Over on iMore, I’ve written about my justification for an iMac Pro:
I make stuff for a living. While even one of my old PowerBooks is enough computer to blog with, the podcasts and videos I produce follow Parkinson’s Law: “Work expands to fill the time available.” The same is true for computing. No matter how fast my Mac may be, the applications I use will steal every scrap of power available.
My most intense tasks are multithreaded, and the iMac Pro is uniquely suited to crush all other Macs in this type of work. I look forward to seeing the various pricing options on Thursday.
