The machine handles everything I can throw at it, however the graphics are the obvious weak point of my machine. The HD Graphics 3000 are showing their age, and the discrete card in my machine is very weak - I regret not getting the next model up with the 6750M and 1GB video RAM, but nothing I can do now. Even if you can only go up to 8GB (16GB is quite a lot more expensive, but worth it if you intend to keep the machine long term), I think you would see good performance in the likes of FCPX.

Torrent download adobe cc mac. Clearly it won't be a patch on current machines, but the Sandy Bridge architecture has aged pretty well given we're now 5 years on since the model was discontinued.

I also did some basic video editing in iMovie, that also worked pretty well. I ran a VM and it was smooth. So, my experience is that specs might look less but it is a very powerful laptop. Of course, if you have some high duty stuff, you should go for MacBook Pro. So, in my opinion, macBook is worth every penny.

Apple just wrapped up one of the most hardware-focused software conferences ever. Aside from updating existing products like the MacBook with, and announcing the new, Apple decided to use WWDC to please its pro users with new iMac and iMac Pro desktop computers. The won’t ship until December, but the are something pro users can buy today. It's been a while since we've upgraded the iMacs in our offices, and we're currently in the midst of a switch over to 4K video editing. Combine those two factors and you can guess that we spend a lot of time staring at progress bars. So in the short time we had, we wanted to focus on the performance of one of the updated iMacs and see how it handles 4K video editing.

I print letters but not the envelopes.

I set one up at my normal workstation at The Verge just a couple days ago, and have been editing 4K video (and large photo files) since then. And the difference in performance has been instantly evident. Before we dive into that, let’s talk about the hardware.

The new 21.5-inch iMac has a base price of $1,099, but ones with a larger display and more power can cost as much as $5,299. The 27-inch review unit I’ve been testing costs $2,899.

It comes with the Intel Core i7 4.2 GHz chip, 500GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. If I were to buy this machine myself, I’d probably add more RAM since I tend to multitask a lot. The storage space is less important to me, since I like working off external drives. Almost any drive would work for me except the 256GB model. It’s kind of like having a 16GB iPhone. The difference in performance was instantly evident Most importantly for this first look, the graphics card in this iMac is the Radeon Pro 580 (with 8GB VRAM). It is the best graphics card you can get for the 27-inch 5K model.

If you already think you need something better than that, you might as well just wait for the iMac Pro, the Mac Pro (expected sometime next year), or switch to Windows and deal with the transition. For comparison, the iMac I was previously using had 3.2GHz i5 processor with 32GB of RAM and a much, much weaker graphics card: an AMD Radeon R9 M380 with 2GB of VRAM. Aesthetically, the 2017 iMac looks identical to the old one. The back logo is the same size, the power button is in the exact same spot, and so are the fans at the bottom. There's just one external difference: the Thunderbolt 2 ports are replaced with USB-C ports that support Thunderbolt 3. Although I know some people are excited for this transition, I find these ports extremely annoying.

Most of the external hard drives I use are Thunderbolt 2, forcing me once again to live that unavoidable #donglelife. I was really blown away the first time I ever used a 5K screen; the difference was immediately apparent. But I didn’t really get the same impression with this screen.

I’m assuming I’ve gotten used to the resolution at this point. Honestly, I also don’t see a major difference when it comes to its brightness. Yes, the screen pops and has vibrant and accurate colors, but I spend most of my time editing at around 70 percent of brightness anyway. Although I wish the screen was a bit less reflective. That said, editing photos on this computer was a joy. The processing speed and accurate colors also helped, making it a fun experience.

Seeing the changes happen almost instantaneously helped accelerate the editing process, but it also just made me experiment with photos more, which for a creative type does make a difference. It’s worth noting that I haven’t calibrated the monitor and have used the default color space “iMac,” which I’m assuming most of you will use anyway, and you won’t regret it. Currently, I’m editing a Verge video that I can’t disclose just yet. It was shot with a Sony A7S II and a C100 camera. One shoots 4K, while the other captures 1080p.
