• I have a prepress artworker joining the team who needs a new computer before the end of the month. Illustrator + Photoshop work preparing packaging artwork for press. We currently have a mix of Mac Pro Dustbins/Dell workstations and Eizo CG self-calibrating monitors.

    What’s the smart apple purchase?

    1. New Old Stock MacPro – 3ghz 8 core xeon + 16GB + 2x D700 6GB + Eizo CG2730 - £4000
    2. iMac Pro - 8core 3.5Ghz, 32GB, 8GB Vega 56 - £4160 refurb
    3. iMac 27" - 3.4ghz 8core i9, 32GB Ram, 8GB Vega 48 - £3644

    We're kitting out a new studio as well so if there's a sensible way to save costs, whilst avoiding Dell, I'm all ears.

  • Fully specced Mac mini? When I compared specs a few months ago that felt like heaps more for the monies compared to anything else. Could even add an external graphics card if that speeds up PS? I'm pushing around 1gb+ psd's with zero lag though so not sure it's needed

  • Mac Mini, pimped out
    NEC Spectraview rather than Eizo
    this is the setup of the wise
