I’m on tenterhooks too. Got to make a decision on some kit soon – I’d love to pair up my Avid/Adobe/Resolve PC with a Smoke for Mac finishing station, but I’m damned if I’m going to walk away from an 8 core Xeon workstation with 24gb ram and a Quadro to go and finish on an iMac!!
If the mac pro goes the same way as all Apple ‘pro’ gear seems to be going, I would consider a Hackintosh Smoke station.. anyone heard of a good recipe?
