Hello all, trying to decide which way to go here. I used to do a lot of video editing / and websites etc back in 2011-2014. And Basically gave up on the business itself because I started investing my time into something else. I still did it over the years but mostly for favors and nothing like before. I was on the road so much and I gave my sister my iMac (I kept my Apple Display).
I currently have a 2018 MacBook Pro. At 1 of my jobs, I have 2 27" monitors and a thunderbolt dock that I can just hook my MacBook Pro up to and work off of that. IT WORKS GREAT.
But now, slowly, over the last few months. I've been getting into photography. And I just recently purchased a lighting setup for video production. Green screens and all... I've always used photoshop. I've fallen back in love with website building etc. Getting the business isn't going to be the problem.
The crucial part with me is that I need a workflow. At home, I have that apple display but its only 1. And no offense.. but I need 2 displays. After working with 2, you will understand. I rarely hook my MacBook up to it. You just cant go back. With all that I am trying to do. I know that the MBP is a capable machine, but I don't know if it has the power needed day in and day out.
Yes, I can buy a second monitor at home and a dock and go the cheaper route. But is that really the best way?
I do want my displays to match. I don't see how people work on two different brands of displays.. I know thats random, but im picky.
I know theirs not much difference between the top spec iMac and iMac Pro. but, just wondering and wanting to hear the workflows and setups that you all use. / Recommendations..
