I love Macs and I love desktop computers (I'm old). I have a maxed-out 2013-era iMac. I'll piss away money on the stupidest things, but this is just insane. I can't possibly wrap my head around spending that much money for an all-in-one computer in 2017. It's like Apple wants to pretend it's still 2012.
- FBISurveillance 9y agoI've recently spotted new Dell/HP with 4k displays and small bezels and those look great and have 32Gb of RAM. My top-of-the-line MacBook Pro '17 screen is noticeably worse and it has only 16Gb of RAM. I know that there's no LPDDR4 support yet -but- that's developer machine. With Docker, Terminal, cmake and all those things it barely lives for 2 hours on battery anyways, so I might as well just have a more powerful portable machine. But the best thing is definitely the 4K screen on those HP/Dells: With the default scaled resolution that Apple introduced last year things look pixelated, while on 4K they don't. For a person who spends 12+ hours a day in front of laptop screen that's huge. Maybe colors are not that saturated but I don't care if my VSCode theme displays 1 billion colors more. Neither iMac Pro nor MacBooks are developer machines anymore. Creative professionals -- yes, but not developers.
