RE: My Thoughts on the New Apple iMac Pro

in #apple8 years ago

I don't have that much experience with mac computers but here are my concerns...
As you said over heating, looking at the design and the hardware I find it hard to believe this wont be an issue.
The price, I understand this is geared towards professional users but if you are able to spend $5-16k chances are you already have one or more 5k displays already, so now you are adding another one.(I think they are going to update the MacPro,so there is that) I am more excited about a MacPro that allows for upgrade.
I am spending a lot of time looking at computers these days because mine is really starting to show it's age...so I appreciate your thoughts. Nice post!

Yes I think we are in agreement! I would love a real Mac Pro but who knows how long that will be.

How are the wireless adapters on the iMacs? I know some apple products dont have the best wifi antennas?

Great question - I have had really good results and connectivity with all my Mac/Apple products. They don't always have the latest standards but they do make it easy to connect and they seem to use quality components. I think the last problems were some time back and related to the telephone antenna for the Iphone 4 - since then I haven't really heard of any major issues. Also when you have a larger piece of tech like a desktop pc or a laptop I think it is less of an issue anyway due to the much greater surface area where you can place an antenna.

Gotcha, I have never owned a mac computer myself, i have used iphones, itouch, ipod, ipad etc...I was thinking about getting an aio, the two I like the most are the iMac and asus zen aio. I am not sure I am ready to turn over to apple for my comp yet though :)

I think it depends on the person very much and what you need.

Yeah, I used to do a lot of gaming and programming and intensive stuff. Now I am mostly blogging, editing photos and experimenting with crypto. I think I am going to take a trip to the Microsoft and Apple stores and test some different stuff out. The surface studio looks pretty amazing but that is a few grand as well.

Yes in fact the Microsoft hardware tends to have a price premium too.
