses use PC’s in london and they rarely crash or lag…never seen a Mac Pro hooked up to a DX nitris…
- If you want a qualified Avid PC, check out the 800.
- {HP Z800}
- You can also wait to see if/when Avid will approve the new HP Z820. That’s an actual modern system, with on-board USB3 etc.
- As a house that runs Avid on both platforms, I can tell you from experience Avid is more stable/solid on PC.
- no one for mac? i’ve been working with avid exclusively on mac for 20+ years now – no problems at all.
