Even so, there is no doubt that Apple machines are rising in price and are less suitable for some DAW users, especially the minority that need PCI-e slots. The results from this Nugen Audio survey do show that any developer that chooses to remain a Mac only brand is missing out on a growing base of users in the pro-audio sector that are turning to Windows as their platform of choice as we have seen within the team with James Ivey switching from Mac to Windows for his Pro Tools computer.Įven with great computers from Apple, like the Mac mini 2018, as we have shown with articles like Apple Mac mini 2018 Tested For Audio Production Work - Is This The Next Computer You Should Buy For Your Studio? and the MacBook Pro 2018 that even though it came in for some stick for an overheating problem, it still proves to be a good computer for DAW use on the road, as we explored in our article Will Pro Tools Work Well On The New MacBook Pro - We Investigate If The Apple Laptop Will Stay Cool Running The Avid Software. Although it doesn’t match the swing to Windows computers that our 2019 poll showed, these results do show a distinct shift towards Windows when compared to our 2016 poll.
This is interesting especially in the light of our recent poll results on what computer platform people use for Pro Tools.
