Photographer Austin Mann Reviews the iMac Pro

[sdz]

Except the iMac Pro is a completely re-engineered computer, but don’t let that get in the way of a good rant.

Completely reengineered with same old thermal issues.

Fanboyism.

The iMac Pro was a waste of R&D that Apple could have spent getting a new Mac Pro into production. I can’t imagine many professionals waiting for a new Mac Pro to buy an iMac. iMac Pro is a great computer but the name itself goes against the strategy that Apple used when Steve announced the iMac in the first place.

iMac consumer desktop
iBook consumer notebook
PowerMac pro desktop
PowerBook pro notebook

It was simple and elegant.

And in such a world there would be no room for Mac Pro or Mac Mini or MacBook Air.

Wow. Please tell me what your business name is so I can tell everyone I know to avoid your business.
All professionals that I know, be it contractors, photographers, designers, etc, ALL want to finish their jobs faster, so they can get more clients. Nobody ever think that if they finish their job faster, it's not good for them, NOBODY.
Please please please announce your business here, I really need to warn others to avoid you.

He is right though. How would getting more clients get you more money if you charge the same amount per hour and you do not want to increase your workload?

Slow computer scenario:
Customer 1: 10h
Other customers: 30h
= 40h * $100 = $4000

Fast computer scenario:
Customer 1: 5h
Other customers: 30h
= 35h * $100 = $3500

Even if you added a new customer, you would not necessarily make more
Customer 1: 5h
Customer 2: 5h
Other customers: 30h
=40h * $100 = $4000

I didn’t say they should go back to that model, read my comment again. And we would still have the Mac Pro, it’s on the list that I posted as the PowerMac.

I was using the original strategy used when the iMac was released, read my comment. And we would still have the Mac Pro, that’s what the PowerMac is.
