Mac vs Windows recent experiences

[Kayaker72]

Kayaker, when you buy your new 5D IV or 5Ds R you will regret getting a surface pro with just 256gb.

That is the debate. I read a couple of reviews of people with D810s that were happy with the 256 GB. Maybe I'll jump to the 500 GB. But I do travel with a 2 TB hardrive. Also, this is not meant to be my main processing machine. That is my desktop at home. I will likely be upgrading my monitor at some point to that as well.

I want something for travel. My company is security conscience and I have to work through an IT admin to install software on my company laptop. I just heard back from them and they'll install Lightroom for me, but no updates. Plus that machine is i5/128 GB/4 GB/32 bit. I am thinking that might get frustrating for photo processing.


Overall, I think the lack of debate is because both windows and apple are working well. Perhaps, as is mentioned above, the issues are no longer Windows vs Mac, but rather specific machines.

I didn't need the extra hard drive on the last trip, but with 9 days of shooting ,with the 5Ds R for five days and the 1D IV for 4, of 512gb I had 50gb of space left when I got home. For the last few years I have been traveling with the external, but it is nice to have all the pictures on one machine so you can easily edit while sitting at the airport, on the plane or wherever. You can do it with the external to, but IMO it makes it just a bit more cumbersome.
