Question for you Apple crazies
In article , Bill W
writes: My home is paid for, and I'm moving to a place where housing is about half what it is here, so if I buy something about the same size, I might have enough left over to buy an Apple product... So some questions: Most important, is there any point in shopping around for the best price on a Macbook Pro, or is the pricing pretty much fixed? I see that there a lot of listings with years mentioned. How far back can I go to be able to dual boot into Windows? How far back to get a great retina display? And how far back to get great performance, something that is more than adequate for LR & PS, video and audio editing? How far back where I can still easily add a second high quality display? If we're talking half the price of a house, why not just buy the latest, greatest stuff? And buy an iPad Pro while you're at it. |

More important for what purpose? If you want to give up tonal gradations in the dark areas, that's fine with me. I guess it's more important for posting non-existent images. -- PeterN |

More important for what purpose? image quality. duh. If you want to give up tonal gradations in the dark areas, that's fine with me. no need to give up anything. again, you're basing your ill informed opinion on long obsolete hardware and stubbornly refuse to accept that things have changed. I guess it's more important for posting non-existent images. i guess you have to resort to ad hominem attacks, since you have nothing else. |

And they still do not show tonal gradations in the darker areas. That is one of the reasons why graphics professionals use matte displays. retina resolution is *far* more important. -- PeterN |

When certain individuals stop worshiping a brand name, and recognize that different people have different,and legitimate needs. There is more than one Apple user in this NG, and I have yet to find any of them refering to users of other OSses by blatantly demeaning terms. Each of us have made decisions regarding cameras, lenses, processing software, and OS. Those decisions have been based on photographic purpose, personal budget, and particular biases. I for one can’t even thing of a term as insulting for Windows, or Linux users as the “appleseed” you and Mayayana use to demean Mac users. ....and I do take it personally, as it is not, cute, flippant, or funny. With your response above you confirm that you are targeting individuals. The way you, and Mayayana use it is intentionally insulting. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Tonal graduations in dark areas? I have yet to see any evidence that you are truly concerned with that problem. I suggest that the next time you have the opportunity you should see for yourself how one of your images appears on one of the latest 5K Mac displays. I am sure that B&H would be more than happy to give you access to one of their Macs in their store when next you visit. I believe you will be surprised. -- Regards, Savageduck |
