THE SWEET SPOT

While we’re all thinking about the new iPhones, Apple Watch Series 3 and the Apple TV 4K as routes to reduce our bank balances – quite significantly in the case of the iPhone X – I’d like to step back to the previous Apple event and the new iMac and iMac Pro in particular.

My current Late 2009 iMac has served me well, but it’s time to upgrade and I need a Mac that offers fast video file conversion and editing. And there’s the dilemma. Highend iMac or low-end iMac Pro, on the basis that a fully loaded iMac Pro is likely to be eye-wateringly expensive.

So here’s the question: Where do you think the ‘sweet spot’ lies? What’s the best trade-off between model, price and performance?

I think this would warrant a feature. Great magazine guys!
