Anim, as someone who has worked in the TV/Film industry I'd like your
serious opinion on something.  Elsewhere I'm involved in a discussion
where we are wondering how Apple can get away with the prices it charges
and is there anything it actually does better than a high-end PC.
Someone suggested video and audio (music) work.

My understanding is that what Apple excels at is marketing and getting
their various products to work well together. So everything just goes
smoothly when you buy a new Apple product while getting a new Android
or other product to work well with Windows can take some finessing.

Also as you brought up Apple has long been known to be good for
video/photoshop and digital audio work. I think Windows has products
that, again, are as good as Apple but they tend to be better
integrated on the Apple platform.

That said that Apple tax is too much for my blood. I can see it if you
need the integration AND can write it off as a business expense.

So my question is what would you use now for video and/or FX work?  And
why please?
