Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?
by Jeremy Garchow on Oct 17, 2008 at 1:34:31 am

I did Google it and found one in Chicago, actually. It was no less than 1,000 discs made @ $3.25 a disc, which did not include a $1300 AACS fee plus $.04 per disc for the AACS. So, that means I can get 1,000 discs (no less) and that will cost me $4,590 plus tax and shipping. Cheaper than when I last checked, but still not cheap. It is also rare that I need a run of 1,000. That also was from a DLT master. It didn't mention anything from a BD-R master.


Anyway, sorry this got off topic, I just think that Apple does not deliberately hobble anything. Decisions needs to be made, business decisions, and you can't include everything in every release and expect to keep the same cost or lower. In my opinion, the macbook has not been a legit FCP editor for a while anyway. If you need to edit, you can spend the extra $600 for a real computer with real connectivity that will operate FCS without issue.
