    Never mind flaky internet, what about people that do events?

    Things like PowerPoint presentation machines, VJ systems, video servers (for massive multiscreen playback).
    You can’t go into a field for a festival and expect reliable internet.
    You can’t go into a theatre and expect reliable internet, especially when 3k+ people turn up.
    There are a few systems that run OSX, but Apple’s hardware doesn’t give you as much control as something like an Nvidia Quadro with sync cards. 99% of the big shows will be ran from Windows OS

      Apple can barely figure out how to get a picture out of their own hardware. Monitor support is surprisingly an afterthought in a graphical operating system often used by artists. I shouldn’t need to download scripts from GitHub to change my RGB monitor to run in RGB mode. With such an expensive computer, I should be able to connect multiple monitors at the same time like I can on much cheaper computers.
