What about the Mac???

Ok, so a new rumor says the old rumor was just a rumor. Maybe it's time we start taking all of these with a few grains of salt.

I'm willing to pay a little bit more for an apple and was waiting for Apple to introduce an iMac with the latest i7 and screen update. I got disappointed and angry when they did. Soldered ram, a hard drive from the nineties and above premium price.

Funny, but my iMac 5k has an i7, no hard drive (SSD), and does not use soldered RAM (in fact, I bought the 32GB modules off Amazon and popped them in the same day I got the iMac). You seem to be seriously lacking in facts, so it's pretty easy to dismiss your opinions.

I also have a 2015 MacBook and have absolutely not been impacted with the single USB-C port. I love that laptop. Is it the right laptop for everyone? Nope. But I bet 90% of the laptop using public would do great with it.

Wow looks like your single-person target group is unanimously positive, focher. Try popping your 32GB modules into a 21,5" iMac and see what happens.

(Not) sorry (at all) to burst your bubble, but our dutch friend is spot on. The iMac is a cool screen with parity laptop components, and the Macbook is a glamorous facebook machine that stretches the physical boundaries of device thinness. Both underpowered and un-upgradeable. Macs were beasts until just recently. They were mostly used for graphics and video editing for a reason. Nowadays, however, Apple seems to be falling into the trap that design is only about aesthetics -and rose gold. 

And yes, sog35, hjmnl is obviously a (disgruntled) Apple fan and so am I. Dissenting views must be causing serious beachballs inside your one track mind. 

Good news. Sounds exactly like what I've been expecting for replacing my 2011 27" iMac. To address a previous commenter, my Radeon indeed malfunctioned -my local Apple Store then replaced it (for free) even after my Applecare had expired. No work and barely any time lost. I'm hoping Apple will also provide more affordable SSD storage and DDR4 RAM compatibility. Can't wait for September. Wishful thinking: a space grey iMac  

So, now DisplayMate is a reliable source, but when it quoted the Galaxy S7 Edge's display as the "Best Performing Smartphone Display that we have ever tested" people on AI were calling it crap-talking and bought-out by Samsung. ;-)

Anyhow, I'd love me a small iPad Pro as my first iPad. I tried the pencil several times on a friend's device and it does work like a charm. Yet I cannot justify the additional expense as something I could actually use for work other than content consumption and the occasional sketch. Perhaps if it ran OS X instead...
