I suppose people would pick it for the out of box ease of setup.


This is particularly true in my line of work, we have a stack of Avid workstations running on Dell PC's. Even when we buy machine with Avid approved components it's usually hit and miss getting it going in the first place. There's driver versions, hardware configurations, settings to tweak, etc.

The Macs running Final Cut however work right out the box. Unpack the hardware, finalise the OSX install, install FCP, run a Software Update and it's good to go.
