Remember that it's 5999 PLUS TAX and Apple Care. With those additions, that computer almost hits 7000. If you upgrade the RAM yourself and the storage (the measly 256 GB) yourself, you're looking at another 500 dollars MORE. And that's BEFORE you…

You know, come to think of it. You could get an iMac Pro, with 64 GB of RAM, a base Xeon, more storage and a Vega 56, stone the base Mac Pro over the head and it STILL COMES WITH A 5K LG MONITOR BUILT IN. How nuts is that? Sure it doesn't come wi…

My regret is that instead of sinking so much money into their obviously failed Apple TV initiative, they didn't sink cash into buying a couple of high-end aggressive iOS developers that can also be leveraged on Apple TV and Mac through Catalyst. Bi…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: For a company that prides itself on elegant designs, an "eGPU" is the least elegant design in the entire computer industry. Of course it is going to break if the system software is updated or the wind changes directi…

Egpus are actually a great solution for the average user, if albeit an expensive one. You get the perfect portability of a slim laptop or small desktop, coupled with the grunt/horsepower of a desktop computer. The fact that Apple's run into an egp…

There is a second myth that AMD is doing terribly in performance. Some important tidbits. A. Depending on the metric or tool, Nvidia may drastically outperform AMD. However, you could just as easily select a tool like Luxmark where an AMD Radeon 7…

That doesn't refute anything I said. Literally. The Vega 48 is still a problem.

Dave Kap said: For no good reason? How do you determine what is a good reason? This article is a hatchet-job on Apple for no good reason. Apple is waiting because iMacs don't use mobility CPUs and they're between cycle right now. It make…

If you had told me that the Vega 20 was a 4-5 TF part that traded successfully with a GTX 970 or RX 470/570...I'd be impressed. After all, that 4.5-5 TF barrier is what you need to truly break for 4K or VR content creation. And if this is a pro-la…
