There are a couple of instances in which I “need” True PC power.
One is games. Surviving Mars looks amazing, but I don’t have the power to run it at a steady 60 fps. maybe bootcamp will work better. Granted, I am using a 2880p monitor. Perhaps I should have chosen an architecture with an upgradeable GPU.
One is Photos-- I can use Affinity Photos to tweak my photos better than with Aperture. BUt it’s slow.
One is OCR-- Finereader will chew on a document for hour and hours.
Browsing the web? That just needs a reasonably high resolution screen and fast connection.
Video? Well, I’m a consumer, not a producer. The solution to my woes apparently requires DRM hell, not a fast CPU.
Word Processing, email, spreadsheets. Yea, a nice big screen is nice, but they don’t really need CPU. What they need is a screen and a keyboard.
