With the apparent phasing-out of the larger model iMac, I'm looking ahead - not immediately, but someday - to what my next machine will be. Currently I'm using one of the last Intel 5K iMacs, with 3.8GHz 8-core i7 processor and 40GB of memory. I'll occasionally rip a DVD to add to my digital collection but I don't really do anything like audio or video editing, 3D rendering or AR/VR, or code compiling.įor my professional life I've always tried to maintain a high-end "prosumer" Mac desktop for my work … starting with the G3 and G4 mini-towers they used to make, then transitioning to the larger more powerful iMacs as Mac Pros became expensive and overpowered. Almost everything else is pretty lightweight - Numbers and Pages, Ulysses, Bear, etc. As such most of the heavy-duty professional apps I use from day to day are Photoshop (sigh), Affinity Designer, Photo, Publisher, and Sparkle. I'm a graphic artist, designer, cartoonist, illustrator, etc, kind of jack-of-all-trades. So I thought I might ask here, where there there are probably more folks in a line of work more similar to mine!
Hey folks! I've been pondering something for awhile now … I've been talking to some tech-educated friends about it, but none of them have been in the same line of work as me, so they're hesitant to make a solid opinion.
