IMac or MacBook Pro, what is better (performance)?

so
- in Nintendo

Hi, you're a creator myself and basically play on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch videos. I'd like to get an Apple device to work better with Photoshop and possibly Final Cut Pro X. Now I do not know if I should take an IMac or a MacBook Pro. The price does not matter here, but it goes here expressly and price ranges up to € 1,700 (I would get the equipment used) I would not take the rest of the MacBook with outside.

Yes, of course, an iMac. You get more and more power in a desktop than in a laptop. And a larger display, which is very pleasant to work in programs such as FCPX.

Ps: Look forward to the, NEON DO NOT TAKE APPLE 'answers 😂😂

Then of course Imac. You definitely get more power for your money. Incidentally, Photoshop also runs on Windows, and you can't work better with a Mac usually. Of course, if you want to use FCPX, there's no way around the Mac.

Yes, but people definitely understand, but I love the design of Apple. All devices are indeed overpriced, but they look ultra luxurious.

Gu

Okay, the opinion I find now again only miserable and certainly confirms some clichés 😂

Ro

And what value does that bring you?

Co

Apple sacrifices performance for the design, and you pay anyway. That would be as if sports cars slower than cheap cars, and still pay the extra charge.

But I always find it good, because superficial people punish themselves here.

Anyone who has ever sat at a recent Mac knows that this is simply not true.

Especially in programs such as FCPX, the performance is sick. And that in the basic equipment.

Co

This is not due to the hardware, but to FCPX itself. And you can do that on a Hackintosh, if you really want that. With pretty much all Apple devices, the cooling is cut in favor of the design, so that the usually not very strong hardware can't even fully extend their performance. In addition, the devices can't be opened, so you can't easily remove accumulating dust, so in the long run, the cooling and thus the computing power continues to decrease.

Of course, Apple does not itch, because if the Mac of the "smart" Apple user is too slow, he just buys a new, and Apple rubs his hands.

Gu

All this does not change my statement. Why do you write so much about things that I have not mentioned? Maybe I even agree with you?

Still, a Mac has a very good performance. That's just how it is. In FCPX, in Blender, in Ableton - everything optimized for Mac? I do not think so.

I have a Macbook Pro for 2000 euro and an Asus gaming laptop for as much as 2000 euro from the same year.

The Asus is significantly slower in direct comparison, although it has probably installed the 5-fold hardware.

Mistakes constantly on newly put Windows, the battery is TOT after 2 years, it does not last 30 minutes in the desktop, bad speakers, poor display compared to the Mac is almost all bad.

The MacBook is always stable, 1.5 kilos lighter, has a super battery, great display and is faster. Hmm. I have not been an Apple fan for a long time, not at all. But I can compare facts.
