No that the technology is on-par, the PC world is still kept behind. PC decide to wait for the bandwidth of USB to catch up to that of Thunderbolt. And that was the reason for not going to Thunderbolt. A usb 1 device will work on any USB 3 port. The PC world just never cared to implement it, simply because of the USB.

It is Intel Technology that is available on every modern Windows PC. One thing to not is, Thunderbolt is not Apple technology. But USB3 changed all that and Apollo was made available for windows. I do understand the reason behind this - Bandwidth. For a long time their Apollo interfaces was only available for Thunderbolt. That only apple can do “music”… One place where is see this is at Universal Audio. You thing that does bother me - Is it feels the same strategy apple used regarding the graphic design, is no creeping in, in the Audio Production World. Simply put - If you use the dedication to build a PC, with decent hardware and compatibility, you will most definitely have a stable computer, stronger and cheaper than a Apple Mac. PC world this is definitely different - You need to know what is going on underneath - Because I decide how you expand, what hardware you add, what features you need. Get on with the work, and stop worrying about the “mechanics”. They took the guess work out for the consumer - Which can be a good thing for a lot of consumers. It is just not good enough, but Apple, because of their testing etc, they matched all the hardware perfectly. In the PC world, Foxconn will never be me first choice motherboard. One thing the do very well is, to match hardware - Foxconn is the company building the Mac (Don’t know if it changed) but last I remembered. Obviously PC caught up quickly but could never convert the Apple fanboys.Īpple is basically running a Unix OS, with OSX GUI on top. There was one small reason for this (in the beginning) and that was that Apple had the ability to Calibrate the monitors, and PC did not - I’m talking years ago. I’ve studied computer systems engineering so I might have an valid opinion - Use it don’t use it.įor years Apple had the marketing strategy that only Apple Mac can do graphic design and video production and PC is bad. Honestly - I’ve been running PC for most of my production life, and also ran a Mac for about 3 years. I’ve seen on a post, that when a user running PC/Windows gets an error, some comments is simply Buy a Mac to fix.
