2019 imac

Hi, I used to read the forum for 2 or 3 years. I never attended to participate in the conversations. However, today I decided to write a post sharing my experience with the eGPU solution. In the past 2 or 3 months, I checked a couple of articles, posts and Youtube videos that promote the eGPU...

For all those who have struggled with purchasing DDR4 to upgrade your ram, then found it only runs at 2400MHz instead of the advertised 2666MHz, here is some background on common misconceptions and then the real truth and resolution. The first section just explains most ofour common...

Trying to decide if this is a better deal than the new 2019 27 iMac... I use Sketchup and plan to use this with Twinmotion Seems like the 8 GB GPU would be better than the 4 GB on the base 2019 model. I like the third option but $800 savings is significant. Thots appreciated! 1) $1599...

Looking for external formatting advice: 2019 iMac, Samsung 1TB T5 external SSD I've never uses an external SSD for storage. Should I ... 1. Leave formatting alone as Samsung has it. 2. Should I reformat with APFS or Mac Extended Journaled. What going to give me the most reliable experience...

A beautiful new base model stock iMac Pro just showed up at my work. It’s a surprise because I was originally denied an upgrade to the Pro version but I think my boss’ boss pulled some strings. I also recently purchased a maxed out 2019 iMac 5K for home use. So I’m in a bit of a unique...

I am just wondering if the 9th gen CPUs in the 2019 iMac are regular 'K' series processors that do contain Intel graphics for Quicksync encoding. There have been a few mentions that they are only 'KF' series processors (including in a linus tech tips review of the latest iMac) with Intel...

Hello all. So, I am finally ready to buy my first iMac, and I'm going to spec it out in order to future-proof it as much as possible. I'm coming from a 2013 MBA, and typically go at least this long between computers, so more is better when I do buy. My question is this: any idea at all when the...

(Sorry this thread doesn't really have any direction!) So. I took the plunge. After years of owning a decently specced (to 2015 or so) "gaming" PC I've bought not only my first desktop Mac, but also the first brand new desktop Mac I've ever owned. Around almost 10 years or so ago a white...

I have an iMac Pro with 64 RAM and it is still in the return window. I'm wondering if I should consider ditching it for a i9 8 core 2019 iMac with similar specs and save about $1400 (by adding my own RAM from OWC). I have not seen any conclusive breakdowns saying if the new iMac i9 is having any...

I am trying to decide to get a refurbished iMac Pro for $4,000 (see link below) or a highly configured 2019 iMac, which almost comes to $4,000 when you include Apple Care, upgraded Ram and tax. I watched this review and it seems like Premiere Pro runs better on the 2019 iMac - am I missing...

I want to purchase a new mac, specifically for video editing. I do a ton of corporate videos, but not necessarily all 4k. I am looking to get the top 27 inch iMac but I don’t know where to spend my money for upgrades. I’m currently editing on a Mid 2014 MacBook pro, 2.2 GHz, i7 with 15 GB of...

I’ve waited for the the 2019 iMacs, and planned on going for an i9 config with the 1TB SSD but realized I was in the mid to upper $3Ks very quickly. I know the base iMac Pro has some better standard design features (cooling, ports, video card, 10g Ethernet... even the FaceTime camera is 1080p...

First post here... Thanks for reading. I’m a fan of SSDs and have been using them in my (now ancient) iMacs. I am ready to pony up for a new 2019 iMac, but am not wanting to shell out what they ask for SSDs inside. I’m not afraid to install SSDs inside the machine, but figure I can wait until...

If you got one, post which 2019 iMac config you ordered! I ordered the following config and saved some money on RAM since it's user upgradable: 27" 5K 3.6GHz i9 8-core 8GB RAM Vega 48 2TB SSD Why did I go with this config? I didn't like that the i5 was the second best option, had the same...
