There’s a lot of people who hate to admit Apple has made the gains they have. Heck, ive hated Apple computers for years myself. Too expensive, lack of upgradability, closed eco system, etc. There’s plenty of reasons to dislike their practices. They’ve finally made a suitable product for a bigger...
I know the site is coding/gaming/performance centric but an area I haven’t seen mentioned here is the music industry. From the performance bench’s and the few reviews of Logic these new Macs are a game changer for many. Running 200 tracks of audio with effects and no crashes or fan/heat issues...

I am also looking for some answers regarding home security cams but I have no internet access at the location (my lake house). I have pretty much ruled out the big box store systems after buying a Swann for my main home. It does ok but I need good quality recordings as my lake house footage will...
HOME RUN! The recommended components are cruising through renders and handling large graphic files with ease. Blows away my old Core2 Duo that this box had been running for 5 years.
Thanks again mfenn!
mfenn, thanks for your feeback. I believe you actually recommended my last build which was in the fall of 2012 for an audio workstation which is still performing beautifully so thank you very much for that.
