Apple has “great” new iMacs in the pipeline, slated for release “this year”, including configurations specifically targeted at large segments of the pro market.
This just fills me with dread. It just seems like Apple continually doesn't get it and the "iMac is a pro computer" is the canary in the coal mine. We already switched to Adobe for all video editing after the Final Cut Pro fiasco, and if this crud keeps up I can see some serious pressure to just move to Windows boxes. I'll hate it, but I'll understand.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y ago> large segments of the pro market Lots of different types of 'pro' user; there was mention in the post of xcode developers being either the largest market, or the largest growing one. As a developer who currently uses a 2014 MBP (mainly docked), I am very, very likely to be in the market for either a new iMac later this year, or a Mac Pro next year. I'm glad Apple is, finally, looking to address this issue.
- protomyth 10y agoI can see the MBP (only portability option, I use one myself) or the Mac Pro, but the iMac has turned into such an unexpandable machine, it troubles me that anything Pro is associated with it. It serves too many masters at this point. I hope the new Mac Pro is good.
