Why I DIDN'T Switch To Mac From PC

A lot of people are switching to mac for the mac m4 mini. I was debating it, but after watching reviews from real people that I trust, it doesn't perform well under heavy GPU effect loads. And Windows PC vs Mac OS would be the end of me.

What's really important is that no matter how good the outcome is, you remain underwhelmed with the result - this is the essence of channel.

Here's a tip: do not, I repeat DO NOT reuse any actual cables from the old power supply. (even if they look the same). Remove all cables and the old PSU, install the new one with the cables that come with it. If you mismatch cables from two differents PSUs you will kill your PC.

I optimized Davinci for my graphics card and now I get over 90% utilization of my GPU.

I discovered this channel back in 2020 and have been watching it on and off since. Been a couple years since I checked in, and I'm happy to see the channel still rocks. The haters don't understand what the channel is about.
I found this channel when I thought it would be a great idea to buy a camera and get into head shots. The Sony A7C and G-Master 35mm lens sits on my bookshelf collecting dust...Still, a fun hobby to get into.

Stick with what works for you mate. Upgradability, cost and widely supported standards are why I'm still in the PC camp. People have different use cases though, so I understand that my choices aren't for everyone.

We need an update video review of the new GPU and improvements over the old one. Loving your computer related content!

[HoundDogMech]

You're Right. Learning something New especially at 81 is a real PITA. My old ASUS Laptop was Running at over 95C on both the CPU & GPU. No Idea what the M4's temps are but the fan doesn't even kick in.

Happy new year thank you for making this year, entertaining and informational, I always look forward to you wearing your wigs. It really makes my day but on a serious note the information you provide in second to none, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2025

If you can't sell a kidney to plug a new 5090 into it - it ain't a computer.

Whoa!! that`s almost my same specs and still going strong since 2020, .... LInux and Windows (on separate disks obviiously)... i have a mac mini, only as a backup when Main workstation goes to maintanance... Nice video!!

I tried to make the switch to and went to Mac mini m4 base. Adding voice isolation and magic mask to DVR studio slows it down massively. Sent it back, went for the m4 pro - same problem. Asked some people to test my footage on their maxed out m3 maxs and my Rtx 4070ti super was still outperforming in processes like face refinement and magic mask, however rendering had caught up. It was good enough to make the switch but then the price to performance ratio just isn’t there. So back with windows because, essentially, I’m too poor to have what I actually want.

Hey Kasey long time fellow torontonian lurker here, appreciate your videos and approach to life! As one that just did a similar upgrade have to mention a few things that are worth considering.
1. your Motherboard BIOS upgrade - DO it
2. the PCIe setting that you should have on Resizable BAR. Try to enable it, could possibly improve speed
3. RAM - make sure you use an XMP profile to bump speed to 3200/3600 whatever your ram can do
4. Windows 11 2H updates had some optimization for our "old" CPUs you might want to be up to date on that
5. Your case ventilation will affect the performance of all crammed parts in there, temps will force them to throttle back. Slightly positive or negative pressure is what you want.
And enjoy! Keep up the great work😊

After 40 years of PC, 6 months ago I got a macbook pro and... I haven't turned on my PCs once since then. It's very cosy in macworld. More expensive though.

I just switched from Windows to Mac. It didn't take longer than a few days to get used to MacOS and the new keyboard commands. My new Mac MiniM4Pro ("biggest cpu", 48 GB of RAM and 2 TB SSD) is three times as fast as my previous high end Windows PC from 2019 used to be and it's completely silent.

[RockWILK]

I was in a similar place, PC forever, mainly because I could upgrade it whenever I wanted to, but then when I had to upgrade my GPU, the video card was more expensive than buying a brand new Mac M2, so I finally made the switch, and I have to say, It’s been a great move. I’m somebody who definitely always advises people to stick with what they have, but when the upgrades begin to be more expensive than moving to a computer that has been proven to just work, it just finally had me make the move. But I totally understand why you would want to stay with a PC because of all the muscle memory, and the usability of windows. But for me personally, Once I switch to the Mac, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It has been flawless for all of my professional work. Took me about two weeks to get my muscle memory together, and it was smooth sailing from there. Having said that, I still think a PC is an awesome way to go, Purely for the flexibility. No longer is a PC more powerful than a Mac though. That’s an old way of thinking. I look forward to seeing what video card you get, because as you get faster ones, more powerful ones, they become extremely expensive. And Reason? I bet if you had a few days with Logic pro you would make the switch because your music making world would expand immediately. :-) I’m just saying.

[PhilKnall]

The muscle memory pain is real. Also file management is frustrating in macOS. Explorer is so much better than finder.

[NokiaPad_inc.]

Im using both mac and windows, honestly, not a big difference in usability, the right clic is still there, alt is just replaced by option, and you can still do all the control-c, x, a, ect with command. And they added window snapping in the latest update.

[Sarsour_]

It definitely comes down to a per case situation and preference. The solution you chose was the path of least resistance and you prioritized efficiency to produce content over the technicalities. Congratz on the upgrades!

[ArchStanton]

Looking forward to video card, power supply upgrade video/ tutorial 😅
