Since you asked

About as powerful as the 8 core Mac from 2009.
Also the speed is for the processor of which you have one.

The Mac pro has been awful bang for buck since the 2010 8 core.

The iMac seems to be the only thing worth buying at the moment unless like their laptops, the ram has been soldered on. Not sure if that is the case.

You can add and remove RAM yourself.

for now.

Any how , your computer will last a while. I just think they charge too much for essentially the same thing they were selling 2 years ago. And with thunderbolt and the imac having 2 ports, the imac is technically more expandable than the mac pro. The only issue with imacs for me at least is that i require minimum 2 screens and they must match.

I wish you would of asked this before your purchase so I could tell you how to live your life.

There's a company called Hazro selling the same 27" IPS screen that's used in the iMac for under £400 here.


I know I'm getting one.

It doesn't look anything like the iMac at all. Just uses the exact same screen. They buy it in just like Apple/Dell/Whoever do.

what is the point. If it isn't aesthetically the same, then it doesn't work. The point is that a work space should have a certain chi to it. HAving mismatched screens is just awful. I cannot and will not work on 2 screens that aren't the same. It is beyond ghetto.

That's because you're gayer than a gay thing.

The point is that you get exactly the same screen, so you're not look at differing contrast/colour/brightnesses. Which really does my head in.

And it's 3 x cheaper than the Mac screen. So ner.

Are you one of those people who won't eat any food that's touched any other food on the plate?

Also, do you own any white hoods?

nope

I don't think there is anything particularly obsessional with having 2 screens that match. Perhaps aesthetic consistency is not a concern for someone but this is about as basic as having a couch set where 1 is not the right colour or style.

And since i spend 10+ hours in this environment, how it looks and feels is rather important.

And to answer the lord, it isn't the same screen. It isn't the same dimensions and it is a distraction. The only way it would work would be to have 2 of those and the imac in the centre to offset that inconsistency but since they probablty don't have thunderbolt ports, that isn't a choice.

I honestly find anyone running a studio where you have like 1 screen and then another next to it a different size or colour ridiculous. They are so cheap. It just shows , to me anyways, a lack of care for details. Sure this isn't music related but it is art. And art is about balance. And having 2 monitors that are not the same, that is , not for me.

Like having a car with different wheels. Or wearing 2 different shoes. You would think that is silly. So is having 2 different screens. for me.
