Full Sail donāt have any contract with Apple, they give a Mac to every student because in the industry of Music, Film, Digital Art, Technology and Entertainment, working on a Mac is industry standardā¦
āApple is losing its grip on American classrooms, which technology companies have long used to hook students on their brands for life.ā -NY Times
Firstly weāre talking about a for-profit organization thatās sole purpose is to make money off of education, they work with Apple because Apple makes them the most money.
Secondly thereās no contract, Apple simply offers them better pricing than their competition does because they know how valuable it is to get students learning how to do their jobs on macs.
On top of that, I went to college for digital media, it was all macs and they said the same thing.
After I made a joke about not having money for other things because we had so many macs I learned from the man that ran the entire program that Apple was actually the cheapest.
And per industry standard, go walk through Pixar who leads the animation industry in many ways, and see itās a mix of mac and pc.
gchriswill
No, I havenāt invested thousands of dollars for a PC rig. Of course not. Ok, try to run natively OS X on your rig⦠Even Windows runs better on a Mac with faster IO executionā¦
So youāre comparing your experience with a PC that didnāt even meet your needs vs a mac that was probably around 2kā¦
gchriswill
Most versatile computer, yes⦠Why, you can integrate a Mac in any environment and runs natively or virtually mostly any OS thoughā¦
No. PCās can run more hardware, more software, in more environments.
The fact that Macās can run Windows but MacOS doesnāt have drivers for most PC hardware so PCās canāt run MacOS doesnāt make them more versatile, actually the opposite.
That being said, my PC runs Maverickās in VM very well, and I could make it run without emulation.
Hands down, youāll find PCās in a wider range of environments because they can run a much wider range of hardware, which then opens up more software compatibility.
Macās arenāt more versatile.
gchriswill
Macs are a jewel in the creative environment. Mostly EVERY DESIGNER uses on for work⦠Mostly EVERY developer uses one in their setupā¦
Iāve heard the same thing from Apple fanboys a million times, but until you start listing real features, itās just talk.
Listing designers and other people using Macās is anecdotal evidence (logical fallacy) and doesnāt really mean anything for their quality, good or bad. The user who purchased the mac likely doesnāt even know what country it was assembled, let alone its true value.
gchriswill
And thatās a FACTā¦
Facts are what I use, you are biased towards Apple and I donāt even think you should have an opinion on Mac vs PC yet since you clearly havenāt worked with decent Windows machines enough to have a proper comparison.
You had some cheap PCās that anyone would dislike and now you think thatās what PCās are like for everyone, thatās bias.
Full Sail uses Macās not because theyāre better for media but because Apple underbid PCās in order to get students learning on their computers first and more comfortable with them instead of PCās, your bias towards apple is a product of apples marketing strategies.
gchriswill
macOS NEVER ask Users for such thing thoughā¦
Context? What are you talking about?
gchriswill
And yes, most parts of Apple computers are from 3rd party vendors, BUT mostly made specifically for Macā¦
āMostā is wrong. ALL. Every single part of a mac computer is made by someone else andĀ assembled by someone else, which is Foxconn. The only part of the mac thatās made by Apple is the design. Macās are made by the same people that make PCās.
gchriswill
Hey, I got a nice and decent idea. Why we just do a test challenge between any of your PC with the same or similar specs as my Mac, with default configurations and see which computer preserves the best functional performance? When debating I donāt like to talk much, I like to execute and prove what Iām saying is fact⦠š So, let me know whenever you can if you accept the challenge or not⦠š
Respectfully, you donāt like to talk much because you donāt know what youāre talking about. Iāve spent over a decade between Macās and PCās and youāve never even owned a good PC⦠For about 6 years I had a Powermac G5 next to a PC and switched between them with a KVM, you havenāt compared the two platforms that thoroughly.
Back to your challenge, I donāt have hardware thatās similar except for my outdated macbook pro, and my PC will absolutely destroy your mac.
The highest end Mac Pro with a Xeon processor is still less powerful than my X99 PC. My PCās CPU, RAM, GPU, and SSD are all faster.
