It's painful, but the iMac i7 actually has a higher Geekbench score than the base-model MacPro. I know it does not tell the whole story (especially for music applications), but it's clear where Apple spends the money. iMac (27-inch Mid 2010…

I like the idea of the MacMini, but it's a raw deal compared to an entry-level iMac. Spec the base-model (2.4GHz C2D) up to 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD and it's $899 Add a (non-wireless) keyboard and mouse and it's $997 the base-model iMac (3.0…

Could you be more specific?

The MacPro may not be all that expensive considering its parts and the build quality, but the single-CPU base model does need to come down in price. I think $1999 is not too much of a stretch. I'd agree that the MacPro seems on its way out. It's …

Never mind. Found it.

Thanks for your informative reply, Marvin. For our side of the industry, the hardware is not really the problem nowadays. It is the multi-GB sample libraries that clog up all the memory. If you have a couple of instruments loaded of -say- 3GB eac…
