Hello.
I have a 2014 top spec'd 27" retina iMac which I'm pretty happy with. I see now it as been updated with a new one. Is the new one (with everything upgraded) that much better?
I hear the 1TB SSD is a fair bit faster and the processor quicker but I am not sure how much this will show in the real world. Maybe the faster SSD will make the OS seem quicker ... not sure. The 4GB GPU seems different as well and I am not sure how this will affect the system for graphics. I also read that colours are more accurate but I have already calibrated mine as best I could so I'm not too concerned about that either as it seems fine for what I do.
I use the computer for a lot of graphics but am not really a pro ... just a hobbyist. I edit and grade 4K video & some 1080p BMPCC RAW (DaVinci Resolve & FCPX) and also use Lightroom and Photoshop a fair bit including for large 1-200MB Scanned Analog files. Really, I can not fault this computer ... it manages to do everything pretty well ... but it's always nice to do things even faster !!
Is there that much of a difference between the two models? Doesn't seem to be a massive difference.
Cheers.