So no, I donātĀ āaccept the challengeā because itās not a challenge, even if you had the best mac on the market my PC would dominate it with RAM thatās twice as fast, etc.
gchriswill
Also, I think you posted your fragmentation link in the wrong spot. I just read itā¦.
Well that explains a lot, sorry Iām trying to give thorough responses without spending too much time here. I do apologize.
gchriswill
Yes, that why, macOS will runs way much smother, faster over PC. The āharmonyā of software, hardware and services, is a combination of their success though⦠As you said, Microsoft provide Windows builds to PC third party vendors for customizing it as needed. But that is the main error Microsoft did⦠Thatās why Mac is feels so exclusive/high quality and Windows is not. For example, using a Mac is like driving a Tesla, and using a PC is like driving a Saturnā¦
No, using those pieces of junk you had for PCās is like a Saturn. My PC boots in two seconds and is rock-solid, which is more like a Tesla. Its interface is clean and fast and it never crashes.
gchriswill
But as a Software Engineer/dev, I donāt see it relevant to use āFragmentationā statements like that, thus audience might not be familiar with the term or my get confused, like I did when you use it in a context where you didnāt specified by a following statement. And worst, provided the wrong back up link source (which is your own, in which post donāt have any external and credible sourcesā¦) Fragmentation in the PC world = disk fragmentation though⦠right?
Had you known more about Macās vs PCās youād know what type of fragmentation Iām talking about without context. Itās a staple of the debate, Apple isnāt as fragmented, while Windows is more versatile.
And you can easily google anything I say, so I donāt bother sourcing since I deal only in facts.
gchriswill: I had to jump in to this conversation. The topic is a bit biased and some donāt understand the real virtue of Apple computer nowadays. Iāve always been a PC user, for gaming, for work, for home. Iām a Software Engineer and Developer. Iāve been programming for the past 4 years. And until, 2012, that I owned my first Mac, for academic programming training at Full Sail University, Iāve been using a Mac and detach every Windows relationship since then.
There has been only a reason that I had been forced to install Windows in my Mac, Gaming due to Mac lacks a bit on gaming. I know Macs are pricey, but if you donāt know or even experienced the harmony between Apple hardware, Software and Services, then thereās no way you could make a point with a huge loop hole between its end.
Just ask real Pro Users. Not just the ones that makes reviews or get paid to promote or advertise, or even worst collect your opinion to make it theirs. Iām not trying to offend no one, this is reality. Why the heck nobody ask real Pro Users. Such like developers, designers, Content Media Creators, even hackers⦠What you see on their desks? Is not about price or even look, is how they work and the results you get from them. The Mac is a most versatile computer as for today, since 2008.
No one can argue that, NO ONE!⦠You can run mostly any operating system on a Mac, not just macOS, FYI. Also, the Mac is the most durable machine yet. I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro non-retina, with top specs. I used it as a Laptop, as desktop, and a portable server. I run several virtual machines, running a variety of different operating systems, plus gaming, plus design tools, plus web, software and mobile development tools. Multiples monitors and multiple hard drive / SSD enclosures.
And my mac still runs flawlessly, since I got it. And, combined with iPhone and Watch, honestly Iām not going back to Windows. And every person that had a similar experience will say the same. I donāt know your backgrounds or why you need a computer for. But, if you figure how to use a Mac and take advantage of all its capabilities, the you will say the same and feel the same about Apple products as I doā¦
PC you said? Man, every pc that Iāve owned, it had last for about a year, due to the pressure I had put into it. Before anyone talks about PC and Mac, please ask people with knowledge and experience on both, and mostly real Pro/Power Users. Man, anyone that uses a Mac for work, theyāre really generating money and donāt care about pricing that much, because itās going to pay for itself over timeā¦
On the side of a consumer product, yes, itās a bit pricey⦠But remember, a Mac is a high quality product among the rest of computers and not just for everyone. A Mac is for people that think differentlyā¦
Itās understandable but surprising that for a software engineer/dev you didnāt mention fragmentation, which is thatĀ āharmonyā you speak of. Hereās a post where I talk about Appleās quality:
http://altruistech.tumblr.com/post/110176094603/whats-really-different-about-apple
The Mac is a most versatile computer as for today, since 2008.
