So I was looking at prices of the MacBook Pro Retina and was almost willing to drop $3k on a good configuration of it. Then it hit me... by the time I buy the MacBook and the external display I will have spent AT LEAST $4k.
With the iMac it seems you can get a pretty high spec unit for about $2,500 and it already includes the 5k display, probably even the same panel.
My question is, does anyone know how the performance of the new MacBook pros stacks up in terms of benchmarks and real usage (like Final Cut rendering times, gaming performance)?
I will probably not buy this generation of iMacs, but the one that they will announce hopefully by spring. But still, having an idea of how even THIS generation stacks up against the brand new Pro's will be a good indicator how good or bad of an idea this is.
