Exactly, the editors are all using i7 iMacs w/ external GPUs, as editing in 1/8th resolution isn't problematic. We also shoot in codecs that don't require proxies, etc - so the editing is not the problem - it's having people sitting there waiting on something to export that's the problem - So I'm happy to take a flier on a few hackintoshes that we can have sitting there churning.
I **suspect** those will be running windows by EOY :-D as they'd be the only windows machines in the office and if we run into major issues, I'd much make the CTO learn to support two windows machines than to have an entire office w/ them.
I also... kinda like it. Until I don't... then I really don't like it. We'll see where that line falls in 2020.
Good luck to you, and us
