    Adobe definitely doesn’t run smoother on OSX 10.9 than Windows right now. The bug/problem threads alone in the forums is enough to show that.

    That’s unfortunate.

    I do still like the Unix underpinnings of OS X but I absolutely hate all of the new consumer facing features. The App store, for example. It’s the iOS-ification of the OS that bothers me.

    All part of the slow but inevitable march toward a tablet-centric world, my friend.

    Unfortunately the more that becomes the case the less performance available for the media content creation market with the standard OEM/s platforms. This is at the same time Codecs, applications, and GPU acceleration is pushing the required system specs far higher than they ever were. This is going to collide very soon with market expectations and deadlines. That is why the PC is vastly becoming the option and that will only increase as this becomes the case. As Windows progress’s the same path then Linux will have to adapt to the new market as will the Product companies.

    OK, here is what I’ve been approved for. PLEASE tell me this will significantly improve my performance and reduce render times relative to my MacBook Pro……

    3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
    8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2X4GB [ *** will upgrade after delivery *** ]
    1TB Flash Storage
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5

    [Ryan Hannebaum] “8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2X4GB”

    You want more RAM. Sticking with this minimum configuration will hamstring this machine for Ae. In my opinion, to the point where it wouldn’t be worth buying.

    16GB would be better, but maxing the machine out at 32 GB would be better still.

    [Walter Soyka] “You want more RAM.”

    Sorry, forgot to mention that I will be upgrading the RAM after purchasing the machine (company can get RAM cheaper elsewhere than Apple!).

    So assuming I upgrade the RAM significantly, you approve of the configuration?
