1080P is a HORRIBLE resolution for both Macs and PCs. I am pissed that 8 years ago I could get a monitor with a higher resolution then 1920x1080P. Now due to manufacturers being lazy, all LCD/LED panels utilize the same components with a maximum resolution of 1080P.
As an owner of a Macbook PRO Retina display I can flat out say there is a huge difference between my old macbook pro and my new one. Where once I had to utilize my 27" LCD monitor for editing, I can now use my laptops display and get more clarity for detail.
Am I saying that everyone and their mother needs to get a mac? No way. I think there are a select few like myself who need certain capabilities that the mac does offer.
I will say this: I know I can buy a laptop for $500 that is a Windows PC, but I also know that the Macbook air for 500 bucks more is lighter, smaller, and typically faster. And in most cases will last longer.
Now for desktops? If you are not buying or building a PC you are an idiot. Nuff said about that.
As for Visconti's tune: Holy crap dude. You are doing an incredible job, and now I just need to figure out how on a teacher's salary I can scrounge up the cash for the tune.  |
I find it interesting that you raved about the resolution offering of a retina display, then go and recommend the macbook air with the abysmal resolution of 1366x768. LOL. Hell, my 650$ tablet w/ dock has a 1920x1200 resolution
. Also, the new Zenbook Prime offers a better, faster, higher res laptop in the same form factor of the Air. I've been very impressed with Asus' offerings.
I ordered my kit, now all you guys need to order yours so we can all get discounts!!!
