For those inclined, the Hackintosh route was an option for affordable and configurable MacOS computing until changes from Apple made these unviable in the long term.įor some, the PC’s strength continues to be its configurability, with a whole industry of services providing custom builds, or the components for self-builders to bring forth their creations. Modern machines’ attributes have converged in recent years, with the price to performance ratio especially becoming more comparable. While tech specs can be still be objectively compared, premium materials and design cost extra some may conclude that if the performance is up to scratch then the other things can wait. While this could be taken as the more expensive machine being objectively better, those familiar will know that the two platforms have traditionally had differing approaches to what a computer should have. Considering CostĬomputing illustrates as well as any other product that you generally get what you pay for. In parallel to this, the Apple Macintosh was establishing roots among the creative industries perhaps in part owing to its early lead in using a GUI and mouse as opposed to its rival’s text based leanings and an emphasis on networking. As such, earlier machines were indeed developed with a particular task in mind, explaining the PC’s strong association with business and commerce under the International Business Machines (IBM) moniker. SpecialismĪny notions of ‘better’ have roots in the development of these two computing camps, from the days when most work happened in the hardware domain. Once the debate is seen from above in this way, the differences start to seem less significant and choices between the two easier to consider. When it comes to the long-running debates surrounding Macs’ or PCs’ ability to outrun the other, both have one basic function at their heart: crunching data. Whether comparing cars, computers, houses, or any other commodity, all the options on the table must have one thing in common, and that is their overall function. While this guide cannot cover the huge number of permutations across systems, if you’re thinking of making the leap from one platform to another, or are perhaps working across both, read on… All Computers Do The Same Thing We look at the differences beyond personal preference.
#PARALLELS ACCESS NO SOUND PRO#
Of the issues in Pro Audio that provoke debate, the question of Mac ‘versus’ PC continues to be divisive to many.
