This is the greatest disadvantage of not using Apple, however internet if filled with help. When it comes to administration, you really should know about computer stuff and 'Windows specials' like the registry.

Start with an i5 if money is an issue, get only 32GB of RAM, take the mainboard on which the i7 or i9 will fit, too, pay attention to have 2 RAM slots free for 64GB upgrade, and so on.

Also, you can start with a mid-price PC and upgrade it over time. I think, if the machine is well build, it will last. For work, we updated graphic cards aswell (something you can't easily do on a Mac). At work, the oldest PCs are around 5 years and don't have any issues. I did spend lot of time reading forum posts and test on my last builds, now I can configure good working hardware in a few days.Īt home, my 7 year old PC is still running fine, I only upgraded graphic card.

The hardest part is to get a market overview, especially at mainboards (there are so many!!).

I always configure and build the thing on my own. They are overpriced and not well configured. I never trust those prebuild-out-of-the-box PCs. My only point is that you can't just look at the cost of the machine, you have to look at the cost of doing business. Depending on your workflow, it may be different for you. This does not mean I have a love affair with Apple, it just means that for me, a guy that has both Windows Machines and Apple products, the cost of ownership and the productivity I have with all of my work has been lower for the Apple products than the PCs. I've never seen a company that sells or services a PC match Apple Care. I kept it in service for another couple of years as a rendering node. The price was so low because Apple did not charge me for new memory, or a new CPU and they discounted the price of the power supply. Two weeks later and for less than $200 it was back in the office.

Three years later, when the Mac Pro had some memory and processor issues caused by a very tired power supply, I sent it back to Apple - out of warranty and way past Apple Care protection. Instead of fixing it, I sent it to the recycler. It was out of warranty so the repair costs, which were several thousand dollars, was all on me.

I once had Alienware build a customized PC for me that cost nearly 3 times what the Mac Pro I was using cost (a few years ago) and in the first year I had several weeks of downtime trying to figure out drivers and 12 months after purchase the power supply actually blew up with a bang killing the CPU and a bunch of other hardware.

Windows machines are more susceptible to IT problems and configuration and driver issues because the combination of hardware is almost unlimited. More often than not the best performance for the initial cost of ownership in the last few years has usually been on the PC side, but in my business, for everything that I do, when you throw in maintenance, IT costs, protection from virus and malware costs, and resale value my Mac's have been far cheaper to own, operate and upgrade than the Windows machines I have owned. The best system for the money always changes. I'm really a novice when it comes to tech and hardware stuff, so I just wanted to ask - Is this a good Mac setup for the money? Will it be a decent upgrade and last me for at least a couple of years? The 2019 Mac Pro is a little out of budget for us, and from reading a few forums, it seems as though the late 2013 Mac Pro is pretty terribly optimised for Adobe programs, so here's what I'm thinking of getting: It's been a pretty reliable workstation, but nowadays I'm experiencing a bit of slowdown, especially when it comes to opening Adobe programs (After Effects and Media Encoder specifically, although even Illustrator has been suffering from a bit of slowdown lately.) We work in an almost exclusively Mac-based office, and despite what I've read about people moving away from Mac in favour of PC setups lately, I'm still pretty dead set on getting a Mac, just for office workflow purposes. Hi all, I've been animating for a small production company using the same hardware setup for a couple of years now, and fortunately, my bosses have recently decided it's time to get me an upgrade!
