If you ever get a chance to venture out of the Mac galaxy, you will find the HP-Z8 galaxy a lot more interesting!

On a serious note: does anyone know which CAD platform Apple uses to design their products? ie products like Solidworks, Catia, ProE etc? I’d love to hear more about how their most powerful workstation in the world helps them design the next iteration on itself?

Yeah, HP Z4 or Z8 (or the Dell equivalents) seem to be used a lot in the film VFX industry, which at the high-end is mostly Linux...
