Mac for video editing you know whats bull****

 and you don't get any kind of support or service with that!

 

 

 

I told myself I wouldn't go in for another mauling but I have to call bs on that statement. I can support myself I know my rig inside and out. Every little detail and if something breaks I can go to staples and have a replacement part in less than 2 hours. Whereas with a mac you have to take it to apple and book an appt. then wait weeks for them to troubleshoot your problem along with every 16 year old girl within a 50 mile radius who doesn't know how to check her email...

Yes, you! Judging by you being on this forum (an I guess watching Linus videos) should know more about computers than the average user.

Consumer =/= business support. The same with Dell or HP.

 

(and also as a consumer I never had to wait 'weeks' for anything)

Good thing you bought it from Staples because Dell, HP, Lenovo, and everywhere else doesn't have an actual store.

 

Apple does. Also, you can take them to Best Buy since Best Buy has a mini Apple store.

I like staples because they stock bare minimum parts, like a few processors, 5 different psu's, and then about 10 random gpu's like a 9800 still in stock up to a out of the blue 580. And I live a few blocks away from them,

yes but lets be real. Staples' computer parts and selection are no where near as diverse as a computer hardware store. This just hurts you in the long run.

 

That being said, yeah you have to go to Apple to get something fixed, but there have been times where they just take the hard drive out and swap it with a brand new computer because it's under warranty and they can ship it back to refurbish. Not always, but there have been times. If you buy through like Dell, you'll have to send it back.
