Ok help with new computer purchase since new MP is out
Hey gents, I have been wanting to upgrade from my pro cheese grater 3.33 6 core for awhile but held off for the new Mac Pro. Now that they've been announced, I don’t know if it’s for me. Seems a bit high priced just for an 8 core and not needing all the slots etc.
So that leaves me with: Mac mini i7 (will this be big performance boost from what I have) IMAC 8 core i9 (would like to use bigger screen ugh) Hackintosh (seems like better specs for money but have no experience with one and don’t want to have a lot of problems) Opinions? Especially if you have used some of these machines or just recently went threw same dilemma. Will be running HD native and pro tools ultimate. |

Don’t go hackintosh except if you love tinkering or know a close friend who can help you out.
That’s my advice (I love to tinker and have made several hackintoshes) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Ok so Hackintosh is out so......
iMac vs Mac mini? If iMac, which is best? I see not to go fusion drive but looks like a lot i9 8 cores come installed with one. |

If you only plan to use the box until the new cheesegraters are out, why not configure a nice new mac mini which you could sell in mint condition later this year?

You can custom order with an ssd - you're not stuck with a Fusion drive.