I do have to say this, the Mac is not the most versatile computer, thereās dozens of PCās that are more versatile, as in capable of running more software and hardware than a Mac.
If a customer comes to me for a deep learning computer the only choice is a PC. If another customer needs a gaming and twitch streaming computer, a PC is the best choice.
Most versatile? No. Best for every content creator or dev? No. That harmony you speak of is only worth so much, and only useful to certain people.
Regarding the value of Macās, it depends on the user, but most people can use Windows 10 (which is dramatically improved from 7 or 8.1) and have it meet all of their needs perfectly well.
http://altruistech.tumblr.com/post/143381454353/noobaside-said-apple-is-so-overpriced-for-what
Hereās an example of their products being simply overrated:
http://altruistech.tumblr.com/post/135279621503/my-8-year-old-thinkpad-wacom-stylus-vs-the-new
And this post explains the value in their ability to test so much of their own hardware:
http://altruistech.tumblr.com/post/115303629283/apple-hardware-test-simply-press-d-before-the
PC you said? Man, every pc that Iāve owned, it had last for about a year, due to the pressure I had put into it.
Iām going to be honest, it sounds like you didnāt invest in the right PC hardware, certainly not powerful enough, and probably not with Windows 10.
My rig was built for CAD, virtualization, gaming, etc, and it will last longer than my macbook pro simply because itās massively more upgradeable and it helps that itās very well cooled.
You mentioned pressure killing your PCās, my PC literally never idles because I run Folding@Home and virtualized servers, and itās going to last much longer than a year.
Whatās very likely is you never had the proper PC hardware and then jumped to Apple which always make sure even the base models run their OS very well.

My main problem with apple has always been their pricing. I would love to use Apple software, and in fact that's why I Hackintoshed a Thinkpad. But ideally I'd just be able to get a reasonably priced Apple computer some day.
Yeah their pricing is pretty high. I think the Mac mini is the only āreasonablyā priced one in its class but even then itās just a basic desktop and itās still a bit questionable. I guess try looking at used or refurbished Macs (or Hackintosh like you did) if you want one for cheaper.
Hereās an example for my response earlier.
The first is slightly less powerful than the mac mini but a lot less expensive AND includes Windows 10 Home. The second is more powerful still for less money and it also includes Windows 10 Home. Linux users rejoice.
Mac Mini 499.99
1.4GHz dual-core Intel 500GB (5400-rpm) hard drive 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 Intel HD Graphics 5000 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking
Custom PC 397.91
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz - 14.99 ASRock 775I65G R3.0 Micro ATX - 49.99 DDR 533 2GB - 30.00 Radeon 9550 256MB 128-bit - 31.99 Hitachi Ultrastar 7200 2TB 39.99 Viotek 450W - 24.99 Coolermaster N200 Micro ATX 49.99 Linksys AC580 Wifi 15.99 PCIe USB 3.0 card - 19.99 Windows 10 - 119.99
If you donāt like 775 or DDR because itās old (even though the macās cpu specsās and hard drive speed are even older)
Custom PC thatās faster than the Mac mini 467.75
Intel i3 3.3GHz - 44.94 ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 Mini ITX - 114.99 Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 24.88 EVGA GeForce 8400 - 31.99 Hitachi Ultrastar 7200 2TB 39.99 Viotek 450W - 24.99 Coolermaster N200 Micro ATX 49.99 Linksys AC580 Wifi 15.99 Windows 10 Home - 119.99

By technicality, the Mac Pro is the best priced, as upon its release it was 400 dollars cheaper than a PC with the same hardware.
The mac mini, along with the rest are cheaper to build as a PCās.
99.999% of the questions customers ask me they could have googleād and not paid me hourly to answer for them.
Itās because of this that I donāt think voting works in America anymore, people are honestly really stupid and they donāt even try to learn by themselves.
