Exactly. They'll probably update the iMac later this year with Ivy Bridge so the geekbench marks will get closer to the MacPro's.

The new macbook pro's are tasty looking, but don't look upgradeable. Can't upgrade the ram/hd's - get what you're given basically which means if one component fails, then you're screwed.

What a load of fucking bullshit. So you're tied into buying Apples crazy price RAM or upgrading your machine every couple of years.

They really are trying to kill off the Pro range completely by the looks of it.

I bet the next iMacs will have soldered RAM as well.

yep, shit scam with the soldered components. We'll see... They look hot though. Boss was telling me I needed to get rid of my stupid not-mac because it can't do anything good according to him. Ignorance is bliss. He said we would talk about it later. Only debatable if I can get him to pay for it. Otherwise i'm not interested up until the moment I don't know what else to spend my money on.

The screen resolution on the MBP is huge and apps need to be updated otherwise you'll get 2x blocks.. I guess they'll update Logic Pro to 9.1.8 soon then.

Geekbench marks are stonking. Put's my hackintosh to shame.

Eh, I don't really want screens to get more HD. Can hardly see anything already due to how tiny everything is at current resolutions. Have you ever looked at Kontakt's edit screens?

Agreed tbh

Unless you're working on a screen that's 26" or bigger, 1080p resolution is more than enough.
