My son is an Apple guy and told me about this new machine several months ago. I went to the Apple site and read all the propaganda about it....man, that thing is amazing, but waaaaaay overkill for little old me.
I’m currently running a 2010 27” iMac with 2.93 Ghz and i7 Core, 2TB HD with 32gb of RAM shoved in it. It does everything I need it to do and runs the latest iOS as well. It’s still a very sweet machine even as old as it is.
It’s kinda funny because the original HD went out a few years back and I replaced it. The problem was that the replacement drive didn’t have the thermal sensor available at that time, so the thing roared in panic mode like a WWI fighter plane taking off once it warmed up. Couldn’t stand that roaring so it just sat collecting dust for quite a long while. I almost sold it for next to nothing just to get rid of it. Then, I discovered an aftermarket thermal sensor just for that kind of application and installed it. Yippie! It worked like a charm, and the old 2010 iMac was destined to become my main machine after several iOS upgrades to the latest, and I’m still using it to this day. Even now.
I know I’ll need to eventually replace it, but it won’t be with this new high $$$ Pro model. I’m gonna wait at least till next year before I start looking to do so.
Keep an eye on the Apple refurb store.
