#Apple mac pro 2018 vs imacapple upgrade#
If you're editing 4K or 8K video or high-resolution photos, or working in CAD programs, you probably already know if you need an upgrade like that. SSDs are standard across the line (no more hybrid drives) with up to 8TB of storage, doubling the previous top capacity. Those new specs include 10th-gen Intel CPUs (up to a 10-core Core i9!) and even newer AMD Radeon 5000-series graphics cards. For students, it may be remote learning overkill, but for creative pros trying to rebuild a pro-level studio at home, there's a lot of new spec options to consider.

But it's also inspired me to expand my home office (i.e., a small corner of my bedroom) and start building a new 8-foot-long reclaimed wood work desk.
No, you can't easily carry it from room to room like a laptop - although I've lugged the iMac around my apartment many times for prime photo and video backdrops - and Apple's external mouse-and-keyboard combo isn't my favorite. But as I'm unable to travel to and from my office or work from coffee shops, I may as well enjoy some of the benefits that come from a desktop - namely the big screen. At another time, during another crisis, I may not have been so open to a desk-hogging all-in-one computer. I've been using the new iMac for the past couple of weeks, and after (many) years of working almost exclusively from laptops, especially at home, I'm already spoiled by the big screen.
