Re: Is Smoke 2013 already futureless because of Arrogance and Apple?

I was actually at NAB, and spent a lot of time in the Autodesk boot.

One thing I asked the Autodesk guys is what's gonna happen if Mac Pro goes EOL? And one said "I don't know really, but I can tell you Smoke runs way better on a Mac Pro than on an iMac."
Which is obvious, but I do share the sentiment that on a medium size post house an iMac is just not enough, unless you're doing just editing. There are cards that do heavy lifting, specially graphics cards, and there's not a solution yet for a pci-e thunderbolt expansion that allows graphic cards.

I mean, just look at DaVinci resolve, and all the hardware you really need to make it run decently on a client session, MacBook Pros and iMac are fine to be able to see the project, but the real deal if you're sitting with a client is that you need horsepower.

But there's also hackintosh, so worse come to worse I'll start experimenting with that as well
