Divine Linker It also depends on the boiling point and the container. 1) If they manage to go up in altitude water starts boiling at significantly lower temperatures 2) While water may stay at it it’s boiling point in liquid form (it does heat up more than 100, but at that point its just not liquid) the cointainer it’s in can go up and many times does go up in temperature much more than the water itself...

[@conorcurley6798]

Do your research mate: 1) You can upgrade to a 256GB SSD for a fairly decent price given the quality of Apple's SSDs, even on the lowest 2019 model. The price of the upgrade includes a great SSD, stellar customer support and snappy returns, something you don't get (from my own personal experience) when custom building a PC (individual part returns will cost you your entire system for the duration of the part's absence, which for me, at least when I had parts replaced, took upwards of 2-3 weeks). 2) Even though an 5400rpm hard drive isn't great by today's standards, MacOSs OS-level method of grabbing files still makes the experience tolerable, unlike on Windows, where anything less than an SSD is completely unbearable. Linux is still a great option for snappy file retrieval on the PC side of things, however. 3) A 2.5" HDD isn't a laptop HDD. That's just pure misinformation. Smaller HDDs are favoured in builds that don't have a lot of space. They are frequently used in mATX and MiniPC builds. Since there are space limitations due to the width of the iMac, a 2.5" HDD is a better option.

"If you want that hardware, Macs are generally not that expensive" and the resale value is insane compared to Windows/PC which makes em even cheaper long term.

[@Thornskade]

It's the other way around. They're not upgradable, so with a PC you only need to resell individual hardware, presumably CPU and GPU at most, which still net you decent prices as well.

[@jordansarkisian]

@@Thornskade I usually resell my MacBook Pros for 50-80% of what I paid, depending on how long I keep it. With refurbs (basically new MBPs for a few hundred bucks off) I end up getting a whole new MBP every few years for only a few hundred bucks. I like this, great when you do work that uses a lot of resources across the board. For me upgrading parts at a time is no good, I need new everything and this makes it easy.

[@Thornskade]

@@jordansarkisian You don't need new everything, but keep teelling yourself that if you want. Not sure where you're finding the idiots buying used computers for 80% but that's kinda sad. The other side of the coin, of course, is the fact that you can buy used computer parts for much cheaper, so if you're going through the process of selling your used hardware for 80% with MacBooks you might as well go on a bargain hunt and get a powerful computer for cheap.

[@jordansarkisian]

@@Thornskade I don't want used, and for editing every part of the system can use the boost in hardware usually. What I'm saying is you have your way of doing things and I have mine, and they both work great. But yeah if I do my way with PC or if you do your way with Apple it doesn't work. That's where all the issue and conflict arrises with these debates.

[@Thornskade]

@@jordansarkisian No quite. "I don't want used" is not an argument, and in general what you seem to be getting at with the "our ways don't work with each other" is that you're talking from a purely subjective perspective. Indeed, objectivity is a requirement for debates to work. I didn't say I wouldn't do as you do with a Mac. I've never had one but if people are willing to spend that much money on a used one then sure, I'd sell it for that much.

[@oBCHANo]

@Carson W234 Every major GPU renderer uses CUDA, video editing acceleration often has CUDA, and when it's opencl being used Nvidia has the same performance. If you need GPU acceleration Nvidia is the default, there's no question. It's why everyone in my industry has dumped their Mac. Even 10 years from now something like Metal will be an afterthought as long as Nvidia continues to make CUDA the superior platform.

I love that you take a reasonable view on Macs, they’re really not that expensive, people seem to give no thought to how bloody beautiful they are and just run spec vs spec to $$ like paying for hardware and building something that compact, that looks that good is worth exactly $0. Macs hit a niche, and that niche isn’t gamers, it’s professionals who want top quality performance in fairly specific fields who will pay a slight premium to have their offices look amazing (and Macs really do make offices look amazing) so when clients come they aren’t assaulted by 15 high end fans blasting full speed and each employee’s personal build looking scruffy or out of place. On top of that you get an OS for free for life, so swipe $150 off the price tag vs windows (hi Linux users, I know you’re the best and free, yeah yeah I love you) and you have a relatively decent price for very solid hardware that just doessssnt go wrong. Apple support can suck any wiener, though.
