to clarify, I work in film and tv, so the power of the machine would be used from day one, in terms of me having to view/edit/export, I could do that with a base model, but I'm currently shooting 4k footage, even though I'm producing 1080 final videos, so the extra horsepower (futureproofing) would mean I'd actually be able to view/edit/render/export any 4k work that comes my way.
Yeah, I'm not saying nobody has any use for a high spec machine.
But I asked Corny
'What do you do that needs that sort of spec - or is it just trying to future proof?'
And he said it was mainly future proofing. So I inferred he didn't need the spec today.
For those that need a high spec now then sure.
