Mac vs PC 2024

Mac vs PC for Content Creation (2024)

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Evan Lagergren

Following our recent M3 Max MacBook testing, we used our benchmark database to get performance data for Mac vs. PC for content creation.

Puget Systems Laptop vs Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max for Content Creation

Puget Mobile 17″ vs M3 Max MacBook Pro 16″ for Content Creation

Posted on March 29, 2024 by Evan Lagergren, Matt Bach and Kelly Shipman

How does the new Puget Mobile 17″ compare to the top-end M3 Max MacBook Pro 16″ in performance for content creation?

After Effects performance: PC Workstation vs Mac Pro (2019)

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Matt Bach

Adobe After Effects can easily bring even the most powerful workstation to its knees, but how does Apple’s new Mac Pro compare to a much more affordable PC workstation?

After Effects CC 2019 CPU Roundup: Intel vs AMD vs Mac

Posted on December 5, 2018 by Matt Bach

Choosing the right hardware for your new After Effects workstation can be overwhelming with hundreds or thousands of different hardware components to choose from. In this article, we are going to be benchmarking – using our newly released Puget Systems After Effects CC Benchmark – a wide range of processors from Intel and AMD including the Intel 9th Gen, Intel X-series, AMD Ryzen 2nd Gen, and AMD Threadripper 2nd Gen CPU lines. In addition, we will be comparing them to a current Mac Pro 12 Core and iMac Pro 14 Core for those that are considering going with a Mac-based workstation rather than a PC.

After Effects CC 2018: iMac Pro & Mac Pro vs PC Workstation

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Matt Bach

After Effects users are often held back by the performance of their workstation, yet a surprising number of users lock themselves into the Mac ecosystem. In this article we will be looking at just how much faster a PC workstation can be in After Effects compared to the iMac Pro and Mac Pro.

After Effects CC 2017 Mac Pro vs PC Performance

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Matt Bach

In this article we will be examining how the top-end Mac Pro (late 2013) compares to one of our After Effects workstations. This system was designed based on our extensive testing of After Effects and represents both a great value (priced at just over half the cost of the Mac Pro) as well as giving excellent performance in After Effects.
