Hi KW

Me too. Our current home Mac is a 2012…2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16GB of RAM and I'm feeling the slow down with the latest system upgrade.

So 2018 or 2019 we'll bump up to a 27" iMac. I'm retired, and no longer doing any 'heavy lifting' recording…but my photo and video editing have ramped up due to our ability to travel whenever/wherever we choose.

I have no need of the MacPro.

I'm going to look at the info on the new iMacPro. Early reports indicated RAM not upgradable, so if it can be done retro by service that would be awesome. I don't think the audio, photo or video industry are lowering their standards so the horsepower required in the future is sure to go up. Futureproofing is a tricky art-form.
