But, when it comes to actually creating, managing and working with media, we still need the strongest most powerful machines.
The Post Apple era in Post

 Apple didn’t have a booth at the 2012 NAB show, and no one expected them to. Even though no one was surprised they weren’t there a lot of folks commented that they thought it would’ve been more appropriate than ever given that Apple now has a shipping version of Final Cut Pro X.
