OK so I know the usual argument that says "get the most powerful that you can afford", "Get a MAC they are the best". "No get a PC, much better" and so on, heard it all before. I'm looking for some real user experience rather than advice.
I run Capture on two PCs a laptop and a desktop, both run Capture very well and I've no complaints at all. However, my day-to-day machine is a MAC, an old MAC that can't run Capture without becoming a BBQ grill and then stopping!
What I want to do is consolidate everything into 1 laptop, preferably a MAC. I understand the difference between M1s and Intel etc.
So there is a couple of questions really and, I'm asking those who use a MAC for Capture.
M1 or Intel? I have my eye on an M1 10 core/16 core GPU, but I've also seen i7s and i9s. I'd like a MAC but can it handle Capture 2022?
or...
Stick with a PC? Both my PCs have Nvidia cards, the desktop is quite old now but it still works, very fast, and very fluid. No problem.
Is there anyone out there using a MAC laptop with Capture 2022? What do you think? Can the MAC M1 deal with it or is an Intel better. Again the age of the machine is not really the issue, my PCs are quite old now. No, I can't wait for the M2, too expensive, I have a budget.
Grateful to hear from anyone using a MAC for their honest user experience and input. I'd like to try and avoid a "what is the best platform" debate as that won't help...
All the very best to you all, hope you are all enjoying the weather and taking care.
