All I would be looking for is bare functionality, not gaming performance. I see these Mac Pro 1,1 machines on craigslist for $100-$150 from...

    Is the base model good enough?

    I am tempted selling my late '15 27'' 2TB Fusion m395 iMac seeing how great of an update the 2017 iMacs are with the improved cpu and gpu speeds. My main concern is that I can't spend money for the mid 575 model, so if I would buy, it would be the base model and this time I would go pure SSD the...

    Why so excited about eGPU when performance drop on TB3 may be over 30%

    Over the week on this forum I noticed couple times people saying that for some there's no need to get the iMac with best GPU, that better get the lowest and in the future, if needed, get external Thunderbolt 3 GPU.
