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 position here to answer questions. I’ll be spending the rest of today setting up the device, and I work from home on Fridays, but if there is anything you guys want me to test on both machines then let me know and we can do some head-to-head comparisons. I could test my home machine over the weekend and my work machine early next week.
So far I have observed that it is so much more beautiful and sleek looking in space gray/black. That alone makes me kind of regret my 2019 iMac purchase. The keyboard is breathtaking. I will definitely be purchasing one in this colorway for home use now, along with the matching mouse. I have a space gray decal skin on my home machine that I got on sale for $8, but it doesn’t quite compare to this. I’ve had it for maybe 30 minutes and I’ve already had 3 people audibly gasp while walking by my office wanting to check out my “new toy.”
Anyway, ask away. I’ll try to prioritize by what I’m able to do and what most people seem to want. For instance, I won’t be able to install bootcamp on my work machine. I mean maybe I could, but it’s a pain and I’d have to remove it since this drive is only 1TB. But I can do nearly anything else unless it’s software I’d have to buy. I have Adobe CC and a lot of common apps and utilities. I could run some benchmarks if there is some comparison that hasn’t been done online that people need to see.
