this thing piqued my interest so I checked one out today. Messed around with adobe lightroom on it. Which is my biggest interest regarding it.

I have to admit im pretty blown away by it. It looks great. It works pretty awesome. The functionality built in to the machine, the pen, and the scroll dial is all pretty awesome. I still think the Apple pen is better in terms of feel. But overall really nice job.

Apple really missed the boat boat on making an iMac like this. I would seriously consider getting one of these as a pro/ work machine independent of my usually Apple ecosystem stuff.

 

Agree with all of this:

Yep, a lot of Apple people seriously considering it. I think if it was $1000 cheaper most would. I haven't seen one in person yet, Ill take a ride one day to check it out.

 

If Apple made this my wife would be pissed because I would have ordered it already.

 

I haven't told my wife about the $2499 Pro I have on order....Yet....

 

you can tell that's cheap for a Pro...

 

Maxed out 13 except 512GB

 

Nice.

15 tops out at $4g...so you have your argument.

 

must be nice

 

Thought about the 15, but I think the wife would notice the difference.

 

You're not using the adobe sweet or anything really graphics intensive, so I think you can get away with the 13"

Just another thing to to harp on apple about...call the 13" a pro machine, it can barely handle pro apps. Because they can't use higher end graphics cards because of the size.

(typing this on my old 2009 13" MBP with an Nvidia Graphics Card)

 

 

Well there ya go! The way i read it is, Its not an Apple, its a MS so your wife cant be pissed if you order it
