A/V software is integrated more effectively on an Apple but outside of that it is just expense for no reason.  Their clever uber huge educational system discount has paid monster dividends obviously

This drives a SHIT TON of Colleges to use them in their arts department. Add in the retina display, and you have a gold mine. They got me in due to that and some other perks.

 

Considering it's soley for photography, and the old one is for other shit......it should last a good bit.

 

Adobe has done the same with their creative cloud gimmick.

The retina display is antique compared to other options.  The gold mine is ALL marketing.  The Adobe, Microsoft Cloud software stuff is complete bullshit.

I'll be fine with my desktop... upgrades every couple years and I'm still ahead. Due for a real upgrade maybe later this year.. big maybe

For other options on a laptop? What have you seen in a 15-17 inch laptop that has a better display? Not being an ass, but I must have missed it.

Decided I would post my photography album to here

For those who have already seen it, I added some new pictures. Trying to keep things off center

Ahhh.... Wat?

Everything lol.  Retina is a marketing term for something that was designed 5 years ago...

the bacon was very important to me.lol

[///M5 2,833]

Isn't it always!

[MKader17 332]

So question on the bacon.

How much foreground bokeh (not sure if that's the correct term) is okay.

I love taking pictures of food, they seem to be bland and usually lacking color, when it's not the food lacking color. The cupcakes to me look awesome and the foreground bokeh is cool

[///M5 2,833]

Depends on the composition 

Personally for those I would have much more rear 2/3+

[///M5 2,833]

Whatever you want the eye to focus on should be in focus the rest not

[dem beats 1,223]

Foreground bokeh has a really fine ballance.

Pics or STFU.

 

THIS IS PHOTO PAGE/SPARTA!!!

[dem beats 1,223]

Love that cooktop!

[MKader17 332]

Composition of the photo is a bit odd. It's very reminiscent of a quick cell phone pic. Maybe a better explanation of the subjects intended destination after the photo would help.

[///M5 2,833]

Thought I was in the hop

 ...posted nonsense and explained tit with a cell phone pic
