    lmao ur clueless

    no1 uses sony vegas professionally, and while final cut pro used to the business standard some years ago, everyone uses Adobe Premiere/AE now. sony vegas is 14 y/o youtuber in his basement type software

    FL is such a meme and altho its become good software, logic & pro tools are easily more favored by musicians other than soundcloud trap kids.

    when it comes to programming software it all depends on what ur making ur software for. irrelevant.

    What do you mean by professionally why are you bringing in what hollywood edits their films with for your use? FL isn't a meme as you then contradict yourself and say its good, it is good, if s-----y rappers use it because its easier to pick up that doesn't take away from the software. I don't know about logic but like I said im sure its good considering the people who use it. I still don't see the positives of spending more money for a mac that you can't upgrade and have to use alternate programs for, that you can do less on than just using a windows computer in the first place, that you can customize. It doesn't make any sense.

    that's literally the route you went with that original comment

    "well i've used both"

    and?
    generalizing, because far as I've been able to tell, the tablet focused s--- was some of the only real new big "features"
    :sad3:
    lel
    leeeeel
    so your reasoning is basically this:

    1. it looks better (not true, as anything to do with metro/tiles interfacing is pure a---)/7 looks outdated (definitely not true, since if you remove all the gross bs 8/10 has visually, they look almost identical)
    2. it's easy to use (despite 7 already being easy to use and s--- actually being more convoluted/locked down on 8/10 if you're a power user)
    3. support from microsoft, as if that's relevant and doesn't also come at the huge cost of their incredibly intrusive updates and huge privacy concerns
    when it comes to games, 7 is the most gaming compatible platform on a PC m8

    I'll give a s--- about worrying on this front when it becomes a serious issue. but that alone isn't enough of a reason to upgrade when all the other problems exist, and there are likely work-arounds in a lot of cases

    What are you talking about metro tiles, that was on 7. Nah not just support from microsoft support for newer programs is the reason to get it. Also I think your main point against 10 is the privacy concerns which I would understand but there isn't any, you can disable auto updates, it takes a few minutes but I did it.

    I'm mentioning what the professionals use bc theyre obviously the masters of their craft, and will use the tools that work the best. Go to any film production company and tell them you're great at Sony Vegas and they will laugh at you.

    I know u dont know about Logic since u mentioned GarageBand over it, which is p much logic lite or whatever.

    When you pay for a macbook you pay for the comfort and the experience. It's luxury. And ppl who actually work dont have time to customize. Thats y successful ppl use macbooks. I get wanting a toy you can tweak to different colors and designs or whatever, i used to be like that back in the day too. Then once theres enough work to do, having a neutral looking tool that just works is a lot more important.

    Yeah I had a mac a while ago and garageband came preinstalled, I don't actually customize my computer cause its a laptop but I still don't understand any pros behind getting a mac other than the name brand thing

    um

    no it wasn't

    that was literally introduced with 8 dude
    7 is still widely supported for programs tho

    like... what kind of issues with new programs are you running into it that you need serious support and couldn't get it on 7 lel
    lol
    I'm well aware

    doesn't make it any less convoluted a problem to fix, and it doesn't make it any less sketchy or annoying that they purposefully went out of their way to make it more difficult

    Yeah I meant 8 not 7 my bad. Windows 10 doesn't have that tile thing unless you turn it on which I don't I upgraded a computer and 10 came on it, yeah its annoying but not nearly annoying as having to pay for the upgrade. If you got a new computer today would you get it with 7 or 10

    everything from the feel to the look, to the small touches like the ui animations, gestures, the touchpad, fullscreening apps, etc

    everything just flows seemlessly
