More gasoline on the fire
Yes, there has already been a post about the RED HP workstation, but it wasn’t presented in quite as sensationalist of a manner:
RED Gives up on Apple, Teams up with Adobe, NVIDIA and HP
“While Apple is a powerhouse in eyes of consumers, the company decided to give a silent treatment to its core audience, designers and content creators. The company was legendary in Hollywood – but not anymore.”
Enjoy!

Erstwhile core audience.
The clear takeaway is that the meme of Apple giving the cold shoulder to its pre-post-PC-era devotees has taken hold in the zeitgeist.

Speaking of giving up….
3K for $3k anyone?

I keep hearing about Tekserve selling Windows computers from random places but there’s not even the slightest hint.

Interesting how the word “Windows” is never mentioned.

2.5K for $3K lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.
6K for $6K is the new 3K for $3K for the Scarlet set.

Why? They don’t talk about OS X on the Apple page.
From https://www.tekserve.com/business/Partners/Apple [link]:
“Tekserve’s partnership with Apple began in 1987, as the first repair shop in Manhattan. Today, we stock the largest selection of Apple computer configurations for sale in NYC. Tekserve is the largest Apple Specialist store in the country.”From https://www.tekserve.com/business/Partners/HP [link]:
“Introducing the fastest workstation available for any workflow—preinstalled and preconfigured with all the right hardware, software and custom-configuration restore technology, and offering accelerated post-production processing and lightning-fast real-time 4K visualization wherever it’s needed. It’s the Tekserve Series Workstation, RED Certified and Recommended, and custom-built by Tekserve, featuring components from industry leaders including RED, HP, NVIDIA, Intel, and Tekserve—specially tuned and optimized for Adobe Creative Suite 6, but prepared to shred any software workflow tolls.”When you spend most of your time in your applications, the OS really doesn’t matter that much.

Well that changes everything.
Again…:)
Now I’m saving up for an FX700 – and I had given up on Sony YEARS ago. We’ll all be back eating apples soon enough!
