i have a 2010 I7 27" iMac with a dead internal drive. I installed a bootable external SATA drive to hold me out until today's announcements but with the lack of new models I'm not sure what to do and ask your advice.
I photograph weddings part time (now off season) and end up with about 2000 images per wedding to cull and process. I shoot RAW so the files are pretty big. Most processing is done in Lightroom with only portraits brought into Photoshop for retouching.
I tried the 2015 I5 iMac and a 6 core Mac Pro out and performance in Lightroom was about the same, didn't get a chance to try Photoshop on either.
I was thinking of going with either the I7 iMac or the 6 Core Pro, both with 1TB SSD and 16 gigs of ram but couldn't pull the trigger because of the don't buy recommendations here and honestly couldn't make up my mind anyway.
Now that nothing in a desktop configuration was announced, I'm really undecided. I like the new monitor of the iMac but the "portability" of the Mac Pro that I can plug it with hdmi into my 75" TV for showings is also attractive. I'd like something that will serve me for at least 6 years if possible.
What do you suggest? Should I stick with my severely hobbled iMac until the next announcement or pull the trigger on which one?
Thanks for your opinion.
