Also seems that the iPhone packaging helped with the design decision as there is a simple elegance. Apple, expecting you to already know this detail from their presentations and likely the press releases of the new product, has a much more simplified packaging experience.

Most of the PC packaging may have pretty packaging, it also has a large amount of specifications and other details to impart to the perspective purchaser. Figured that to ensure best performance, without committing to a more expensive 16GB model, the one with the 8 core GPU was a good selection. The Model of Apple M1 MacBook Air is the 8 core CPU/ 8 core GPU with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. Time to actually try it out however before I'd commit to the eventual budget damage of a higher-end PC workstation for 4K and 6K workflows without compromise. And for $699 USD? What magic is that and my skepticism was so high and I also had the hurdle of not being an Apple user. It was working timelines including those with Red 8K Raw exports and other workflows that would result in out of GPU memory errors if I'd even attempted it on my own workstation. Fortunately while researching DaVinci Resolve hardware requirements, I began to see a number of new M1 videos showing the use of DaVinci Resolve with a base model M1 Mac mini with 8GB of ram. This arrived at the time that I had started my planning. With kids still in high school and learning to drive, I didn't have a budget I'd prefer for a PC workstation that could extend to 6K if I use anamorphic lenses on the GH5 (couldn't afford both an expensive anamorphic lens and new workstation).ДЇast forward to November 2020 and the release of the Apple M1 silicon. Finally had enough to start looking at putting together a new workstation and the resulting costs.

With the purchase and use of a Panasonic Lumix GH5, V-LogL license and related gear, I'd frequently need to send my footage to friends with newer systems to process. Regrettably I'd sized the VRAM in my graphics card less than I'd need to be able to use for a 4K workflow and beyond.

This resulted in my putting together a fairly powerful PC at the time to edit, what was astounding at the time, 1080P workflow. With a significant number of production feature length films created by DaVinci Resolve along with sales of special control surfaces for the environment, it was beneficial to provide a free version to wet the appetite of the newly introduced video enthusiast. Purchase of their cameras would come with a studio activation key. As BlackMagic is a hardware vendor of mid range to high range videography hardware, DaVinci Resolve was released with both a free version as well as the paid studio version. Besides a formal job as a network engineer for several world wide organizations, I had a strong hobbyist passion for photography and eventually videography.ДЇortunately there's a very good non-linear video editing solution from BlackMagic called DaVinci Resolve.

I could go into great detail on all the changes that have occurred since then, but outside supporting company Apple users on the network environments over the years, I'd largely continue my primary focus for the desktop realm on the PC. I remember the 1985 Apple vs Microsoft lawsuit related to the Apples significant anger over Windows. I've worked in the PC industry from the early 80's.
