Hi from the UK,
I have been reading these threads on this forum for the last few days, positive and negative reviews.
I have ordered the
iMac-retina
4ghz 32gb ram 1tb ssd for the main hardware with the 295x graphics card as an upgrade.
Due date 11th December
My perspective is simple, times are changing bandwidth is more fully available and this device enables me to create hi-res content for a market which is now growing. This is an emerging market.
I have 4k requirements on video and hi-res imagery which also combined with drones for my shoots creates a demanding environment for content.
As this product develops so will the software drivers and associated OS X updates.
If it dies and goes wrong it can go back to Apple under AppleCare.
Just moving into an area I have also seen on here surrounding gaming and as such, I was wondering about the internals of this device not that I will do this but it just occurs that;
This is my first purchase into the iMac, please be relatively gentle.
If a gen2 or gen3 model comes out with a better/more efficient graphics card is it not feasible for them to be retrofitted into earlier models. Albeit the AppleCare arguemt, but let's just take that out of the equation for a minute.
I expect the inners to be the same, unless the main board is changed in a later revision if a new cpu is available but can't be utilised in the current socket architecture.
I hope I am making sense.
