Re: Apple Expanding into the Workplace?
that require the superior Mac image processing abilities
I have been hearing for years that Mac has better graphics processing capabilities.
What does that mean? In what way is Mac better?
I make my living as an insect imaging specialist at a state agency. Our whole agency uses Macs. I have a Mac laptop that I keep in a desk drawer and get out once a month to fill out my time sheet.
I have 3 imaging systems, an SEM, a camera on a Leica MZ-16 stereomicroscope, and a Visionary Digital Imaging System with a Canon 7D hooked to an Infinity Optics long distance microscope. All 3 of these systems came with PC based graphics processing computers. Macs were not available. None of the digital imaging systems (imaging hardware hooked directly to a computer) that I have worked with have been available with Macs. None of the systems I have looked at have been available with Macs.
I just finished building a new personal image processing computer for my self....i7 990x, 24Gb ram, pny Quadro 4000 graphics card. What could a Mac do better than this system?
