I used to have a 27 inch Apple LED Display attached to my Mac Pro and 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt Display for my laptop. I decided to sell the 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt Display and put that money towards a new Dell Ultrasharp U3415W. At some point I'l sell the Apple LED Display, but for now it's been put away.

Already I've noticed that it's cooler at my desk, no longer sitting in front of that massive heat machine. Here's my current setup

how do you like the Dell monitor? I'm thinking of doing a similar setup with my rMBP 13", and selling off my 27" 2012 iMac

I'm very happy with it. Today I threw out the box as I have no intention of returning it.

One thing to note is that there is some IPS glow in the corners, but it doesn't bother me. Just something you should perhaps keep in mind.

Nice setup but don't you get a crick in your neck from having the monitor up so high? I had a 24" iMac and had to mount it to a monitor arm so I could lower it because the stock stand was too high.

Depends on how tall his desk is and how tall he is. Ass a 6'2 man, I like my head up just enough, so my monitors are pretty high too. With long hours in production, I find it easier to keep good posture when I look up a little bit, compared to down, or even perfectly level.

MY notice with his set up is, "cholesterol may be cancer cure". No ****?!

The first Apple product I bought was an iMac in 2000. It cost $799. The above is a picture that represents how it looked, color and all, though I no longer own it. Regretfully, I let it go years ago. :(

Today I have a rMBP as detailed below in my signature.

Nothing happened with the Surface Book. Will most likely return the MacBook Pro. Just wanted to give it a shot.

Posted my thoughts in another thread but I'll post here:

MacBook Pro Touch reviews from actual users

Picked up the 15-inch touchbar 2.7/512/455 a few days ago just to try out and here's my take on it so far...

* Love the light, thin design. For a 15-inch it's pretty incredible
* No complaints on day to day performance, email, web, MS Office (office on Mac is still behind on PC, not Apple's fault), videos, music, etc
* Final Cut Pro flies on this thing and editing in 4K is definitely a lot better coming from the 2013 MBP 15-inch
* No issues running Windows 10 in Parallels
* Have not tried bootcamp yet due to multiple people reporting speakers being blown out
* keyboard is a step a head of the rMB, which I actually like but I definitely like the Surface Book's keyboard a lot more
* Speakers are the best I have heard on a laptop
* Stop ****** crying about DongleLife. Most people will only need one - such as the Hootoo Shuttle USB-C which has USB A ports, HDMI out, and SD reader.
* Being able to charge through any external battery pack or USB adaptor in a pinch is very useful!
* 1Password + Touch ID = Heaven
* Other than touch ID, I have yet to find a real use for the touchbar - still treated as if they were physical keys
* the trackpad is ridiculously big. palm rejection is good... however it registers my left clicks as right clicks on occasion - not sure if anyone else is having that problem
* that battery meter is full of crap. it fluctuates constantly. At 100%, it shows 4.5 hours battery life... at 70% I have 5.5 hours and then at 50% I have 5 hours. WTF. I believe this is why people believe the battery life sucks, because the battery meter algorithm sucks
* Most probably won't keep this. My 2013 Macbook Pro still works fine for my uses (mainly Final Cut Pro) and am very happy with my Surface Book Performance Base

Again, this is only based on 2.5 days of use. My opinion could change in a few weeks. Nice having that Apple Holiday Return Policy :)

I used this exact iMac in school from 2000 - 2006 running OS 9 and then OS X.
