[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]So the hard work was done by an external device, the hardware is basically an Intel based ultrabook, regardless of the manufacturer the only thing that makes it Mac is the OS, and that was replaced with Windows 7Well done, nice job[/citation]
[citation][nom]V8VENOM[/nom]Oh boy, the babbling Tom's "PC experts" come thundering in with "why", "what's the point", "why Mac", etc. etc.Talk about a ton of BAD information.1. Yes humans can distinguish higher resolutions, if they couldn't then we would not have 30" LCDs that do 2560 x 1600 or digital still cameras that can do 46 MegaPixels ... PPI and distance to object/image determines human ability to distinguish ... 300 PPI (Pixels per inch at a view distances of about 1-2 feet) is about the max most humans can do. So the 1080p has no meaning in the context presented.2. PC or Mac, you need a $5000 Red Rocket card to even think about working with 4K video, neither Mac or PC alone is powerful enough. However NO Thunderbolt port on a PC yet soooo, Mac it is.3. The actual resolution of the Red One camera is 5120 x 2700 and runs 12-bit RAW4. You need extremely fast throughput for editing 4K video, the fastest SSDs or better5. 4K file sizes are mind boggling large, especially when not compress.6. $25,000 digital camera is actually pretty cheap --- for any major TV or Movie production, those folks typically run cameras in the $300,000 range so a Red One is a relative bargain7. A 4K image produces better 1080p, the higher the quality source the better the compressed final output size -- you ALWAYS want the highest possible quality source image.8. Red One is NOT NEW, has been around since 2005 and sold in mass starting 2007.9. If you think 1080p is the final destination of quality, think again, technology and delivery continue forward10. Red One was used in Red Dwarf's "Back to Earth" 2009, the resolution was so high they were able to edit out undesirable framing without a loss in quailty11. Yes the Mac OSX drivers for Red One are 100X faster and more stable than Windows 7 64bit drivers, hence why a Mac is used12. How many PC's have "Thunderbolt"?? None, nada, zip ... maybe PC's will get it in April 2012.I know it's probably painful for you PC fanboys to accept that a Mac does something better than a PC, but that's the reality, get over it.[/citation]
You should check up the definition of a PC before pretending like there different things, next you need to look around you and think what do you use TB for, if you don't have anything on hand to use it for its wasted space.
Next you will have to look at whats around the corner, its already announced that PC's will get TB in 2012, so that entire Fan Boy line just makes you look more out of place, since its obvious you did not do your research, and you did not notice the term Beta Drivers. Only an idiot would assume that MS or anyone would develop drivers for an OS that wasn't even going to get its port.
now hers the thing that mac lovers might find frighting, Thunderbolt was Intel's pet project, Mac brought it to market, so saying Mac has thunderbolt in the manner you describe is a throwback to how other mac lovers claimed Apple invented the mouse, designed the IPod, or built OSX. (All of which was the work of other design companies that Apple happily took credit for)
The tester even noted how neutral he was on what hardware he uses, that tells me that each OS has its uses. If you want to talk high and mighty, fine, ill still laugh at people that think that a Mac isn't a hyped up overpriced peace of hardware.
